Minolta InstaPix 2 in 1 Bluetooth Camera and Printer for $110

Nothing lasts forever they say, but in the Walking Dead era, nothing stays dead forever either! Minolta (the brand name at least) is back with a camera! And it is the current Adorama “snapshot deal” which typically lasts for 24 hours or less. The sale is this [this phrase I picked up after all the repetition in Neil Gaiman’s American Gods [later adapted as a TV series on Starz]): the new condition Minolta InstaPix 2-in-1 Bluetooth Camera and Printer going for $110 with free US shipping for a limited time only. No coupon, no rebate, just add to cart and proceed to checkout while this limited-time promotion is running. You also earn 1% promotional rewards [free to join if you wish].

Speaking of Adorama, their latest deals and instant rebate offers number in the 5000+, so if you don’t have a wall-size screen [and the necessary time] to scroll through them all, you can filter them by manufacturer, price, product category, etc using the various options over there…

PS: this is indeed the first Minolta deal posted here since October 2014 when we moved this blog to WordPress. Wow, five years already 🙂

Polaroid PIC-300 Instant Camera for $50 w/FS

Fuji is not the only one making instant cameras in their surprise renaissance, the Polaroid naming rights owners are too and still-surviving the retail apocalypse JC Penney is offering the black color scheme of the Polaroid PIC-300 Instant Camera for $50 with free store pickup (where available/possible) or with free shipping (on all orders over $49).

They managed to outprice everyone, B&H Photo has it for $60, Amazon for $70.

But JC Penney doesn’t have the instant film for it on sale (the razor/blade thing?). They charge $15 for 10 exposures or $22 for 20 exposures. You can get 20 exposures (two 10-packs) for $18 by Amazon itself (limit two) and at B&H Photo, but free shipping is conditional. At Amazon, you have to be a Prime member or place a $25+ order. At B&H, you need a $49+ order. Adorama offers it for $20 with free shipping without a minimum purchase requirement.
