Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
We mentioned in detail the Olympus E-M1 II combined purchase discounts at Amazon, but Amazon is not the only one offering these. You can also get them at Adorama. Start at the E-M1 II product page and expand the yellow “Special Offer” area to see all the options.
Another tech doorbuster, in certified refurbished condition, you can get the Kindle Fire HD 8.9″ with 4G AT&T LTE for $65 with free shipping by Woot fulfilled by Amazon. Two-day free shipping for Prime members! 32GB on-board storage and 1920×1200 resolution. This is a second generation model. Can be used as a digital picture frame among other things given the screen size/resolution 🙂
You can find this and other on-going non-lightning Amazon deals in the Elsewhere at Amazon sections of the lightning deal roundups.
This coupon expired but it returns every few days/weeks… If you are planning a big Monoprice purchase, today is the day, coupon code MIDWEEK20 gets you 20% off an order of $300+ in eligible products at the Monoprice website. The usual exclusions apply. You can add items and coupon in the shopping cart (without logging in or creating an account) to test the coupon. You can enter a zipcode to get a shipping fee estimate because most items over there don’t get free shipping.
The Samsung Unpacked and B&H Photo Panasonic GH5 streams ended, but you can re-watch them at any time in the future…

A secret fire sale (pun intended) has gone live at Amazon! The Amazon Fire HD 6 Tablet is on sale for $34.99 as certified refurbished by Woot fulfilled by Amazon. Free shipping with a $35+ order for non-Prime members. Primes get the usual free 2-day shipping. This has a six inch 1280 x 800 touchscreen, 8GB storage, no memory card, and the Amazon-obligatory Special Offers. The new condition price is $70. You get a 90-day warranty and all original accessories.
This is open to everyone, unlike the Kindle e-reader sale that’s restricted to Prime members. Limit 30 units per customer.
Free photo app time for iOS users! The Paint FX Photo Effects Editor by Sprite Labs is currently FREE to grab at the iTunes store, good for compatible iPhones and iPads. The latest version of the app is early March 2017, 218 MB big, and requires iOS 6.0 or later, so it should work with older i-devices.
The Canon 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L II USM IS is one of the Adorama VIP sales with a bundle of many free small accessories for $2000 BUT if you prefer one big accessory instead of a handful of near-consumables, Adorama has another bundle, also going for $2000 with free shipping, bundled WITH the Vanguard 264AB-100 4-Section Aluminum Alloy Alta Pro 264-AT Tripod Legs with SBH-100 QR Ballhead. The Vanguard goes for $180 on its own. The bundle is “temporarily on backorder” because the tripod is backordered, but you can order it if you like the price/combo.
The Domke Propack 414 DSLR Backpack is on sale for a limited time for $40 with free shipping at Adorama as one of their VIP 1-Day Sales.
Speaking of bags, they have the Brenthaven Collins Slim Briefcase (Graphite) for $30 with free shipping. This is a general-use briefcase, not a camera-bag.
Adorama just launched a VIP 1-Day Sale featuring 20+ products. More on this later as I am posting it on the fly.
UPDATE: in parallel with the above flash sale, Adorama also has an Apple TV flash sale, the 32GB version goes for $130, while the 64GB version goes for $170 with free shipping.

The sale is back on again, to the Trending eBay deals we go, where the Buydig eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D3400 two lens kit with the 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G DX VR and the 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED DX (not VR) lenses, along with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty for $400 with free shipping. Limit up to five bundles per customer. This is only available in the black color scheme.
While surfing around eBay, trendy at the Trending eBay Deals, the BuyDig ebay store is back with the new condition 34-inch Samsung SE790 Curved Ultra Wide WQHD display offered for $600 with free shipping. Limit five per customer. This has 3440 x 1440 resolution, and various connection options (zoom in on gallery picture #4 to see them).
If you are comfortable buying camera gear that was previously offered for rental, Borrow Lenses has a new coupon promotion, you get 15% off the purchase of used gear on their website. Over 170 options are available. The coupon is only good for the purchase of used camera gear there; it is not good for rentals (even though the website name is “Borrow” :))

And now a bang for the buck deal on the lighting front. Clearance/refurbishing specialist A4C (All 4 Cellular) is offering the manufacturer refurbished Chromo Macro Ring Light for $15 with free shipping for the 48 contiguous states. It comes with a 90 day warranty from A4C. Everything on the A4C website comes with free shipping, even the $2 cables and adapters.
This is not one of their daily deals, but one of their weekly sales. Expiration date unknown since they may run out before the weekly offers expire. This goes for $29 to $30 in new condition (eg Groupon Goods, Amazon)
The Best Buy daily daily deal expired, but the 64GB Sandisk Ultra PLUS SDXC memory card continues for $30 with free shipping (instead of $28) by Best Buy on eBay.
This expired: One of the Tuesday Best Buy daily deals is a sale on the Sandisk Ultra PLUS SD cards with the 64GB going for $28 and the 32GB going for $18 with free shipping and store pickup. It’s easier to offer free shipping on a tiny little thing such as a memory card 🙂
The PLUS models are faster than the non-PLUS models according to the Sandisk website. The model numbers are different too. The 64GB Ultra PLUS is SDSDUSC-064G-AN6IN while the non-PLUS is SDSDUNC-064G-GN6IN. Visually you can tell the non-PLUS by the absence of the PLUS in the pictures (assuming the retailers use the correct pictures which is not always guaranteed; eg Best Buy on eBay linked in the first paragraph). If you don’t need the extra speed, the non-PLUS currently goes for $22 at Amazon by Amazon itself.
The Best Buy daily deal price ends Tuesday night. The Amazon price is an organic or price-match or dynamic market-driven price; to cut a long story short, I have no clue when that price will change 🙂
Amazon has a new sale on their ebook readers that is currently for Prime members only [exclusive discounts on select products at random points in time is one of the ever-expanding Prime benefits], with the discount appearing after you add the item in the shopping cart. No coupon needed. The offer continues as long as you see the discount mentioned over there in the product pages of the eligible products [see screenshot below]:
+ entry-level Kindle for $50
+ Paperwhite for $90 [bang for the buck model features-wise] ~ also available in White [select that in “Customize & Add to Cart”]
+ Voyage for $150
+ limit two of each per customer during the sale
Photography ebooks and camera manuals are not ideal to be read on an e-ink screen for most people with the current technology level, but there is a small number of text e-books about photography, eg, photography essays including the classic read “On Photography” by Susan Sontag.
PS: you can also find these in the Elsewhere at Amazon sections of the near-daily lightning deal round-ups.

To celebrate the upcoming release of the new Panasonic GH5, B&H Photo is planning a GH5 Live Stream Discussion Panel on Wednesday 3/29/17 1pm Eastern time. The timing is good, because it’s two hours after the Samsung Unpacked live-streaming event that will reveal the Galaxy S8 flagships.
As part of the festivities of the GH5 event, B&H Photo is bundling a $100 B&H Photo gift card with pre-orders of the GH5 Film Maker’s Kit for $2870. This kit goes for $870 more than the standard GH5 kit and includes four Panasonic accessories (official Battery Grip, DMW-XLR1 XLR Microphone Adapter, AC adapter, DC coupler), along with the $100 gift card.
Starting April 1st in 2017, Amazon will collect sales tax on all states that collect sales tax. It is already doing so in the vast majority of the states, but with this latest group, it will complete the puzzle. It will obviously not collect sales tax in states where sales tax is not collected (Oregon, Alaska, etc). Details via CNBC.
But because things are never quite as simple, there is a distinction, for tax collection purposes, between products sold and shipped by Amazon (they collect taxes) and products sold by 3rd-party sellers through the Amazon website. The latter category is still up in the air as literally any and every person on earth (and beyond) can be an Amazon seller.
Camera manufacturers have “(re)discovered” bundling! Canon has a brand new lens bundle, one prime, one zoom, and they are offered together, the 50mm f1.4 and the 17-40mm f4L, available for pre-order at B&H Photo for $1200. This however is NOT a good price as it stands, because the lenses can be purchased individually $330 (50mm f1.4) and $750 (17-40mm f4L). I suspect the bundle price will be adjusted when it gets closer to release, because $1200 is the list price of each lens before the seasonal “instant savings” promotions.
If you are looking to buy physical/printed photography books or camera guides (or any other physical/printed book), especially ones that rarely get discounted or have the same prices everywhere you look, there is a new coupon for the Barnes and Noble website, coupon code BNMAR40 gets you 15% off an order of $40+. Free shipping with order totals of $25+ for all (which is probably why Amazon has the $25+ free shipping tier on books). The usual restrictions apply. Coupon expires 3/30/17 at 3am ET.
This coupon promotion is for NEW customers only! Coupon code AFF20MARCH gets you 20% off one class at Creative LIVE. Cannot be combined with other purchases. You must have one class in your shopping cart for the coupon to work. Coupon expires 3/31/17 or when it is used 200 times; whichever happens earlier!
PS: you can watch classes at CreativeLIVE for FREE when they are recording/broadcasting live on the internet. Check their On-Air schedule for dates and classes. After they air, you cannot watch them for free.
Further discounted from last week, trending at the Trending eBay Deals is another offer from the official DJI eBay store, offering the manufacturer refurbished DJI Phantom 3 Professional with 4K Video for $550 [WAS $579 last week] with free shipping and a 1-year DJI warranty. Limit up to five per customer. Over 1480 units got sold so far from this listing.
PS: if you are eligible, don’t forget to also use $10 off $25+ coupon. The eBay page will remind you (subtly) if you are logged on to an eBay account that is eligible for the promotion.
eBay is on the attack again! This time they have a new non-targeted coupon code, coupon code C20FLASH gets you 20% off products offered by 42 eBay sellers, a mix of known (BackCountry, eBags, VM Innovations, WW Stereo, Red Tag Camera, Samsonite, etc) and unknown sellers.
The coupon expires Monday March 27 (2017) at 11:59pm pacific time. Minimum price for eligible items from eligible sellers is $25. MMaximum discount received is $50 (in other words, purchase amount that can be discounted capped at $250 [CORRECTED MATH!]).
eBay created listings for different categories of eligible products from eligible sellers. The Camera and Photo listings have over 1000 items, while the Digital Cameras sub-category has over 600 items.
Check each individual listing for the condition and warranty situation of each item, since this is a mix of various sellers. Due to time constraints I can’t go through the 1000+ listings right now, so this is a DIY adventure if interested.
The dream of the 90s is alive! Not in Portland, but at the eBay Deals where the BuyDig eBay store offers “His” and “Hers printers. Okay, you have to make your own “His” and “Hers” stickers, but they are offering a 2-Pack of Canon PIXMA MG 6820 wireless all-in-one inkjet printers for $95 with free shipping. You get TWO printers for the price. Limit five bundles per customer.
PS: if you are eligible, don’t forget to also use $10 off $25+ coupon. The eBay page will remind you (subtly) if you are logged on to an eBay account that is eligible for the promotion.
We splash into the eBay Deals now where the official GoPRO eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished GoPRO HERO4 Black Edition for $235 with free shipping and a 1-year warranty from GoPRO. Limit five per buyer. Over 3600 units sold from this listing per the eBay statistics over there.
All your storage are belong to you and a proper backup strategy (that almost no one follows to a “t”) is essential! B&H Photo has a sale on 32 External Hard Drives from Western Digital, across different product lines (desktop, portable) with storage options ranging from 1TB to 6TB.
Speaking of B&H, if you want to protect your lenses or other gear from humidity, they have launched a new line of Ruggard Electronic Dry Cabinets. The 30L capacity goes for $140, while the 80L capacity goes for $250. They are currently available for pre-ordering. These powered, with LED lights, adjustable, and come with lock and key.
