Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
The previously mentioned B&H Photo All Star Game of Daily Deals that is the MEGA DEAL ZONE continues for Day #2.
Per the listings over there, this is scheduled to end on 6/23/22 at 11:59pm ET or earlier for any individual items that may have sold out…
And we are back with the latest iteration of the ADorama dailies, these running until Wednesday at 10am ET or earlier if sold out:
+ Tether Tools CRNPFZ100 Relay Coupler for Sony A7III, A7RIII and A9 for $39

+ H&A Elite Pro 1/4″ TRS M to XLR F Professional Interconnect Cable with Rean Connectors, 25′ for $8
MEANwhile of the Tuesday Amazon USA gold box offerings there’s a feast of television with “Fire TV” technology built-in, and from the looks of it the discounts are for Prime members only. Mayhaps the AI bots at Amazon are practicing for Prime Day 2022 😉
Next up, of super-budget Windows laptop interest, one of the Tuesday Best Buy dailies is a 14-inch ASUS laptop with 4GB RAM, Celeron N4500, 128GB eMMC on-board, 1360 x 768, 1-year warranty, Windows 11 in S-mode (easy to get rid of S-mode), etc…
It’s All-Star Game time! No, not the NBA, that’s Draft time. The current B&H Photo daily deals have their recurring All-Star Game, the MEGA DEAL ZONE featuring most of the daily deals that ran the last few months!
As of the time of writing there are 1317 active offers! About half of them (626) are in the Photography category.
Too many to list here individually obviously. Time permitting I will go through them and point out items of potential interest. You can use the various filters on the B&H mega deal zone page to filter them by category, manufacturer, price, etc.
Another way to browse is by looking at our previous daily deals posts that prominently feature the B&H dailies.
I’ll leave you for now with what the B&H Mega Deal Zone AI thinks is the headliner, it’s a $479 laptop, the 13.5″ ACER SWIFT 3, with 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 4-Core (11th Gen), Intel EVO platform, 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, 13.5″ 2256 x 1504 IPS, Intel Iris Xe Graphics, Wifi 6, Thunderbolt 4, two USB 3.2 G1, HDMI, bluetooth 5.1, 84% screen to body, up to 14 hours battery life, backlit keyboard, 1-year Bitdefender, 2.62 lbs, etc. No card reader, no ethernet port, no touchscreen. Runs Windows 10 Home. Per the Q&A, answers by B&H staff, this can be upgraded to Windows 11 and no, the 8GB RAM is soldered on the motherboard, so no RAM upgrades.
Yes, we’ve become 1001 Noisy Laptops 😉
PS: I’m just appending this here because I don’t want to create a new short post, Monoprice is having a phone cables sale with Lighting and USB-C options from $6 to $9. And as soon as Father’s Day is over, the “Dads n Grads sale” quickly morphs into Independence Day sale 🙂

Amazon has officially revealed that Prime Days 2022 will be July 12 and 13 in 2022, which, according to my calendar are Tuesday and Wednesday. This event is open to Prime members only.
If you are not a Prime member, you can still participate by starting a strategic 30-day Prime free trial that includes July 12-13 time window. Amazon is well aware of this and encouraging it because they know that a sizable percentage of those who start 30-day free trials will stick around as paying Prime members for eternity 🙂
Alternately, if you are not eligible for the free trial, but you also don’t want to commit to the $140 per year plan [back in our time kids, Prime was $100 per year but we had to climb up the internet hill backwards at dialup speeds to get it!], you can start a $15/month month-to-month membership and keep it only for the time window that covers the July 12-13 Prime Dayz.
Remember, a Prime membership also includes access to Amazon’s videos and movies, so you can factor your TV/movies streaming/watching schedule into the decision when to start your 30-day free trial!
A Prime membership includes many other benefits as well. To give you a general sense, we have a Prime Benefits round-up post at the main blog, but note that it was last updated in late April 2018, that’s *GASP* four years ago 🙂 Time sure does fly!
Congratulations to the Golden State Warriors for yet another championship, and Steve Kerr one shy of double figures! Welcome to 100.1 FM Sports Talk Radio 😉

The purchase window to get to $15+ is June 13-24 in 2022. As in previous incarnations, the whole purchase window counts as long as you activate the offer within the window. So if you activate on the 23rd, all purchases from the 13th on-wards still count towards the $15+ target…
