Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
The B&H Photo OPTIC West Conference is live in progress. IT is a two-day event. Day #1 has already taken place!
And of course, there are OPTIC Show Special Offers in-progress as well. Some of them require coupon code OPTICW22.
Each day has two live stages and you can live-stream and rewatch them in this YouTube Playlist.
Below you will find YouTube-embedded Day #1 of the Main Stage, nearly eight hours long!
If you like to get a …head start on your holiday shopping season, well, B&H has created a sale just for you, the …Holiday Head Start sale. Because Halloween is over and now the 2022 Black Friday and Holiday Shopping season is …inevitable 🙂
We join this in progress, Adorama is currently running a 48 Hour Flash Sale featuring products from all the major product categories they carry including photography, computers, gaming, lighting and studio gear, drones and binos, A/V and music, and such. Too many items to list here individually…
UPDATE: things are fairly quiet camera/photo-wise at this current iteration of the Adorama daily deals (until Thursday at 10am ET) so I’m appending them to this post instead of creating a brand new one:
+ Logitech G G PRO X Gaming Headset with Microphone for $90
+ IK Multimedia iRig Stream Solo Ultracompact 3×1 TRRS Audio Interface for Smartphones and Tablets for $30
+ DPVR E3 4K Gaming Combo with E3 4K VR Gaming Headset and NOLO Controller for $399
+ Lenovo D27-30 27″ 16:9 Full HD WLED VA Monitor with 3-side Near-Edgeless Design for $125
Adorama is currently running what they call their Biggest Clearance Sale of the year. As of the time of writing the sale features 4326 options! They are slightly too many to list here individually, so check for your brands and products and product types and systems of interest!
Adorama has launched their pre-Labor-Day Labor Day sale with a total of 1546 options available as part of this sale. The items you see are sorted by “Popular Results”, but you can filter them by many different ways using the options and filters at the aforelinked page…
For a limited time, the Monoprice website is having a Back to School sale with 15% off thanks to coupon code (wait for it) APLUS (that’s the grade 1% of the students get? mayhaps not a smart coupon code?). The usual terms, conditions, restrictions and exclusions apply.
Elsewhere in sales, the REI Outlet is having a “handpicked gear sale” running until 8/15/22 or earlier if sold out.
On the freebies front, if you are a member of the Lucky’s Rewards program (free to join), this weekend, you can score a FREE 16oz Sparkling ICE + Caffeine beverage in a recyclable tin. Select varieties, while supplies last…
If you are planning to make an Amazon Prime purchase by Wednesday 7/13/22 at 11:59pm pacific time, AND you are a Prime member (paying or free trial), you can easily earn a $10 Amazon store credit thanks to this StampCard promotion.
The four things you have to do to earn the $10 store credit are:
The only thing that costs money is the money you pay to make the Prime-eligible purcahse. The other three items are Prime Benefits. They are basically adding them to the Stampcard to encourage more Prime members to try out the other Prime benefits.
The aforelinked page has a progress bar showing you which ones of the steps you have completed.
PS: if you are not a Prime member, first start a 30-day free trial and then take the steps to earn the $10 store credit…
The big dayz are almost upon us! Prime Dayz officially start on Tuesday July 12 in 2022 at 12:01am pacific time and run for 48 hours until Wednesday July 13 at 11:59pm pacific time!
If you are already a Prime member, you can participate in all the offers.
If you are not a Prime member, you can still participate in the offers by starting a FREE 30-DAY TRIAL and be eligible for all the offers and Prime benefits during your free trial.
If you previously had a 30-day free trial, the Amazon AI computer system will decide if you are eligible for another one for your account. It will tell you so.
Alternately if you don’t want to prepay for a 1-year subscription, and you are not eligible for a 30-day free trial, you can start a month-to-month subscription and keep it only for as long as you need it, eg one month so you can participate in the Prime Deals or to watch the new half-a-billion Lord of the Rings TV show…
UPDATE: if you are a student at an eligible institution, you can get a FREE 6-month Prime Student trial, and then you can optionally stay one for a 50% off a prepaid 1-year Prime membership ($69 per year). You are also eligible for three Prime Student benefits, Showtime $1/month for a year, Amazon Music Unlimited for $1/month, and 6-months of free Linked In Premium…
Adorama is sale-a-brating National Camera Day with 416 offerings as of the time of writing. There are various camera kits in this bundle, including mirrorless, DSLR, fixed lens, a few medium format and a couple of instant cameras too.
Obviously too many to list here individually but you can use the filters over there by manufacturer and such…
To sale-a-brate the OPTIC 2022 trade-show, B&H Photo is also running in parallel OPTIC 2022 special offers with the usual assortment of camera and photo and electronics and such.
Too many to list here individually, but if time permits, I may highlight some of them offers later on…
Costco fans, unite and take-over! This offer is good for new Costco memberships, not for renewals. Yes, it’s the return of the Groupon – Costco deal. You pay $60, and for that you get:
Check the list of terms and conditions and restrictions before buying if you are not familiar with Costco or this offer.
Looking forward to y’all posting pictures of the 200-pack of socks you purchased 😉
Adorama is having another variant of their Clearance Sale with 2446 products participating as of the time of writing.
Prices start at $0.25 (one item) and then move on to $0.49 where there is a handful of lens-caps, body-caps, screen-protectors and such. You can see these when you sort by lowest price…
If you are a fan of the Monoprice website and house-branded products, they are having at the moment The Big Overstock sale featuring all kinds of cables for all occasions, along with various tech and audio and home/hobby products… So many cables, so little time!
You can make your own kind of coupon! When you visit the KEH Camera website, you may be offered a promotion to sign-up for their email newsletter, and as a reward for doing that, they will email you a coupon for 5% off.
There are some restrictions to the usage of the coupon per the window box over there:
“* Excludes New, Like New, and Leica. Promo code will be emailed”
The NAB 2022 show is happening and B&H Photo is having their customary NAB Show Specials…
More on this later on, on a time-permitting basis…
If you are a fan of NewEgg or looking for deals in general (with a technology focus), NewEgg has recently launched (or I just now found out about it LOL) a new page of offerings, Lowest Price in 30 Days. As the name suggests, these are products that currently have their lowest price in the last 30 days according to the NewEgg computers/humans/hybrids…
NOTE: as usual, when shopping at open websites like NewEgg, eBay, Amazon and the like, where multiple marketplace sellers are allowed to sell the same product, make sure you check who the actual seller of a product is, and for products where the manufacturer warranty matters, make sure they are an authorized dealer…
It’s been a while since I saw one of these, if you miss the retro-glamo(ur) excitement of a Woot-OFF, we have good news for you, running now until 10pm central time on 3/30/22 there is a Woot Sellout/Clearance Woot-OFF. Only this sub-Woot is having a Woot-OFF.
The other sub-Woots have their usual daily deals, including scratch and dent Samsung Galaxy smartphones ($100 to $950) under “Electronics” and a refurbished 17-inch 12GB RAM HP laptop for $439…
If you live in an area that has Amazon pickup points (self-service lockers, counters, etc), for the promotional period from 3/2/22 to 4/27/22, coupon code PICKUP10OFF gets you $10 off an order of $20+. The offer is good for products sold and shipped by Amazon itself. Fulfilled by Amazon and 3rd-party sellers are NOT eligible for this promotion.
Digital products are obviously not eligible, since you don’t pick them up at self-service lockers 🙂
The offer may be targeted (I have no way to knowing, it just showed it to me on an promotional banner while I was on their website). The offer has a limited number of redemptions. YMMV as always…
If you haven’t tried the self-service lockers, fear not, they work real well. I tried them inside 711s, Staples and Whole Foods without issue through the years…
The Staples website is offering until 12/23/21 coupon code HOLIDAYGIFTS20 that gets you $20 off an order of $50+. Terms, conditions, restrictions, etc apply as usual…
Running now until Tuesday 12/14/21 at 10pm central, Woot is running what they call the Last Woot-OFF of 2021. This is running at the “Sellout/Clearance” and at the “Shirts” sub-Woots. As usual, offers change every 30 minutes, or earlier if something sells out before its 30 minute window closes…
If you are an REI member (you only pay for membership once, not an annual subscription), until 12/15/21, coupon code OUTLETWARM gets you 20% off one REI Outlet item. Terms, conditions and details over there…
Cyber Monday is here and the CM offers have launched at B&H Photo and also at Adorama…
As time goes by, I will be digesting these and posting select offers (as per usual). In the meantime, if you are suffering from Deal Information Overload (DIO, no, not Ronny James), Adorama has your back, they have posted their Top 100 Cyber Monday deals…
Coupon code CYBERMONDAY2021 gets you 25% off RENTAL orders from Borrow Lenses that run for AT LEAST five days. Rental orders of $149+ get free standard shipping. You can use the coupon code for multiple orders during this promotion.
You must place the rental orders by 11/30/21 at 11:59pm pacific time. The actual rental orders can be scheduled for as late as January 31 in 2022. Yes, we have to prepare to be writing 2022 instead of 2021 🙂
BL offers no-cost cancellations up to a day before the rental ships.
If you like to purchase USED gear, coupon code BLACKFRIDAY2021 gets you 25% off purchases there at Borrow Lenses. As you can expect, most of these are used gear that was previously used in rentals. Coupon works until 12/8/21 at 11:59pm pacific or while supplies last…
Speaking of used camera gear, if you missed our earlier post, KEH Camera is offering 10% off and 365-day warranties on many (but not all) items they offer. Check the aforelinked post for all the details…
If you are drowning in Black Friday information overload, Adorama has your back. They have just now published their Top 100 deals for Black Friday 2021, so you can peruse without the risk of drowning in a sea within a sea of deals 🙂
NewEgg is in the game too, they have launched their Black Friday specials as well. As usual you can filter them by various product categories and sub-categories on their website… Time-permitting I will digest these later on…
Black Friday has also arrived at the Best Buy website which includes a dedicated “Apple Shopping Event”… Bubbles with the various product categories are shown, and yes, there is one for Cameras and such…
Black Friday has arrived at KEH Camera with a 10% off coupon code BF21A that covers many items sold on their website EXCEPT:
+ EXCLUDED items below:
+ NEW condition
+ USED Like New
+ USED Like New Minus
+ Leica-branded products
+ EXCLUDED items above
OR you can easily test their coupon in their shopping cart and see whether it works or not…
The offer expires on Cyber Monday 11/29/21 at 11:59pm ET…
Another benefit of KEH Camera during the holiday shopping season: typical 180-day warranty is automagically upgraded to a 365-day warranty on items purchased until 12/31/21. There’s no action/coupon needed for this, it happens automagically based on the purchase date…
The warranty extension offer is only for items that were previously eligible for the 180-day warranty. For example products in the “AS IS” condition are not eligible for any warranty…
When you consider the price of a warranty for used items, and combined with the 10% off coupon, this can get you a good deal.
