Nikon S2 with 11-27.5mm for $170 (1-System)
The action never stops at the eBay Deals where BuyDig’s eBay store (authorized Nikon dealer) is offering the new condition, in a choice of four different colors, and with a limit of five per customer Nikon J2 with 11-27.5mm for $170 with free shipping. That’s a 1-inch iLC with a lens for $170. Our 2005 selves would probably argue vehemently against such low prices (and new camera system) being realistic in the 2005 forums 😉

AmazonBasics Compact Camera Case for $2.44 [limit 30]
In a new Bag the Tiny Camera Bags installment, the small AmazonBasics Compact Camera Case is on sale again, going for $2.44 (was $2.57) in new condition, with a limit of 30 per customer at Amazon by Amazon herself. This ships in frustration free packaging, which means it may get shipped in the sturdy cardboard box that some furstration-free packaging items ship in. There are conflicting dimensions in the product description, but the pictures tell the story, this is a small bag for Elph-sized cameras or to store small easy to lose accessories or (already protected) memory cards. It has a carabiner clip, and a tiny external zippered pocket.
NOTE: three different sizes are on the product page. The following is a filtered list of the reviews for the compact size only.
There is a however, this item is part of the Amazon Add-ON program, which means you have to place an order of $25+ in order to be allowed to buy it. The restriction applies to all Amazon customers, including Prime members. You can reach $25+ with any combination of eligible physical products that ship from or are fulfilled by Amazon. You can also reach $25+ with ten of these (based on the current price).
Free shipping with a $35+ order for non-Prime members. Prime members need to place a $25+ order because of the Add-On restriction. Add-ON items cannot be purchased if your order total is under $25, even if you are willing to pay for shipping out of your own pocket. The tyranny of the shopping cart 🙂
This is part of the ever-growing line of AmazonBasics camera bags which now includes options for GoPros.

Thank You Points: 20% off on select Reward Redemptions (GoPro, a couple of Coolpix)
Good until 8/31/15, if you have enough Citibank Thank You Rewards points, they are having a 20% off redemption sale on select items available through their rewards program. The offer slideshow shows the Nikon Coolpix S7000 and S33 waterproof, the GoPro Hero + Handler, etc. I don’t know if the list of rewards differs depending on which credit cards you have linked to your Thank You account so there might be a bit of YMMV. No coupon needed, the points needed to redeem are adjusted automatically by them.
Strategically this may be a good deal if the discounted redemption price in points is lower than the actual price at major retailers, and if it is better compared to other redemptions (eg gift cards for various retailers).
Refurbished Fuji S9200 superzoom (50x) for $130 or S8600 (35x) for $85 [updated]
Fuji alone has close to a million S-series superzooms, and that’s before you factor in the options from all the other manufacturers. One of the S-Superzoom models is the S9200 (50x optical) and said camera is offered in certified refurbished condition (90 day warranty, all accessories) for $130 with free Prime shipping by Dealfisher fulfilled by Amazon.
UPDATE: speaking of which, the certified refurbished Fuji S8600 superzoom (36x optical) goes for $85 with free shipping by various through Amazon, with the first three listings (as of the time of writing) fulfilled by Amazon so they are eligible for free 2-day Prime shipping for members.
Refurbished Nikon S9900 compact-zoom for $230
The Nikon Coolpix S9900 is offered manufacturer refurbished with a 90 day Nikon USA warranty for $230 with free shipping at Groupon Goods. Before I give you the spoiler, take a closer look at that listing. Spoiler in the next paragraph, stop reading if you don’t want to be spoiled 🙂
The spoiler is… the picture is of a Sony superzoom camera, but everything in the listing is about the Nikon S9900 which may perhaps explain why they only sold one, even though it’s a good price, when you consider the new condition is $300 at Amazon and Best Buy upon eBay et al. The Groupon listing for the new condition Coolpix S9900 has the correct picture.
Imported (grey market) Nikon D4S body only for $4000
More eBay action, this time of the imported grey-market variety, without a Nikon USA warranty but with a seller one year warranty. eBay seller Get It Digital (99.7%) is offering the new condition grey-market imported Nikon D4S body only for $4000 with free shipping with a limit of five per customer. It does not come with a Nikon USA warranty instead the seller provides a one year warranty (parallel in features to the manufacturer warranty), with the “Item Specifics” on the eBay listing saying: “Trained Professionals at Authorized Repair Center”.
If you are not comfortable with imported grey-market items, you can get it manufacturer refurbished with a 90 day Nikon USA warranty for $5000 at Adorama.
The new condition price, at authorized Nikon dealers is $6000 with some offering free accessories, such as B&H Photo (32GB Extreme, extra battery, shutter release, shoulder bag) and Adorama (2% rewards and extra accessories or free Audio-Technica AT8024 camera-mount mic) or Amazon (64GB Lexar, camera bag).

$20 off a $50+ Amazon Prime Now order with coupon (first time PrimeNow orders only)
Amazon seems to be having a midlife crisis Big Bang of sorts because they are expanding in all kinds of different ways. If you live in an area that is eligible for Prime Now delivery (one hour delivery of your purchases; for Prime members only) and you haven’t placed a Prime Now order before, you can get $20 off your first order of $50 or more with coupon code TRYITNOW entered over there. An expiration date is not mentioned.
Items must be ordered with the PrimeNow app and be sold and shipped by Amazon and eligible for Prime Now. You can find more details and the full terms and conditions at the PrimeNow page. Strategically this may be handy if you are purchasing products that have the same price everywhere at reputable/authorized dealers.’
PS: I can’t test this because I am not in a PrimeNow delivery zone (yet), so I can’t tell you about the mechanics of the ordering. Prime Now is different from Prime Pantry which is different from AmazonFresh Prime which is different from Prime Student which is different from Prime Mom which is different from Prime Squared 😉
60-inch Dolica LA600 Pro Tripod (Traveler Edition) for $70
The 60-inch Dolica LA600 Pro aluminum alloy tripod with ballhead, traveler edition, is currently on sale for $70 with free shipping at Groupon Goods. This is sold on the Groupon website but the seller is Dolica (same way Amazon, NewEgg, Sears, etc have 3rd-party sellers on their website). This is a final sale (no returns). US continental states only. No PO Boxes. Not eligible for coupon codes. Which is why there is no place to enter the previously mentioned coupon code after you add it to the Groupon shopping cart – I am no Sherlock Homes – it took me a couple of minutes to put the two together 🙂
