Amazon Prime Day Starts July 16th, 3 PM ET, Here’s What to Expect

This year’s Amazon “Prime Day” will start in 24 hours from now! The deals start at 3 PM ET on Monday July 16th and run until 3 AM ET on Wednesday July 18th. Amazon’s Prime Day will have many exciting deals, many restricted to Amazon Prime members only. Just like the previous three years, CanonPriceWatch will be watching all 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 last year’s live-updating post or the same from 2016 for examples of what was available. 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.) It is also a perfect time to pick up Amazon devices (such as Echo, Echo Dot, Fire TV, Fire Tablet, Kindle and assorted subscriptions.)

As many 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 Monday 3 PM for the deals!



Prime Day Deal: Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 for $225 (Astrophotography!)


Amazon Prime Day is still continuing — they have the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 Ultra Wide-Angle for Canon for $225.00. This lens is regularly $339. This deal expires at 1:50 AM or when sold out. This is the lowest price seen yet for this lens!

The Lonely Speck calls this “arguably the best, most affordable lens for astrophotography”.

As with other Prime Day deals, this deal requires an Amazon Prime membership and is only available while quantities last. You see the discounted price at checkout (if you have an Amazon Prime Membership or sign-up for a free trial.)
