Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
Of the Friday Woot daily deals, there is a big LED Lighting sale featuring LOTS of Philips Hue but also some lesser known brands.
Meanwhile there’s only two items at this iteration of the Adorama daily deals that run until Saturday at 10am ET:
+ K&F Concept Auto focus EOS-NEX for $70
+ H&A Professional USB Microphone For Podcasting and Studio Recording with Professional Studio Monitor Headphones for $110
Our last reminder, the 2022 B&H Photo OPTIC 2022 Trade-Show/Conference event is taking place June 12-15 in 2022 in The Big Apple! This is a hybrid in-person and virtual event! Registration is FREE! You can find, at the aforelinked page, the schedule and details and also check which events are in-person (eg photo-walks) and which are virtual and which are both.
Fri-YAY is here and as usual, the B&H Photo dailies run until Saturday at 11:59pm ET:
+ Samyang 12mm f2 AF for $399 in Fuji X
+ yes, Fuji X fans now have Samyang Auto Focus technologie!
+ NiSi V5 Pro 100mm Filter Holder Kit (Black or pink) for $90
+ Delkin DDMOUNT MINI Fat Gecko Mini Camera Mount for $20
+ PC correction: replace “Fat” with “Festively Plump”

+ BOLT VS-570C Wireless TTL Flash for $50 in Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji
+ check specs for specific camera compatibility and such
+ JBL boom-boom bluetooth speaker for $110
This is not a daily deal but an “organic” or manufacturer-initiated sale. Or something like that. The point being, I do not know when it expires 🙂
The TTArtisan 35mm f1.4 Lens is on sale for $73 at Adorama and also at B&H Photo in either the silver or black color scheme of the lens…
The sale price is good on the M43rds, Fuji X, Sony E, Leica L, Nikon Z and Canon EF-M options. The Leica M however is decidedly NOT on sale ($449).
On a totally unrelated note (I don’t have anywhere else to put it in LOL), REI is having a name-brand clearance sale on past-season styles. Since I’m five seasons behind, past-seasons are new seasons to me 😉
UPDATE!
There’s no camera-n-photo item in this round of Adorama daily deals (change Friday 6/10/22 at 10am ET) so I’m appending them to this post instead of creating a new one:
+ ASUS ZenBook Duo UX482 14″ Full HD Touchscreen Notebook for $1250
+ i7-1165G7 2.8GHz, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD
+ Windows 10 Home, Free Upgrade to Windows 11
+ H&A Studio Monitor Stands (Pair) for $45
+ H&A HA-OML-XLR Professional Omni-Directional Lavalier XLR Microphone for $20
Per The Fairness Doctrine (TM), since we previously mentioned the M-series MacBooks we must also mention a Microsoft Surface product 😉
And what a coincidence, the “Surface Laptop GO 2”, a multi-touch 12.4-inch actual laptop is now available for pre-ordering for $700 (128GB on-board) or $800 (256GB) at B&H Photo and Amazon and such…
This has 8GB RAM, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 4-Core (11th Gen), 12.4″ 1536 x 1024 PixelSense touchscreen with Intel Irix Xe graphics, Wifi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, one of each USB A and C ports, fingerprint reader, Windows 11, etc.
The laptop supports the Surface Pen but it is NOT included. It promises up to 13.5 hours battery life.
PS: 128GB is just too “Apple” (aka too little) for the price 🙂
No, it’s not the Deep Space Nine Founders you are seeing at the Thursday B&H Photo daily deals running until 6/9/22 at 11:59pm ET:
+ Lensbaby Optic Swap Founder’s Collection on sale for $500 in seven different systems:

Meanwhile of the Wednesday Amazon dailies, there’s a tabletop games sale, yes, games you can play with *GASP* other humans and *DOUBLE GASP* without computers/phones/consoles/tablets 😉
We have an in-stock alert! No, not the just-announced M2 MacBook AIRs, those will take some time, but the previously announced 14.2″ and 16.2″ Macbook PROs with the “M1 PRO” and “M1 MAX” chips are now in-stock and ready to ship at various configurations at B&H Photo.
A total of 19 options exist (too many to list here individually) with prices ranging from $2200 (M1 PRO 8-core, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 14.2″) to $4900.
The new just-announced M2 MacBook AIRs and PROs are now listed at B&H Photo but pre-orders are not accepted. Prices start at $1200 (8-core M2, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 13.6″), while the PRO goes for +$100. Meanwhile the first-generation M1 now start at $1000. Educational discounts are -$100.

The freebies are included automatically by B&H while this promotion is running (you see them mentioned in the product listing right below the price “Includes Free: 3 items ($79.98 value)”)
So the extras total to three batteries and a 3-port charger. The standard Osmo Camera kit includes a battery as well (but no charger), so in total you have one 3-port charger and 4 batteries.
The DJI camera has a 1-year warranty, while the batteries have a 6-month warranty with less than 200 recharges.
This is a limited time offer, but not a daily deal, so I don’t know when it ends…

They are not as common as Windows laptops but 17-inch Chromebooks have been shyly appearing the last couple of years. One such is the headliner of the WEdnesdaY Best Buy dailies.

In addition to the just announced X2Hs camera, Fuji has also revealed a couple of mainline/mainstream X-system XF lenses, and they are designed to make your wallet cry capture great photos 😉
+ XF 18-120mm f4 R LM PZ WR for $899 at ADorama and B&H Photo
+ shipping estimate is mid-September 2022
+ XF 150-600mm f5.6-8 R LM OIS WR for $1999 at B&H Photo and Adorama
+ shipping estimate is early July 2022
+ here’s a 4-minute overview by B&H:
A very memorable memorial day for Fuji fans (it’s a self-writing pun!), as Fuji has officially announced their brand new X-H2s flagship camera with a 26mp stacked BSI X-Trans APS-C sensor, up to 7-stops of in-body stabilization, 6.2K/30P 3:2 aspect ratio, AI auto-focus, both SDXC UHS-II and CFexpress Type B, 15fps mechanical shutter (40fps electronic), both OLED EVF and vari-angle 3″ touchscreen (plus monochrome sky-facing LCD for settings), USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, full size HDMI, PC sync, uses the NP-W235 battery, etc, etc, etc…
The camera is available for pre-ordering for $2500 as a body only. It also has three “with lens” kits that bundle it with Fuji’s two T2.9 video-priority pro zooms. The third kit is with both T2.9 zooms. The prices are (of course) high (if you have to ask…).
Pre-orders are accepted at B&H Photo and at Adorama and such…Shipping estimate is early July 2022…
Here’s a 12-minute video overview of the camera by Jake Estes of House B&H:
Along with it are three H2S-dedicated accessories, a $199 camera cooling fan, and $399 VG-HX battery grip, estimated to ship along with the camera in early July 2022. There’s also a $999 file transmitter grip estimated to come out in mid-September (along with the new XF lenses)…
BUT that’s not all! Wooden Camera is also releasing a handful of H2S dedicated accessories (camera cages, etc). But they are also sneaking in a couple of general use adapters, PL lenses to either X-system bodies or GFX bodies…
PS: since the X-H2S uses the existing NP-W235 li-ion battery, if you want to save, for $30 you can get the B&H Photo Watson Li-Ion…
