Monday: NewEgg launches “Prime Day” deals too

Not wanting to miss the party, NewEgg has just launched totally not Prime Day Monday deals that are good until 11:59pm pacific on Monday 7/15/19. Some of the offers require a promo code (it is shown next to the item) and in order to use that, you must needs be a member of the NewEgg email list. This is a bit of a moot point because you usually give them your email address when you are about to buy something ~ but what do I know ~ marketing works in mysterious ways 🙂

The sale includes the usual assortment of technology (the official theme of the sale is “Fantastic Tech”). Of camera and photo interest:

+ DJI Spark Mini Quadcopter Drone Fly More Combo (Alpine White) for $460
+ Intel i9-9900 KF Coffee Lake 8-core 16-thread for $440 after promo code

Totally not like the Amazon Gold Box, more offers wil unlock at NewEgg throughout the day so stay tuned if you are of the Nuevo Huevo persuasion…

Today’s update of the Stock Status Tracker has an interesting development! The Nikon D850 is available for purchase in USED condition for $3150 or NEW condition for $3300 at KEH Camera. I don’t remember my KEH password, so I don’t know what the shipping estimate is for these two options…

KEH offers a 180-day warranty on used products in condition EX or better, so that’s half of a manufacturer warranty, so factor that in the price. The particular one offered at KEH is “LN -” condition (Like New Minus) and comes with a battery and charger.

PS: if you prefer imported grey-market in new condition, you can get it for $3050 by 6ave’s eBay store

Stock Update: D850/a7 III hard to find; G9, X-H1, K-1 II retired

Today’s update of the Stock Status Tracker has status quo fro the Sony a7 III kits and the Nikon D850 body only, they continue to be hard to find in-stock at their normal price at authorized dealers. But if you want the D850 filmmaker’s kit, there is one unit available for $5500 by Kenmore on eBAY.

Meanwhile the Pentax K-1 II, Fuji X-H1 and Panasonic G9 had been steadily in-stock and at the same prices, so I “retired” them from the Stock tracker. However, I save all the “retired” entries, so in case something changes in the future and they need to be brought back, they can be brought back in a flash.

In-Stock Again: Nikon D850 Filmmaker’s Kit for $5500 [one unit]

Sony a7 III estimate “improves” to 2-5 weeks

The silver lining good news of today’s update of the Stock Status Tracker is that the Amazon estimates for both the sony a7 III body only and the a7 III w/28-70 have “improved” from “1 to 2 months” to “2 to 5 weeks”. This is still a nebulous estimate, so keep that in mind if you need the camera by a specific date.

FREE Overnight Shipping for Pentax K-1 II

Today’s update of the Stock Status Tracker has more good news for Pentax K-1 II fans! Adorama is offering FREE Overnight Shipping at the same price of $2000 for both the K-1 II Body Only and also the K-1 II with 28-105 for $2400…

As of the time of writing, both kits are in-stock and shipping: the K-1 II body only goes for $2000 with free shipping while the K-1 II with 28-105 goes for $2400 with free shipping.

Bad news however for the a7 III with 28-70 FE, it is now out of stock, just like the body only…

Stock Updates: FREE Grip w/Pana G9, K1-II, a7 III Coming Up

Today’s Stock Status Update has more places offering the Panasonic G9 body only getting the Panasonic DMW-BGG9 Vertical Battery Grip for FREE, at the same price of $1700 with free shipping at Amazon itself and Adorama and B&H Photo

Stock Updates: FREE Overnight on Sony a7 III Pre-Orders; Etc

An early bird update of the Stock Status Tracker has two new developments since our last mention:

+ Sony a7 III body pre-orders for the standard price of $2000 at Adorama get FREE Overnight shipping (when the camera is in-stock; obviously they can’t ship it before it becomes available, so if you order today, you won’t get the camera tomorrow; but when it comes in-stock, it will ship with free overnight shipping)

+ B&H Photo too is now offering a FREE Fuji-Domke F-803 camera bag with Fuji X-H1 purchases for $1900, just like Adorama
+ no free bags at Amazon – Bezos is hoarding them so he can fuel his rockets with them 🙂

Stock Updates: Sony a7 III added to Tracker; G9/D850 outages; X-H1 everywhere

We have just updated the Stock Status Tracker with the following developments as of the time of writing:

+ I added the Sony a7 III to the tracker. Its release estimate is April 10, but estimates are estimates

+ the Panasonic G9 is sold out, new and used, Amazon is not even accepting pre-orders at the moment

+ the Nikon D850 importers have gone drunk with their prices skyrocketing well above $3300

+ the Pentax K-1 II estimate remains April 11, still offering a free battery grip with preorders

+ the Fuji X-H1 is now in-stock at all tracked retailers including Adorama (with FREE Domke-Fuji F803 bag) and B&H Photo and Amazon itself and Kenmore (eBay)

Pentax K-1 II added to the Stock Status Tracker

Today is the most productive day of 2018 so far blog-wise it seems. I just added the brand new Pentax K-1 II full frame DSLR to the Stock Status Tracker. And since our pre-order post, we have another development, now B&H Photo too is offering a free Pentax D-BG6 battery grip with pre-orders.

I also did some remodeling in the sidebars and menus of both this blog and the Main blog, mainly to add the new Cameras and Lenses of 2018 tracking page, along with the brand new (in progress) Price Charts series.

Stock Tracker Update: Added X-H1, Removed X100S, a7r III; [G9 out of stock, D850 imported skyrockets]

I just updated the Stock Status Tracker and we have two sets of news.

On the meta front, the Fuji X-H1 has been added to the Tracker [already has a deal, free Domke F-803 camera bag with pre-order for the same price of $1900 at Adorama], while the Fuji X100S and the Sony a7r III have been removed as they had been steadily in-stock and had stable new and used prices. But fear not, the entries are saved, so if they happen to run out, I can quickly add them back on…

On the actual stock updates front, the Panasonic G9 is now out of stock (despite the multiple new camera announcements from Panasonica), while the imported Nikon D850 prices skyrocketed from $3230 to $3800.

If there are any upcoming cameras and lenses you’d like to see us keep track off, please leave a comment or use the online contact form. Your feedback helps determine which cameras and lenses are covered!

Stock Updates: Used Sony a7r III for $2958, Used Fuji X100F for $1050, Panasonic G9 starting to run out

I just updated the Stock Status Tracker and the new developments since our previous update are the following:

+ USED Sony a7r III body for $2958 by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself

+ USED Fuji X100F black for $1050 in Condition 9 at B&H Photo
+ when their used options sell out, the used listing will automatically redirect to the new condition listing

+ Panasonic G9 supplies starting to run out but it remains in-stock for $1700 by BuyDiG on EBAY and by 3rd Party Sellers through Amazon

Imported Nikon D850 Body with 1-Year Seller Warranty for $3280

Another day, another update of the Stock Status Tracker and we have some action on the Nikon D850 body only. The camera is offered in new condition, imported grey-market with a 1-year seller warranty for $2280 with free shipping by eBay seller Deals All Year (99.8%, New Jersey, up to three per customer).

The new condition price at authorized Nikon USA dealers is $3300.

Stock Updates: Panasonic G9, Sony a7r III, Fuji X100f

I did not check earlier in the day to see what happened, but as of this update, the Panasonic G9 is marked as “temporarily out of stock” at Amazon (aka TOOS), an all-encompassing anything that could mean anything. Meanwhile at B&H Photo it is “Coming Soon”. Both previously had a January 15 estimate.

On the Sony a7r III front, the camera is back in-stock at Adorama, while B&H and Amazon itself continue to be out of stock. However a variety of authorized dealers also have it in-stock through eBay and thru Amazon.

The Nikon D850 remains elusive, but at least you can get official Japanese brochure/booklet for $13 shipped 🙂

The Amazon discount is over for the X100F silver, but you can still get a $100 gift card from Focus. Check the X100F segment of the Stock Status Tracker for those.

PSA: resist the temptation of Nikon D850 listings by random “Just Launched” sellers!

I just updated the Stock Status Tracker and the situation remains. The Sony a7r III is in-stock at multiple authorized dealers, while the Nikon D850 remains elusive.

The pull for the hard to find Nikon D850 may be strong but resist the temptation to do something very risky/stupid, like buying the camera from random “Just Launched” sellers that offer it on Amazon. Nothing good will come out of such a purchase for you. Resist the temptation! Unfortunately these keep popping up faster than Amazon can take them down.

Sony a7r III body now in-stock by Amazon itself too

Happy New Year with a Stock Status Tracker update!

The Nikon D850 body only remains elusive, but the Sony a7r III body is available at even more places, now you can get it from Amazon by Amazon itself for $3200, especially of interest if you have Amazon gift cards or paying with a credit card that gets you 5% uncapped credit card rewards on Amazon purchases.

Or if you prefer blazing fast delivery, Adorama continues to offer free overnight delivery, but B&H no longer does.
