Adorama defeats the Black Friday Ads for the Canon D-Rebel T6 with free Canon Printer and Corel Software and more (T6 w/18-55 and 75-300 for $450)

The Canon D-Rebel T6 two-lens kit (18-55, 75-300) for $450 is perhaps the most advertised of DSLRs at the Black Friday Ads, offered at least at Office Depot/MAX and BJ’s Wholesale and HH Gregg and Target and Walmart and Best Buy.

Now this offer has been handily defeated by Adorama offering the following additional free accessories to the two-lens kit: Canon Pixma MX922 wireless AiO printer, and Corel software bundle (including PSP X8 and AfterShot PRO 2), extra 3rd-party battery, 58mm UV filter, 16GB SD card, and the obligatory cleaning kit.

B&H Photo offers 2% rewards ($9 in future purchases there) and 16GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC and Sunpak 58mm Filter Kit, while Amazon itself includes a 32GB Lexar Professional and a Wasabi charger with two extra Wasabi batteries [this is NOT edible Wasabi].

200GB Sandisk microSDXC for $50 w/free S&H [limit 10]

Some of today’s smaller cameras take microSD, in addition to smartphones and other other-camera products (action cameras, etc), which brings us to the black/red 200GB SanDisk Ultra MicroSDXC (SDSDQUAN-200G-G4A), one of the “rebels” to break out of the Powers-of-2 storage option scheme, on sale for $50 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon herself with a limit of ten per customer.

(ENDED) Refurbished GoPro HERO3+ Silver Edition w/1yr warranty for $117 [limit 2]

The Trending eBay Deals have their doorbusters too, the official GoPro eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished GoPro HERO3+ Silver Edition with a 1-year manufacturer warranty, sealed in factory packaging, for $117 with free shipping with a limit of two units per eBay buyer.

PS: I have now separated action cameras, drones, 360 cameras and such from the Fixed Lens Cameras category which is now only including conventional P&S digital cameras. The rest of them (GoPros, DJIs, 360-cameras, etc) go under the all-encompassing Other Cameras category.

(SOLD OUT) 4TB Seagate Expansion USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive for $90 [limit 5]

As of a 9:37pm ET recheck, this sold out: The eBay Deals have their own Black Friday sales, in a herding cats type of a fashion, and among them, there’s a 4TB external hard drive for $90! The BuyDig eBay store is offering the new condition 4TB Seagate Expansion USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive, model STEB4000100, for $90 with free shipping, with a limit of five per buyer. Nearly 500 units have been sold in the last 24 hours per the statistics-in-red-ink over there.

Speaking of storage, the fish-stick or fries equivalent in storage these days are the USB flash drives, so if you want some more fries, the Thursday Lexar and Crucial storage has the following:

+ 256GB Lexar JumpDrive S75 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (model LJDS75-256ABNL, White) for $36.75
+ 128GB Lexar JumpDrive S75 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (model LJDS75-128ABNL) for $19

(ENDED) Mango Spot Lens Cup for $8 (ends Fri 2:45am ET)

This deal zoomed out of existence but I believe this is a recurring lightning deal, so it will likely come back in the future…

And now to something fun in single figures, the 12oz Mango Spot Lens Cup is on sale for $8 in either the black or white color schemes by the maker with the order fulfilled by Amazon. This is a Lightning Deal ending by 2:45am ET on Friday or earlier if sold out. As of 11:41pm ET, the white is 67% claimed and the white with the transparent lid is 44% claimed. I believe you can buy one of each style.

(SOLD OUT) Friday: Canon D-Rebel T6 w/18-55 and 75-300 for $399 with Meh warranty

As of 8:21pm ET recheck, this sold out…

The Meh deal of the day for Black Friday is usurping the official Black Friday Ads by offering the Canon D-Rebel T6 two-lens kit (18-55, 75-300) for $50 less. They can do this because they are not authorized Canon dealers, so their kit comes with a 1-year warranty from Meh, not Canon USA.

The Canon USA blessed kit goes for $450 by various sellers that offer a variety of free accessories.

The way Meh explains the whole MAP thing is very refreshing:

(ENDED) Woot-OFF in most Sub-Woots including Electronics

This round of Woot-OFFs expired on Saturday at 1am ET… I don’t know if they plan another one for Cyber Monday, or as I like to call it, Cider Monday 🙂

Like a virus, the Woot-OFF has moved to almost all the sub-Woots including Electronics Woot and Computers, the most likely ones to feature camera and photo related items. The main Woot is back to normal though. As usual these run in 24 hour multiples, so it will continue at least until 1am ET on Saturday. As usual, YMMV on what they’ll offer and how good the prices will be.
