55% off Hostgator hosting with coupon
If you are looking for a shared web hosting service for your website or blog, Hostgator (which we use for the current iteration of the main blog, and previously used for the “camera reviews stream”) has a 55% off standard price sale when you use coupon REDCROSS15 until Wednesday May 6 at 11:59pm central. Coupon name is such because they are sponsoring the Red Cross Tour du Rouge Houston to New Orleans benefit.
IMPORTANT: The discount applies to the first payment you make. If you purchase a month to month plan, you get a discount on the first month and nothing more. If you purchase a prepaid plan (up to three years in length), your first payment is the total amount covering the whole period, and the 55% off is on the total amount. So if you are going month to month, this is a very small discount. On the other hand, if you are planning on a longer term plan, it’s a good discount.

Imported Canon 7D Mark II body only for $1200
If you are comfortable with imported (grey market, NO Canon USA warranty) DSLRs, a new offer among the eBay Deals is offering the new condition imported / grey-market Canon 7D II body only for $1200 with free shipping with a limit of five per buyer. The seller is GetItDigital (99.6%) and offers their own one year warranty. It does not come with a Canon USA warranty. This is an imported model. So far over 300 units got sold from this listing.
The new condition price from authorized Canon USA dealers is $1700 with some free accessories and rewards at Adorama and B&H Photo. A difference of $500 is certainly not a small amount, but there are pros and cons to getting an imported camera, and ultimately that is a personal decision one must needs make based on their individual circumstances.
