One-Day Deal: PNY SD Cards 64GB $19, 128 GB $36, Pro 64GB $25


Amazon, B&H and Adorama are all featuring the same one-day deal on PNY Elite and Pro Elite SD cards. These are great prices for 95MB/s UHS Class 3 cards. We will caution that while the Amazon reviews for the “Elite” line average 4.5 stars out of 5, there are reports of defective cards, or not being recognized as U-3.

Luckily, also on sale today only is the newly released “Pro Elite” line, which sells for only $6 more than the “Elite” line (for the 64GB card), and doesn’t have the same negative reviews. Likely a worthy upgrade.

Check out all the PNY items that are on-sale today at Amazon — thanks David for the heads up!




Up to $300 off Apple MacBooks (12″, Early 2015) at B&H, from $999


B&H is offering up to $300 off 12″ Apple MacBooks, this weekend only. Most colors and configurations are available. The basic configuration for $999 is a fantastic deal.

We can’t resist posting this, because we’re huge fans of the 12″ Apple MacBook. Weighing in at just over 2 pounds, it’s the perfect weight and size to slip into a camera bag. There’s no fan. This means it runs very quiet, doesn’t get hot, and the battery lasts all day — we don’t even bring the charger. Photos and videos look amazing on the Retina display. They keyboard is surprisingly usable. (Did you know, most of these blog posts are written using this MacBook?)



Street Prices: 100-400 II $1749, 70-200 II $1749, 24-70 II $1599


We now have street price specials on three popular lenses.

As usual, these prices are for brand new lenses from Canon authorized dealers. Quantities are limited, and these prices are only available while quantities last.



Hot, Grey Market: 24-70mm II $1399, 5D Mark III $1899, AllNewShop


AllNewShop via eBay has two incredibly hot grey market deals. First is the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM for $1399.00, which is the lowest price seen yet for this lens. They also have the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $1899.00, which ties for the lowest price yet on this camera.

AllNewShop, also known as GetItDigital, is not an authorized dealer, so this item is grey market. A Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed. Readers report that the warranty has historically been honored by Canon USA, but given recent legal disputes, that may change.

Also beware a potential upsell call (stay firm and insist they process your order at this price). Other than this, they have been a reliable dealer.

Vanguard Alta Pro 283 CB 100 Tripod with Ballhead, $229 B&H


In addition to the other Vanguard tripod specials, B&H Photo Video now has a great deal on the Vanguard Alta Pro 283 CB 100 Tripod with SBH 100 Ballhead. It’s only $229.99.

This is a fantastic price for a carbon fibre tripod plus ballhead. The carbon fibre legs only weigh 4.77 lbs and supports a camera up to 18 lbs. The ballhead itself weighs just under a pound and regularly retails for $76 alone.
