It has a 12x optical zoom lens with OIS, 1-year warranty, 20mp sensor, Wifi, SDXC card support, 720p video, 2.7″ LCD, etc… Did I mention this is in the purple color scheme? Sorry, no “Deep Purple” edition available 🙂
OR if you are a fan of used cameras, you can get it for $59 in “Used – Excellent’ condition over there. Not sure if the used price is coupled with the daily deal price (eg it will go up when the new condition price increases after the daily deal expires)…
Speaking of Adorama, they are currently running a BIG 4-DAY SALE with over 500 items participating. Too many obviously to list here individually, use the various filters on the left hand side over there to look for items of interest (eg by manufacturer, product type, discount percentage, price range, etc)…

Wedn: Sony Cybershot W800 P&S camera (5x optical) for $50
Among the Hump Day Woot Electronics deals of the day is a sale on the new condition Sony Cybershot W800 P&S digital camera (20mp 1/2.3″ CCD, 5x optical zoom (26-130mm eq), Lion, 2.7″ LSD, microSD and MS Duo, etc) in the black color scheme going for $50 with free shipping for Prime members [you have to connect your Woot-Prime accounts ~ a one-time action] or $6 flat for the calendar day for non-members.

The aforementioned sale includes various other assorted electronics including the new condition Force1 U45WF Wi-Fi Camera Drone for $70, a Phantom 2 controller for $40, a couple of Rokus, a couple of gaming accessories, and more. The reason there are multiple items in a daily deal is because sometimes Woot groups together a “Plus” sale and offers it as a daily deal. I don’t know if the Plus sale will continue after the daily deal expires or it will disband or the items will join other sales and such…
If you missed yesterday’s $80 Chromebook, fear not! Woot Computers comes to the rescue with another one, this one is actually $79, it is the refurbished Dell Chromebook 11-3120 Notebook with the Intel N2840 2.16GHz Dual-Core processor, 4GB DDR3 [important these days], 16GB eMMC of on-board storage, 802.11ac, Bluetooth, etc. It comes with a 90-day Woot warranty. Limit up to ten per customer. Of interest if there’s rough usage for the laptop as it is a MIL-STD model.
IMPORTANT: now that Chromebooks have been around for quite a few years, a new twist/risk is raising it’s semi-ugly head. Google does not offer automated OS updates for platforms that are over 6.5 years old. Note that the clock starts ticking on the platform, not the individual laptop. So the clock for this device began ticking when the first Intel N2840 Chromebook came out. This particular model will get auto-updates until June 2020. Details at 11 or more conveniently at the Google Support page for ChromeOS devices 🙂
UPDATE: while we are on the topic of daily deals, one of the Amazon Gold Box deals of the day is yet another Anker sale featuring various charging products: powerbanks, cables, car and wall and wireless chargers…

Gallery picture #2 over there has a diagram of the camera to help you get started with it. The rotating LCD display and the add-on lenses create the illusion of a mirrorless camera to those looking at it for the first time (eg moi) 🙂
