An early AM update of the Stock Status Tracker has good news for Pentax K-1 II hunters! B&H Photo is now offering a FREE Pentax D-BG6 Battery Grip with the purchase of the Pentax K-1 II body only for $2000 or with the K1-II with 28-105mm for $2400…
As of a 4/18/18 recheck, these sold out…
The Panasonic G9 body only goes for $1700 and it is in-stock at multiple authorized dealers as you can see at the Stock Status Tracker but we have even better news for you! Some authorized Panasonic dealers are now including the Panasonic DMW-BGG9 Vertical Battery Grip for FREE for the same price of $1700: Adorama and B&H Photo and Kenmore (eBay)…
If you are not fond of battery grips, you can instead get a handful of other photographic accessories for the same price of $1700 by Focus (eBay and Focus directly: digital slave flash, camera backpack, 64GB Sony M-series SDXC card, Wasabi charger and two extra batteries, and LED Video light.
Note that most of the above retailers are closed for Passovers, so orders will begin shipping next week.
The Sony a7 III body only is expected to arrive April 10 for $2000 [follow Stock Status Tracker for updates on that one]. But if you prefer to get the previous generation model, the a7 II body only, it goes for $1300 on its own, but B&H Photo is currently bundling it with the Sony battery grip for $1396 with free expedited shipping. This is the official Sony battery grip, model VGC2EM, not a 3rd-party grip. The grip on its own goes for $250.
As of a 3/21/18 recheck, the VG-XT1 battery grip is up to $200…
This coupon expired…
More B&H WPPI action. The Olympus E-M1 II body continues to go for $1700 at authorized dealers, same as last week when we posted our Mirrorless price charts, BUT if you also want to get the official Olympus HLD-9 Power Battery Grip (goes for $249 on its own), you can get them together as a bundle for $1898 at B&H Photo.

But that’s not all! The Fuji VG-XT1 Vertical Battery Grip goes for $99 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo after you “add to cart”. No need for login song and dance, you just have to press the add-to-cart little thing.
This is a classic case of the trade-offs between getting the “latest generation” model versus the “previous generation”. But in this case, for the price of an X-T2, you can get two X-T1 Graphite body onlies AND two battery grips 🙂
If you wish of a 35mm full frame Pentax DSLR but don’t want to pay $2000, the chances of discounts in the next few weeks increased as Pentax has revealed their second generation K1 II! This means that eventually the first generation K1 will do the discounting song and dance.
The new K1 II flagship is available as body only for $2000 and with HD Pentax-D FA L 28-105mm F3.5/5.6 ED for $2400! Pre-orders are accepted as follows:
+ K1 II Body with FREE Pentax D-BG6 Battery Grip for $2000 at Adorama and B&H Photo
+ K1 II with 28-105mm with FREE Pentax D-BG6 Battery Grip for $2400 at Adorama and B&H Photo
+ UPDATE: now B&H too offers a free battery grip with pre-order
Finally after almost two months, the DSLRs have “scored a goal”, the K1 II is the first DSLR announced in 2018, and the first 35mm full frame camera of 2018.
We already mentioned a couple of days ago that the Canon 6D is down to $999 and with your choice of a useful freebie but that’s not the only camera with useful freebies…
A couple of 3rd-party sellers at Amazon, the most recognizable of which being Cameta Camera are offering the Canon 6D II body only bundled with the BG-E21 Battery Grip for $1900, that’s the body only price without the battery grip at most authorized Canon USA dealers.
You’ve already broken the bank buying the Nikon D850 DSLR! You don’t have to break the bank with a battery grip if you are willing to go 3rd-party instead of buying the official Nikon battery grip. B&H Photo is offering their house brand Vello BG-N19 Battery Grip for Nikon D850 for $100 with free expedited shipping. This is in-stock and shipping as of the time of writing. Unlike most things Nikon D850 🙂
If you are a Fuji X-T1 owner, this deal may vertically grip your wallet. The new condition Fujifilm VG-XT1 Vertical Battery Grip is currently on sale for $99 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo after you add it to the shopping cart. It averages over 4 stars based on 59 customer reviews at B&H. This is a limited time offer, expiration time unknown.
If you have a Canon 6D or plan to buy one and need another battery grip or one that won’t break the bank Canon-style, the latest Adorama featured sales include the new condition Green Extreme BG-E13 Battery Grip for Canon EOS 6D for $33 plus shipping (around $5, may vary slightly by location).

Even mo(i)re Bargain Bin sales at Amazon Warehouse Deals, it is the “Used – LIKE NEW” condition Energizer ENG-C60D Battery Grip for Canon 60D for $14~ with free shipping for Prime members. The description says this is in damaged original packaging.
The Fuji X-T2 camera is not discounted. Camera manufacturer manufacturers are very protective of their price ranges in the MAP era after all. But if you happen to want to buy both the camera and its official battery grip at the same time, four of the four Fuji X-T2 kits are bundled together with the official Fuji VPB-XT2 Vertical Power Booster Battery Grip at B&H Photo at these prices:
+ X-T2 body with Grip for $1699
+ X-T2 w/18-55 and Grip for $1999
+ X-T2 w/35mm and Grip for $1996
+ X-T2 w/18-55 and 35mm and Grip for $2296
But wait, there’s more! The first two kits mentioned above (the two standard ones) are also offered at Adorama at the same prices, BUT Adorama includes additional freebies with purchase: 32GB Lexar SD, 24/7 holster bag, Corel software bundle, lens filter kit, and a few accesso-trinkets.
This sale ended, the price is now $230 as of 6/7/17…
If you want to get both the Fuji X-T2 and its official battery grip, you can buy them together for $100 more than the X-T2 body only on its own. Not only that, but Adorama bundles additional free accessories with it: 24/7 Traffic Collection holster, 32GB Lexar SDHC UHS-II U3 memory card, cleaning kit, memory card wallet, card reader, and the Corel software bundle.
But if you only want the battery grip, the Fujifilm VPB-XT2 Vertical Power Booster, it is currently on sale for $169~ with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of up to ten units per customer.
If you are comfortable with 3rd-party battery grips, the Green Extreme BG-E20 Battery Grip for the Canon 5D Mark IV DSLR (replaces Canon’s own BG-E20) is on sale for $59 with free shipping at Adorama which includes for free a ProOPTIC Glass Screen Protector (for the 5D IV, not the grip).
For a recap of some of the newly announced and newly released products, Adorama has created the New in May summary page. Some items on that page are in-stock, some are in pre-order, some are on sale.
Adorama also appears to be experimenting with a new design on their product pages, YMMV if you see it (web experiments are often spread out randomly or based on OS/browser/viewport combos online, Amazon constantly does this to the point of frustration), here’s a screenshot:
This lightning offer expired… Good until 11:59pm ET tonight, the Canon Battery Grip BG-E20 for the Canon 5D Mark IV DSLR is on sale for $279 with free shipping (price before sale $349). This is official Canon brand item, not third-party seller
If you like the idea of 3rd-party battery grips, B&H Photo is having a sale on their Vello brand of Battery Grips with 32 products participating. Most of the models are for Canon and Nikon DSLRs, but there are also a couple for the Panasonic GH-series and a trio for Sony a7** cameras… This too is part of the B&H Cyber specials.
This sold out…
