B&H handily beats Prime Day offer on Sony A7 III w/two solid freebies: ThinkTank and 64GB Extreme

Amazon’s Prime Dayz of 2023 are goofiy advertising the new condition Sony a7 III body only as a Prime Deal, but apparently Amazon’s own AI pricebots did not check the internet prices…

… because B&H Photo beats them by a lot, they offer the Sony a7 III body only with TWO FREE solid accessories for the same price of $1498:

+ 64GB Sandisk Extreme PRO UHS-I SDXC

+ Think Tank Photo Retrospective 7M Shoulder Bag for DSLR/Mirrorless Cameras (Pinestone)
+ goes for $130 on its own

+ needless to say, you don’t have to be a Prime member to buy the B&H Photo deal 🙂

UPDATE: Adorama beats them too!
It turns out Adorama beats Amazon as well, as Adorama offers a variety of freebie options. You have to check the “Product Options” section of their listing over there to see the freebie options:

+ two Sony NP-FZ100 batteries, OR
+ Flashpoint R2 TTL on-camera flash for Sony systems, OR
+ accessorapalooza including 64GB Extreme, Takama tripod, and lots more, OR
+ Corel bundle with 32GB Extreme and various other accessories, separate options for PC or Mac

For the speed-readers out there, note the “OR” above. You only get ONE set of freebies, not all sets of all freebies. You can look them up at the Adorama product page 🙂

Saturday: MEH birthday MEH-rathon!

Time sure does fly because the Meh website is sale-a-brating its birthday, it has turned nine years old! And how do they sale-a-brate this event? Why, with a MEH-rathon, their version of a Woot-OFF. But a MEH-rathon is even better, because earlier offers do not disappear – they continue to be available for purchase until they sell out or the event ends…

AND if you are fond of freebies, this weekend, the freebie for Lucky Rewards (supermarket chain) is a 20oz of “Coca Cola Ultimate”, a limited edition “creation”. Keep in mind there’s a LOT of easily absorbable sugar in soft drinks, up to ten teaspoons. Only about one teaspoon of sugar circulates in our blood, so you can image the panic and stress the human body goes through when all of a sudden a bomb of 10 teaspoons of sugars enters the bloodstream 🙂

The current Adorama VIP Rewards program has evolved since its incarnation. Now it has three tiers!

The entry-point tier, “VIP” is open to all and FREE.

The next level is “VIP Perks” and you can only reach this when you spend $1500+ in the current member year. Or as some photographers like to call it, another professional lens 🙂

The final and the top tier is “VIP PRO” and this costs $50 per year, and it’s sort of their Prime variant as you get free 2-day shipping, free extended returns (60 days and free return shipping), and free 1-year accidental spills and drops (exclusions apply!).

The Rewards Tiers have other differences as well, you can find them nicely organized in a very readable table at the Adorama VIP Rewards page.

Thursday: Aduro, Rotolight NEO3 Bundle, Zhiyun Crane 2S, Etc

And just like that, dear readers, we’ve fallen upon another Thirsty Thursday. This being a health-conscious blog, we highly recommend water, tea, coffee, and proper electrolytes for your thirst needs. It pains me to say that more and more research shows that alcohol is a poison to the human body ~ until we evolve, or until we can get ingestible nano bots that process alcohol and spare the liver of the suffering 😉

After that totally unnecessary intro (it’s a good thing web hosting companies don’t charge by the word), we charge up to the Meh daily deal, they be offering the Aduro PowerUp OmniHub Universal Charging Station for $20 plus shipping. No, this is not an Omniscient hub, but it has three AC outlets, two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports. Not bad for a single device. A few of these and you can charge all your devices at the same time 😉

THEN we scoot on over to the B&H Photo daily deals good until 6/29/23 at 11:59pm ET or earlier if sold out, with a fresh six-pack of offerings:

+ RotoLIGHT NEO 3 On-Camera RGBWW LED Light Starter Bundle for $379

+ Zhiyun CRANE 2S Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer Combo Kit for $300

+ 160GB Delkin BLACK CFexpress Type A Memory Card for $250

+ PortaBRACE RB-1B Small Lightweight Run Bag (Black) for $140
+ fun alt-fact: they call these “run bags” because that’s what thieves use to fill them up with stolen goods and make a RUN for it 😉

+ 15-foot TetherTools USB cables, three options, $10 to $15
+ pay attention to the connectors, these are niche combinations!

+ IDX ZENITH ZEN-C150G Three-Stud Lithium-Ion Battery (145Wh) for $279 with FREE IDX UC-PD1 Pocket Travel Fast Charger & Power Supply
+ no, you won’t find three “romance novel” studs inside 😉
