What to Expect from Amazon on “Prime Day”, Tuesday July 12th

Posted July 11, 2016 at 10:13 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 8 comments.

We’re coming up to Amazon’s second annual “Prime Day”, on Tuesday July 12th. “Prime Day” is Amazon’s one-day shopping event, which they claim to have “more deals than Black Friday”. Access to the deals is restricted to Amazon Prime members only. As usual, CanonPriceWatch will be watching the deals.

Don’t expect deals on Canon cameras or lenses on Prime Day. Canon items are restricted by a MAP year-round and Prime Day is no exception. You can browse our summary of last year’s deals for examples, but we expect to see great prices on memory cards, filters, bags, Rokinon lenses, color calibration, studio equipment, and perhaps a Sigma lens or two. Deals sell out quickly, so be prepared to jump on them (or waitlist if you miss out.)

As the deals are restricted to Amazon Prime members only, now would be a good time to sign-up for a free 30-day trial of Prime if you haven’t yet already. Be sure to check back on Tuesday for the deals.
