I never got around to posting an in-stock alert for the new Panasonic FZ300 superzoom (a RAWzoomer since it takes RAW), so here it is! The camera is in-stock and ready to ship at its starting price of $600 at Amazon (Amazon itself, and 3rd-party sellers) and Adorama and B&H Photo. You can optionally triple the warranty via mail-in rebate.
PS: why not just offer a three year warranty to all buyers or at least make the rebate an online submission? Staples has been using online (Easy Rebates) for many years now, and they work very well.
B&H Photo is offering a free Panasonic HX-A1 Wearable HD Action Cam (choice of Orange or Black color scheme) with the purchase of the GSM unlocked Panasonic DMC-CM1 Android CameraPhone at its regular price of $1000. You can optionally extend the warranty to three years via a Panasonic mail-in rebate. You can select the free action camera color by clicking on the “Your choice from free items” link there. Annotated screenshot crop of that right below:

Adorama is bundling a free Audio Technica mic with the purchase of one of these 17 cameras. Fourteen of them are Canon DSLRs and Sony full frame mirrorless cameras, along with two Fuji X100T kits and the Panasonic GH4 body only. Some of the cameras come with additional free accessories, while others are eligible for promotional rewards.
No coupon and no rebate needed. While this promotion is running (you will see it mentioned on the individual camera product pages), Adorama will include the free Audio Technica mic (and other eligible freebies) automatically.
Not to be confused with the entry level Panasonic TS30 (still going for $100), the Panasonic TS6 is a higher spec model (tip: single-digit is the more advanced model in the TS-series) is bundled with a $50 Adorama gift certificate for $278 total with free expedited shipping. That’s an effective $228 price assuming you will have no problem spending the $50 GC. If not, you can buy the camera on its own for $240.
You can see all the aforementioned TS6 bundles and colors at Adorama website.
Zoom-zoom! The Panasonic FZ200 superzoom (okay, a RAWzoomer since you have RAW) is bundled with a $100 Adorama Gift Certificate and a 16GB Toshiba SD card, all together for $400 with free shipping at Adorama. Offer ends 9/8/15.
Frolic in the elements? The Panasonic TS30 waterproof digital camera is currently on sale for $99 with free expedited shipping at Adorama as part of their Labor Day festivities.

Costco time! 100 pairs of socks? Check! 200 rolls of toilet paper? Check! 420 chocolate brownies? Check! How about the Panasonic GF7 two lens kit (12-32, 35-100, 32GB SD, case) for $500 with free shipping for Costco members or $525 for non-members (non-members can shop there but pay a 5% surcharge). Membership is $55/year, so it’s a trade-off to consider considering.
PS: as of the time of writing, their website has 25 digital cameras. Note that the Sony cameras are marked as “MEMBERS ONLY”, so only members can purchase those.
