Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
Let them have pancake lenses said Marie Photographette! And the Olympus USA Outlet Store obeyed the order…
… the manufacturer refurbished Olympus M.Zuiko Lens 17mm f2.8 (Silver) is back in-stock for $90. Free shipping or flat $5 if the order total is under $100, I don’t remember. It comes with a 90-day Olympus USA warranty.
This lens is no longer available in new condition. The most reputable dealer carrying right now is used at KEH Camera for $159+
The manufacturer refurbished Olympus E-M10 II body only (second generation) is now in-stock and ready to ship for $300 with free shipping and a 90-day Olympus USA warranty as part of the Olympus USA Outlet Store refill. It is in-stock as of the time of writing…
In new condition, this goes for $550 at authorized dealers such as Adorama and B&H Photo and $650 with the 14-42 or $750 with the 12-50. This was the price of the body only two weeks ago as well when I posted the Mirrorless Price Charts.
If you prefer the refurbished E-M10 II with the 14-42mm EZ, it goes for $430 in black or silver at the Olympus Outlet store, which is exactly the price of the refurbished 14-42mm EZ lens on its own. So if you go refurbished, the delta between the body only and the “with 14-42 EZ” is +$150, while in new condition is +$100. In other words, if you don’t feel compelled to have the 14-42 EZ lens, you can also look into getting a different lens, for example, a $90 pancake.
The manufacturer refurbished Olympus E-M10 body only (first generation) is now in-stock and ready to ship for $200 with free shipping and a 90-day Olympus USA warranty as part of the Olympus USA Outlet Store refill. It is in-stock as fo the time of writing…
The first generation Olympus E-M10 is no longer available in new condition at authorized dealers. Olympus already revealed the third generation (E-M10 III), one among the 12 new mirrorless new cameras of 2017.
This is a breaking news alert! The Olympus USA Outlet Store has been refilled! Thirteen new items have been added since I checked earlier today!
You can find some of the highlights broken down individually under the Olympus category…

The latest model GoPro HERO6 Black is on a drip-drop sale again, going for $478~ with free shipping, in new condition at Amazon by Amazon itself with up to three units per customer at the sale price. Its regular price is $500.
Speaking of GoPRO, their Karma + Hero bundles are as follows:
+ Karma Drone + HERO5 Black for $899
+ Karma Drone + HERO6 Black for $999
+ limit three of each per customer
The Adobe Photoshop Elements 2018 is now down to $60 at Amazon by Amazon itself in your choice of a PC or MAC download or PC/Mac media in the mail.
Likewise, Premiere Elements 2018 goes for $60 as download or by mail.
Or if you want both, you can get the Elements Photoshop + Premiere 2018 for $90 as PC/Mac disc or Mac download. For some reason the PC download is not available. NOTE: that both the regular version and the Student and Teacher (STE) version are in the same listing, so if you are checking the different options, make sure you are looking at the correct version!
If you enjoy nature photography and videography, the new condition Planet Earth II 4K BluRay + 4K standard edition is on sale for $30 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself with up to two sets per customer.
The problem with the Canon Outlet specials is that sometimes they sell out really fast, but thankfully we managed to catch one of the two colors of the Canon G9X RAWsumer still in-stock, the brown/silver color scheme of the manufacturer refurbished Canon G9X for $250 with free shipping and a 1-year warranty. The black color scheme is sold out. You also get a FREE color matching camera case and camera strap when you add the camera to the shopping cart.
In new condition, this went for $400 when I posted the RAWsumer price chart a couple of weeks ago and still goes for that price at B&H Photo (with extras) and Amazon itself.
Nom-Nom Elph appetizer! The red color scheme is already sold out, but you can get the silver color scheme of the Canon Elph 180 P&S digital camera in manufacturer refurbished condition with a 1-year Canon USA warranty and free shipping!
This goes for $110 in new condition, eg Amazon by Amazon itself after the $10 off clip-on coupon. Cameras now have clip-on coupons? Who knew 🙂
The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM lens is bundled with a number of Canon APS-C DSLR kits but it is crazy-priced on its own in new condition at authorized dealers. It currently goes for $600, or you can get it for $400 as a white box at B&H Photo.
But fear not, the Canon Pre-Black-Friday Sale has you covered. The lens is in-stock as of the time of writing, you can get this lens in manufacturer refurbished condition for $280 with free shipping and a 1-year Canon USA warranty.
As Larry David would say, this is pretty, pretty, pretty good!
The official Canon USA store launched a 17-item Pre Black Friday sale, and one of the items offered is the manufacturer refurbished Canon D-Rebel T6i with 18-55 IS STM offered for $449 with free shipping and a 1-year Canon USA warranty and a free Magnifier MG-Ef. It is in-stock as of the time of writing.
In new condition this kit goes for $749 at authorized Canon dealers such as Adorama.
Not a bad price for a “take pictures” with kit with a 1-year warranty.
Last night we mentioned some of the 6D II offers but there’s more. If you prefer the first generation Canon 6D body only, it dropped from $1400 when we did the 35mm FF Price Chart to $1300 now at authorized dealers, and there are couple of offers with useful freebies for $1300:
+ At B&H Photo you get a FREE 1-Year Adobe Photography Creative Cloud subscription
+ At Canon USA you get a FREE Canon Battery Grip BG-E21. This gets added automatically to our shopping cart while this promotion is running.
The Canon M6 dropped $100 since we posted the Mirrorless Price Charts, currently going for $680 body only and $800 with 15-45 at authorized dealers such as Amazon and Adorama.
But the official Canon USA outlet store has two optional combined purchase discounts on the new condition Canon M6 kits (not the refurbished). Thanks to a combined purchase discount, you can get either the EVF-DC1 for $50 more or the Mount Adapter (EF/S lenses to EF-M bodies) for $50 more. I don’t know if you can get both discounts if you add them all to your shopping cart.
If you love red superzoom digital cameras, the red manufacturer refurbished Canon SX 710 HS with a 30X optical zoom and a 1-year Canon USA warranty and a free 8GB SD card goes for $150 with free shipping at the Canon USA outlet store. It is in-stock as of the time of writing. This too is one of their Pre-Black-Friday Sale items.
And now to the Canon mirrorless system we go. The new condition Canon M100 with 15-45mm goes for $500 with some free accessories at authorized dealers such as Adorama.
However, if you also want to buy the Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS M together with the camera, the official Canon USA store’s Pre-Black Friday sale has a promotion that gets you a $150 off combined purchase discount if you buy together in the same shopping cart:
+ new condition Canon M100 with 15-45mm
+ new condition Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS M (allows Canon EF or EF-S lenses to be mounted on EF-M mirrorless cameras)
This offer is mentioned on the product pages of both eligible cameras and the Mount Adapter.
The price math is this: $500 + $200 – $150 = $550 total.
The Canon 24–105mm f/3.5–5.6 IS STM goes for $600 in new condition (eg Adorama) but if you want to save some but still get a 1-year warranty, then…
… to the Canon USA store we go where you can get this lens in manufacturer refurbished condition for $380 with free shipping and a 1-year warranty. It is in-stock as of the time of writing.
Adorama is having an instant savings sale on Vanguard Aluminum Tripods with seven models participating, with prices ranging from $110 to $180. They are part of the 235, 263, and 264 lines.
Meanwhile the Manfrotto Stile Veloce V Backpack, model MBSB390-5BB, is on sale for $60 with free shipping.
A 20% off green clip-on coupon drops the price of the LensShifter Blue to $18~ and the LensShifter Red to $20. Free shipping for Prime or with a $25+ order. Only items sold and shipped by Amazon itself are eligible for the 20% off clip-on coupon.
