Kodak AZ652 superzoom (65X OIS, RAW) for $300

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 😉

EU: Panasonic FZ82 superzoom for 279 euro

For those in the European Union, Amazon Germany is offering the new condition Panasonic FZ82 superzoom for 279 euro with free shipping within Germany. No VAT/customs within the EU. Shipping is extra outside Germany. This is a 60X superzoom camera but with a 1/2.3″ sensor, so you have the trade-offs of zoom range versus small sensor. Probably not ideal if you are planning building-size prints, but for the price that’s a lot of camera 🙂

PS: this is currently on sale for $300 at authorized USA dealers such as Amazon and Adorama and such…

EU: Used Sony RX10 Mark IV for 1448 euro

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…

Pre-order new compact Sony HX99 Travel Zoom (30X optical)

It looks like Sony may have potentially produced an interesting new compact travel-zoom [pending the usual reviews, samples, comparisons and such]. It is the new Cybershot HX99 with a 30x optical zoom (24-720mm eq) Vario-Sonnar T* lens, 4K video, 18mp Exmor R CMOS 1/2.3″ sensor, 10fps, Bionz X, and RAW [B&H has a detailed spec sheet under the “Specs” tab – see link below]! It is a small sensor but RAW is better than not having RAW for those who like to squeeze more out of their camera.

It is available for pre-ordering for $448 at Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon itself with a early November 8 release estimate.

As of a 12/12/17 AM recheck, Amazon’s own listing is gone, and the only ones offering it through Amazon are 3rd-party sellers for its usual price of $250. There is a slimmer of hope it may return since Amazon itself did not raise the price, but rather yanked their listing…

This is not a lightning deal, so expiration date is unknown. It averages 4.3 out of 5 based on 380+ customer reviews and has almost as many answered questions.
