Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
For a limited time, the official Canon USA is having a sale on select refurbished Powershot digital cameras that 18 options, including G-series, SX-series and Elphs. As of the time of writing, some of them are out of stock.
Of the 18, the refurbished G7 Mark III for $500 is also getting a FREE Sling Backpack 100S.
UPDATE Tuesday 12:42am ET
The black color scheme has sold out at Adorama and it cannot be ordered. BUT the silver Fuji X100F remains in-stock and orderable for $749!
Also, when you expand the optional “Special Offer” section, there are combined purchase discounts on select Fuji memory cards. For example you can add a 128GB Fuji microSDXC for +$11 to your order. The discounts of the six cards offered are stackable with each other and you can buy anywhere from zero to six (one of each) of them…
As of this recheck, this offer has not been price-matched at B&H Photo (both colors remain at $899), nor Amazon herself…

No doubt the Fuji X100 series was one of the most influential photographic cameras of the previous decade. And if you want to get a piece of the action during Black Friday season, B&H Photo has a nice offer for you, the new condition Fuji X100F is currently on sale for $899 with a free 64GB Sandisk Extreme PRO SDXC and a camera bag. This for the black color scheme.
The silver Fuji X100F also goes for $899 but doesn’t get the two freebies.
IF you are fond of used camera gear, the used silver X100F goes for $647 at B&H Photo, while the used black X100F goes for $700…
Remember, B&H won’t be accepting orders between Friday 4:30pm ET and Saturday 5:45pm ET, so plan your purchases accordingly!
As Wikipedia reminds us, the X100F came out in January 2017 and it is the “previous generation” model, with the X100V being the “current generation” that came out earlier this year…
And now some compact/travel-zoom action, the Panasonic ZS100 with its 1″ sensor and 10x Leica-blessed f2.8-5.9 stabilized lens is on sale for $398 at authorized Panasonic dealers, which also include for FREE the Panasonic Battery and Charger Travel Bundle. But that’s not all, some retailers include additional freebies of their own as well:
+ at B&H Photo you also get a 32GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC and RJ camera pouch
+ at Adorama you get a 2pk of 32GB Sandisk Extreme PRO SD cards, a camera pouch, an extra Green Extreme battery [in addition to the Panasonic Battery and Charger bundle], Corel software and a few trinkets
+ at Amazon various 3rd-party sellers have bundles of their own
We got used to crazy superzoom ratios in fixed lens cameras, but a 10X optical zoom is no small change. This covers 25-250mm equivalent, plenty flexible…
Temptation! If you love Big Sensor Primes and you also love your wallet, STOP READING!!!
Available now for pre-ordering is the brand new “Street Edition” Ricoh GR-D III with a pre-order price of $1200 at B&H Photo et al… Check your favorite camera review sites and forums for comparisons to previous models and Fuji competitors…
With so many mirrorless systems and lens options, many of which are shrinking in size too, fixed lens cameras are becoming a harder sell for some, but thankfully not all. This camera is a bit of the opposite of the Sony RX10 Mark IV, in fact so opposite you could have them both as complements and compliments too 🙂
The standard kit includes “Street Editions” of the mini viewfinder, leather strap, ring cap, and “Display Box” ~ in addition to the usual accessories (battery, cable, power adapter, hot shoe cover, etc)…
Sony was doing the “New Editions” thing before Huawei (out of mordant need) made it cool with their Google Play “New Edition” smartphones. So back to Sony, their new RX100 VA edition (buffer size boost and other fixes and improvements) goes for $848~ in new condition at authorized dealers, but if you want a nice bundle with extras, for a limited time, B&H Photo is offering this VA bundle for $909. So that extra $61 gets you:
+ extra Watson-brand battery
+ 32GB Sandisk Extreme PRO SD card
+ 2-year Square Trade Spills-n-Drops warranty
On their own, the three items go for $20 + $13 + $64, so basically if you want the Square Trade warranty, you are paying less with the bundle and get the card and battery as a bonus…
PS: speaking of the RX100 cameras, they have amazing staying power for a digital camera, even defeating Leica! Despite all the newer RX100-series models, even the first generation continues to be available as a current product ($399 new, $279 used, at B&H)…
If you are mesmerized by the Fuji X-system, you are in luck and your wallet is potentially in tears as there’s a new round of Fuji Instant Savings running at B&H Photo that includes both camera kits and lenses on their own. Fuji cameras may be easier to adapter-use 3rd-party lenses on, but for fans of native AF lenses the options are fewer than other mirrorless systems, which keeps the Fuji lens prices without a lot of competition. People are not even willing to let go of the kit lenses when selling the cameras 🙂
The sale includes the X-T30 with the 15-45 and freebies for $999, the 16-55 f2.8 lens with freebies for $900, and so on… Too many camera kits (X-T200, X-E3, X-A7 in the adorkable mint-green color scheme, etc) and lenses to list here individually…
In addition to those, the sale also includes some of the Fuji medium format gear along with their fixed-lens compact cameras (aka RAWsumers)… There’s also a couple of stray Finepix P&S cameras (of the water/elementproof kind)…
If you are a fan of the Sony RX-series of cameras, we have good news for you, there are some RX-series Instant Savings promotions that include the beastly speed-demon beast of the RX 10 Mark IV for $1598 with a free 64GB Sony SF-E UHS-II SDXC card and a RJ camera bag… Also participating in the sale are selections from the RX1* full-framer series and a gazillion different RX100 series models along with a couple of stray superzoom Cybershots…
But that’s not all. For fans of the E-system, they have over 80 instant savings options, too many to list here individually but you can easily peruse them and filter them over there…
Big Sensor Prime fans unite and take over! Fuji has official announced their all new X100V big sensor prime with a 26mp APS-C X-Trans sensor and a new 23mm f2 Fujinon lens (glued to the camera of course). The pre-order price is $1399 and the camera is estimated to be released on March 31st in 2020…
Pre-orders are accepted at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon itself…
Also offered for pre-order is the official Fuji case for said camera for $80…
If you want the new condition Canon G9X II rawsumer, it is currently on sale with some modest freebies, for $399 at Adorama and B&H Photo…
IF however you want the Canon Pixma PRO 100 printer, and you do not object to mail-in rebates and prepaid AMEX gift cards, B&H Photo has a Pixma bundle for $739 minus a $350 prepaid AMEX gift card = $389. The bundle also includes the printer’s trusty sidekick, the 50pk of 13×19″ Luster photo paper.
The camera is available in either the black or the silver color schemes…
IF you are not afraid of old fashioned mail-in rebates and gift cards, and you have a rawsumer hankering with the Canon G9X II, B&H Photo has an offer for you, a G9X II + Pixma PRO 100 printer bundle for $425 after the $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX gift card). You also get the printer’s trusty sidekick, the red 50pk of photo paper. The offer ends on 9/30/19 or earlier if sold out. As usual, check the deadlines for mail-in rebate submission and such…
Zoom-zoom! The instant savings Panasonic train brings us the new condition Panasonic FZ1000 rawzoomer (16X optical but on a 1-inch sensor) down to $500 with various sellers at amazon.com offering a variety of freebies (eg look at the “Sponsored” listing over there)… The same price with a different set of freebies are available at B&H Photo and Adorama…
Meanwhile USED prices begin at $373~ in condition 8+ at B&H Photo…
Note that there is a second generation model out now, the FZ1000 II goes for $900 in new condition at authorized dealers…
It’s up to you to sort out the various versions of the Sony RX100 and its competitors, but if you are interested in the RX100 Mark III and you are a Prime member, thanks to the 20% off Warehouse Deals in-cart discount you can get it for $393~ in “Used – Like New” (damaged original packaging) condition by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself. Look for them as the seller – that black-green “amazon warehouse” logo in the “Seller Information” column…
BUT if you are not a Prime member, hope is not totally lost ~ over there, KEH Camera is offering it for $429 in “Used – Good” condition and with a 180-day warranty…
From the blast to the past we now move on to something more modern, also made possible by the Warehouse Deals 20% off promotion for Prime members. The new condition Fuji X100F Big Sensor Prime goes for $1300 at authorized Fuji dealers…
… but IF you are a Prime member and you are willing to go “The Way of the Used”, you can get the black Fuji X100F color scheme in “Used – Very Good” (damaged original packaging) for $802~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself. Look for them as the seller in the listings. The other two X100F colors go for less by AWD itself but they don’t show the 20% off discount [I haven’t tested them in the shopping cart to be 100% certain they are not eligible for the discount]…
If you are not a Prime member but are very tempted by this offer, all you have to do is start a 30-day Free Trial and you can buy it within seconds…
The RAWsumers are alive and kicking and getting freebies too! The 1-incher Panasonic LX100 Mark II is currently on sale for $898 with free US shipping and it includes the Panasonic Travel Pack for free, an extra DMW-BLG10 Li-Ion Battery and a Panasonic charger (the “Panasonic Travel Bundle”). But that’s not all! These two retailers below are ALSO including freebies of their own:
+ at B&H Photo you get a 32GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC card and a Ruggard camera pouch
+ at Adorama you get the Corel software kit (select Mac or PC in the options over there; includes AfterShot PRO and Painter among others), and 32GB Sandisk Extreme PRO SDHC, and a small 24/7 TC holster, and a card reader, card wallet and the obligatory cleaning kti
Good for Monday in the Amazon Germany time zone, among their Gold Box daily deals, there is a Sony cameras sale that includes the a6500 body only for 1065 euro, the 55-210mm lens for $199 (either color), the monster RX10 II for 797 euro, the RX100 II for 389 and the A550 action cam for 129 euro. There’s also a TV and 4K Bluray player…
We have another in-stock alert, this time on the other side of the pond. The new Ricoh GR-D III big sensor prime is now in-stock for 899 euro at Amazon Germany, sold and shipped by themselves…
UPDATE 3/24/19 at 1:17am ET: in the US, Amazon itself is taking orders for its starting price of $899 in the all-encompassing “temporarily out of stock” status, while Adorama and B&H Photo are marked as “Coming Soon”…
UPDATED 3/22/19 at 1am ET: In the US, the camera is now in-stock and ready to ship for its starting price of $900 at Adorama with free expedited shipping … Amazon itself went from a March 22nd estimate to “currently unavailable”… B&H Photo has a March 25 release estimate… As it is often the case with higher-demand lower-availability cameras, there’s often a bit of chaos during the initial release, so dates and estimates may change early and often. A silver lining that it mayhaps is a great choice since others are jumping in early as well 🙂 ..
Adorama does not have conventional daily deals but on occasion they have “snapshot deals” which are limited time offers… One such offer running right now is the new condition Kodak AZ652 superzoom going for $300 with free US shipping… This has a 65x optical zoom with OIS (24-1560mm EQ, f2.9-6.7), 5fps, RAW but on a 1/2.3″ backlit CMOS, flip-out LCD, 1cm macro, EVF, Wifi, 400 CIPA, 21oz body-only, etc.
PS: for our younger viewers, Kodak is not a company created by the famous rapper to sell merchandise. It is an older company, based in upper New York state. The name though for camera marketing purposes is owned by one of the brand-remilking companies, not by the OG Kodak, and still not by the rapper Kodak 😉
It’s Sony time on Thursday at the Amazon Germany Gold Box with a total of eight Sony camera-related products as follows:
+ a7 II with 28-70 for 1142 euro
+ a6300 with 16-50 for 689
+ 50mm f1.8 FE for 169
+ a77 II body only DSLR for 799
+ RX100 Mark IV for 579 euro
+ HX90 superzoom (30X optical) for 276
+ two camcorders for 175 to 1019
Also part of the Thursday action are Lenovo tablets and a few laptops of various manufacturers, along with some TP-Link products
It’s another camera and tech busy day at the Amazon Germany Gold Box. Among the various offerings there, prices below in euro of course since this is sold in the EU:
+ Sony E-system sale including:
++ A7 II body for 1145
++ a6000 with kit lens for 444
++ a77 II DSLR body for 809 [this DSLR sings Pearl Jam’s “I’m still alive”]
++ RX100 IV rawsumer for 769
++ RX10 II rawsumer for 798 [daily reminder: it is the RX10 IV that has the blazingly fast AF]
++ HX60 travelzoom (30x optical, can your smartphone do this?] for 169
++ seven E-system lenses, a mix of primes and zooms from 182 to 715
+ various Sony electronics, lots of whiskey (!!!) {winters are cold and the white walkers are coming!), various home/household/fashion items, and this SECACAM wildlife camera bundle for 159 euro (includes remote, card, batteries, etc)
With so many DSLR and mirrorless camera bodies and kits and lenses under the price, some may hesitate to buy a fixed lens camera at the Sony RX10 price range. But but but but if you can’t resist the temptation of an all-in-one camera that ticks soooooooooooooo many boxes and offers speed-demon autofocus for its kind…
… the new condition RX 10 Mark IV is now down to $1598 at authorized Sony dealers such as Adorama (with 1% rewards, 32GB Extreme PRO, Corel software, 72mm MC UV, etc) and Amazon and B&H Photo (with free bag and 64GB Extreme SDXC)….
PS: if the speed-demon autofocus of the Mark IV does not tempt you, and you can buy electronics favorably to your wallet in the EU, good for Wednesday NOV-14-2018, you can get the new condition Sony RX 10 Mark III for 999 euro as part of the Amazon Germany daily deals…
RAWsumer time! The brand new Panasonic LX100 II with its Four Thirds sized sensor and its 24-75mm equivalent f1.7-f2.8 Leica blessed lens, and modern era “smartphone” features (wifi, bluetooth, touchscreen) and such is now in-stock and shipping at its starting price of $1000 at Adorama (with various freebies, including Corel software, 32GB Extreme card, camera bag, etc) and at Amazon (freebies bundles by 3rd-party sellers) and B&H Photo…
It is not available for pre-ordering just yet, but it will become available at some point in time! Yes, Zeiss is in the digital camera game too with their brand new ZX1, a 35mm full frame fixed lens camera with a [of course] prime lens of the 35mm f2 kind. Early details and specs of the camera can be found at B&H Photo…
Speaking of B&H and Zeiss, they are offering the new condition ZEISS Distagon T* 18mm f/3.5 for $895 and 4% promotional rewards [around $36 to be used in future purchases] in your choice of Canon or Nikon system…
Price aside, the Sony RX10 Mark IV mayhaps is the closest to a “do it all Paul” type of a camera with a 1″ sensor, a solid superzoom range with OIS, fast autofocus, 4K video, etc, etc, etc. But the price is quite high for this model. If you are tempted but you are fond of buying used, as of the time of writing, the German Amazon Warehouse Deals has it in USED condition for 1448 euro. Note however that this is repackaged and the battery is missing [uses typical Sony batteries] and has small scratches…
The Sony RX10 Mark IV is the leader of the RX10 series but with a price that is not that far from 2000 (Euro or Dollars), one who loves the idea of the RX10* models but has a fiscally strict spouse-CFO may be interested in the original model, the first generation RX10, it is currently on sale in new condition for 650 euro by Amazon Germany itself with a maximum of two units per Amazon account at the sale price.
One could buy almost three of these for the price of one Mark IV with its 4K and bigger lens and speed-demon auto-focus and such…
EU residents pay no additional VAT/customers. Outside the EU, it depends on your location and situation…
