Amazon is slowly but steadily building up inventory on certified refurbished cameras (and other products), sold and shipped by Amazon herself. One of them coming up is the refurbished Nikon D5300 w/18-55 going for $580 with free shipping. There is no release estimate at the moment.
New Price Research series at Main Blog
We started a new price research series at the main blog, the Camera Price Charts. So far, we have two installments, 35mm Full Frame Cameras and APS-C DSLRs. More coming up as we close 2014.

Nikon A with DF-CP1 OVF kit drops to $500 (silver) or $520 (black)
If you are interested in the Nikon A, we have good-news/bad-news for you. We start with the bad news: the silver Adorama bundle with four extras for $400 is sold-out and no longer orderable. Also, Amazon’s lowest price is now $460.
The good news now: if you want the Nikon A and the DF-CP1 OVF optical viewfinder, the black Nikon A bundle has dropped from $570 to $520 at B&H Photo.
If you prefer the silver Nikon A and the DF-CP1 OVF, at B&H Photo, you can click the “Save $300 On Nikon DF-CP1 Optical Viewfinder” under “Savings Available” and add it. This allows you to add the DF-CP1 OVF kit for +$100. So $400 + $100 = $500.
If you prefer the silver Nikon A without any extras, it continues to sell for $400 at B&H Photo and Best Buy (store pickup).
Canon D-Rebel T5 w/18-55 & 75-300 & Bag & SD for $500

No coupons needed, just add to cart and checkout… The T5 w/18-55 kit goes for $450… The two lens kit with the 55-250mm instead of the 75-300 goes for $600…
NOTE: this is the T5 entry-level DSLR, not to be confused with the more advanced T5i.

(ENDED) Panasonic GM1 w/14-42mm (silver) for $500 [TOOS; limit 2]

This is not part of the lightning deals, so the price is market driven.
(ENDED) Orange Panasonic GM1 w/12-32mm for $500 (limit 2; TOOS)
As of a 12/29/14 recheck, the price is back to $6500… Oranges and carrots are good for you.

Limit two per customer during this sale. It is currently “temporarily out of stock” (TOOS) but you can order it and lock up the $500 price… This is not part of the lightning deals, so the price is market driven (can change or not change at any point in time).

Among the various offers at the clearance website Tanga.com, there is the Golla Sky Ultra-Zoom Camera bag offered for $6 with free shipping, with a limit of ten per customer. No specs and no specific model number are provided, so I can’t really tell how big it is. The closest thing to a size estimate in the product description is this phrase: “Your mirror less camera, semi SLR camera, or camcorder”.
