Featured eBay Camera Sale (586 options)
eBay has another semi-curated featured Camera sale with a total of 586 items participating, from $18 generic Canon D-Rebel battery grips to DSLR bundles with boatloads of accessories. This is an ever-scrolling page, so the further you scroll down, the more items appear. You can filter them by product category and/or brand using the options on the left-hand side of their website over there.
Unfortunately I cannot multi-thread (verb) myself like a computer-server and go through the 586 items just like that, so for now it is a YMMV adventure if you are curious.
AMEX Offers (YMMV): Spend $60+ on Amazon, Get $15 Statement credit
This is a targeted offer, so there is a YMMV aspect to it. If you have an American Express credit card, check the AMEX Offers section. One of the offers making the rounds is a $15 statement credit if you make a purchase of $60+ at Amazon and pay for it with said credit card. You have to manually add the offer to your account, by pressing the “Add to Card” button.
IMPORTANT: while the offer is good until 12/31/15 after you add it to your AMEX card, the window to add it to your AMEX card is typically much smaller. AMEX Offers are available for a limited time and in limited quantities. To cut a long story short, if you see an AMEX offer you are interested or might be interested in the future, add it to your card as soon as you see it.

If you happen to need one of those accessories, this is a pretty good deal. This is a limited time offer, but an expiration date is not mentioned. Make sure this promotion is mentioned under the Special Offers section of an item before making a purchase (annotated screenshot crop of an example below):
Price Research: the 35mm Full Frame Price Charts
Silver lining of me procrastinating to do a new edition of the Camera Price Charts is that we have captured a fascinating pattern for 2015: most of the new 35mm full frame digital cameras released in 2015 filled the price-gap between $3000 and $5000 of 2014. What was a jump from the Nikon D810 to the Leica M-E is now filled with 2015 cameras. See the charts and discussion on the main blog’s new Camera Price Charts Episode 1: 35mm Full Frame… The rest of the charts are coming this week (DSLRs, Mirrorless, RAWsumers), hopefully one per day 🙂

Canon G3X rawsumer and Canon EVF-DC1 Electronic Viewfinder for $920
Love the idea of a compact with RAW camera but sometimes you just have to have a viewfinder as well? Adorama may be solving this dilemma by offering the Canon G3X + Canon EVF-DC1 Electronic Viewfinder together for $918 with free shipping. No coupons, no rebates, just add to cart and proceed. The EVF on its own goes for $220, while the G3X on its own goes for $900. So for just +$20 you are getting a detachable EVF.
Alternately, if you also need more accessories (or you are in the process of building camera-gift-bundles for friends and family), for $938 with free expedited shipping you can get the above two plus many accessories: 32GB Lexar SD, Lowepro Sport 7L shoulder bag, extra 3rd-party battery, screen protector, cleaning kit, and the Corel Creativity software bundle that includes Aftershot Pro 2 and PSP (= PaintShop Pro) X8 among others.

The refurbished black Canon SL1 with 18-55 IS STM and 75-300 f4-5.6 III two lens kit is on sale for $300 with free shipping at the official Canon Outlet store with a one year Canon warranty. This is part of yet another “Cyber Monday sale”… The kit without the 75-300 goes for $280. The 75-300 is not stabilized and it is not the USM version, but for a +$20 it may be worth its weight in materials 😉

Free shipping with orders of $34.99 or higher (they must ship from Groupon facilities, so not all purchases qualify towards free shipping – similar to what Amazon does).
