On the storing those megapixels and RAWpixels front, the 1TB portable hard drives are settling at a $50 price at various places, but if you want more (and a better GB/c grocery-store-style price), the bigger capacities win. Case in point, the 5TB Seagate Expansion External USB 3.0 Hard Drive is on sale for $136 with free shipping, at Amazon by Amazon itself, with a limit of 10 per customer… Thanks to one of our readers for the alert… Alternately, the 4TB model goes for $120 (limit 10 as well)…

Tuesday: 15% off at Monoprice site-wide with coupon
If you are a fan of Monoprice products (be it accessories or their ever-increasing “real products” including computer monitors and such), coupon code OCT15 gets you 15% off at the Monoprice website. This applies to Monoprice-branded products, which is the vast majority of what they carry.
Featured items are shown on that page, or you can use the search box or navigate to the various camera and photo related categories.
Coupon is good for Tuesday October 27 (2015) only, in the pacific time zone since Monoprice is Southern California based but they also have a new warehouse facility in Kentucky to help with faster deliveries to the East Coast. The usual coupon restrictions apply (not good on Tamron lenses, not good for their 3D printer, and not for manufacturers that prohibit retailers from coupon discounting, etc).
Their website is redesigned again, so some parts may look different since the last time you may have visited. Some zipcodes may qualify for $7 Next Business Day flat-rate delivery, but not all of them (I can’t try hundreds of zipcodes). Nevertheless, having a shipping fee moving target is kinda frustrating to a shopper. The internets have shown that they prefer a predictable shipping fee, preferably free for all (eg the eBay Daily Deals), but if not, a fixed threshold (eg Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Groupon, etc) so you can plan ahead and such.
Sony NEX-FS100U Super 35mm Video Camera for $1600
The Sony NEX-FS100U Super 35mm video camera body only (takes E-mount lenses) is now down to $1600 with free expedited shipping at Adorama.
While on the topic of video, also at Adorama, in-stock and ready to ship it is (obligatory Yoda-ish which I’m sure will be overly-done world-wide in the next few months) the Panasonic AG-DVX200 Camcorder for $4200. This has a 13x Leica optical zoom fixed lens.
In-stock now: AmazonBasics GoPro Tripod Mount for $6.50
The AmazonBasics brand continues to expand with even more items. Now in-stock and shipping for GoPro users is the AmazonBasics GoPro Tripod Mount going for $6.50 with a limit of 30 per customer. Unfortunately it is part of the Add-On program, so regardless of Prime-membership, you need to place a $25+ order, otherwise the shopping cart will Mutombo (v) any attempts at completing the purchase.
But there are some easy ways to get to $25+ (Prime order threshold) or $35+ (free S&H for non-Prime), including this 200x (slower) 32GB Lexar SDHC w/Memory Card Wallet for $10 or some discounted camera bags (page down to the “Camera Bag Survivors” segment and look for Amazon as the seller or shipper). [I need to do another “Add-On” round-up since the previous one got stale – since items come and go and prices and Add-On status changes, sometimes often]
Various Blog Updates grouped together
This post rounds up a number of blog-related updates, to keep you abreast of what’s going on. Here we geaux:
+ a new Camera Price Charts feature will begin shortly (the last time we did this was December 2014)
+ already updated the Trade Show Calendar with the 2016 trade shows (a couple more dropped out or merged)
+ an easy to find and easy to use “Shop and Support” feature is coming soon. This was (to my surprise perhaps) requested by multiple people since it went away during one of the previous blog template incarnations/remodelings (more on that later)
+ you may have already seen an increase in blog-post productivity (more posts and some longer posts) thanks to the new blog-computer. Previously, the old computer couldn’t keep up with me, and it made posting rather frustrating at times. Now I can’t keep up with the new computer – which makes me feel old(er). You can’t win 🙂
+ as we are really now orbiting Planet Black Friday, if there are any items or product categories you are interested in, please let me know (so I can keep an extra eye on them) using the online contact form or leave a comment or twitterize
32GB Lexar SDHC 200x Class 10 + Polaroid Memory Card Wallet for $10
If you don’t need a blazing fast SDHC card and you could use a memory card wallet, there’s a pretty good bundle going on. The 32GB Lexar 200X Premium Series SDHC UHS-1 Class 10 memory card is bundled with a Polaroid memory card wallet (judging by the pictures it holds three memory cards) for $10. The seller is Ritz Camera with the order fulfilled by Amazon.com, so if you are a Prime member, you get free 2-day shipping even if you buy just one card. Non-Prime members get the usual free super-saver-shipping with a $35+ order. Limit 30 per customer.
This shares the same reviews pool with another bundle, but when you filter it for this only, it looks like it has all 22 of the 22 reviews, which average 4.8 out of 5.
(ENDED) Wednesday Lightning Deals: Joby, Movo, GeekPro, EBL, Duracell, etc
These lighting deals expired… For future ones in the future, check the Amazon Gold Box (new, giant images version) or Amazon Gold Box (old, widget with arrows version) and Camera & Photo page…
Bag the Bags (Blockbuster Edition): Tamrac, Crumpler, Timbuk2, Pelican, Case Logic, Think Tank, Slinger, Tenba, Brenthaven, Manfrotto, Sony, Lowepro, Ape, etc
In this “blockbuster edition” of the recurring “Bag the (Camera) Bags” segment, we start with the latest new offers, and then we round-up some of the older offers that either continue or have returned. Because all those cameras and lenses need their own bags and they can get pretty territorial. Have you seen two DSLRs fight over a nice camera bag? It can get ugly – sensors may get scratched 🙂

The Canon Pixma MG6620 Wireless Color Photo All-in-One Inkjet Printer (Black) can be yours for $50 with free shipping when you enter coupon code EMCMK2X7P5 at BuyDig.com. This is a limited time coupon offer (I don’t know when it expires)… This printer averages 3.9 out of 5 based on 340+ reviews at Amazon…
Groupon Coupon: 5% off Goods (camera gear) and 20% off Local Deals (includes various Photo Prints offers)
You are not having a deja vu. This is a new promotion! Coupon code SCREAM3 gets you 20% off Local Deals and 5% off Groupon Goods offers at Groupon. The coupon code expires on 10/27/15 at the end of day.
The coupon is limited to one unit per transaction. During this promotional period, you can use the coupon on up to three Local Deals and up to three Goods offers. The maximum discount is $50 per transaction. Some exclusions apply (I haven’t memorized them …yet).
Camera and photo gear are under the Electronics section of Groupon Goods, so they are eligible for 5% off with the SCREAM3 coupon.
On the other hand, many of the photo print offers (canvas prints, custom photo books, wood and metal prints, custom photo gifts (mugs, phone cases, etc)) are under the Local Deals, so they would be eligible for 20% off with coupon SCREAM3. How they were coded in the system is what determines the discount, so it’s possible that the logical category does not match the physical category. Their shopping cart is the ultimate decider…
While finding Goods (camera gear) offers is fairly simple, finding the various photo-print offers under Local Deals is a bit more tricky. If you are not familiar, start at the Groupon Home page, then click on the “Local” option in the menu bar up top. The local links vary depending on each person’s city, so I can’t create general-use local links.
Many of the photo print offers are located under the “Personalized” sub-category of Local. Some are under “Shopping”. Photography-related classes are under “Online Learning”.

Tiffen 77mm Variable Neutral Density Filter for $100
