IT’S a tech-heavy day at the Wednesday Woot dailies where the headliner is an Apple iPads and MacBooks sale ($100 to $1500). There’s also a $550 Galaxy S21 5G, Dell computers ($100 to $1500, yes, that’s the Fairness Doctrine, matching Windows with Apple offers), outdoor chef gear ($24 to $420), and so on…
As of the time of writing Amazon has eight pages of Camera and Photo Lightning Deals, most of which are part of the Prime Dayz festivities, indicated by the “Prime Day Deal” tag on each product in the aforelinked search listings.
On a time-permitting basis I will go through this and point out specific products in separate new posts.
This year, I am not doing the usual round-up mega-posts. Instead it’s new posts for new deals. It’s easier to write and easier to follow. Since I’m not posting hundreds of new posts per month on this blog, it shouldn’t have any noticeable impact on performance…
Not wanting to be left behind, Samyang too is having a Prime Day sale with two pages of LENS offerings. Too many to list here individually, please feel free to peruse them over there if interested…
If you are a fan of auto-focus and not been following on Rokinon/Samyang, note that they have an ever increasing number of lenses with auto focus technology.
I know, I know, we all want to be the eccentric photographer with a Canon 1D X Mark III and a $50 manual focus Chinese lens made of paper and plastic, but sometimes autofocus is useful 😉
Party on Rokinon fans! As in previous Prime Dayz festivities, the Rokinon Lens Sale is back with four pages of offerings! Too many lenses to list here individually at the moment, but you can easily breeze through the four pages 🙂
If your To-Buy Camera List just happened to have the Canon M6 Mark II mirrorless on it, and you are a Prime member (or do not object to starting a 30-day trial), congratulations, you’ve found a Prime Deal on the Canon M6 II with 15-45 and EVF going for $879~ with free US shipping, down from its regular price of $1100!
The lens is the EF-M 15-45mm F/3.5-6.3 IS STM. The offer is only on the black color scheme, not the silver-and-black (bad luck for the Raiders fans once again!)
I’m sure Canon Marketing is still self-congratulating for turning the Elph sub-brand into the Selphy 😉 Kidding aside, as part of the Prime festivities Amazon herself is offering for Prime members the new condition Canon SELPHY QX10 Portable Square Photo Printer for $100 with free US shipping. One per customer.
Speaking of Canon, also part of the Prime festivities they are offering the new condition Canon Zoom Digital Monocular Kit (with charger, cable, microSD, strap) for $100 with free US shipping. One per customer.
Adorama has brought out the big-name guns for their latest daily deals that run until Wednesday at 10am ET or earlier if sold out.
+ Apple AirPods Pro with Wireless Charging Case for $180
+ Microsoft Xbox Series S Console for $250
+ SanDisk Extreme Portable 4TB USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C External SSD V2 for $386
+ Flashpoint XPLOR 400 Pro Compact TTL R2 Monolight with Glow ParaPop OTA 38″ and Adapter set for $609
Needless to say, you don’t have to be a Prime member to buy these 🙂
Back to the Prime Dayz 2022 festivities, and it’s GoPRO time! Amazon itself is offering the new condition GoPro HERO8 Black Bundle: for $250 with free US shipping. One per customer!
The bundle includes the GoPRO Hero 8 Black, protective housing, carrying case and an extra rechargeable battery.
It just happens that Woot’s 18th year birthday coincides with Prime Days this year. To celebrate its birthday Woot is having a $500 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway with five winners. This is open to all – you don’t have to be a Prime member, and you don’t have to buy anything.
To be eligible, you must needs post in the aforelinked Woot thread, following their rules, terms and conditions. The more complicated the rules, the better the chance of winning because some people won’t read them 🙂
The entry deadline is 7/18/22 at 4pm central time.
UPDATE: unrelated to the Giveaway but related to Woot, they changed their Tuesday 7/12/22 headliner daily deal, it is now a Best of Tech sale with a heavy focus on TVs and Apple products.
As part of the Camera and Photo category of the 2022 Prime Dayz at Amazon, Prime members can get the new condition 128GB Lexar UHS-II SDXC (1667x) (U3, C10, V60) for $30 with free US shipping, up to three per customer at the sale price.
There are two pages of offers over there, most of which are SD and microSD cards from various well-known manufacturers (Sandisk, Samsung, PNY, etc), too many to list here individually. They go up to 1TB.
We have our first Prime Day 2022 camera offering! Amazon is bundling the Olympus E-M1 Mark III with the 12-45mm f4 PRO lens for $1800 with free US shipping. Prime members only!
The camera goes for $1600 as body only while the lens goes for $700 at authorized dealers. The bundle price at Amazon is $2150, so the Prime Dayz deal is a $350 off discount on the bundle price, and a discount of $500 if purchased separately.
As of the time of writing, the body only goes for $1600 and the lens for $700 at B&H Photo.
If you are not a Prime member but want to buy it, check your options at our Prime Dayz 2022 launch post…
The day is here! Prime Dayz 2022 is here! Day 1 has officially just began at 12:01am pacific time at the Amazon website. Most of the offers are for Prime members only. They are marked with the “Prime Day Deal” in the multiple-product page listings, and on the individual product page it tells you you must needs be a Prime member to buy!
IF you are a Prime member, dive in!
If you are not a Prime member, and you want to participate in the festivities, you can start a 30-Day FREE TRIAL. If you previously had free trials, the Amazon computers decide that your account is eligible again and tell you so.
If the Amazon AI bots determine you are not eligible for the 30-day free trial but you want to buy some of the offers, you can start a month-to-month paying Prime membership and cancel it after the 1st month (or whenever you no longer need it). Or prepay the 1-year membership at $139.
Either way, if you are going to make a Prime Day purchase until Wednesday night, make sure you fill up the Stampcard promotion to score a $10 Amazon credit.
Lots of laptops and computers and kitchen ware and Amazon’s own devices and Amazon’s own brands are participating!
More posts as I digest the offerings!
Tuesday is here in the Eastern Time Zone and it brings with it a new set of B&H Photo dailies running until 11:59pm ET or earlier if sold out:

If you are planning to make an Amazon Prime purchase by Wednesday 7/13/22 at 11:59pm pacific time, AND you are a Prime member (paying or free trial), you can easily earn a $10 Amazon store credit thanks to this StampCard promotion.
The four things you have to do to earn the $10 store credit are:
The only thing that costs money is the money you pay to make the Prime-eligible purcahse. The other three items are Prime Benefits. They are basically adding them to the Stampcard to encourage more Prime members to try out the other Prime benefits.
The aforelinked page has a progress bar showing you which ones of the steps you have completed.
PS: if you are not a Prime member, first start a 30-day free trial and then take the steps to earn the $10 store credit…
The big dayz are almost upon us! Prime Dayz officially start on Tuesday July 12 in 2022 at 12:01am pacific time and run for 48 hours until Wednesday July 13 at 11:59pm pacific time!
If you are already a Prime member, you can participate in all the offers.
If you are not a Prime member, you can still participate in the offers by starting a FREE 30-DAY TRIAL and be eligible for all the offers and Prime benefits during your free trial.
If you previously had a 30-day free trial, the Amazon AI computer system will decide if you are eligible for another one for your account. It will tell you so.
Alternately if you don’t want to prepay for a 1-year subscription, and you are not eligible for a 30-day free trial, you can start a month-to-month subscription and keep it only for as long as you need it, eg one month so you can participate in the Prime Deals or to watch the new half-a-billion Lord of the Rings TV show…
UPDATE: if you are a student at an eligible institution, you can get a FREE 6-month Prime Student trial, and then you can optionally stay one for a 50% off a prepaid 1-year Prime membership ($69 per year). You are also eligible for three Prime Student benefits, Showtime $1/month for a year, Amazon Music Unlimited for $1/month, and 6-months of free Linked In Premium…
This was a daily deal at Best Buy but it has already sold out. Amazon has price-matched it, and as of the time of writing it is in-stock and shipping for the same deal price of $40. We are talking about the 400GB Sandisk microSDXC (C10, A1, UHS-I, U1) for $40 with free US shipping. This is sold and shipped by Amazon herself. Up to three per customer at the sale price.
Since this is a price-match, I do not know when it expires…
