Of interest especially if you have gift cards to spend, or if you want to make purchases for the 2018 tax year. Consult with your tax adviser(s) on how whether to Section 179 them or depreciate, and how to file them whether you are a pro, amateur or hobbyist.

If you had missed any previous B&H Photo daily deals, rejoice! Their MEGA DEAL ZONE continues for Day #2! Think of this as an all-star game of the various daily deals they posted throughout 2018, which is, by the way, just five days away from getting archived into the vaults of history…

Ends Tue 9pm ET: up to 60% off at CreativeLIVE

Christmas learnigns to you! Good until 9pm eastern on DEC-25-2018, a flash sale promotion at Creative LIVE gets you UP TO 60% off sales of everything at their website. The price you see is the price you pay ~ there’s no coupon to enter. The discount is automatically factored it is UP TO 60% off. Everything is not 60% off. Happy Eatings and Happy Learnings ^_^

Tue: FPV RC Drones ($70 to $154)

Merry Christmas with a baby drone sale at the Tuesday at the Amazon USA Gold Box with two FPV RC drones bundles with 720p going for $70 and $154 each.

The rest of the daily deals at the other retailers are taking a break, there’s little and less on offer as most people have tired of shopping and will soon be snoring from tryptophan overdose…

30 Classes under $30 each at CreativeLIVE

It is not just the season of cheer, the potentially extra days from work can also mean more time for learnings. If so, this sale comes in handy, CreativeLIVE is having a 30 under $30 sale, that’s 30 classes for under $30 each. A variety of subjects are included grouped under beginning-photography, designer, self-starter, business-related, crafter, and the all important Photographer and last but not least musician. This is the order of classes as presented at the aforelinked page, not in order of priority! Because photographer is always number one with a bullet, longer at the number one spot than Whitney Houston’s Bodyguard soundtrack super smash hit pop songs 🙂

Mon: TOURIT, Viotek, X-Rite, LEDGO, Tascam, Etc [CORRECTED]

CORRECTION: as it is often the case with holidays that follow weekends, we get day-of-the-week confused ~ these offers were on Monday, not Sunday!

Christmas Eve (Monday DEC-24-2018) in the Amazon USA Gold Box has two sets of sales of potential interest. First up, a sale of a soccer team (eleven in number; before any red cards [red cards in our case = selling out]) of TOURIT backpacks going for $23 to $75. These are general use, not camera-specific bags… Next up, on sale is the 34-inch Viotek GN34CW (21:9 Ultrawide Curved QHD Gaming and Professional Computer Monitor, 100Hz 1440p, FreeSync FTS/RTS VESA) going for $375, sold by a 3rd-party seller and fulfilled by Amazon…

Both the number and variety of sales have dropped down in both Amazon USA and Amazon Germany as we have reached the point of no return in terms of Christmas Day delivery. There’s always gift cards or if all else fails, hand-written [for those who still remember how to write with their hands] IOU gift notes…

Then we move on to the B&H Photo daily deals where they offer the ColorChecker Passport Photo for $60, and the LEDGO Bi-Color Flood Shoot-Through LED Ring Light for $129. There’s also a Tascam CD player for $249…

Meanwhile at the Best Buy daily deals, you can get the Corel VideoStudio Ultimate 2018 for $35… They also offer various Logitech keyboards and mice…

Speaking of Christmas, if you are looking for a safe 5 hour instrumental playlist to have on-repeat or random, this 100-track compilation is free to listen for Prime members, or you can purchase it for 99c [that’s the whole compilation of 100 songs, 1 cent per song]. It may even cost less if you have digital credits in your Amazon accounts that are eligible towards mp3 music.

Panasonic GH4 with 12mm f12 3D for $729

More mirror-nyet action from the Adorama curated daily deals, this time we move to the Land of Panasonic where the new condition Panasonic GH4 with 12mm f12 3D lens is going for $729 with free shipping. That’s just $30 more than the body only, so you are getting the Panasonic 12mm 3D lens for just $30 more. That’s of course assuming you want/need this f12 3D novelty lens…

Fuji X-A3 with 16-50 OIS II for $290

On the other hand, if you are curious about the Fuji X system, and just want a foothold into it without breaking the bank, Adorama is offering the new condition Fuji X-A3 with 16-50 II OIS for $290 with free shipping. That is amazeballs for a “Take pictures with” kit ~ considering we were paying $2000+ for an APS-C camera at the start of the previous decade ^_^

This too is part of the Adorama curated daily deals

Fuji X-H1 body with Battery Grip and $500 GC for $1949

Adorama has a new round of expanded and curated daily deals and the headliner of this group is something of interest to Fuji X fans, it is this Fuji X-H1 body with Power Booster Kit bundled with a $500 (yes, five hundred) Adorama gift certificate going for $1949…

So assuming you have no problem spending the $500 Adorama gift certificate on things you want/need, that’s beating the X-H1 body only (without the power booster grip) which currently goes for $1649 on its own (eg B&H Photo and Amazon….

Sun (B&H): Canon Pixma TS9120, Vanguard, Etc

Sunday is here and Santa is now furiously busy packaging and taping presents and putting gift cards in envelopes 😉 Sunday also means a new round of B&H Photo daily deals as follows:

+ Canon Pixma TS9120 AiO wireless inkjet printer for $50

+ Vanguard Sedona [mountains not included] 43 sling bags for $30 (three options)

+ also NuForce earphones and Samsung QLED UHD

Sat: Sabrent Accessories, Budget Action Cams

There is camera and photo action in the Saturday Amazon Gold Box as there is a featured sale of Sabrent (brand name) camera accessories. There are nine options with prices ranging from $5.50 to $60 (56″ aluminum tripod with 360 full motion). The rest are small camera-related accessories (card reader, small stabilizery things, and GoPro accessories)…

Meanwhile the Woot Electronics daily deal is the XtremePro XP4KB 4K Ultra HD Sports Camera Bundle with Wireless Wrist Remote and 20 Accessories going for $45 with free shipping for Prime members or flat shipping for the calendar day for non-members. This is accessor-a-palooza, most of which I presumably assume can be used with other action cams and things as well…

64GB Samsung EVO Select microSD for $11

If 64GB is your favorite microSD size, the 64GB Samsung EVO Select microSD card is currently on sale for $11 each, with up to five per customer, at Amazon by Amazon itself… In terms of bang for the buck though, the 128GB goes for $20 each, while in terms of low price, the 32GB goes for $6 but it is an Add-On item… Meanwhile the 256GB option goes for $45… This is not a lightning deal, so expiration time and price-change is unknown [especially if prices are determined by Amazon’s AI/bots]…

Weekend (B&H): Sunpak Slave Flash for $25, Etc

Friday is here and as always, the B&H Photo daily deals run for 48 hours instead of the usual 24. So this group ends on Saturday at 11:59pm ET [or earlier if sold out]:

+ Sunpak PF20XD Digital Slave Flash for $25

+ Savage Collapsible 5 x 7′ Backdrop for $60 in three options

+ also Tascam podcast studio kit, iPad cover, Xeror laser

19 Classes for $19 each at Creatives Live

A new offer has gone live at CreativeLIVE, a selection of 19 classes going for $19 each, although a couple of them are $17 each, including the “Yoga for Photographers” class 🙂 Note that this grouping of classes is of general/creative/communication/business interest, the only photography class I’ve found is the aforementioned YOGA for Photographers [a 6-day class, each lesson under 1 hour, so it’s not demanding time-wise]. Lenovo Yoga NOT included with purchase 🙂

Thur (EU): Sony, Nikon, Panasonic, Canon, Lenses, Etc

Woot launches new Garage sales

It’s time again, Woot has launched another Garage sale. Think of the Garage sale as a Woot-OFF that happens simultaneously. Or as other retailers call it, a sale 🙂 There are six categories of products available, with camera and photo interest mostly concentrating in the Electronics Garage and the Computers garage

CL Stocking Stuffers Sale

AS the name suggests, CreativeLIVE’s latest Stocking Stuffers sale is a mix of photography and creative classes across the spectrum, something for everyone as the cliche goes. The price you see is the price you pay. Many of the classes now have assembled quite a few reviews/ratings, making it easier to decide on it… They are also offering the option to Gift the class, so that’s a productive e-gift for someone that will stay with them for a long time…
