Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
Borrow Lenses is back with another promotion. If you place a rental order with a duration of seven days or more, you will get seven days free. The offer is explained in detail with a screenshot from their email better than I can do with paragraphs and paragraphs of text 🙂

Adorama strikes again, this time they have a Fuji X-system offer! The Fuji X-A2 with the 16-50mm XC lens are available for $360 with free expedited shipping and $14~ in promotional rewards! This is the brown-silver color scheme. A nice price for a new condition “take pictures with” kit. This is an older model, it came out around CES 2015.
For more Adorama action, check their Cyber Monday 2.0 sale.
This is the lowest priced lens so far that gets a $100 gift certificate from Adorama, it is the new condition Panasonic 100-300mm f4-5.6 II Power O.I.S going for $648 with free expedited shipping… No promotional rewards on this one… You can optionally triple the original warranty by filing with Panasonic…

PS: this is a good opportunity to search for your favorite Panasonic lenses at Adorama to see if they too are getting free gift certificates!
We already mentioned a number of Panasonic cameras getting free gift cards at Adorama, but it looks like this promotion is also covering some lenses as well! The new condition Panasonic Lumix G Vario 7-14mm f4 goes for $798 with free expedited shipping and $32~ promotional rewards AND a $100 Adorama gift certificate! The offer continues as long as you see the $100 gift certificate mentioned in the listing.
Adorama is running what they call a 48-hour Cyber Monday 2.0 sale using their new visual format. Since the clock is ticking, I’m posting this now, because it may take a few hours before I can go though it all…
It’s an orange-cream soda price match, the new condition 64GB Samsung 100MB/s (U3) MicroSD EVO Memory Card with Adapter (MB-MP64GA/AM) is going for $20 with free shipping at Walmart by Walmart itself (limit 2) and at Amazon by Amazon itself (limit 10; free Prime or $25+ shipping).

As of a 12/5/17 at 8:33pm ET, the estimate has moved from December 7 to December 18. This is likely because more pre-orders came in to eat up the upcoming inventory or something changed infrastructure-wise (eg delays at the ports and such).
For the big picture, check the Stock Status Tracker…
The Sony a7r III body only now has a December 7 estimate (as of the time of writing) at B&H Photo. Keep in mind, estimates can change over time…
This short flash sale expired…
The last of the flash sales at B&H Photo for Tuesday, good until 11:59pm ET, you can get the new condition Vello Octa Softbox for Portable Flash (Large, 12″) for $15 with free shipping. The price before the sale was $25 when I posted the daily round-up.
Another Flashpoint …flash sale at Adorama, it is the new condition Flashpoint Photo/Video 19″ AC Powered 600W 5500K Fluorescent Ring Light With Bag on sale for $50 with free shipping for a limited time.
A new shopping week is here in the Office Depot Rewards offers, running between December 3-9 in 2017. Just like before, you can buy one or two 16-packs of single use AA or AAA Duracell batteries, in-store or online. You pay full price, and a few weeks later, you receive the price of the batteries as an Office Depot reward. This time it is a 100% Reward offer, not a 1c after Rewards. Hooray for a penny saved 🙂 Sales tax not rewarded as usual.
If you are looking for other supplies, they also have 100% back rewards on select binders, 1c after rewards on Boise X9 copy paper, and even more copy paper offers. It’s a season of printing 🙂
If you already have Canon mirrorless system lenses, or you are planning to use the lens mount adapter, or don’t want/need the “with 15-45mm” kits, another Canon mirrorless camera on the way out is the M3. The body remains available with some free accessories for $429 at Adorama, same price as mid early November when we posted the Mirrorless Price Charts.
But if you want to shave $100 off that price, and still get a 1-year warranty from Canon, you can get it for $329 in manufacturer refurbished condition (manurefurb) where it is one of the 38 cameras in their refurbished iLC sale.
It is in-stock as of the time of writing. I’m including this phrase in the Canon refurbished deal posts because some of the offers they have there are “out of stock” and cannot be ordered. By typing it in, it’s another safeguard in preventing me from posting unpurchasable deals 🙂
UPDATE: but if you want a “take pictures with” kit, you can get it in either black or white for $399 with a 1-year warranty in manufacturer refurbished condition. Both colors are in-stock as of the time of writing.
Another sale promotion featuring 38 refurbished Canon DSLRs and MiLCs is now in-progress at the official Canon USA outlet store, offering 1-year warranties on their manufacturer refurbished products as usual.
If you are curious about the Canon mirrorless system, but don’t want to break the bank, one of these offers, in-stock as of the time of writing, is the manurefurb (new proposed LOL term for “manufacturer + refurbished”) Canon M10 with 15-45mm in the black or the white color scheme for $329.
This is an older model on its way out (no longer available at Adorama or B&H), but you can get it in new condition for $450 by Samy’s Camera thru Amazon. This was already off the radar when we posted the Mirrorless Price Chart in early November 2017.
UPDATE 12/18/17: it looks like this weekly promotion ended… The page returns a 404…
UPDATE Tue 12/5/17 11am ET: both remain empty as of this recheck as well…
I haven’t forgotten the Weekly Coupon Sale at KEH (using coupon code KEHDEALS). As of the time of writing, the deals for this new week have not been loaded yet over there. I will be monitoring the situation and post a new post when they go live.
PS: also empty is the Olympus Outlet store. Lots of stores are reading Suzuki Roshi these days 🙂
The Panasonic freebie promotions move to the world of Micro Four Thirds, where the Panasonic GX85 has made a new friend! The standard Panasonic GX85 (GX eighty five) with 12-32mm is now bundled with the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 45-150mm f/4-5.6 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. Lens, together going for $598 with free shipping and 4% promotional rewards at B&H Photo and Adorama. You can optionally file with Panasonica to triple the original warranty.
This time the Amazon price bots woke up, and Amazon itself too is offering the free 45-150 lens, in silver or black, with up to three per color for $598. If you pay with a Prime credit card or with the activated Discover Q4 Cashback promotion, you get 5% back as a statement credit.
PS: some of the Panasonic model names are easy to mistype, so as an extra verification, I am typing the model name twice, the second time in words, eg GX85 (GX eighty five) or LX10 (LX ten). This reduces the chances of typos, as the Panasonic line-up has some traps, LX10/LX100, G85/GX85/GX850, etc.
Don’t cry for me walletina! The gift certificate now matches the model number! The silver color scheme of the Panasonic LX100 is bundled with a $100 Adorama gift certificate and $24 in promotional rewards at Adorama. Meanwhile the black color scheme gets a $50 gift certificate instead. This is a RAWsumer with a “M43rds” size sensor.
The same price is available at B&H Photo with free accessories but no gift cards. At Amazon, only 3rd-party sellers offer free accessories but no gift cards.
This camera went for $800 when I posted the RAWsumer Price Charts in early November 2017.
Hold on to your wallets! The Panasonic temptations keep on coming! This time it is the new condition Panasonic LX10 (LX ten) bundled with a $80 Adorama gift certificate, and $22 promotional rewards, all together going for $548 with free shipping at Adorama. This too has a 1-inch sensor… It went for $600 without the $80 gift card when I posted the RAWsumer Price Charts in early November 2017…
No gift card at B&H Photo but you get a 32GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC and a pouch. No freebies at all at Amazon.
