CORRECTION
The previous two links to the NewEgg dailies in previous posts were pointing to Best Buy instead. They have now been corrected. This is another iteration of the “sticky cut and paste problem”. Similar to Cixin Liu’s “Three Body Problem” 😉
Basically the “cut” of the intended link does not work for some reason, and when you “paste”, you paste the previously copied link. When you are not totally concentrated in the HTML code, you do not notice it.
Then the next time, you simply “cut and paste” the previous NewEgg link, and once again, if you are not totally concentrated in the HTML code, you do not notice it.
And it continues until one of the readers, or until I notice it 🙂
Even though Adorama is closed for shipments until the end of the Passover holiday (4/25/22), they have changed their daily deals with a new set of offers and a new lens headlining the offerings. If they changed once, they may change again, so I do not know when these offers expire…
+ Sigma 28mm f1.4 DG HSM ART for $599 in Sony E, Canon EF and Nikon F
+ the Leica L is not on saLe
+ (Ghost Of) Minolta M35Z superzoom (35x optical) for $169

Running until April 29, Woot Plus (the longer-running Woot offers) is having an Amazon Prime Exclusive sale. To get these, you must have an Amazon Prime account which is linked to your Woot account. This linking needs to happen only once per lifetime.
Among the offers is something for the risk-takers, it is the international version without manufacturer warranty of the Canon SX620 HS superzoom bundled with some accessories for $210. Up to two per customer.
Per the bottom of the listing, you get a 90-day Woot limited warranty. But further up the listing says “(NO WARRANTY)”. The seller (or at least the one packaging it) appears to be “Deal-Expo” which offers no warranty, but Woot appears to be throwing in a 90-day warranty of their own. The extra accessories are pictured and listed…
Among the rest of the offers there’s a Fossil Kinley Crossbody bag [some general purpose bags can be repurposed as camera bags if you use camera inserts and protective material or bag-within-a-bag).
Among the sold-out items are a couple of Blackmagic cameras.

BLOG PRO TIP: if you see a price that starts with a 4 and it is unusually high, it probably means I did not press the SHIFT key correctly, so instead of a dollar sign ($), I typed a four (4) 🙂
PRO TIP of The DAY: a 10 minute primer on the various SSD options…

It is the refurbished red-color-scheme Canon SX 520 HS superzoom (40x optical) going for $150 with a 1-year warranty (per the Specs section)…
No matter how many extra lenses and smoke and mirrors smartphones use, they can’t replace a superzoom digital camera. Which is why they still exist 🙂
Which brings us to the Panasonic ZS70 with its Leica-blessed 30x optical zoom stabilized lens going for $298 with free US shipping and including for FREE by participating authorized deals the Panasonic Battery & Charger kit. But that’s not all. Some retailers are sweetening the pie even more with freebies of their own:
+ at B&H Photo you also get a 64GB Sandisk Extreme PRO SDXC
+ at Adorama it’s the usual accessorapalooza that also includes Corel software options…
Since we are speaking Panasonic ZS-series [we already mentioned the ZS100 offer yesterday], there’s also an offer on the ZS200 for $598 but no free Panasonic battery/charger kit. But retailers do include their own freebies as follows:
+ at B&H Photo you get the 64GB Sandisk Extreme PRO SDXC and a Ruggard camera case
+ at Adorama it’s the usual accessorapalooza
For both of these cameras you have the option to extend the original 1-year warranty to a 3-year warranty for FREE from Panasonic by registering. Details on the PDF file at the participating dealers above…

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…
Zoom-zoom to the Adorama daily deals until Friday at 10am ET [or earlier if sold out] for the following deals du jour:

Okay, silliness aside, the offer is the manufacturer refurbished Nikon Coolpix P1000 superzoom going for $697 with free US shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty. This camera has an insane 125x optical zoom ratio up to 3000mm eq ~ can your new iPhone 12 PRO MAX XL do this? 🙂
Also part of the sales is the Incase EO Travel Collection Hardshell Roller going for $70 with free US shipping…
The offers end on Thursday 10/15/20 at 10am eastern or earlier for any that may sell out ahead of its designated expiration time…

Surprise, surprise, it’s a CAMERA DAY at the Best Buy daily deals for Tuesday October 6 of the Crazy Year of 2020, the headliner is the Melisandre-red [okay, it’s some kind of a plum color scheme] refurbished Nikon Coolpix B500 superzoom, model 26507B, going for $150. This is a AA-powered camera (four of them) with a 40x optical zoom, something a smartphone can only do through tortured algorithms 😉
Among the rest of the Best Buy daily deals there’s the 64GB Sandisk Nintendo Switch microSDXC for $19, a 10-inch Aluratek touch-screen digital picture frame [that looks a bit like the abandoned Windows Phone UI] for $140, and a 48-pack of Insignia single-use AA batteries for $12, a mere 4 batteries per $1.
Meanwhile at the Woot daily deals there’s scratch and dent iPhone X [can’t use plural because that’s a different model {DAILY REMINDER: do not put a final “s” in your product’s model name}], Amazon Fire tablets, and a 17.3″ inch HP laptop. In the era of big-screen smartphones and tablets and 2-in-1s, a 17.3-inch laptop feels like you are using an …aircraft carrier!
It’s a camera day at the Adorama daily deal good until Tuesday 9/15/20 at 10am ET [or earlier if sold out] you can get the manufacturer refurbished Nikon P1000 superzoom for $770 with free US shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty…
With a crazy 125x optical zoom that goes up to 3000mm this is perhaps in a separate category, telescope-zoom or humble-zoom? 🙂
Thursday is upon us with 4+1 B&H daily deals good until 11:59pm ET [or earlier if sold out]:
+ BOLT VS-570 Wireless TTL Flash for $50 in your choice of Nikon, Canon, OlyPan, Sony (MIS), and The Fujees

A rare occasion, the headliner Best Buy deal of the day for Tuesday 6/15/20 is a camera! A refurbished red camera! It’s the Canon Powershot SX720 HS superzoom (40x optical) going for $150. Under “Specifications” it says it comes with a 1-year warranty…
Among the other daily deals there’s a $150 adjustable standing-desk converter, “phone soaps” with UV-C sanitizer [if the hand sanitizer gels don’t kill us, the UV radiation will finish the job!], and various power-related things… And an 800 lumen Insignia rechargeable flashlight for $29 [of potential light painting interest]…
Among the other daily deals, Woot has Amazon devices, a 21.5″ HP Elite Display, and MSI laptops and desktops among others… The Amazon mothership has Amazon devices on sale as well golf-related accessories… And at NEWEGG’s there’s a sexy 14″ ASUS Zenbook for $890, an i7-9700 Coffee Lake for $320, and the usual assortment of computer accessories…
The current Adorama daily deal good until May 1st at 10am ET (or earlier if sold out) is the manufacturer refurbished Nikon Coolpix B600 superzoom (60x optical, EN-EL12 LiIon battery) going for $150 with free US shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty…
Meanwhile the Adorama daily deal (changes at 10am eastern time every day) is the new condition Minolta MN12Z compact zoom digital camera going for $90 with free shipping.
This is not an old camera from the early 2000s found in a warehouse but a new Minolta-branded camera. It has a 12x optical zoom lens with OIS, 1-year warranty, 20mp sensor, Wifi, SDXC card support, 720p video, 2.7″ LCD, etc… Did I mention this is in the purple color scheme? Sorry, no “Deep Purple” edition available 🙂
OR if you are a fan of used cameras, you can get it for $59 in “Used – Excellent’ condition over there. Not sure if the used price is coupled with the daily deal price (eg it will go up when the new condition price increases after the daily deal expires)…
Speaking of Adorama, they are currently running a BIG 4-DAY SALE with over 500 items participating. Too many obviously to list here individually, use the various filters on the left hand side over there to look for items of interest (eg by manufacturer, product type, discount percentage, price range, etc)…
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…
The new condition Panasonic ZS200 goes for $699 in new condition at authorized dealers but if you are fond of the used cameras, and you are also a Prime member, you can get the black color scheme in “Used – Very Good” condition for $469 by Amazon Warehouse Deals or pay $20 more to get it in “Used – Like New” condition. This is a 15x optical zoom, closer to the travel zoom kind than let’s say those 125x optical zoom cameras 🙂
Why couldn’t they call them “euro dollars” to make it easier? 🙂
This time Amazon Germany “defeats” The Mothership as they are having a Prime deal on the new condition Nikon Coolpix P1000 superzoom for the James Bond approved price of 777 euro. This has “just” a 125x optical zoom lens. And there was a time when there was awe in the camera forums when we got a 12x optical zoom 🙂
Zoom-zoom! For a limited time, Amazon itself is offering the new condition Panasonic ZS60 travel zoom in the black color scheme for $250 with free shipping with up to three cameras per customer at the sale price. This is a limited time offer but not a lightning deal, so there’s no ticking clock on the offer.
With many and more superzoom cameras out there, there are plenty of choices out there, making it a pleasant headache in deciding which one(s) to get 🙂
Speaking of Amazon, one of their Wednesday daily deals is a sale on renewed Microsoft Surface Studios of the first generation kind with prices ranging from $1359 (i5, 8GB, 1TB) to $1885 (i7, 32GB, 2TB)…
