Internets Price-Match Nikon Coolpix B500 superzoom (40x, AA) Black Friday Ad for under $260 with free accessories
I am now continuing with the price-checking of the glossy-ad Black Friday Ads, and one more “glossy ad” has been “defeated” by the internets. The Nikon Coolpix B500 superzoom (40x optical, four AA) is advertised for $260 in the BF ads, but Adorama is not only offering it for just under $260, it is also bundled with lots of free accessories: Corel software bundle, Bag, SD, AA charger/batteries, etc. The same price but without those freebies is available at B&H Photo and Amazon itself
48pk Insignia single-use AA or AAA for $10 w/free S&H
This offer among the latest eBay Deals has batteries included – that’s because the offer itself is batteries 🙂 Lame joke aside, the official Best Buy eBay store is offering their house brand 48pk Insignia AA single-use batteries for $10 with free shipping or free store pickup (where available/possible). Limit up to 30 per customer… The same offer is available for the AAA 48-pack with the same limit of up to 30 packs per customer.

Monoprice Black Friday Sale goes live
We are getting closer, less than two full days away from the symbolic Black Friday, although some could argue we are in a perpetual Black Friday. But I’ll leave the more esoteric comments for the philosophy blogs 🙂 To cut a long story short, Monoprice has launched their Black Friday Sale good until 11/27/16. No coupon code is needed, the price you see is the price you pay. Shipping is additional, as Monoprice has yet to crack the “free shipping code”, unlike most other major online retailers. Having said that, anyone who tried to mail or ship something will attest that it costs money every time, so there’s that hurdle 🙂
The top of the page has general-use doorbusters, $1 HDMI cables, $2 lightning cables, the Carbon Fiber Tripod/Monopod Expert Series (Large) (Product ID 12154) for $100. From there on, things are broken down by nebulous product categories. Under “Computer & Gaming” there are a couple of house-brand graphics tablets, and a couple of sections below that is the “Camera & Video” section [use the browser’s in-page search to quickly locate it using that exact string without the quotes]. It includes an $11 monopod, ball heads, half a dozen weatherproof hard cases ($43 to $168), a $2 camera extender (I guess they didn’t want to call it a selfie stick!), and such.
Moving along, further down is the “Home & Office” category which includes various single use and rechargeable batteries and chargers for the rechargeables. Further down [I feel like I’m a tour guide to an online sale], you will notice a beautiful castle made of microUSB cables. Or rather, various cables with prices starting at $0.49. This concludes the tour of the Monoprice gingerbread castle 🙂

Internets price-match Canon 80D w/18-135 Black Friday offer (with free accessories)
The price-checking of the Black Friday Ads continues with the most high-end of the glossy-advertised Black Friday ads price-matched, the Canon 80D with 18-135 is now going for $1400 at various online dealers with a variety of free accessories at each: Amazon itself (bag, extra charger/battery, SD) and B&H Photo (2% rewards, bag, 32GB Extreme, extra battery) and Adorama (with lots of free accessories: Corel, Bag, SD, Filters, etc)
Nikon APS-C D5xxx and D3xxx: Wait for Black Friday Offers to go live (or get matched/defeated)
If you are looking for a Nikon APS-C DSLR with lenses in the D5xx and D3xxx lines, you may want to wait until the Black Friday Ads. As of the time of writing, they have not been price-matched by the internets, which likely means Nikon has not yet given the green light for these offers to go live.
Why wait? The various Black Friday ads have the Nikon D5500 with 18-55 and 70-300 going for $600 and the D3400 with 18-55 and 70-300 going for $500. These prices handily defeat the current (as of the time of writing) prices at Amazon, B&H and Adorama. So patience will likely get you the above prices or even better if the aforementioned online retailers bundle them with more free accessories when their versions go live.
Here’s a screenshot of the Best Buy D5300 BF ad:
Rokinon 14mm f2.8 UMC (Canon) for $250 [updated]
UPDATE 11/23/16 PM: as of this re-check, this sale continues…
ORIGINAL POST: Ooops, I forgot about the Adorama daily deal, which starts at 12pm ET every day (you can find them all under the “DAILY DEALS LINKS” segment in the sidebar if you don’t want to wait for me to wake up and smell the roses). Their latest deal is the new condition Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC manual focus lens for the Canon system going for $250 with free shipping. This is good until 12pm ET on Wednesday (or earlier if it sells out, or later if it gets extended). You also get 2% promotional rewards (around $5) to be spent in future purchases at Adorama.
Internet meets and defeats Sony a5000 Black Friday Ad
I am going through the Black Friday Ads and price-checking to see which cameras have already been price-matched by the internets. The Sony a5000 w/16-50mm is advertised for $350, and the internet has matched the price, but that’s not all, Adorama is bundling it with lots of free accessories including the Corel software bundle (Aftershot X2, PSP X8), Bag, SD, Filters, etc). The same price is at B&H Photo and Amazon itself but no freebies.
On the other hand, if you want to optimize for a lower price, you can get it in open-box condition for $298 at B&H Photo with a 1-year warranty from B&H (not Sony USA).
PS: while I’ll try to price-check as many things as I can, I won’t post individual alerts for every single one of them. But they will be added to the Black Friday Ads digest post.

Nikon D500 Body with MB-D17 Grip and Extras for $1800
