Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
Just like yesterday, we start Day #2 of Prime Day 2019 with the … B&H Photo daily deals running until 11:59pm ET (or earlier if sold out):
+ COREL VideoStudio Ultimate 2019 (Box) for $40
+ AXLER Hammerhead Pro Follow Focus for $199
+ Samson AirLine 77 Fitness Head Worn Wireless Microphone System (Frequency K1: 489.500 MHz) for $180
+ OPTOMA EH500 Data Series DLP 3D Projector for $829
The Prime Festivities continue with more …prime lens action, this time they are offering the new condition Rokinon 135mm f2 ED UMC teleprime for $340~ in the Fuji X system and $369~ in the Sony A and Sony E systems. As of 3:42pm ET, the Fuji X is 20% claimed and the Sony E is 28% claimed… The lightning deal is scheduled to end at 6:50pm ET… This too is for Prime members only…
UPDATE: non-Amazon and non-Prime readers are getting bombarded with Prime-only deals, so to sooth the pain, I am re-prioritizing this two-day KEH Camera prime lens coupon that is good for all shoppers, not just Prime members 🙂
KEH Camera is jumping on the “Prime Day” party with a “Prime” deal of its own. You know where this is heading right? SPOILERS in the next paragraph if you want to guess before I spoil it 😉
Good until Tuesday 7/16/19 at 11:59pm eastern time, coupon code LNS7A gets you the following discounts:
+ 20% off on the Featured Prime Lenses
+ 10% off on most other Lenses at KEH Camera
+ as usual, restrictions and exclusions apply
We couldn’t possibly go through Prime Day without having a “Bag the Bags” type of a post… And as fate would have it, around this time, there’s a handful of Nanuk and Pelican camera cases making the rounds in the Lightning Deals. You can find them by perusing the 70-odd offerings that are currently available in the Camera and Photo category…
Or if you want to cast a wider net, there are over 600 offerings in the Electronics category, of which “Camera and Photo” is typically a subset. Typically because I can’t really test every single listing, so I can’t say with 100% certainty 🙂
And speaking of Prime Day deals, here’s a bundle of potential interest for Googloid fans, the 12.3″ Pixel Slate bundle consists of the Slate (12.3″, 2-in-1, Core m3, 8GB RAM, 64GB storage) bundled with the Pixel Slate keyboard, all together for $700 for Prime members…
Good until 3:05pm ET (or earlier if sold out) there is a Prime Day lightning deal on select Fotodiox lens mount adapters for various older camera systems. In addition to the Prime Day discount, some of them have a green clip-on coupon for 20% off that you see on the product page. I don’t know if the coupon discount is compatible with the Gold Box discount.
The 20% off clip-on coupon is for everyone, so you can get some discount even if you are not a Prime member…
Good until 2:45pm ET (or earlier if sold out), Prime Members can get the new condition GoPRO HERO5 Black in e-commerce packaging for $150 with free shipping. As of the time of writing, it is 18% claimed…
Some of the other day-long Prime Day 2019 sales that I have yet to mention:
+ new condition 10.5″ iPad PRO with Cellular (previous generation) for $629 to $699 (storage varies from 256GB to 512GB; some colors cost more than others)
+ AiO, Tablets & Laptop sale, 27 options from Acer, Samsung, HP, ASUS, Dell, LG, Lenova, etc
+ Computer Gaming sale with computers and monitors with over 40 options from ASUS, MSI, Razer, Acer, CyberPower, Dell, iBuyPOWER, Corsair and more
+ Chromebook sale with 15 options from Acer, ASUS, Samsung, HP and Lenova with prices ranging from $145 to $600; with the Web bloating and ChromeOS adding features and OS bloat, it is a good idea to go for 4GB RAM, not 2GB RAM for Chromebooks ~ unless the usage plan is strictly uni-tasking with hunt-and-peck typing
Earlier today, I posted Part #1 of the Amazon Germany Prime Day round-up. In this post, we have Part II, more interesting things in the Prime Day Gold Box that I had not previously posted:
+ Canon RP body with 35mm f1.8 RF Macro IS STM lens and Adapter for 1670 euro
+ Canon RP body for 1250, with 24-105/4L IS RF and adapter for 2095
+ Canon 80D body for 730 euro
+ Canon EOS 250D with kit lens in white for 569
+ Canon 6D with 24-105 IS STM for 1670
+ Canon M50 w/kit lens for 525, two lens kit (macro, not 2nd zoom) for 629
+ LOTS of Canon lenses, too many to list here individually (eleven of them)
+ Canon G7X II for 450, G9X II for 300 to 325 euro
+ some video camcorders too
Good until 7pm ET on Monday or earlier if sold out, also part of the Prime Day 2019 party, you can pay $40 and get a $50 iTunes gift card. This is a plastic gift card delivered by mail. It is 15% claimed as of 8:44am ET. Of interest especially if you like to buy camera and photography apps in the App Store, rent/buy photography-related docs/videos/movies and e-books and such. And of course anything else you want from iTunes.
This too is restricted to Prime members. But if you want to jump in, you can start a 30-day FRee Prime trial and jump in as many deals as you want right away…
I’ve lost track on who owns the Polaroid brand these days but they have a trio camera + film bundles on sale as part of the Prime Day festivities:
+ OneStep 2 VF Summer Blue w/ 600 Two Pack Film Set (1 Color + 1 B&W) for $98~
+ OneStep+ White w/Black & White Film for I-Type for $107~
+ OneStep+ White w/ 600 Two Pack Film Set (1 Color + 1 B&W) for $111
Also restricted to Prime members, a 10% off discount drops the price of this 120pk Fuji Instax Mini value pack from $79 to around $71.
Also during Prime Day, you may see offers in your shopping cart to get an Amazon Chase VISA credit card and/or an Amazon Store credit card. The latest offer I’ve seen is a $60 off instant discount towards your purchase when you apply and approved for the Amazon Store credit card…
Also one of the Lightning Deals of the Prime Day festivities is another new condition …prime lens. It is the Rokinon 8mm F2.8 UMC Fisheye II offered for $208~ for Prime members only in your choice of Fuji X, Canon EF-M and Sony E (APS-C). They are between 11% and 18% claimed as of 8:25am ET. The sale ends 12:35pm ET or earlier for any options that manage to sell out ahead of its designated expiration…
Prime members, grab your e-wallets. Or more specifically your Amazon e-wallets because you have until 1:30pm ET today (or earlier if sold out) to decide whether you want to buy the new condition Rokinon 35mm f1.4 Auto Focus FE lens for the Sony E-system for $441~ with free shipping. This price is for Prime members only. It is 9% claimed as of 8:22am ET so it’s unlikely to sell out…
All aboard the Prime Day express! Best Buy has launched its own Not-So-Prime-Day deals and among the many options they have:
+ DJI Ronin-S essentials for $499, Gimbal for DSLR/mirrornyet for $650
+ National Geographic camera bags
+ various other camera-related accessories
+ DJI Osmo Pocket 4k for $320
+ DJI Osmo action camera for $320
+ Ryze and DJI drones
+ Canon D-Rebel T7i two lens kit with extras for $800
+ Polaroid Originals instant-print cameras
+ Sandisk storage, etc
IF you prefer to shop for these on Amazon, a number of them, where possible, they are usually price-matched, so price-check them on Amazon if you prefer…
The Marathon is far from over, but I will be taking a couple of hours for a sanity break and then into the madness we geaux once again 🙂
B&H Photo has also launched their own Not-Prime Day sale, and among them they have a prime lens, the new condition Rokinon AF 24mm f/2.8 FE going for $269 with free shipping. This is an Auto Focus lens for the Sony E system. This is a limited time and limited quantity sale that ends Tuesday night OR earlier if the allocated sale units are depleted…
It’s an interchangeable lens camera offered in the Prime Day deals of 2019! It is the new condition Fuji X-H1 body only going for around $1200 by a trio of recognizable camera sellers through amazon.com: Green Mountain Camera, and The Pixel Collection and Green’s Camera World. These ship directly from the sellers but get Prime-like free shipping [they are not however “fulfilled by Amazon” ~ it is a lesser known Prime Benefit).
If you don’t feel like diving into the big Amazon Gold Box, this is a pre-filtered link that shows most of the day-long Camera & Photo Prime Day deals. Of instant camera and instant print action interest they have in-cart discounts for Prime members only. The price you see for these offers is what everyone pays. When you are logged on with a Prime account and add it to the shopping cart, the price will drop in the shopping cart. As usual, it has to be the correct seller (Amazon itself or designated 3rd-party seller)…
+ Fujifilm Instax Mini 26 + Rainbow Film Bundle for $51 minus 20% off = $40~
+ HP Sprocket Portable Photo Printer, X7N07A, Print Social Media Photos on 2×3 Sticky-Backed Paper for $60
+ Polaroid Snap Touch Portable Instant Print Digital Camera with LCD Touchscreen Display for $171 minus 30% off in-cart = $120
+ version 2.0 for $180 minus 30% off = $126
+ PRO TIP for Windows users: WIN + R brings us the search box, type “calc” and get the calculator ~ or something like that
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…
Sandisk and their new WD overlords are having their own sale box in the Amazon Prime Day 2019 deals. Among the many items in the Sandisk and WD Storage sale:
+ 128GB Extreme SDXC for $24, 256GB for $48, 64GB for $13.59

And so it begins! Day #1 of the Amazon Prime Day 2019 has began! This is a mega-post that will take about 1-2 hours before it fills up, so I’m posting it as an “update in progress” if you want to follow along with the excitement…
+ lightning deals on select Rokinon lenses – find them under our Lens Deals posts

If you are not, you are not left out however ~ all you have to do is start a 30-Day Prime FREE Trial and you can start buying right away. Add an entry in your calendar when the 30 days are over, so you can decide whether to let it auto-renew or cancel it manually before the 30 days are over…

Get ready! Fire up your e-wallets, update your addresses and credit cards on file because Prime Day 2019 is a two-day event, Monday and Tuesday July 15 and 16! We will have extended coverage to go with the festivities…
IF you want to participate in the festivities hut you are not a Prime member, fear not! There is a way, you can start a FREE 30 Day Prime Trial membership and be able to buy all the Prime deals. That’s after all one of the reasons they are doing “Prime Day”. If you don’t like the various features of the Prime membership, you can always cancel it before the 30 days are over ~ if not cancelled, it will automatically convert into a paying recurring 1-year membership [I almost wrote “1 yarn” a flashback to the 70s Battlestar Galactica]…
In the meantime to get you warmed up, Woot is running its own little section of Prime Deals. As of the time of writing, they have great deals on the good old Kindle Voyage e-reader for $75 to $80 (used-refurbished, with 90-day warranty). and a few more things.
Barnes and Noble is not going to let Amazon run “unopposed” during Prime Day, so the Barnes & Noble website is offering 20% off your order using coupon code JUNEREADS until 7/16/19. The usual restrictions and exclusions apply. There is no minimum order amount for this promotion…
For bargain book ideas [think of the B&M bookstore “clearance section” with those giant colorful coffee table books], check their Outlet page and if you don’t feel like digging into the various categories, check their Photography Section…
Stacksocial has another Adobe-related bundle, this time they are offering the The Complete Adobe CC Training Bundle for $29. This bundle consists of seven courses with a total of 247 lessons between them all. These are “Beginner to Advanced” type of classes and include Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, Animation, Illustrator, Flash and InDesign. The classes are offered by “Academy of Design”.
NOTE that this is a 1-year subscription to the courses. You do not have lifetime access to them but one year only (365 days from purchase/activation).
REI fans, unite and take over! Good until 7/22/19, orders of $100+ at the REI Outlet will get an automatic shopping cart discount of $20 off. Terms, conditions and restrictions apply…
Separately, they have a seasonal sale on North Face products. Sorry to say but fans of “East Face” and “West Face” and “South Face” will have to wait for a future sale ^_^
PS: REI is a (hippy) co-op, so unlike annual membership plans, with REI, you pay a one-time fee to join the cult collective, and then you are a lifetime member. You also earn annual dividends on select (non-sale) purchases…
There is some Sunday action at the Best Buy daily deals, in the central time zone, with the following items:
+ GoPRO HERO 7 Silver HD waterproof action camera for $200
+ keep in mind the camera colors are _different_ models with GoPRO; because life should never be easy 😉
+ it currently goes for $215 at B&H, Amazon, Ado with the “add to cart” song and dance
+ Canon PIXMA TS8120 Wireless AiO Printer (Red color scheme) for $50
Sunday is upon us and with it, 7/14/19 brings us a neuvo quartet of B&H daily deals as follows:

+ Nature and Landscape photography with John Greengo

If any of the above are not of interest, fear not, they also have a 50% off site-wide sale. This too is a limited time offer, no coupon code is needed: when the sale ends, the price will change…
Speaking of educational matters, and totally unrelated to the above, for a limited time Amazon is offering the Kindle version of the The Reluctant Healer by Andrew D. Hemmell for $0.99 (315 pages, October 2018)…
CORRECTION: today is Friday, not Thursday ^_^
Woot is celebrating its 15 year anniversary [sorry Woot, you still can’t drink ~ probably why they ended the “Woot Wine”] and as part of the festivities they are planning a WOOT-OFF between 7am and 10pm Central Time on Friday 7/12/19… Speaking of the date, did we miss the 7/11 slurpees? 😉
Also part of the festivities they have 15,000 “Bags of Crap” and also special “Birthday Bags of Crap”.
As usual, I have no advance notice of what is coming up, so YMMV on what you find and at which prices…
