Ricoh Theta V 360 converges to $329-ish in three different ways

We have a play in three acts for the Ricoh Theta V 360 4K spherical camera. First up, you can get it for $329 with free US shipping at Massdrop with a 1-year Ricoh warranty. It will ship in mid-April by the “vendor” [it does not specify who/what]…

Next up, you can get it for $377 but you also get a $50 B&H Photo gift card at B&H Photo, making it a virtual $327 assuming you have good use for the gift card…

Last but not least, you can get it for $427 but with a $100 Adorama gift certificate at Adorama, making it a virtual $327 assuming you have good use for the gift card…

PS: I turned in-browser spell-checking back on again, so random misspellings should be cut down. I turned it off because the browser spell-checking can get jumpy spell-checking the long lightning deals posts (which are full of non-words, such as “href”). On the other hand, the two keyboard approach (mechanical in front for most of the text typing; and the previously mentioned Logitech G105 for macros, keypad, and night light) appears to have significantly improved the typing/writing aspects of doing this 🙂 The danger of this is falling into the mechanical keyboard addiction ~ I suppose I could start a mechanical keyboard blog if that happens 🙂

PS: all fixed-lens cameras that are not camera-cameras are now under the Other Cameras category (action cameras, smartphones, VR cameras, 360 cameras, drones, etc).
