Announcing SonyPriceWatch.com — Welcome to the Family

We often get asked “when will you make a site for Sony photographers?” — both from long-time Sony photographers jealous of our great deals on Canon gear, or from Canon Price Watch users who use both.

We’re pleased to launch SonyPriceWatch.com today. It features a Sony deals blog, as well as the full price tracking, price notifications, and used tracking, just like on Canon Price Watch.

You can subscribe to the new site via e-mail, to our RSS feed, follow on Twitter, or follow us on Facebook.

We are still working on the logistics for a Sony street price program, and will announce that later.

We greatly enjoy bringing great deals to the Canon community, and hope that we can do the same on the Sony side as well, with SonyPriceWatch.com!




Live Again: Sigma Contemporary 150-600mm + Dock $789 Adorama


This deal from Adorama is live again: the Sigma Contemporary 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM for Canon is now $789.00. You also get a free Sigma USB Dock for Canon Lenses ($59 of value). Free shipping is included.

With the free Sigma USB Dock for Canon Lenses (about $59 of value), this is a great deal versus the regular price of $989. Sigma lenses purchased from authorized dealers come with a 4-year Sigma USA warranty. Nikon mount is also available.



B&H DealZone: Vello FlashBoss TTL 2-Transceiver Kit for $79.90


Today’s B&H DealZone (one-day deal) features the Vello FlashBoss TTL 2-Transceiver Kit for Canon for $79.90. Save $60 from the regular price of $140.

The Vello FlashBoss TTL Transceiver enables wireless control over Canon flash functions, and enables triggering at distances up to 328′. The kit includes two multi-channel/group, shoe-mount transceivers – either can act as a transmitter or receiver. Each E-TTL / E-TTL II-compatible transceiver comes with a mini stand.



B&H DealZone: Spyder5PRO $95, Eneloop Charger + Batteries $35


Today’s B&H DealZone (one-day deal) features two really great deals. The Datacolor Spyder5PRO Color Calibration System is available for $94.95, which is the lowest price we’ve seen in over two years, and $5 less than the Amazon Prime Day deal!

Also featured is the Panasonic Eneloop CC55 Quick Charger Kit for $34.99. Compare with a regular price of $55. It includes eight Ni-MH AA batteries, four AAA batteries, and a CC55 charger.

Today’s B&H DealZone (one-day deal) features deals on a Benro Carbon Fiber tripod, as well as Think Tank Lens Changer V2.0 bags. These deals are today only or until sold out!



Hot: 8TB WD External Hard Drive for $127.50 at Best Buy via eBay


This hot deal from Best Buy (via eBay) is back! They have the WD easystore 8TB External USB 3.0 for only $127.50, today only when you use coupon code “PRONTO15” in-cart.

This deal is especially popular because WD are using either “Red” or “White” 8 TB Western Digital hard drives inside these external drive enclosures. Instructions are available on how to extract the drive from the enclosure. This is a fantastic deal as the Western Digital “Red” hard drives (suitable for NAS) typically go for about $279, making this about a $150 savings over buying the drive itself. “White” drives have similar performance characteristics to the “Red” drives and are also a great deal.

There is a great guide on reddit for identifying exactly what type of drive is in these and the various implications of it. While the vast majority of drives are WD Red, you may also get a ‘white-label’ drive with what appears to be the same performance characteristics.
