eBay Featured Sale: DSLR Beginning Kits (YMMV)
eBay is having another one of their featured semi-curated sales, this one is a DSLR Beginners Kit Sale featuring 500+ items. Due to time-constraints I can’t price-check all these items, so this is a DIY YMMV adventure if you feel like deal fishing. You can filter them down by using the Menus or the options on the left-hand-side over there (you may get different views depending on their responsive page template).
Pelican S140 Sport Elite Backpack for $30 w/free S&H
The Pelican S140 Sport Elite Tablet Backpack is kinda misnamed, because it is not just a tablet backpack. You can also put camera gear in there. See the product pictures #4, #5, and #6 over there for more details. That, combined with minimal information on the manufacturer’s website meant that the invisible hand of the market pushed it to the clearance aisle. It is now on sale for $30 with free shipping at Adorama in the black color scheme or the green color scheme or the orange color scheme… There are no customer reviews at Adorama, but it averages 4.1 out of 5 at Amazon with 15 customer reviews. The reviews are fairly short though, so there’s still a bit of a leap of faith if you are a risk-averse shopper…
Canon G7X with Pixma Pro 100 & Extras for $500 after $350 MIR

But if you want a printer as well and do not object to mail-in rebates and prepaid AMEX gift cards, you can get the Canon G7 X with the Pixma Pro 100 printer and 50pk 13×19″ photo paper and 32GB SDHC and camera bag for $500 after a $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX gift card) at Adorama.
Bag The Bags Mini Edition: Lowepro Photo Sport 200 AW Backpack (Orange) for $90 (and more starting at $6 shipped)
Vitamin C is not just in citrus fruits. It’s also in camera bags. If you agree with this statement, you may be interested in the Lowepro Photo Sport 200 AW Backpack (Orange) on sale for $90 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo and Adorama. This is the lowest out of pocket price, but if you prefer a better bang for the buck offer, you can get it for $108 at Amazon along with a $50 Promotional Credit towards future camera and photo purchases.

Canon 24-70mm f4L IS for $800
The Canon 24-70mm f4L IS is on sale for a limited time for $800 at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon itself. At the first two, you also get 4% promotional rewards ($32~). Alternately, if you prefer accessories instead of promotional rewards, Adorama has a bundle with various lens-y accessories along with the Corel Creativity software bundle (including AfterShot Pro 2 and Paintshop Pro X7).
In addition to that, Adorama has another listing with the same price but 10% promotional rewards (=$80~). There is an “RB” in the product code and “RW” in the item description, so I’m not sure what this means. I am not sure if RB is short for refurbished? I don’t know what “RW” is.

Offer ends by 12/15/15 at 11:59pm ET… A silver lining in the smartphone-cameraphone onslaught is that it made a lot of digital cameras more affordable…
