Amazon Prime Day: These are the best deals for enjoying summer

LG XBoom Go PL7: was $199 now $125 @ Walmart
The XBoom Go PL7 is one of the best Bluetooth speakers, even when it's not enjoying a sizeable discount. It's water-resistant to the IPX5 standard, so it can endure accidental pool splashes or unexpected rain, and the 24-hour battery life is great for trips.

GoPro Hero 8 Black Bundle: was $349, now $279 @ Amazon
The GoPro Hero 8 Black is our current top-scoring action camera, and this bundle gives you everything you need for recording your summer surfing, skateboarding or simply life-logging adventures. There's a tripod, a head strap for POV shots, extra batteries and a micro SD card, all for less than the camera would normally cost by itself.

Sony Alpha a6000: was $798, now $648 @ Amazon
This mirrorless camera is a few years old, but it's still a very good shooter and has dropped to a price that makes it much more accessible. For your next vacation, forget the disposables; this capable yet highly compact camera will do a much better job.

Lexar Professional 256GB SDXC UHS-II: was $99 now $61 @ Amazon
If you buy the Sony Alpha a6000, you'll need a memory card to store all your photos and videos. The Lexa Professional 256GB SDXC UHS-II card is ideal; both fast and affordable, it's a solid card for photography as well as filming high-resolution video. 

Weber Spirit II E-310 Gas Grill: was $579 now $519 @ Amazon
What's summer without a few barbecue get-togethers? The Spirit II E-310 is even more affordable than usual right now. It hits a sweet spot between high cooking performance and easy usability that will suit most backyard cooks just fine. It's one of our best grill picks for a reason.
