Zoom-zoom the whole world begins to zoom as the silver color scheme of the Panasonic ZS100 superzoom with RAW is down to $593 with free shipping instead of its usual price of $700 at Amazon by Amazon herself. This is not part of the lightning deals, so it could last somewhere between nanoseconds and eternity (in other words, I don’t know when the price will change ~ or if it will change).
100% Back in Rewards on 16pk of Duracell Single Use Alkalines (limit 2; ends Sat PM)
If you are a fan of the Office Depot and Office Max rewards and Duracell single use batteries, the 100% Rewards promotion is back on their 16-pack Duracell Coppertop single-use AA or AAA alkalines. You get 100% back on the purchase price (but not the sales tax) on up to two units. You can do one of each, or two of the same. The offer is good for orders placed online, or in-store or by phone or even by fax (!).
Online orders get free shipping if your order total is $35+. Also participating in the 100% promotion are Folgers ground coffee, with a limit of five. One of these will get you free shipping 🙂
You can see all the offers, and if you page down towards the bottom you will see the details and restrictions of each promotion at the Office Depot Rewards Offers page.
Note that Office Max Rewards do NOT roll. If you pay with your existing Rewards balance, you won’t get new rewards. So you have to pay for these with “new money” (credit, debit, cash, gift cards, store credit, barter) but NOT Office Depot Rewards certificates.
The promotion expires at the end of day on Saturday 4/30/16 (closing time for stores, 11:59pm assume Eastern to be on the safe side for online orders). If buying online, don’t wait until the last minute on Saturday as weekend nights can be computer maintenance hick-up time.
Fuji X10 Compact with RAW (black) for $300
If of the many compacts with RAW it is the black Fuji X10 the one you want, you can get it for $300 with free shipping by SSE Photo & Video thru Amazon. This ships directly from the seller (SSE Photo & Video) but if you are a Prime member, you will get Prime shipping benefits (this was a recently added benefit to Amazon Prime, select sellers offer free 2-day shipping on products purchased by Prime members ~ not sure how the cost is split between the seller and Amazon but that’s their behind the scenes thing, not the consumer’s)… Thanks to S.A. Anderson for the email alert on this…
PS: for the speed readers out there, this is the older Fuji X10 fixed lens camera, not to be confused with the newer Fuji X-T10 interchangeable lens camera.

Refurb Fuji XP80 for $90, refurb Instax Mini 8 for $50, new Canon SX530 HS for $190
Among the longer non-daily deals at Woot, there is a mini camera sale good until 4/28/16 at 12am central featuring three models:
+ new condition Canon SX530 HS superzoom for $190
+ refurbished yellow Fuji XP80 waterproof for $90
+ refurbished white Fuji Instax Mini 8 instant camera for $50
The limit is three of each camera per customer. Shipping is $5 flat for everything you buy from Woot in April 2016, so if you already bought something, you won’t pay shipping again in April 2016. This may be an experiment to try a monthly/annual membership or a competitive counter to the $5 per month Meh.com MVP plan (they funnily call is VMP rather ironically!).
(ENDED) Weekend Mag Sale: 1yr CR for $20, 2yr NatGeo for $30
This weekend sale ended with the weekend 🙂
Imported Fuji X-T10 body only with 1-Year seller warranty for $500
The Fuji X-T10 body only goes for $800 or for $900 with the 16-50 at authorized Fuji USA dealers (eg Adorama).
But if you are more of a risk taker, among the latest eBay Deals, seller “Electronics Valley” (99.5%, New Jersey) is offering the new condition imported grey-market Fuji X-T10 body only for $500 with free shipping, in black or silver, with a 1-year warranty from the seller (not from Fuji USA).
I don’t mean to sound like a broken record, but when buying imported items, don’t just buy them because it’s a much lower price. Make sure you are comfortable with the risks and trade-offs of such purchases. Ultimately you are the one who is going to have to sleep and live with the decision and as such, you are the ultimate decider of what’s an acceptable risk to take. (all apologies if this may sound a little Nanny-State-ish but some people may not be familiar with the whole imported vs authorized kerfuffle. In situations like this it is mayhaps better to err on the side of caution).
(ENDED) Sat Lightning Deals: Joby, Silicon Power, Etc

(ENDED) Friday at Best Buy: Lowepro UR 250 for $40, refurb Nikon L840 for $150
Friday is over and so are these daily deals…
Refurbished Nikon D3300 w/18-55 & 55-200 (both VR) w/90-day Nikon USA warranty for $350
Bubbling around in the eBay Top 100 trending deals is yet another manufacturer refurbished Nikon DSLR promotion with a 90 day Nikon USA warranty. It is the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D3300 with the 18-55 and 55-200 DX VR II lenses (both lenses are VR) going for $350 with free shipping, with a limit of two per customer by Beach Camera on eBay. This is available in either black or red D3300. Over 760 units got sold so far from this eBay listing per the numbers shown there.
There are many and more Nikon DSLR kits floating out there, it’s a buyers market, with the silver lining being option overload. But I’m pretty sure the people who paid $2000 for an APS-C DSLR thirteen years ago would be willing to trade choice overload for 1/7th the price 🙂
Manfrotto 681B Professional Anodized Monopod for $55
The Manfrotto 681B Professional Anodized Monopod is currently on sale for $55 with free expedited shipping at Adorama as one of their many Clearance Sale items.
Last Call for the NAB 2016 Specials
We are now in the last few hours of the NAB 2016 Specials. Last call as they say. B&H closes at 7pm ET today (Thursday 4/21/16) and will re-open on 5/1/16, so this is the final countdown for the NAB offers.
If you don’t feel like going through all the offers, here are some pre-sorted links by product category: 10 Tripods (Benro, Magnus, E-Image, Manfrotto, etc) and 30 LED Lights (Genaray, Litepanels, Dracast, Ledgo, Cool-Lux, etc) and 2 Impact Green Screens and 2 Flolights and 3 Westcott Cine Kits.
One more thing, if you are looking for a workstation-caliber $1000 laptop, the HP 15.6″ OMEN Pro Multi-Touch Mobile Workstation PC, model L9U78AA#ABA, goes for $1000. It has a late May 2016 shipping estimate though. Specs include Core i7-4870HQ Quad-Core, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM, 15.6″ UWVA Anti-Glare 1920 x 1080 Touchscreen, 512GB Z Turbo Drive M.2 PCIe SSD, NVIDIA Quadro K1100M with 2 GB GDDR5 VRAM, 64-bit Windows 7 Professional, 3 year warranty, etc.
Refurbished Nikon S7000 (20x optical, Wifi) for $123
Another compact zoom sale, the black Nikon Coolpix S7000 (20x optical, Wifi) is available in certified refurbished condition with a 90 day warranty for $123 with free shipping by Beach Camera thru Amazon. The new condition price at authorized dealers is $200 with free accessories (eg Adorama).
This ships from a Beach Camera facility, but if you are a Prime member, you still get free Prime shipping. This is because of a recent expansion of the Prime program benefits where some retailers for some products (such as Beach Camera and recently Adorama) also offer fast shipping for Prime members. The downside of this is that you have to pay even more attention to the product listings to notice all these distinctions. Annotated screenshot crop below highlighting the points to look at:
