Surely you have seen it advertised on TV and even at the bus stop: today, July 16 , Amazon Prime Day begins , an event that lasts until July 17 and in which Amazon proposes significant discounts on a selection of Amazon products. your catalog. Truth be told, I've always tried to ignore these events because usually, in previous years, I'd come across fairly "modest" discounts that didn't justify all the hype.
This year I have decided to follow Prime Day with a little more attention for 2 reasons:
- Some readers in previous years had asked me for a summary of the products related to photography that had the most discounts, and…
- I've been after some items for a while and I'm interested to see if they make it into Prime Day.
I have taken some time to go through all the available Amazon Prime Day "photographic" inventory and I have prepared this little list for you with the "star" products that in my opinion are worth it and that cover the entire spectrum of types of cameras currently available.
Before proceeding, 2 things quickly:
- To be able to purchase discounted cameras and photography products on Prime Day you need to be an Amazon Prime user. If you are a regular reader of the blog, you will know that I usually recommend Amazon for all purchases related to photography due to its customer service and speed of delivery. Prime users (including a server) enjoy certain benefits, including free 24-hour delivery. So if you are interested in any of the cameras or accessories that I am going to discuss below, be sure to sign up for Prime from the following link here.
The subscription as a Prime user offers a free trial period of 30 days, more than enough time to get the products that interest you on Prime Day and, if you are no longer interested in it later, be able to unsubscribe without having to pay the subscription. Even so, I recommend having the subscription because over time it becomes profitable. - The cameras that you will find in this article have a very limited availability. It is common for them to run out of stock due to the high demand that usually occurs in this type of event. If you are interested in any of these cameras, I recommend that you get it as soon as possible because it could run out of stock in a matter of hours.
Finally, and before we dive into the offers, let me quickly explain the structure of the campaign. Actually, Prime Day as such this year will start today, July 16, and will last until July 17. That being said, the products on sale one day will be different from those on the other day, so don't expect to find the same product available for more than one day.
Every day there will be different offers. For example, today there will be some discounted products, which will only be available today (and in limited stock). Tomorrow, there will be different ones. This means that if you are sure that a certain camera or accessory interests you, do not think too much about it because the probability that it will run out is very high.
Come on, enough of so much intro. Let's mess
