The Sanyo camcorder stick with an actual 3x optical zoom lens of the digital camera variety is offered again as a new-in-box Woot Moofi special for $80 plus the obligatory $5 shipping. Moofi specials can last from a few hours to a few days, unlike the daily Woot specials which expire within 24 hours.
There is a new camera special at Woot Moofi, it is a new-in-box Sanyo Xacti VPC-PD2BK camcorder stick with a 3x optical zoom and a 1/2.3x" sensor going for $80 plus the obligatory $5 shipping. This is new-in-box, not refurbished! Unlike the daily Woot specials, the Woot Moofi specials are good until they sell-out, so they can last from a few hours to a few days, depending on supply and demand.
The 8-pack of AA rechargeable Eneloop batteries (1500 recharges) is offered by a 3rd-party seller and fulfilled by Amazon for $21.50~. Free shipping if the total of your order is $25+ or if you are a Prime member. If you prefer a more recognizable 3rd-party seller, you can get it for $23 by Thomas Distributing, also fulfilled by Amazon. Check the customer-submitted pictures at the aforelinked Amazon product page to see how you can easily recognize the differences between the original 1000 times recharge and these 1500 times recharge Eneloops.
(Fulfilled by Amazon means that the order is processed and shipped by Amazon, not the 3rd-party seller, which makes them eligible for free Prime shipping or the usual $25+ free S&H)
If you are a Costco member, be sure to check your local store for specials as they often have the bigger packs at good prices!
Speaking of Eneloops, earlier this week, Sanyo Japan announced new black-color-scheme Eneloop Pro batteries with 2400mah. So far these have only been announced for the Japanese market.

Kodak is trying to undercut all the camcorder sticks with the $50 (yes, fifty) Kodak Mini video camera. This is a tiny video camera thang that takes microSD cards.

Sanyo's brand new VPC-PD2BK dual pocket movie camera with 1080p/30p video and 10mp/3x stills is available for pre-order at Amazon for $170. Camcorder sticks usually don't have a zoom lens, but this one does have a telescopic lens (37-111mm eq) that retracts all the way in.
Amazon is offering the Sanyo VPC-CA102 waterproof camcorder, yellow body color, for pre-order for $350, with an estimated shipping date of August 20, 2010.

Also, starting at 9am EST on Tuesday at the Amazon Gold Box they have two potentially interesting specials for desktop computers: The 9am EST special is teased as "Lightning-fast desktop memory" and the 11am EST special is teased as "Speed up your desktop computer". The products and prices are revealed when the Lightning Deals go live. We do not know ahead of time. It may be something good, or not. YMMV...
If you are a bang-for-the-buck type of a buyer, the never-ending parade of new models can generate some potentially good deals for you with previous/older models that may go overlooked because they are not as "shiny" as newer models. In this post, we round up cameras and gadgets selling for $200 or less (as of the time of writing).
We start with the Sanyo Xacti CG10 camcorder stick hybrid going for just $124 in the black body finish at Amazon, sold and shipped by Amazon itself. This is an older model but it has a "butterfly wing" (fold-out 3-inch LCD display), 5x optical zoom, 720p video, face chaser, SD/SDHC and things like that.
Looking for a bag and a monopod at the same time? Adorama has a bag+monopod bundle going for $60 with free shipping. It includes the Kata DR-467 Digital Rucksack (fits 2 DSLR systems, up to 17" laptop), and comes with a bonus National Geographic Tundra Monopod with QR Ball Head. No rebates!
If you are a fan of the good old IBM-branded Thinkpads, GearXS.com has a few of them (refurbished obviously) on special for under $200, more specifically models X40, T30 and T31. The X40 models have 12-inch screens, Pentium M 1.2GHz/1.5GHz, 1GB, 40GB HDD, Windows XP Pro. The other two have 14.1" screens with Pentium P4 1.6GHz, and same above in terms of memory, HDD and OS.
If you or someone you know is interested in photographing small things (perhaps for eBay or Craig's list), Adorama is offering a studio in a bag for $30 with free shipping. This includes a 16x16" light box, blue sweep, camera stand, and halogen lamps. It is an Adorama-branded product named "The DeShadow Box" (sounds like a movie title staring Matt Damon and Kiefer Sutherland!)
If you have a Nikon DSLR that cannot focus on its own and are looking for an affordable zoom lens, you can get the motorized Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG for $149 with free shipping from Amazon itself. This is not stabilized. There is also an APO version of the lens that goes for $200+. This model is non-APO.
Not quite related, but temporally linked are the next two items, available now for pre-order at Amazon. We start with the Nikon 200-400mm f4 VR II available for pre-order for the price of a small car ($7000) - but you knew that already!
Next up, begging for naming confusion and collision is a new Sanyo camcorder hybrid thang, the VPC-GH2, pre-orderable at $230. Sanyo is now part of Panasonic, and as you know, Panasonic has their own GH-series, the DMC-GH*.
If you like camcorder hybrids with a pistol-grip and a butterfly wing LCD display (I don't think that's an actual term), the Sanyo VPC-CG10 (black) is available for $149 with free shipping and handling at J&R World. Please note there is a new model announced, the VPC-CG20 which is currently in pre-order status for $200.
In other specials at J&R World we have the following:
+ Canon PowerShot S90 for $374 with free S&H
+ Veho MUVI Micro-DV Digital Camcorder for $66 with free shipping. This is today's deal of the day
+ Asus Internet Clock Radio for $60 plus shipping. Be sure to read multiple reviews on this one though, as we call seeing negative reviews
