First Wave of B&H Photo PPE 2018 Specials are LIVE
The end of October is many things, such as Halloween and the start of a new NBA season, but it’s also the Photo Plus Expo (aka PPE) in New York City [see Trade Show Calendar]… As with previous years, B&H Photo is back their first wave of PPE 2018 specials with more coming in the next few days. Many of these expire on Monday, some earlier, some later…

YMMV: Amazon offering $75 statement credit with “Discover It”
This is YMMV as only Amazon’s AI knows how they decide to offer and target these type of things…
While surfing around Amazon, their AI may decide to offer you a $75 statement promotion IF you apply and get approved for a “Discover It” credit card, and use it to make an Amazon purchase within 3 months of getting the card. This offer appears under the “Special Offers” of individual products [partial screenshot below] or you may see promotional banners or other verbiage while traversing their byzantine website…
Refurbished Nikon D750 body only for $1200
If you want a full frame DSLR without breaking the frame of your wallet [I’m running out of “full frame” jokes!], Adorama is currently offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D750 body only for $1200 with free shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty… The new condition currently goes for $1700 at authorized dealers… But mayhaps the biggest expense of a full frame camera is the 35mm full frame lens one has to buy to make the most of it :)…
Vanguard 47 DSLR Backpack for $25
Bag the bags! The new condition Vanguard 47 DSLR backpack, in the blue OR orange [but not black] color schemes is on sale for $25 at B&H Photo. This is an organic sale, not a daily deal, so expiration time is unknown…

$10 off is not a huge discount obviously, but if you were planning to buy this camera, that’s $10 less 🙂 Or if you prefer accessories, you can trade off those $10 off for a variety of freebies at Adorama…
Screenshot below to make sure I did not imagine it 🙂

It is a small sensor but RAW is better than not having RAW for those who like to squeeze more out of their camera.
It is available for pre-ordering for $448 at Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon itself with a early November 8 release estimate.

Woot is having a partial Woot-OFF with three of their sub-Woots participating. Of camera/tech interest is the Clearance Woot-OFF, that’s the artist formerly known as Sellout. The other two participating sub-Woots are Gourmet and Shirts, so a good opportunity to pick up some creative shirts, especially if you are a Prime member since you get free shipping on Shirts [they are fairly lightweight and can be rolled up to burrito size, so they are easy and cheap to ship; thus the free Prime shipping benefit]…
Meanwhile it is Ninja day at the Amazon Gold Box where a trio of their household appliances are on sale, headlined by the $100 Coffee Bar Auto-IQ. If you don’t like coffee, you can use it as a lighting set-up challenge 🙂

For EU shoppers, Amazon Germany is offering the new condition 32GB Sandisk Ultra SDHC card for 10 euro and Prime eligible. You can buy as many as you like. This is an old fashioned sale, not a “Angebote” (Gold Box) lightning deal. It is currently the best selling card at Amazon.de.
If you prefer something better/faster, the 64GB Sandisk Extreme PRO goes for 24 euro, with up to three cards per customer at the sale price.
If you prefer a solid microSD card, the new condition Samsung Evo Select goes for 38~ euro. This too has a limit of up to three units per customer at the sale price.
The usual Prime Germany free shipping terms apply.
EU: Sony RX10 First Generation for 650 euro
The Sony RX10 Mark IV is the leader of the RX10 series but with a price that is not that far from 2000 (Euro or Dollars), one who loves the idea of the RX10* models but has a fiscally strict spouse-CFO may be interested in the original model, the first generation RX10, it is currently on sale in new condition for 650 euro by Amazon Germany itself with a maximum of two units per Amazon account at the sale price.
One could buy almost three of these for the price of one Mark IV with its 4K and bigger lens and speed-demon auto-focus and such…
EU residents pay no additional VAT/customers. Outside the EU, it depends on your location and situation…

This particular listing is sold and shipped by AWD, so you get the “sold-by-Amazon” benefits, including Prime delivery…
As long as you are in the European Union, you don’t pay any additional VAT/customs. Outside the EU, check with your local laws [or ask photographers in your region]…
If you are not familiar with how it looks when AWD is the seller, here’s a screenshot, annotated in orange with the areas of interest:

This coupon expired…
Mon (B&H): Manfrotto NitroTech N8/546B for $500, LG G6 for $250, SmallHD 502 for $899
Monday 10/22/18 is here – is your Halloween costume ready? Mine is always ready because I wear it every day 😉
Anyway, Monday is here and good until 11:59pm in the eastern time zone at the B&H Daily Deals you can get the high-ticket [compared to the typical day] C&P offerings:

32GB Kingston Canvas Select microSD for $5
If you are looking for 32GB microSD memory cards of the Class 10 variety with a full-size SD adapter included [I just wonder how many of these the average smartphone power user has in a drawer somewhere], for a limited time, Amazon herself is offering the 32GB Kingston Canvas Select microSD card for $4.75 after a $0.25 clip-on coupon. You can buy as many as you like [this is not a lightning deal], however, the 25c off coupon only applies to the first unit. If you buy more than one, the subsequent units will be $5 each.
Note that they are Add-On items, so you must needs place a $25+ in eligible physical products (sold or fulfilled by Amazon herself – which is the majority of products offered over there]. You can get to this with six of these cards, or any combination of this card and any other eligible products.
PS (Music Recommendation): if you are a Prime member (or an Amazon Music Unlimited subscriber), and you are looking for some relaxing peaceful music for your Sunday activities, here is a Jazz Classics playlist on Amazon 🙂
Sun (Gold Box): eMart Lighting Gear (four options)
The Amazon Gold Box has a lighting plan for you! Good until Sunday at 11:59pm pacific time, one of the deals of the day is a sale of Emart Lighting Gear, with prices ranging from $24 to $48~. These are fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime members can get them in about two days. It includes a backdrop stand, umbrella kit, tabletop lighting and of course a softbox kit. You can buy as many as you like.
Typically these “fulfilled by Amazon” offers don’t sell out since they don’t have the name-brand recognition of the well-known camera and electronics manufacturers, but of course you never know. I may have jinxed them by merely saying this 🙂
PS: if you prefer to spend as little time as possible buying clothes, Amazon is having a sale on 30+ clothing items from their own Amazon Elements house brand with fairly reasonable prices considering some of them are multi-packs…
Sun (B&H): Tascam, Tiffen, Think Tank
