If you’ve been thinking of buying a Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM lens, you may want to wait a while if Amazon is your platform of choice. The lens is currently ridiculously overpriced after Amazon tried to fix the initial mistake. They “fixed” it twice, so the lens now retails at $5,000, which is nearly two times its regular price.
Amazon Prime Day 2021 is here – these are the best photo & video deals
Amazon has kicked off its Prime Day deals on time this year and as usual, there are quite a lot of them. Despite the name, the event goes on for two days and we’ll be listing the best deals we find here.
Not all of these deals have gone live just yet (it’s still early), and some will disappear as they sell out. We’ll keep updating the list as we find more, so keep checking back regularly. Have you spotted any we’ve missed? Let us know in the comments!
This couple gets empty boxes instead of a $7,000 Sony A1 camera they ordered
A couple of photographers from Alamosa, Colorado recently bought the most expensive empty boxes ever. The couple ordered a brand new Sony Alpha A1 from Amazon, paid over $7,000 and waited two months for the package to arrive. And when it finally did – there was nothing but empty camera boxes.
Amazon Prime Day 2020 is finally here and these are the best photo & video deals we’ve found
With everything that’s been happening this year, the fate of Prime Day 2020 was unknown until very recently when Amazon announced that Prime Day (which is actually two days, or sometimes a whole week depending on the seller) was going to begin… well, today. Now.
Here are some of the best deals we’ve found so far. We’ll keep updating this list as we spot more, so keep checking back. Let us know if you see any you think we’re missing that we should include!
Ring’s new “Always Home” camera is actually a drone that flies around your home… shooting video
This is both cool and super creepy – especially given past stories of Amazon employees being caught (and, thankfully, fired) for spying on Ring customers. But Ring’s newest announcement isn’t just like their regular home security cameras. It’s called the Ring Always Home Cam, and it’s basically a drone that sits there, silently, patiently, creepily waiting to spring into action.
You can now pre-order the not-yet-announced Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV… in Canada
This is an odd leak. It’s from a retailer, but it’s not WEX, B&H or some random company that only the local townspeople have heard of. This time it’s Amazon.
Despite not yet having been officially announced, the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is now available to pre-order from Amazon Canada. The listing shows some of the specs of the camera along with a $900.45 (Canadian) price tag, a September 25th release date and a great big “Pre-order now” button.
Camera gear shipments to be delayed as Amazon prioritises “household staples and medical supplies”
The graphics card in my computer died yesterday. So, last night, I went to Amazon to order a shiny new Nvidia graphics card. Thanks to Amazon Prime delivery, it should be arriving sometime in the next couple of hours. It’s an ability that many of us take for granted and do every day. But as with all things at the moment, coronavirus is having its impact.
Amazon has announced that they are temporarily prioritising the products coming into their fulfilment centres throughout the USA and the EU. Effective from today until at least April 5th, Amazon will be prioritising “household staples and medical supplies” over the things many of us would ordinarily buy – including camera gear.
Fake Gary Fong Lightspheres are being sold on Amazon – Watch Gary call them out on video
The Gary Fong Lightsphere has been a staple of wedding and event photography for years. And no matter how much some photographers wish they would just disappear, they insist on persevering. It seems demand for them is pretty high, too, as counterfeit Lightspheres, along with full Gary Fong branding are not only being made but even sold on Amazon.
Gary Fong himself bought one of the fakes from Amazon in order to make a video calling out these counterfeit products and showing the differences between the originals and the fakes.
Amazon cancels all orders for $249 Sony 85mm f/1.8 FE, gives buyers $20 gift cards instead
If you ordered a $550 Sony 85mm f/1.8 FE from Amazon for $249, it seems that you aren’t getting it after all. Even though this isn’t its first pricing error, Amazon has canceled all orders of the $249 Sony lens because it was “displayed at an incorrect price.”
Amazon uses guy’s photo on their jobs website, but they didn’t hire him
A few years ago, Jordan Guthmann had a job interview at Amazon. He didn’t get the job, life moved on… but then he discovered that Amazon used his photo. And oh the irony – it was on their Talent Acquisition website!
