Today is CYBER MONDAY, an American tradition since 2005. It is a day created by marketers to persuade people to shop online. According to the experts, you are expected to spend two to three billion dollars online today. Don't spend it all in the same place!
TOP, being helpful by nature, can help. We have for your buying pleasure baby carriages, tiny pocket cameras, surform planes (these are actually really handy), green tea
, flash memory, How-I-Shot-This Books
(poor timing on the release of this one, New Riders), dirt from Roswell
for UFO fans, canned Unicorn meat
(I don't recommend actually eating this, or you might find yourself magically turning into a hospital), and my personal favorite, the Sigmund Freud finger puppet
(in case you need to administer a talking-to-yourself cure).
Seriously, though, that tiny camera is a great deal, and will fit in a stocking.
If you'd like to shop online today and do Yr. Hmbl. Ed. a favor, here are our links:

Using our affiliate links doesn't cost you anything extra. Our share comes out of their profits.
Anything you buy at most of these sites (not just photo items) will be credited to TOP as long as you initiate the session from one of our links and make your selection and complete your purchase in the same session. We do not get credit for anything already in your shopping cart, even if you put it there on a previous visit from our site.
But we get credit for everything you buy in that session...even unicorn meat. So, if you're shopping anyway, please do some of your shopping with us!

But seriously folks
Really, though: TOP is always free, and you are always welcome whether you shop through our links or not, today or any other day. This is how the site stays alive, but we welcome all our visitors every day. As the old phrase goes, "no purchase necessary."
Happy Cyber Monday either way,

OK, I ordered a lens from B&H through your link. Purely an altruistic act on my part to support TOP. Yeah, yeah, that's it.

I’m immune to subliminal advertising, but maybe I should order an iPad Air :-).

"...that tiny camera is a great deal, and will fit in a stocking." Hear, hear! Great advice. I snagged an S100 for a bit less last Christmas, and it has been outstanding. The S110 should be that much sweeter.
Happy holidays to one and all!

Your wish is my command, Mike—I just bought a Fuji X-E2 system with 5 lenses at B&H.
I hope you enjoy spending the commission as much as I will enjoy using the camera ;-)

Got that small TV the wife's been wanting, and "unbreakable" headphones for a nephew.
But I gotta say I'm eyeballing the Pentax MX-1 I think you incredulously wondered about (due to the brass top plate) ... at about $250 is seems like a freakishly good deal.
(It's about $100 less than the Oly ZX-2, which yes does have a few more features but the same nice lens and sensor ...)

Been doing my part and clicking through TOP to B&H the last couple of weeks (kitting out for large format) and just got done ordering a Berlebach tripod from them. It helps that they had the best price...glad you mentioned needing to clear the cart from previous visits to get TOP full merchant credit. I didn't do that a couple of times so you didn't get the full benefit from my purchases.
Happy Cyber Monday. Now I have to go visit Barnes & Noble and Sierra Trading Post. I'm not looking at any more merchant emails today!
