Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
The Canon Elph 360 HS goes for $200 in new condition at authorized dealers (eg Amazon) but if you want to save some and still get a 1-year warranty, you can get it for $130 with free shipping at as manufacturer refurbished for $130 in silver, purple, or black.
PS: I am trying as much as I can to keep most blog-post titles one line long. That’s why I’m abbreviating year as “YR” and warranty as “W”. Not Watt 🙂
Canon abandoned their once storied G-series of RAWsumers, but thankfully the grown-ups prevailed and the G-series was brought back bigger and stronger! The new flagship of the G-series is the G1X III with an APS-C sensor, and it is now in-stock and ready to ship at its starting price of $1300 at B&H Photo with free expedited shipping!
B&H Photo is out of the gate first, Amazon’s estimate is November 30, and Adorama is in pre-order status.
OR for the price of $1300, you can instead buy five manufacturer refurbished Canon G9X rawsumers ($250 each), and still have money left for a nice dinner 🙂
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 🙂
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.
CORRECTION: the blog-post title said Mark IV instead of Mark V! This post is for the Mark V! All apologies for the confusion!
The Sony RX100 Mark V is the current “leader” of the RX 100 series and it was going for $1000 a couple of weeks ago when I posted the Fixed Lens Cameras Price Charts.
Fast forward to today, and its price dropped to $950 and it is getting a $50 house gift card along with free accessories as follows:
+ At B&H Photo you get a $50 B&H e-gift card, a 32GB Sandisk Extreme SD, and a case
+ At Adorama you get a $50 gift certificate (it is #6 in the list of freebies in the linked page), along with a 32GB Lexar SD, Corel software, Lowepro pouch, and a cleaning kit
+ At Amazon [CORRECTED LINK] you get a $50 physical Amazon gift card in a classically styled black gift card box
+ this happens rarely at Amazon, but if the gift card arrives before the camera ships, you can use the value of the gift card towards the price of the camera. Billing Inception 🙂
Here we go, we start rounding up the Sunday manufacturer instant savings discounting with Ricoh fixed lens cameras! A trio of models went on sale as follows:
+ Ricoh WG-30W elementproof for $180 with free shipping at Adorama in Orange or Black
+ Ricoh Theta S 360 Degree Spherical Panorama Camera for $237 at Adorama with $9~ promotional rewards free hard case included
+ Ricoh Theta V 360 Degree Spherical Panorama Camera with Selfie Stick for $400 at Adorama
And now it is time for our weekly medium format post 🙂 The new condition Fuji GFX-50S medium format body only goes for $6500 but if you want a “take pictures with” kit, thanks to Fuji’s current round of instant savings, you can get it with the GF 63mm f2.8 together for $7000 at Amazon by Amazon itself.
Amazon appears to have “solved” their combined purchase discount problem of the old days where you had to manually add things to cart and such. Now they are pre-creating listings with the eligible items. Screenshot example below:
The Fujifilm Instax Mini 26 with the Rainbow Film Bundle is on sale for $55 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit up of to three per customer. This is available in the White and White/Blue color schemes. It averages 4.5 out of 5 based on 420+ customer reviews and has 50+ answered questions.
The middle two models of the four Sony RX10 series cameras have dropped $100 since last week when we posted the Fixed Lens Camera Charts last week as follows:
+ RX10 II for $1100 at Adorama (with freebies) and B&H Photo (with freebies) and Amazon
+ RX10 III for $1300 at Adorama (with freebies) and B&H Photo (with freebies) and Amazon
We have yet another Panasonic camera that got discounted since last week. The Panasonic ZS100 superzom went for $700 last week when I posted the Fixed Lens Cameras price chart but now it is down t o $598 at authorized dealers which also include free accessories or promotional rewards such as Adorama and B&H Photo and various at Amazon.
The Sony RX1 and RX1R 35mm full frame fixed lens cameras are starting to disappear from retailers. Both are gone from Adorama (RX1R and RX1R), while at B&H Photo both cameras are marked as “Special Order” (2-4 weeks) for both the RX1 and the RX1R.
As of the time of writing, both the RX1 and the RX1R remain readily available at Amazon but each camera has a limit of up to three per customer. The price remains at $2400 as you can see at the Fixed Lens Cameras charts of last week.
Of course the used cameras won’t magically disappear. You can get it used for less than half the price, it is available in “USED – Bargain” condition for $1199 at KEH Camera with a 180-day warranty from KEH Camera.
As of a 11/16/17 AM recheck, this is sold out and is no longer available for purchase (discontinued type of a listing)…
Pastel colors time! The new condition Fujifilm instax mini 8 Instant Film Camera is on sale for $49 with free shipping at B&H Photo in three of the five colors (blue, grape, raspberry)…

The Sigma dp1 Quattro Digital Camera on its own goes for $1000, but at the moment B&H Photo is including the LVF-01 Viewfinder Kit for FREE, in other words, you pay the same price of $999. Note that these are “Special Orders” so it will take 7-14 business days for them to get to you.
The Panasonic FZ2500 superzoom with RAW goes for $1200 in new condition at authorized dealers, but for a limited time, B&H Photo and Adorama are bundling a $100 gift card of their own with the camera. In other words, if you buy from B&H, you get a $100 B&H gift card. If you buy from Adorama, you get a $100 Adorama gift card.
Optionally you can triple the original 1-year warranty by filing with Panasonic. Details at each retailer above.
The price checking continues for RAWsumer cameras. The new condition Fuji X70 goes for $700 at authorized dealers, but if you are comfortable with used, you can get it in “Used – Excellent condition” for $499 plus shipping and with a 90-day Adorama warranty at Adorama along with a 30-day return policy.

+ the black color is available at B&H Photo for $1050 in “USED – Condition 9”

The Canon G5X RAWsumer goes for $729 in new condition at authorized dealers such as Amazon and Adorama, but if you are not afraid of mail-in rebates, you can actually get it for a LOWER price after mail-in rebate!
At B&H Photo they are bundling the Canon G5 X with the PIXMA PRO 100 printer and 50pk Canon SG-201 printer. You pay $999 at checkout, receive the order, submit the mail-in rebate, and if all is well, a few weeks later you receive a $350 prepaid American Express gift card by mail, making it a $650 after $350 MIR.
So you pay $79 less, and you get a free printer and photo paper. As long as you are willing to do the mail-in rebate song and dance.
For $29 more (after mail-in rebate) than their current price, the following Canon G-series RAWsumers can be yours bundled with the Pixma PRO 100 printer and 50pk Canon SG-201 photo paper at B&H Photo. You pay full price, submit the mail-in rebate, receive a $350 prepaid AMEX gift card, and after you factor in the value of the AMEX gift card, you end up paying $29 more for the Printer and Paper combo.
+ Canon G1 X II for $679 after $350 MIR [goes for $650 on its own]

Price checking is under way now for the final installment in our November 2017 Camera Price Charts series. We are now price-checking Serious Fixed Lens Cameras with RAW!
The Canon G9X compact with RAW goes for $399 in new condition at authorized Canon dealers. But if you also want to get the Pixma PRO 100 printer and don’t object to mail-in rebates and prepaid AMEX gift cards…
… then to B&H Photo we go where you can get either the black or brown color scheme of the G9X along with the Pixma PRO 100 printer and the 50pk Canon SG-201 printer for $399 plus shipping (around $10) after a $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX gift card). You also get 2% promotional rewards (I believe that’s on the pre-rebate amount, so it’s 2% on either $750 or $400).
This promotion expired, but it is recurring every few weeks or so…
Fixed lens basic P&S cameras have not completely disappeared! They sometimes go on sale even! Such as the new condition Nikon Coolpix A10 (5x optical) is on sale for $87 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself. Limit up to three units per customer at the sale price.
Ironically perhaps, instant cameras are not afraid of smartphones replacing them. Which brings us to another sale. The new condition Fujifilm Instax Mini 26 with a Rainbow Film included (10 exposures) is on sale for $55 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself. There are four colors of this camera available. Limit up to three units per color per customer.

Superzooms and waterproof fixed lens digital cameras are surviving the smartphone Zombie Apocalypse because they are offering something a typical smartphone cannot.
