Four new Lowepro camera bags that are part of their Streetline line (four different styles, backpack, boxy, wedgy, messengery [I am “translating” the model names]) are now in-stock and ready to ship at B&H Photo with prices ranging from $100 to $200 (backpack). Free expedited shipping is included.
Tamrac 5421 Aria 1 Shoulder Bag for $10 w/free S&H
This one missed yesterday’s ever-growing bag round-up, but the price is definitely right here, you pay $10 with free shipping, and you have three different color schemes to choose from (or buy them all). It is the Tamrac 5421 Aria 1 Shoulder Bag in mild brown or mild green or mild pink (I am “translating” the color names) going for $10 with free shipping at B&H Photo. You get free shipping even if you buy only one. If your order total is $49+, your free shipping gets upgraded to expedited.
PS: this is an on-going offer, it just coincided that I am posting it around midnight eastern time (in other words, it is not the daily deal).

Eligible items mention this promotion on their product pages, under the “Special Offers and Product Promotions” and/or they have a promotional box in the middle of the screen (see annotated screenshot crop below).

Pelican S140 Sport Elite Backpack for $30 w/free S&H
The Pelican S140 Sport Elite Tablet Backpack is kinda misnamed, because it is not just a tablet backpack. You can also put camera gear in there. See the product pictures #4, #5, and #6 over there for more details. That, combined with minimal information on the manufacturer’s website meant that the invisible hand of the market pushed it to the clearance aisle. It is now on sale for $30 with free shipping at Adorama in the black color scheme or the green color scheme or the orange color scheme… There are no customer reviews at Adorama, but it averages 4.1 out of 5 at Amazon with 15 customer reviews. The reviews are fairly short though, so there’s still a bit of a leap of faith if you are a risk-averse shopper…
