Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
This daily deal expired… For more action, check the B&H Featured Deals page…
Speaking of Dxo, their DXo One 20mp camera for iOS devices is now in-stock and shipping for $600 from multiple retailers including Amazon and B&H Photo and Adorama and various on eBay (Buydig, NewEgg, Focus, etc).
The BuyDig eBay Store is a gift that keeps on giving today. They are offering the new condition black Pentax K-50 with 18-50 and 50-200 WR lenses for $440 with free shipping. These are new condition with USA warranty. As of the time of writing, there are eight left.
As of the time of writing there is ONLY ONE left in the silver color scheme, and you have to add to the shopping cart, and login with an eBay account to see the price, it is the new condition Fuji X100T offered for $1100 with free shipping, by Buydig’s eBay store.
To make sure I am not hallucinating or sleep-blogging, here’s an annotated screenshot crop of the eBay shopping cart:
UPDATE: if the above sells out, or if you prefer the black color scheme, the same $1100 price is also available from the BuyDig eBay store for the new condition black Fuji X100T. There are six left of this as of the time of writing.
More elementproof action at the eBay Deals where the BuyDig eBay store is offering a new condition orange Ricoh WG-M1 with lots of free accessories for $129 with free shipping. You can buy as many as you like. The extras include a 32GB memory card, camera bag, card reader, HDMI cable, lens cleaning kit, and a mini tripod (those that are strong enough to hold a mosquito but only before it eats). Joking aside, this is a pretty good bundle, especially for someone who doesn’t have much in accessories (eg gift for kids, which tend to break and drop things in the water and their food).
To the eBay Deals we return where eBay seller “Deal Frenzy” (98.6%) is offering manufacturer refurbished Fuji XP80 waterproofs in either black, blue or yellow for $129 with free shipping and a 90 day Fuji warranty… The yellow is also available refurbished for the same price by Willoughby’s on Amazon (Coldplay not included!).
We have further discounting on the GoPro Hero4 Session. Its price is now down to $275 at Amazon, who also offers a free $40 plastic Amazon Gift Card. Simply add both the GoPro and the Gift Card, and at the top right corner of the checkout page, the total price will be adjusted with a -$40 to make the gift card free. The free gift card offer is only good when Amazon is the actual seller, not 3rd-party sellers.
PS: GoPro has earned enough “street cred” that you can now find a shortcut link to all the GoPro links at the top menu of this blog, under “Manufacturers”.
Amazon is celebrating 10/10 by offering 10% off select Windows 10 devices (laptops, desktops, AiOs).

If you are an Amazon Prime member, for a limited time (until 10/14/15), Amazon offers you free four month subscriptions on up to three magazines, from a choice of 22 options. Options include Popular Photography, Wired, Popular Science, and such.
THE CATCH is that after the first four months, the subscription converts to an auto-renewing subscription at $12 per magazine per year. So if you want to get those four free months but don’t want to pay later, make sure you cancel before it converts to a paying subscription. Existing subscribers are not eligible. More details at the Terms/Conditions over there.
The latest Trending eBay Deals have a crazy low price on the 2014 HTC flagship smartphone/cameraphone, the One M8, with a microSD card, so you can many and more pictures without worrying about filling up the on-board storage.
NOTE: this is seller-refurbished, so they have a higher risk than manufacturer refurbished, so if you are risk-averse or a bit of a perfectionist, you may want to avoid them or at least approach with caution.
It is the seller refurbished 32GB HTC One M8 (6525), the Verizon model with its GSM part unlocked for use with any GSM provider. Check the bands and frequencies to make sure it works on your carriers of choice if planning to use it for cellular. Limit five per buyer. Over 4000 units sold so far. Only the gray color scheme remains. The other colors sold out. The M8 is one of the devices scheduled to get upgraded to Android 6.0.
They also have a couple of seller-refurbished Galaxy models, the S4 for $100 and the S5 for $180, at the Trending eBay Deals. No more microSD card with the new Galaxy S6 and its contemporaries.

When it comes to the Canon 7D Mark II, the decision is more tricky between refurbished with one year warranty VERSUS brand new at authorized dealers. So let me present to you the options, and as usual, “we blog, you decide/deride” 🙂
At the refurbished Canon USA store sales, the 7D Mark II body only goes for $1200, while the 7D Mark II with 18-135mm goes for $1450. They come with a one year Canon USA warranty.
Now, the new condition price for the 7D Mark II body only at authorized Canon USA dealers is $1500, however, running in parallel are the Canon Pixma AMEX bundles. So if you do not object to mail-in rebates and prepaid AMEX gift cards, there are trade-offs to be made. For example, this Adorama 7D Mark II body only bundle is $1250 after $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX gift card) and includes the 7D Mark II body only kit, the Pixma Pro 100 printer, 50pk 13×19″ photo paper, 32GB SD and New Leaf.
Some forget the milk, others forget the pancakes. Earlier on, I mentioned the D-Rebel T5i two-lens zoom kits but it turns out there’s another two-lens kit on special at the Canon USA outlet store. Just like the rest, it is manufacturer refurbished D-Rebel T5i with 18-55 IS STM and 40mm f2.8 STM for $520 with free shipping and a one year warranty… It is part of the Canon Refurbished Columbus Day Sales…
We interrupt the Canon madness with something of general interest. The 64GB Samsung EVO Class 10 Micro SDXC (up to 48MB/s) with full-size SD Adapter, model MB-MP64DA/AM, is on sale for $20, with a limit of three per customer, at Amazon by Amazon itself. The orange is not seasonal pumpkin flavor, it’s like that all year, it is part of their “Water proof, Temperature Proof, X-Ray proof, Magnetic proof” line-up.
If of the APS-C Canon DSLRs it is the first generation Canon 7D body only the one you want/need, you can get it in manufacturer refurbished condition with a one year warranty for $630 as part of the official Canon USA store refurbished DSLR sale.
The Canon S120 compact avec RAWeaux (that’s the professional french spelling) goes for $350 at authorized dealers that also offer some freebies, for example Adorama includes the Canon MG2520 printer and 1yr New Leaf Spills/Drops warranty and $7 promotional rewards for free.
If you don’t need the extra accessories and want to prioritize on lower out of pocket price, you can get the Canon S120 in manufacturer refurbished condition with a one year Canon USA warranty for $280 from the Canon USA official store refurbished Powershot sale.
If compacts with RAW are of interest, don’t forget to also weigh in the similarly refurbished with one year warranty Canon G1X for $270 or the Canon G1X Mark II for $600.
To keep things more organized, in this post, we round up some of the potentially interesting Canon Superzoom and Elph refurbished deals (48 options, multiple pages) that are part of their Columbus Day sale:

+ these and more at the refurbished Powershots pages (48 options – multiple pages over there)
+ almost all of them come with a free 4GB SD card
+ all come with a one year warranty from Canon USA
If you want to switch or load up on Canon gear, and like the idea of one year manufacturer warranties, the official Canon USA store has launched their Columbus Day Sale featuring at least 56 items (each page has 18 items, so make sure you check all four pages over there). The sale items typically have their price in “red ink” instead of “black ink”. I will go through them and post separate on individual products of potential interest, but I don’t want you to miss out any potential great deals while I plod through them.
+ select refurbished DSLR kits (multiple pages)
+ select refurbished SLR lenses (multiple pages)
+ refurbished Speedlite Flashes (five options)
+ select refurbished Fixed Lens cameras (multiple pages)
PS: if you want to see individually picked deals, pay attention to the Canon gear category here at this blog. I am going through them as we speak…
And now we move on to the Canon Digital Rebel T5i (T-five-i), offered at the official Canon USA in manufacturer refurbished condition with a one year warranty, bundled with the 18-55 II IS and 55-250 II IS lenses for $500 with free shipping… If instead you prefer the 55-250mm IS STM lens instead of the 55-250mm II IS, this bundle goes for $580… This is part of their Canon DSLR Deals that are part of their refurbished Columbus Day Weekend Sale…
Optionally, if you purchase this (or any other refurbished Canon D-Rebel DSLR kit) with one of three eligible refurbished Canon Lenses, you can get a $20 off combined purchase discount. As of the time of writing, the three eligible refurbished EF lenses for this promotion are the 40mm f2.8 STM, the 55-250mm EF-S IS, and the 75-300mm III non-USM (but not the USM!). Eligible lenses mention this specifically (annotated screenshot crop right below):
In the first of three Canon D-Rebel T5 two-lens kit specials at the official Canon USA store, you can get the manufacturer refurbished Canon D-Rebel T5 with 18-55 II IS and 55-250 II IS with a one year warranty for $300 with free shipping… This is part of their Canon DSLR Deals that are part of their refurbished Columbus Day Weekend Sale…
In what is turning into a blog stress-test, the Canon sales continue with a zoom + prime two lens kit. The official Canon USA store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Canon D-Rebel T5 with 18-55 IS II and 50mm f1.8 II with a one year warranty for $241 with free shipping… This is part of their Canon DSLR Deals that are part of their refurbished Columbus Day Weekend Sale…
