Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
Good until 3:05pm ET (or earlier if sold out) there is a Prime Day lightning deal on select Fotodiox lens mount adapters for various older camera systems. In addition to the Prime Day discount, some of them have a green clip-on coupon for 20% off that you see on the product page. I don’t know if the coupon discount is compatible with the Gold Box discount.
The 20% off clip-on coupon is for everyone, so you can get some discount even if you are not a Prime member…
Good until 2:45pm ET (or earlier if sold out), Prime Members can get the new condition GoPRO HERO5 Black in e-commerce packaging for $150 with free shipping. As of the time of writing, it is 18% claimed…
Some of the other day-long Prime Day 2019 sales that I have yet to mention:
+ new condition 10.5″ iPad PRO with Cellular (previous generation) for $629 to $699 (storage varies from 256GB to 512GB; some colors cost more than others)
+ AiO, Tablets & Laptop sale, 27 options from Acer, Samsung, HP, ASUS, Dell, LG, Lenova, etc
+ Computer Gaming sale with computers and monitors with over 40 options from ASUS, MSI, Razer, Acer, CyberPower, Dell, iBuyPOWER, Corsair and more
+ Chromebook sale with 15 options from Acer, ASUS, Samsung, HP and Lenova with prices ranging from $145 to $600; with the Web bloating and ChromeOS adding features and OS bloat, it is a good idea to go for 4GB RAM, not 2GB RAM for Chromebooks ~ unless the usage plan is strictly uni-tasking with hunt-and-peck typing
Earlier today, I posted Part #1 of the Amazon Germany Prime Day round-up. In this post, we have Part II, more interesting things in the Prime Day Gold Box that I had not previously posted:
+ Canon RP body with 35mm f1.8 RF Macro IS STM lens and Adapter for 1670 euro
+ Canon RP body for 1250, with 24-105/4L IS RF and adapter for 2095
+ Canon 80D body for 730 euro
+ Canon EOS 250D with kit lens in white for 569
+ Canon 6D with 24-105 IS STM for 1670
+ Canon M50 w/kit lens for 525, two lens kit (macro, not 2nd zoom) for 629
+ LOTS of Canon lenses, too many to list here individually (eleven of them)
+ Canon G7X II for 450, G9X II for 300 to 325 euro
+ some video camcorders too
Good until 7pm ET on Monday or earlier if sold out, also part of the Prime Day 2019 party, you can pay $40 and get a $50 iTunes gift card. This is a plastic gift card delivered by mail. It is 15% claimed as of 8:44am ET. Of interest especially if you like to buy camera and photography apps in the App Store, rent/buy photography-related docs/videos/movies and e-books and such. And of course anything else you want from iTunes.
This too is restricted to Prime members. But if you want to jump in, you can start a 30-day FRee Prime trial and jump in as many deals as you want right away…
Prime members, grab your e-wallets. Or more specifically your Amazon e-wallets because you have until 1:30pm ET today (or earlier if sold out) to decide whether you want to buy the new condition Rokinon 35mm f1.4 Auto Focus FE lens for the Sony E-system for $441~ with free shipping. This price is for Prime members only. It is 9% claimed as of 8:22am ET so it’s unlikely to sell out…
If you don’t feel like diving into the big Amazon Gold Box, this is a pre-filtered link that shows most of the day-long Camera & Photo Prime Day deals. Of instant camera and instant print action interest they have in-cart discounts for Prime members only. The price you see for these offers is what everyone pays. When you are logged on with a Prime account and add it to the shopping cart, the price will drop in the shopping cart. As usual, it has to be the correct seller (Amazon itself or designated 3rd-party seller)…
+ Fujifilm Instax Mini 26 + Rainbow Film Bundle for $51 minus 20% off = $40~
+ HP Sprocket Portable Photo Printer, X7N07A, Print Social Media Photos on 2×3 Sticky-Backed Paper for $60
+ Polaroid Snap Touch Portable Instant Print Digital Camera with LCD Touchscreen Display for $171 minus 30% off in-cart = $120
+ version 2.0 for $180 minus 30% off = $126
+ PRO TIP for Windows users: WIN + R brings us the search box, type “calc” and get the calculator ~ or something like that
Sandisk and their new WD overlords are having their own sale box in the Amazon Prime Day 2019 deals. Among the many items in the Sandisk and WD Storage sale:

REMINDER: you have to be a Prime member to participate in this madness. If you are not, you are not left out however ~ all you have to do is start a 30-Day Prime FREE Trial and you can start buying right away. Add an entry in your calendar when the 30 days are over, so you can decide whether to let it auto-renew or cancel it manually before the 30 days are over…
Grab your Amazon e-wallets! There are two potentially interesting on-topic deals of the day for Thursday 6/13/19 at the Amazon USA Gold Box:
+ the KODAK SCANZA Digital Film & Slide Scanner goes for $128, sold by 3rd-party seller “DB Roth” and fulfilled by Amazon. The shipping estimate has shifted to a few days away, a sign typically that it is starting to run out

It’s bag time once again at the Amazon USA Gold Box, this time, running until Friday at 11:59pm pacific (or earlier if sold out) they have a sale on Pelican cases with a total of 32 options available and prices ranging from $108 to $292. Limit two per option per customer but some are available in multiple colors, so you may be able to work around the two item limit by selecting different color schemes…
Printer action that is a bit of a surprise in the Amazon USA Gold Box, for the price of $180 you get an HP 2-Printer bundle:
+ HP Tango smart home printer (sorry, the printer cannot dance unless you put it on a very shaky surface while printing)
+ HP Sprocket Portable Photo Printer (sprocket yes, but Hot Pockets are not included!
Limit two bundles per customer. Reviews can be found on the individual product pages of each printer ~ shown further down the Amazon product page…
It’s Chromebook time of the Samsung kind. Along with the Levis jeans sale, the Monday Amazon USA Gold Box has a Samsung Chromebooks sale, with three models ranging from $200 to $400 with something for everyone!
The $200 model is the Chromebook 3 with a 11.6″ screen, 4GB RAM, 64GB on-board and Celery N3060 processor…
The other two models are 2-in-1s with touchscreens and with included Samsung S-Pens that are nestled inside the laptop body.
The PLUS has a 12.2″ screen (1920 x 1200, 4GB RAM, 64GB on-board, microSD slot with up to 400GB cards, Celery 3965Y, support for Google Play in parallel to ChromeOS [can be turned off is not needed]. This is the second generation (V2) model. This adds a USB-A port to the first generations two USB-C ports, so that’s one less dongle to carry. For HDMI or Ethernet, you need a USB-C/USB-A dongle.. It averages 4.7 out of 5 based on 21 customer reviews and it has nearly 50 answered questions… I haz the first generation and it’s really a great value for money if you can stomach Google-everywhere 🙂
The $400 model is the PRO in the line but it is the first generation with a 3.8 out of 5 based on 404 [foreboding number?] customer reviews. It has a 12.3″ screen with 2400 x 1600 [but Samsung recommends running it at a lower resolution for optimal performance] with 4GB RAM, 32GB on-board, Core M3-6Y30, 12.3″ display, etc.
When upgraded to the latest OS versions, you should also see an option for “Linux Beta”.
Limit two of each option per customer at the sale price. Sale ends on Tuesday at 3am ET or earlier for any that sell out.
On the other hand, if you don’t need the extra features (eg S-Pen), and you feel like a boldly-going explorer of a new brand, the Amazon page recommended this $250 Poin2 Chromebook (Poin2 is the brand name) with 4GB RAM, 32GB storage, 14-inch screen, 180-degree hinge, IPS, touchscreen, MediaTek quadcore, SD card reader, HDMI, USB 3.0 Type A, USB-C, etc. There’s also a $3.47 off discount if you select “No Rush Shipping”… This is the first time I heard of this brand, so this is strictly for the boldly-going types…
A tech mix of potentially interesting offers in the Tuesday Amazon USA Gold Box with the following offerings running until 11:59pm pacific time:
+ Anker charging sale (14 options) including Power Banks, AC USB Chargers, cables, car chargers, wireless chargers and such
+ HyperX gaming sale including headsets, keyboards, and the like
+ Sabrent SSD storage, three options, $40 to $200
The PoNYs are back in the Amazon USA Gold Box for Saturday with the return of the PNY sale featuring 17 storage products, including their Elite Performance SDXC cards with the 64GB going for $16 ,the 128GB for $28, and the 256GB for $60.

Thursday is here and more camera related offers appear in the Amazon Germany Gold Box among many other offers. With Amazon not being as big in the EU as they are in the USA market, Amazon Germany is having more competitive offers than the USA relatively-speaking, but outside the EU, you have to consider customs/taxes and shipping and such…
