With the adverts already on your site and two previous posts about the Amazon Prime Day, i wonder in what it’s necessary to post a 3rd new one with the lack of deals which could interest the SAR readers.
deals on prime day are not good so far imo
I tried to be as diplomatic as possible…;) because IMO 2 there s no interesting deals at all for SAR readers
999€ for SEL1635Z is actually really good price for DE
20% discount? not a Black Friday alike
Ian, there will be new deals every hour! Germany just got their first (and very good) FE lens deal!
Good try you almost convinced me 😉 I checked on both UK and German sites, but 20% discount on FE lens is nothing extraordinary ( 25-30 % discount starts to be interesting, like at the beginning of Ebay auctions) for a Sales day which was called better than Black Friday.Moreover the lenses are still at higher price than when i bought my SEL1670z on price minister last may (716 euro )
It’s not that I’m upset with Amazon as I got cheaper lenses than they do now but I still believe most of the deals are for entry level items or totally for useless items like Batteries, swimsuit, body cream and so on… Wtf Amazon is not supposed to be dealing items from major outlets
I had wish lists with ND filters , UV+IR cut filters( not unbranded filters but Haida Pro II ones, rewarded by many reviewers against Hitech, B+W, Lee ones) and Leatherman Surge which will never empty today because Amazon wanted to discount their unsold stocks of girly things(I can be in bad faith!!!) like swimsuit, towels, jewelry and cream…
well I got a samsung 1tb 850 evo SSD for 290 EUR…not bad
TLC based is…. well if you take care of it.
As far as I read from a SSD endurance test, it seems that TLC is already good enough in terms of lifetime. Is there any other shortcoming?
lifetime is the main concern. As long as there were a bad history, i can hardly trust it anymore. Micron is almost dead because this. I guess it’s quite common among diyers not to trust such products too much.
But it’s cheap. I can live with it with backup drives.
Where did you see that? I see a 256 and 512 but no 1tb
1 TB deal was around 12 clock (Germany time) and it sold out really fast
Lol what for a 1TB SSD? Are you an hardcore gamers or a computer scientists to need fast access hard disk with so much space… Usually u mostly need a fast booting disk with OS and Cache on it and nothing else so 256 GB SSD are only enough
640k are enough for all time… 🙂
And there are usages of big SSDs you (Ian Toni) may never heard of – e.g. as recording media in an Atomos Shogun or a Convergent Odyssey or Blackmagic cameras/recorders….
Well, I guess I lost some senses when seeing that price…
Yes I got it… You are forgiven;).. My son:)
Just cancelled it… But I do hate the noise and delay when a HHD wakes up.
If the 256gb deals are still on and proportionally as good as 1tb better go for it
once I crashed a HDD 1TB disk with 3 partitions on it… After backing up the important files I recovered from the “My Documents ” I immediately bought a SSHDD ( hybrid Disk) for OS and kept my important files on max 500 GB disks in 2″5 or 3″ 5 format
Already got a 256 840 evo long time ago. Actually this 840EVO is exactly the reason to make me start hating all the HHDs in my computer.
Got 20TB for 807€ inside a 4-bay RAID controller from WD. (hesitated too long at a price of 760€, but now it is up 1250€)
With RAID 5 there is 15 TB of free space – currently too much!
But if A7Rii gets uncompressed RAW, I am prepared ^^
$200? It should be $100 to be considered a ‘deal’
I bet most people couldn’t tell the difference between this and the A7RII and 50mm Zeiss- because they’re looking at their pics on FACEBOOK!!!
999€ for the FE 16-35 f4 in Germany, thats really not bad.
$hit I got my head burned…I don’t even have an FF camera and I just bought it
Oh well, might as well buy a used A7 now. They’re not that expensive. 🙂
I personally recommend A7s or A7r. I don’t know what monitor you use, but on mine saturation is quite a difference. A7 and A7ii have lower saturation than A7s and A7r.
not sure if it is wise to buy an unstabilized body right now. And A7R prohibits the usage of focal lengths of 200mm or longer.
It depends on what you use though. I think A7s is the best among the 3 for general use. You still can have stabilized lens and if you have very high usable ISO then it doesn’t even matter. Color rendering and countable WB under high ISO matter could be more useful than stabilization, considering stabilization affects corner image quality. If fact A7s focus down to -4 eV while A7 only could do -1 eV.
A7S is the most expensive from generation 1, and as you said it is by far the best of those. A7 is maybe an option because it’s really cheap. But A7R is a no go because slow AF and its shutter shock issue.
I would choose between A7, because its the cheapest, and the A7II, because its the best allrounder. ( i own the latter one) The A7S and the A7R are specialty cameras. If you buy one of them, you generally know what you will use them for and need them for that purpose.
FE 16-35 will work well on APS-C camera too
Don’t you think you now have a reason to get a “cap” for the lens?
lol… Prime day is taking some bad publicity. I wasn’t expecting huge deals on top tier merchandise, but it is a little pathetic.
It could be better, but it’s getting there in Germany at least. SEL1670Z at 7 pm and silver A6000 with kit at 7.10 pm.
Wow… nothing that good in the USA. Though I’m betting the A6000 will be all of 5-10% off.
Got it cheaper in last may;) and wasn’t bragged out sales day
A6000 was 499€ and SEL1670Z was 649€. The offer is still up, but both completely sold out.
One deal was worthy all over the day, it s finally SEL1670z… But it s one rare deal with over 30% discount…. Nothing to bragg out
Yeah I got one for a friend. 650Euro is about the maximum what I’m willing to pay for that lens.
It was £100 cheaper on digitalrev!!!
Thank you (Achim), I (Ian Toni) did not think of that TB SSD usage indeed, as I only recently think of digital camera as a video recorder too. Indeed, before there were something called camcorder to do so. Apologies for my ignorance;) but is the SSD still using MLC memory or SLC one?
To conclude : “Amazon Prime Day will have more deals than Black Friday” can be marked afterwards as SR2 rumor from Amazon and readers of other rumors sites ( checked Canon Watch too) will agree for sure
I wan’t new lenses… Come on…
Well I managed to get a new LG 42″ Tv for £280 and a 32Gb Sandisk sd card for £10 🙂
Just saw on Amazon this, a mystery digital camera and accessories for $419. 45% have claimed it. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? Amazon treats its customers like idiots and you have to be dumb as rocks to buy it.

I was hoping for more interesting sales. It appears to be nothing but garage sale items. So, I instead ended up buying a custom made turntable and some vinyl today. That should keep me busy.
Are there any good deals here? I can’t see anything that is heavily discounted more than normal.
