Samsung Gear 360 VR camera for $226

The new condition USA warranty version of the Samsung Gear 360 VR camera is currently on sale for $226 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself. Limit up to three units per customer. This price is for Prime-members only at this point in time.

PS: I turned in-browser spell-checking back on again, so random misspellings should be cut down. I turned it off because the browser spell-checking can get jumpy spell-checking the long lightning deals posts (which are full of non-words, such as “href”). On the other hand, the two keyboard approach (mechanical in front for most of the text typing; and the previously mentioned Logitech G105 for macros, keypad, and night light) appears to have significantly improved the typing/writing aspects of doing this 🙂 The danger of this is falling into the mechanical keyboard addiction ~ I suppose I could start a mechanical keyboard blog if that happens 🙂

PS: all fixed-lens cameras that are not camera-cameras are now under the Other Cameras category (action cameras, smartphones, VR cameras, 360 cameras, drones, etc).

Pre-order new Samsung Chromebook Plus for $450

If you live at the intersection of ChromeOS, Google Play and like to use a digitizer pen for your photography (and other hand-input) needs, Samsung’s new “ChromeDroid” Chromebooks have been unleashed at CES 2017, and right now you can pre-order the Samsung Chromebook Plus (model XE513C24-K01US) for $450 at Amazon by Amazon itself. The release estimate is mid-February 2017.

This has some pretty good specs (considering it is not running Windows), 12.3-inch, 2400 x 1600 resolution, 4GB RAM, 360-degree hinge, digitizer pen included, two USB-C ports, microSD slot, and such. I would have liked to see more RAM and full SD and USB slots but I suppose there’s only so many things they can stuff in a thinner device and a $450 price.

The $450 model is using an ARM processor. The “Pro” model will use an Intel Core m3 processor but details on that will come in the future.

In-Stock Alert: Samsung’s Dalek ArtPC Pulse Desktop computers

It’s the attack of the Samsung Daleks! Their brand new cylindrical PCs that are also omni-directional speakers are now in-stock and ready to ship at Amazon by Amazon itself. There are two preset configurations, the i5 model (8GB, 256GB SSD, Radeon RX460) goes for $1200, while the i7 model (16GB, 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD, Radeon RX460) goes for $1600. From a distance, the various input ports on the side look like a built-in remote control 🙂 Some may point out that Apple had a cylindrical PC, so Samsung was compelled to do so as well 🙂

128GB Samsung BAR USB 3.0 Flash Drive for $30

If you like your USB flash drives to have metal casing and a keyring (because Samsung), the 128GB Samsung BAR USB 3.0 Flash Drive, model MUF-128BA/AM, is on sale for $30 at Amazon by Amazon itself (limit three per customer; usual S&H terms) and Beach Camera on eBay (no limits) and NewEgg Business (no limits)… The 64GB goes for $18…

On the other hand, if you prefer the really small USB flash drives that you can attach to a laptop or other devices and they won’t stick out like a sore thumb, the 128GB Samsung Fit USB 3.0 Flash drive (model MUF-128BB/AM) is on sale for $28.50 at Amazon by Amazon itself (limit three) and Adorama and B&H Photo and NewEgg.

128GB Samsung USB 3.0 Flash Drive Fit for $36.50

Sometimes Samsung forgets to turn off the copy machine during product design that they end up copying the name too. Case in point, Sandisk calls their tiny USB flash drives Ultra Fit, so Samsung felt compelled to calls their “Fit” too 🙂

Joking aside, there is a sale, the 128GB Samsung USB 3.0 Flash Drive Fit, model MUF-128BB/AM, with Water proof, Shock proof, magnet proof, temp proof, and X-ray proofness and a 5-year warranty is on sale for $36.50 at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of three per customer (usual shipping terms), along with NewEgg (limit 20; free S&H) and if they run out, it goes for $29 with free shipping at Adorama.

These can be really handy when you don’t want the flash drives to protrude, eg laptops, front of desktops, media players, phone/tablet USB-OTG connections, etc. On the other hand, these are easier to lose because of their size 🙂

64GB Samsung or Sandisk USB 3.0 Flash Drive Fit for $18 each [updated]

If you are looking for tiny USB 3.0 flash drives, the 64GB Samsung USB 3.0 Flash Drive Fit, model MUF-64BB/AM, is currently on sale for $18 at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of 30 per customer. This is not a lightning. These are small enough they can be handy for laptops without increasing the “air space” a laptop occupies. They are the usual “proof” (Water proof, Shock proof, magnet proof, temp proof, and X-ray proof) with a five year warranty. Currently the 64GB version “defeats” the other two options in its own line.

UPDATE: it looks like we have an inter-company price-match because the 64GB version of Sandisk’s own line-up is also on sale for $18. In-fact Sandisk has two options, the Newest Version and the Previous Version.

64GB Samsung EVO element-proof microSDXC w/adapter for $18 (limit 3)

If you have some of the newer smaller cameras that take microSD cards or use other non-camera cameras (smartphones, action cams, etc), and like the idea of element-proofness in memory cards (Water proof, Temperature Proof, X-Ray proof, Magnetic proof), the 64GB Samsung EVO Class 10 Micro SDXC Card with full size SD Adapter (up to 48/MB/s, model MB-MP64DA/AM) is on sale again for $18~ with a limit of three per customer at Amazon by Amazon itself. A marketplace seller (fulfilled by Amazon) has it for $0.55 less for the more adventurous shoppers. This currently “defeats” all the other options in its own line-up (16GB to 128GB). Note that the prices of this change very often, probably a combination of market-driven price-changes, price-matches, and things like that.

Free shipping if you are a Prime member, or with a order of $49+. Or if your order contains $25+ in books. More details on Amazon’s new free super saver shipping terms.

UPDATE: while we are talking microSDXC cards, the 128GB PNY microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1, model P-SDUX128U160G-GE, is on sale for $35 at B&H Photo (no limits) and Amazon itself (limit 3). Neither has unconditional free shipping. B&H has free shipping with a $49+ order, Amazon with a $49+ order (or if you have $25+ in Books OR if you are a Prime member). Maybe I need to create a free shipping flowchart graphic 🙂 [actually this sounds like a good idea!]

Samsung NX1 with 16-50mm f2-2.8 S OIS & Battery Grip & Extra Battery & Audio Technica Camera-Mount Mic for $2200

The Samsung NX system did not hitch a meteoric ride on the popularity of the Galaxy phones, but on the other hand, it’s still around, which may have been the “tide lifts all boats” impact of the Galaxy phones. Regardless, the current Samsung NX1 body only goes for $1100 at authorized dealers with some offering 4% promotional rewards ($44~) such as B&H Photo and others while retaining the same $1100 price offer a free Audio-Technica AT8024 mic (Adorama; the mic goes for $250 on its own).

On the other hand, if one is looking for a “serious kit”, the NX1 is bundled with the 16-50mm f2-2.8 S ED OIS lens for $2200 with 4% promotional rewards ($88~) at B&H Photo.

But if you want a better bang for the buck power-user deal, at Adorama you still pay $2200 for the NX1 with 16-50mm f2-2.8 S OIS but instead of the 4% promotional rewards, you get the Samsung ED-VGNX01 Vertical Battery Grip, an additional Samsung battery, and the Audio-Technica AT8024 camera-mount mic. So that’s three additional items instead of $88~ to be used in future purchases.

64GB Samsung EVO+ SDXC for $19+ (32GB for $11+)

Samsung has yet another memory card line, the EVO+. These are element-proof just like the EVO line, but prioritize Read Speed (up to 80MB/s) over Write speed (up to 20MB/sec). On the other hand, the EVO cards can go up to 48MB/sec (Read or Write). The sale prices depend on how many you want to buy.

On the 64GB front, if you only want one, you can get it for $22 with free shipping at B&H Photo. If you want exactly two, you can get them for $20 with free shipping at Adorama, or if you want three or more, you can get them for $19 each with free S&H at Adorama.

On the 32GB front, if you only want one, you can get it for $12 with free shipping by Adorama on Amazon and B&H Photo. If you buy three or more, you can get them for $11 with free shipping at Adorama.

The Volume Discounts at Adorama are automatically applied based on the quantity in your shopping cart. If you are not familiar with the Adorama website, this is how you can tell if an item is eligible for Volume Discounts (annotated screenshot crop right below):

volume_discounts

If you are not interested in the red EVO+, the orange EVOs are on similar prices, but without the volume discounts: the 32GB for $12, and the 64GB for $23.
