eBay has created a featured Nikon camera gear sale with a total of 254 items participating. You can filter them using the options on the left hand side over there (DSLRs, bundles, compacts, lenses, flashes). Unfortunately my brain is a 900 MHz Celeron, I can’t go through 250+ items and price-check them like that, so this is a DIY adventure (in other words, if I wait until I can go through them all before I post this, I will probably never post this).
Back to the feeBay Deals we geaux where GetItDigital (99.6%) is offering new condition but imported (grey market) Canon 5D Mark III with 24-105 f4L IS kits for $2600 with free shipping with a one year warranty provided by GetItDigital, not Canon USA.

PS: the chances of typos and HTML errors are elevated in the next few days as I switched to a new style keyboard and I get adjusted to it. Conventional keyboards showed their performance limit for this blog on Prime Day, so a new Prime Deal sale keyboard is now here, one of those Microsoft Beasts that take half a zipcode 😉

If anyone remembers to look up forum histories, the new Sigma 24-35mm f2 lens will make some eat digital (probably not actual) crow. This new lens is now available for pre-order for $1000 even at Adorama in the Canon mount or the Nikon mount or the Sigma mount.
Hype is a double edged sword, and just like others before (and probably many more in the future) Amazon found out the hard way. After an unprecedented amount of hype (especially by Amazon’s fairly low key standards), Prime Day arrived, and it did not live to that level of hype. With that hype level, probably anything short of $100 iPads under every chair (stand-in for very popular fast-selling item offered at a crazy discount), would have generated varying levels of disappointment.
The internet had its fun with #PrimeDayFail quips (see some of them assembled at Heavy and Gizmodo among many others).
More after the jump since this is a “meta” post. It is a long boring post, it can help you fall asleep and you don’t need a prescription for it 🙂

NOTE: when you add software to cart, the shopping cart may automatically add a “download insurance” service for $8 more. If you don’t want that, just click on the grey “x” in its ledger line in the shopping cart to get rid of it.
On the printing front, the Walgreens Photo site has coupon code POSTDEAL60 that gets you 60% off posters, good until the end of day on Saturday 7/18/15 (central time, Walgreens’s server clock decides time). Per the page there, “available in 11×14, 16×20, 20×30 and 24×36.
