Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
But wait, there’s more! There’s another new Panasonic M43rds lens, yet another second generation model, it is the 100-300mm f4-5.6 II OIS with a price of $650 and available for pre-order at that price at Adorama and B&H Photo.
A summary of the new interesting and serious cameras and photo lenses of 2017 so far can be found at the brand new Cameras and Lenses of 2017 Tracker.
Zoom-zoom now! Panasonic has another superzoom camera in the FZ-series with RAW out of the box. It is the new FZ80 with a 18mp 1/2.3″ sensor and a 60x optical zoom lens (20-1200mm eq) and RAW with a pre-order price of $400 at B&H Photo and Adorama… This too has been added to our New Cameras of 2017 page…
But wait, there’s more from Panasonic in the world of Micro Four Thirds. If you want something longer than 12-35mm and you are willing to sacrifice constant aperture, their new 12-60mm f2.8-4 OIS lens is available for pre-order for $1000 at Adorama and B&H Photo.
The fourth of the new Panasonic CES 2017 lenses is more affordable, it is the 45-200mm f4-5.6 II OIS with a pre-order price of $450 at Adorama et al.

It’s not just camera for Panasonic! They have also revealed the second generation of their f2.8 PRO zooms! They are now available for pre-ordering as follows:
+ 12-35mm f2.8 II OIS for $1000 at Adorama and B&H Photo
+ 35m-100mm f2.8 II OIS for $1100 at Adorama and B&H Photo
+ yes, this is a lower price than the first generation
Panasonic has a new flagship now, the GH5 with a March 2017 release estimate and a pre-order price of $2000 at Adorama and B&H Photo… You can find this along with the other New Cameras of 2017…
UPDATE: also accepting pre-orders now is Amazon itself for the same price of $2000 (I am rounding prices for simplicity sake, the actual price is $1997.99).
PS: also available for pre-order is the DMW-BGGH5 Battery Grip for $350.
No longer just the books, the camera too is now available for purchase, there are four official Nikon D5600 DSLR kits available for pre-order at B&H Photo in familiar configurations:
+ body only for $700
+ with 18-55 DX VR for $800
+ with 18-55 DX VR and 70-300 f4.5-6.3G non-VR for $1150
+ with 18-135 f3.5-5.6G DX VR for $1200
The latest new cameras and lenses of 2017 are now tracked in the brand new New Cameras of 2017 tracker.
This may be a first. The books for a camera are listed at Amazon before the camera itself! There’s two of them now! Julie Adair King’s “Nikon D5600 For Dummies” is available for pre-order in paperback for $30 with an April 17 (20170 release estimate, while David Busch’s Nikon D5600 guide is available for pre-order at Amazon for $40 with a May 19 in 2017 release date estimate. This is the paperback edition, under the RockyNook brand (not to be confused with the Barnes and Noble Nook). Amazon has a pre-order price-guarantee [see Details], so if the price drops until its release date, you will pay the lowest price during the time period between pre-order and release date.
PS: 3rd-party goofballs (okay, sellers) have created stub listings for the Nikon D5600 at Amazon, but Amazon’s own listing is not there yet.
CES 2017 is upon us and so is the parade of new cameras! Canon has a brand new RAWsumer, it is the second generation of the G9X, the aptly named “G9X II” and it is available for pre-order in black or brown color-options for $530 at B&H Photo and Amazon itself at the moment.
Staying with the reborn G-line, Canon also announced a G7X II Video Creator’s Kit available for pre-order for $750. What makes it so not as generous as some of the DSLR kits that include Rode mics, but rather you get a Manfrotto PIXI Mini tabletop tripod, an extra battery, and a 32GB SDHC card.

It’s an instant camera double header. We start with the grape color scheme of the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Camera bundled with 20 sheets of Instant Film (the Fuji Mini instant twin pack), all together for $60 with free shipping at Adorama… For more action, check their New Years Sale…
Film camera action now, of the instant kind even, the Fujifilm INSTAX Wide 300 is on sale for $85 with free shipping at B&H Photo and at Amazon by Amazon itself (limit ten per customer).

The HP Envy 5540 Wireless All-in-One Photo Printer is currently on sale for $65 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of two units per customer. This is a sale, like the Canon 50mm f1.2L going for $1149, not a lightning deal.

I just updated the Stock Status Tracker and the current situation is this: the Fuji X-T2 is not currently in-stock but a variety of 3rd-party sellers have the Olympus E-M1 II body only in-stock-ish for its normal price of $2000 through Amazon.
The Fujifilm INSTAX Mini Instant Film Twin Pack (a total of 20 sheets) is currently on sale for $13.44 at Amazon by Amazon itself. This is currently restricted to Prime members. Limit up to twenty packs per customer. The current shipping estimate is 2-5 weeks. This is not a lightning deal.
Here comes another camera bag, it is the Thule Perspektiv Compact Sling going for $35 with free shipping at B&H Photo, another one of their latest B&H Photo Featured sales.
A bit of a memory card doorbuster (since it gets free shipping), it is the 32GB Lexar Professional Class 10 UHS-I U1 633x SDHC Memory Card (Up to 95MB/s Read, Up to 20MB/s Write) going for $10 with free shipping at Adorama. You can buy as many as you like at this price… For more action, check their New Years Sale…
NOTE: this is a Four Thirds DSLR lens; NOT a micro four thirds lens for the M43 mirrorless system.
Of interest to Four Thirds DSLR photographers and adapter-erers, B&H Photo has the Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 35-100mm f2 (Four Thirds) in Used Condition for $1000 in 8+ condition and $1100 in 9 condition and $1150 in 9+ condition. The new condition price is $1950 at B&H.
A new week is here, and so are new coupons at Walgreens Photo. Coupon code DECORATE50 gets you 50% off 8×10-inch Canvas Prints & Wood Panels until Wednesday at 11:59pm Central time. Sometimes these get extended until Saturday night, but it’s not guaranteed. The usual terms apply, free store pick-up, otherwise you pay S&H. Limit five uses per customer during the promotion. The bottom of the page over there has the coupon details – in fineprint because the internet “paper” can’t fit it all 🙂
Surprise! An actual lens on …sale! The Canon 50mm f1.2 L is currently on sale, in new condition, for $1149 with free shipping, at Amazon by Amazon itself. Limit up to five per customer at this point. This is not a lightning deal, so it’s either an actual sale an error or an internal (3rd-party sellers) or external (other websites/retailers) price-match.
Tripod time now, the Vanguard Abeo Plus 324CT Carbon Fiber Tripod with TBH-100 Ball Head is on sale for $300 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo as a limited time offer.

Has anyone written this science fiction story yet? All the Tripods and Monopods become sentient at once and rebel against humanity, demanding proper care, not just thrown at the bottom of the trunk and pulled out only in case of photography-emergencies? 🙂
Which brings us to the Prima Photo Aluminum Monopod on sale for $30 with free shipping at B&H Photo, available in four different color schemes. This is a limited time sale, expiration date unknown (to me).
Vroom-vroom with a 1050X Compactflash, the 128GB Delkin 1050X UDMA 7 Cinema (model DDCF1050-128 GB) is on sale for $100 with free shipping at B&H Photo and Amazon itself.
Speaking of storage-related items, Amazon itself offers this 128GB SanDisk CZ48 USB 3.0 Flash drive (model SDCZ48-128G-U46) for the very specific price of $24.31. This is not a lightning deal.
Speaking of Amazon, if you are close to the $25+/$49+ limits, $2 is all it takes to get the new condition “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” DVD. Not sure how they can afford to sell it for $2 and not even have a quantity-limit per customer. But what do I know? I’m just a blogflower 😉
It’s Shiguma time now, the Sigma APO Teleconverter 1.4x EX DG is on sale for $199 with free expedited shipping (it’s a small thing after all) in the Canon and Nikon systems (sorry, the Sigma SA is not on-sale last-remaining-Sigma-SA-photographer) at B&H Photo. This is a limited time offer but an expiration date is not mentioned.
A total of 14 Sony cameras, a mix of E-mount iLCs and RX fixed-lens cameras are bundled with gift cards with amounts ranging from $50 to $500 at B&H Photo. The Sony a7S II body only is the one getting the $500 gift card. The a6300 and a couple of RX models are getting $200 gift cards, while the rest are getting either $50 or $100 free B&H gift cards.
Prime your wallet canons because a new lens is now in-stock and shipping for the Canon EF system, it is the Zeiss Milvus 135mm f/2 ZE Lens going for $2199 with free expedited shipping from B&H Photo. The Nikon version is not in-stock yet…
