The new condition Olympus E-M5 with the 14-42mm kit lens is now down to $420 with free shipping at B&H Photo in either the Elite version or the Regular version… This was going for $500 last week, see the “Take Pictures With” (last chart) at the Mirrorless Price Chart…
Just like the previously mentioned E-M1 $50 discount, the Olympus E-M5 Mark II has dropped from $900 last week to $850 right now at Amazon by Amazon itself and Adorama and B&H Photo.
In last week’s Mirrorless Price Charts (see the first chart, the flagship comparison) the Olympus E-M1 body only was going for $950.

Another one of the Black Friday Ads is now price-matched by the internets. The Sony a6000 2-lens kit with the 18-55 and 55-210 lenses is going for $700 at Black Friday and it is now going for $700 at Amazon by Amazon itself (with free camera bag and 16GB Sony SD)… On the other hand, if you don’t need these particular lenses, the a6000 body only (with a number of free accessories) goes for $400 at Adorama and B&H Photo…

We have new analysis + summary post at the main blog, Grading the Black Friday Offers and summarizing them if you don’t feel like getting knee-deep in the previously-mentioned long and sprawling store by store listing of the ads. You can also find these posts linked to in the Sidebar for quick cross-reference.
Amazon is expanding in all directions. One of their areas of expansion are Home Services that include everything from technology (printer setup, smartphone related, backups, virus removals, etc) to home improvement to car services to electrical work to home theater to equipment assembly and more. During the holidays, good until December 4, if you book a $75+ service, you will receive a $30 Amazon Gift Card via email in about 3 weeks after the paid service is completed. More details over there.
On the budget front, the Canon PIXMA MG3522 Wireless Inkjet Photo All-in-One Printer is on sale for $30 with free shipping at Adorama as one of their 6000+ Black Friday specials… On the other hand, if you have Amazon gift card burning in your e-pocket, you can get it for the same price by Adorama thru Amazon…
A quick note, I increased the number of posts shown on the front page of the blog to keep up with the increased volume of Black Friday postings and also increased the number of items to be shown in the RSS feed as we have been doing 20+ per day the last few days (and it’s only gonna get crazier). If any of these cause any issues technical or otherwise, please let me know in the comments or using the online contact form.
There are also two Canon 6D bundles with the Pixma AMEX mail-in rebates. The first bundle is centered on the 6D Body Only and Pixma Pro 100 and 50pk 13×19″ photo paper and gadget bag and 32GB Lexar SD for $1150 after a $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid American Express Gift Card).
Meanwhile the 6D with 24-105 f3.5-5.6 IS STM bundle with the same extras as above goes for $1550 after $350 MIR. In other words, you are adding the lens for +$400… Rebate details in the PDF file…
I got sidetracked before finishing all the Canon Pixma rebates last night, here’s more at Adorama, these ones centered around the Canon D-Rebel T6i. There are two bundles: the D-Rebel T6i w/18-55 IS STM and Pixma Pro 100 and 50pk 13×19″ photo paper and gadget bag and 32GB Lexar SD go for $600 after a $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid American Express Gift Card).
Meanwhile the D-Rebel T6i w/18-135 IS STM with the same bundle as above goes for $750 after a $350 MIR. So you are swapping the 18-55 for the 18-135 for an extra $150. Decisions, decisions… Rebate details in the PDF file…
Another one of the DSLR offers of the Black Friday Ads is now price-matched by the internet. The Nikon D7100 2-Lens kit with the 18-55 DX VR and 55-300 DX VR lenses and extras (Wifi adapter, case, card) is price-matched to $1000 at B&H Photo (with 2% rewards) and Adorama and Amazon by Amazon.

PS: our customary “Black Friday / Holiday Season Camera Deals Situation Room” at the Main Blog should go live in the next few hours. I am waiting for the early Friday wave to start, it would make that a good starting point.

The main Canon DSLR deal featured in Black Friday Ads is the Canon D-Rebel T5 with the 18-55 and 75-300 non-USM lenses for $400. Fast forward to now, and already the internets have price-matched that offer, you can get it for $400 at Amazon and Adorama (with lots of free extras) and B&H Photo (with different set of free extras).
Another wave of specials is out, this is a big block at B&H Photo [corrected link; this is an ever-scrolling page, keep clicking the orange “Load More” button over there to see more offers] featuring different brands and here’s a block of specials at Adorama (6400+ items) including a featured Canon sale and a Rokinon sale… I will go through them and digest them (no pun intended) as soon as I can find an uninterrupted block of time…
These lighting deals expired… For future ones in the future, check the Amazon Gold Box (new, giant images version) or Amazon Gold Box (old, widget with arrows version) and Camera & Photo page…
Pure Android at a big discount won’t last long. As of a 4pm ET recheck, all four options are sold out and cannot be ordered…
