In-stock nao: Canon G5X and G9X rawsumers
Canon announced not one but two new RAWsumers, the G5X and the G9X with starting prices of $800 and $500 respectively. As of the time of writing, these are in-stock at multiple retailers, including:
+ Canon G5X: B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon (price is $800, ignore the $450 after MIR, it is WRONG!)
+ G9X silver-brown: B&H Photo and various at Amazon and OneCall
+ G9X black: B&H Photo and various at Amazon (price is $500, ignore the $150 after MIR, it is WRONG!)
CAUTION: Amazon’s After Rebate Prices of Canon Cameras eligible for Canon MIRs are WRONG
Red flag alert! There’s a problem with the way Amazon calculates prices for Canon digital cameras that are eligible for the Canon Pixma combined purchase mail-in rebates. The after rebate prices are incorrectly shown on camera-only kits. These won’t fly since the Canon mail-in rebates specifically require a camera + printer purchase.
Here’s an example of a broken price box, using the Canon G5X as our guinea pig:
When you click on the rebate link, it will take you to the usual Canon Pixma combined-purchase rebates. See the PDF form.
In-stock nao: Polaroid Cube+ Lifestyle camera for $150

Sanyo Eneloop 2-slot charger with two AA Eneloops for $10 w/free shipping
Do you go loopy over Eneloops? (sorry, that’s the best I could come up with in 20 seconds). Adorama is offering the Sanyo Eneloop 2-slot Travel Charger with two AA Eneloop rechargeable batteries (pre-charged, 1900-2000mah) for $10 with free shipping. As you can tell from the Sanyo brand name, this is an older model, but has a very sold 4.8 out of 5 based on 120 customer reviews at Adorama. It charges two AAs in about 4 hours. More details in the description and the reviews.
This could be a nice introductory gift to rechargeable batteries for people who use single-use batteries – as long as you explain to them that you can’t recharge single-use batteries with them. Perhaps point them to the exploding battery YouTube videos to make sure they “get it” – because a few will probably be tempted to “try it just in case it works”. You know how people are 🙂
