Adorama Black Friday pages go live [up and running again]
UPDATE (Fri 12:30am ET): as of this check, the Adorama website is up and running again… (Thur 11:48pm ET): the Adorama website is temporarily down…
The Adorama Black Friday Offer pages have gone live. There are many items listed in the various categories and sub-categories. For now it is a DIY adventure. I’ll try to go through some of them later today, but there’s only so much I can do during BF madness (and remain sane). Unfortunately I am not a hyper-threaded octa-core processor. I’m more of an overclocked single-threaded 500 MHz Celeron 😉
REMINDER: if you are just now catching up, you can get a summary of the latest deals at the Black Friday Situation Room at the main blog, or check the first 3-4 pages of this blog (there are ready to click links under the HOME button in the black menu bar at the top of this blog here).

Some Pentax K-50 options with free AF-200FG flash start at $367
The Pentax K-50 is available in three colors and three kits, making price-checking and deciding a bit of a project. But it may be worth the time because Adorama has many offers and some of them come with the AF-200FG for free (automatically included by Adorama – when you see this mentioned right below the price on the right side of the page). Be sure to pay attention to each individual listing as there are many and each has a slightly different offer.
The action starts at $367 with the K-50 body only kits. The black is out of stock (but you can still order it) while the Storm Trooperish White is in-stock. However, in terms of pure value, for $400 you can get the K50 body only kits with a $50 Adorama gift certificate and a 4GB EyeFi memory card in black and white and red.
The K-50 with 18-55 kits start at $450 in the exotic colors (no free flash) but at $457 for the standard colors (white, black, red) you get the free flash and 4GB EyeFi card.
The K-50 with 18-55 and 50-200 two lens kits go for $550 and they too come with the free flash and 4GB EyeFi card in the usual white, black and red colors.
