Refurbished Nikon D5600 w/18-55 DX VR AF-P w/90-day warranty for $450 [limited time offer]

With cameras adding more and more “smartphone” features, the decision on which model to get if you don’t want to pay top dollars for the “latest models” gets more complicated. A “smartphone feature evaluation” in addition to the camera features evaluation is needed. For example if you want Wifi, touchscreen, app support, etc…

… which brings us to a limited time offer on a recent Nikon DSLR, Adorama is offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D5600 with 18-55mm (DX VR AF-P f3.5-5.6) going for $450 with free US shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty…

[DEAD?] Waiting List OPEN: Nikon D3400 with 18-55 DX VR for $315 [Prime only]

UPDATE 10:51am ET: it looks like this deal is dead…

UPDATE 9:15am ET: this switches like a Yo-Yo between Waiting List FULL or OPEN. It may continue like this for a while…

UPDATE 9am ET: the Waiting List is now OPEN, so you can join the wait. There’s still no guarantee you will get a shot at it, but if you are gonna be near the internet, you can give it a shot…

As of 8:11am eastern, this is “100% Claimed” and “Waiting List Full” but the offer runs until the end of the day, so if you want to try to play the waiting game, you may get a shot at it. People have 15 minutes to get it once it is in their shopping cart. If they don’t get it, it goes to the next person in the Waiting List. As the 15 minute blocks go by with un-purchased units, more spots open up in the Waiting List. But there’s no guarantee you will get it because they have a finite number of items available for each lightning deal…

With that out of the way, it’s the new condition Nikon D3400 with 18-55 DX VR going for $315. Prime members only as usual…

[DEAD?] Canon SL2 Body for $314, with 18-55 STM for $384 [ends 5:30pm ET] {Prime Deal}

UPDATE 9am eastern: it looks like this deal is over. It either sold out or ended. It didn’t have a ticking clock or percentage-claimed like most lightning deals do. It was one of those semi-daily type of deals that usually appear during the holidays and on special events like Prime Day. I will monitor the situation and post an update if it returns…

ORIGINAL POST
A Salt Lake Rebel? That’s what the Canon SL-series stands for? Anyway good until 5:30pm ET on Tuesday (or earlier if sold out) you can get the new condition Canon SL2 body only for $314 in the black color scheme, and in either the black or the white color scheme you can get the new condition Canon SL2 with 18-55 EF-S STM lens for $384…

These was an unannounced deal, as it is often the case when the Gold Box has name-brand and high-value type of products. Otherwise everyone will be sitting on their PC waiting and it will all be gone within 60 seconds 🙂

These too are part of the Prime Day deals. If you are not a Prime member and you must have it, you can always start a free 30-day Prime Trial and leave a note/alert in your calendar to cancel before the expiration. Although what Amazon is counting on is that you are gonna get hooked on the free 2-day delivery and the music and video streaming services and the ebook reading services and the million (seemingly) other Prime Benefits…

NOTE that the SL2 is now the “previous generation” model. The Canon SL3 is the latest model which goes for $550 body only or $650 with the 18-55 lens. Almost twice the price.

Refurbished Nikon D810 body w/90-day warranty for $1750

The new condition Nikon D810 price is too close to the D850 BUT if you are willing to go manufacturer refurbished, then $1000 gets shaved off the price! For $1750 with free US shipping, Adorama is offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D810 body only with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty… Optionally you can get a $100 off combined purchase discount if you purchase it together (in the same shopping cart) with select Profoto lights [see “Buy Together & Save” over there]…

Meanwhile if you or your friendly camera technician need some D810 parts, there is a “Parts Only” listing with detailed description (“body is cracked open near …”) going for $309 at Adorama (USED). Note that this $309 does NOT function ~ it is for parts, repairs, experiments, and such…

Wedn: Tamron 150-600/5-6.3 Di VC [C/N] for $779 {also Dracast, Atomos, Surface} [updated]

One of the benefits of the Canon-Nikon systems is the abundance of third-party lenses from the Japanese trio (TamTokSig), offering more affordable alternatives to the “canon” system lenses. Which brings us to the Wednesday B&H Photo daily deals, headlined by the new condition Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD lens offered for $779 with free shipping in your choice of Canon or Nikon systems…

PS: this is certified to be a Tamron lens {that’s because I often confuse/mistype Tamron and Tokina ~ they share four of the six letters in their respective names}
