Sony a6000 with 16-50mm and $50 Gift Card and Extras for $550

The Sony a6000 with the 16-50mm lens is bundled with a $50 Adorama Gift Certificate along with a 64GB Lexar SDXC and 1yr Leaf spills-n-drops warranty for $550 at Adorama in the black A6000. The silver A6000 gets the $50 gift card too but receives a different set of freebies: Vivitar 3pc filter kit, 16GB Toshiba, cleaning kit, Slinger holster bag, and memory card case… You can see all options and bundles at Adorama here.

This kit was going for $680 last week, see the “Take Pictures With” segment of the Mirrorless Price Charts. Meanwhile the body only was going for $480 last week, but now…

… If you only need the body only kit, it goes for $400 (with some free accessories) at authorized dealers such as B&H Photo and Amazon by Amazon itself.

Storage and backups on the go, the USB flash drives can be. The 128GB PNY Turbo USB 3.0 Flash Drive, model P-FD128TBOP-GE, is currently on sale for $25 at Amazon by Amazon itself. Limit one per customer. If you try to adjust the quantity in the shopping cart, the shopping cart will grab you by the ear 🙂 The usual free shipping terms apply (2-day Prime or with a $35+ non-Prime). This is standard size USB flash drive.

Speaking of PNY, a total of 11 PNY memory cards are on sale at Amazon featuring SD and microSDs. The SDs are 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB.

In other storage related sales, Amazon has a sale of 15 Sandisk products featuring SSDs, SD, microSD cards and flash drives (both regular and wireless).

Nikon D3200 2-Lens VR kit (18-55, 55-200) for $400

The Nikon D3200 is a stubborn DSLR. It refuses to go away. It even finds itself in the Black Friday spotlight. The Nikon D3200 two-lens DX VR kit (18-55, 55-200) is now on sale for $400 with frees shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself (limit 5) and Adorama and B&H Photo et al.

NOTE: the newer Nikon D3300 two-lens VR kit will be offered for $500 during Black Friday (currently goes for $600). So there’s a $100 trade-off price-wise between the D3200 and D3300 two-lens VR kits.

Another decision point is whether you need the two DX VR lenses or not. You can get the D3200 body only in refurbished condition with a 90 day Nikon warranty for $245 at Adorama.

Another data point, you can get the D3200 two-lens kit with the non-VR lenses, in manufacturer refurbished condition for $300 by BuyDig on eBay.

And now we resume our countdown to the madness, posting deals here, while in parallel updating the Black Friday Ads breakdown. We start with a few 128GB microSD memory card sales, of interest for phones, tablets, and some of the newer smaller digital cameras and action cameras that take microSD instead of full-size SD.

+ 128GB Samsung EVO microSDXC for $40 (limit 3)
+ 128GB PNY microSDXC for $40

If you haven’t installed the Amazon app before, please note that it hasn’t met an Android permission that it doesn’t like 🙂 Perhaps a good way to test the Android 6.0 permission blocking system if you are one of the 0.3% of Android users with a Marshmallow device.
