Fry’s Black Friday Ads reveal B&M Doorbuster Canon DSLR two-lens kit for $299

Black Friday has revealed almost all of their Black Friday offers at their Weekly Ads page. The only thing missing are the early AM Thanksgiving offers that will be revealed by email to their newsletter subscribers. Their stores are closed on Thanksgiving, so the Thursday offers will be online-only. I integrated the existing offers into our everlong 2017 Black Friday Ads Digest…

And that’s the key, the vast majority of both in-store and online offers require the use of personalized promo code that each customer receives in their emails every time Fry’s runs a promotion. So if you are interested in most of these offers, make sure you sign up for their emailing list.

Their big doorbuster is reversed for Black Friday at their B&M stores, an unspecified Canon DSLR two lens kit with the 18-55 and 75-300 lenses. This is the teaser from the middle of this ad page:

SPOILERS below if you want to guess on your own, or if you want to surprised in store. It is most likely the Canon D-Rebel T6 with 18-55 and 75-300 which is an official Black Friday deal for $450 at various B&M dealers that have already posted their ad. It matches the $450 price, along with the 1080p and Wifi and 18-megapixels and NFC.

And the fact that there is no other Canon DSLR that would go this low 🙂

As you can see from the ad, this will be offered on Black Friday only, at their brick and mortar stores only, with one per customer. You need to have your personal promo code from the Fry’s email newsletter of that day.

If you are interested in this, I highly suggest finding members of your local football team and asking them to be your offensive and defensive line while attempting to get this deal in-store 🙂

Canon PIXMA TS6020 Wireless AiO Printer for $40 w/free S&H after coupon

Another Black Friday Ads offer has not only been matched, but defeated by the internets. Thanks to a 20% off clip-on coupon at B&H (yes, B&H has those too) you can get the new condition Canon PIXMA TS6020 Wireless All-in-One Inkjet Printer for $40 with free shipping and handling in the black color schemes.

The other two colors go for $45 and are not eligible for the coupon, and don’t get free shipping unless your order total is $49+

NewEgg launches Black Friday Sale (3400+ options)

NewEgg has launched their Black Friday with over 3400 items participating. This started at 4pm ET.

You can make the deals even better when you take advantage of the Masterpass promotion. Pay with Masterpass for orders of $200+ and use coupon code MPBF17 to get $25 off the $200+ total. Details at the aforelinked page. The Masterpass coupon expires 11/22/17 at 11:59pm pacific time. Masterpass is the Mastercard parallel to VISA Checkout.

UPDAT 5:15pm ET: it looks like there is little and less in terms of digital camera offers at their sale. I suppose it shouldn’t be a surprise, NewEgg is a general tech website, and they move with the trends and hype of the tech world.

Buy select Manfrotto Bags, Get FREE Monopod or GorillaPod or Pixi Tripod

We just had a burst of seven Olympus posts covering the refill of the Outlet store. So time for something else. Something gift-y!

Adorama is running a nice Manfrotto promotion that gets you a FREE item depending on which Manfrotto products you buy! All the offers are nicely organized at the aforelinked page. Here’s a summary:

+ FREE Manfrotto MM290C4US 290 Carbon Fiber Monopod when you buy one of 11 eligible Manfrotto bags

+ FREE Joby GorillaPod SLR-Zoom Mini Tabletop Tripod + Ballhead when you buy one of a dozen eligible Manfrotto bags

+ FREE Manfrotto Pixi 5.3″ Mini Tripod when you buy one of 20+ eligible Manfrotto bags

+ the freebie is determined by which product you buy as seen on the promotional page. You don’t have a choice from the freebies.

HOW TO GET THE MANFROTTO FREEBIE

You don’t have to do anything to get the freebie (other than buy the qualifying product). No coupon, no rebate, no shopping cart gymnastics. Eligible items mention this promotion on their product page. For example, here’s the product page for the Manfrotto Pro Light 3N1-36 Backpack with 3-Way Wear. You see the offer mentioned (screenshot below). Just add the bag to the shopping cart and the free item will be included automatically while this promotion is running. If you don’t see it, it means the promotion expired or there’s something wrong.

Refurbished Olympus 25mm f1.8 for $200 [m43]

The Olympus 25mm f1.8 lens goes for $300 in new condition at authorized dealers such as Adorama and Amazon itself, but if you are comfortable with manufacturer refurbished, the lens is back at the just refilled Olympus USA Outlet Store as follows:

+ Black 25mm f1.8 for $200
+ Silver 25mm f1.8 for $230

Refurbished Olympus PEN-F for $700

Some people use pens to write with ink, others use them to write with light. If you are of the latter persuasion, the manufacturer refurbished Olympus PEN-F (black) is back in-stock for $700 with free shipping and a 90-day USA warranty at the Olympus USA Outlet Store.

At the moment, in new condition at authorized dealers it goes for $1000, such as B&H Photo and Amazon itself.

Refurbished Olympus 17mm f2.8 [m43] for $90

Let them have pancake lenses said Marie Photographette! And the Olympus USA Outlet Store obeyed the order…

… the manufacturer refurbished Olympus M.Zuiko Lens 17mm f2.8 (Silver) is back in-stock for $90. Free shipping or flat $5 if the order total is under $100, I don’t remember. It comes with a 90-day Olympus USA warranty.

This lens is no longer available in new condition. The most reputable dealer carrying right now is used at KEH Camera for $159+

Refurbished Olympus E-M10 II Body Only for $300

The manufacturer refurbished Olympus E-M10 II body only (second generation) is now in-stock and ready to ship for $300 with free shipping and a 90-day Olympus USA warranty as part of the Olympus USA Outlet Store refill. It is in-stock as of the time of writing…

In new condition, this goes for $550 at authorized dealers such as Adorama and B&H Photo and $650 with the 14-42 or $750 with the 12-50. This was the price of the body only two weeks ago as well when I posted the Mirrorless Price Charts.

If you prefer the refurbished E-M10 II with the 14-42mm EZ, it goes for $430 in black or silver at the Olympus Outlet store, which is exactly the price of the refurbished 14-42mm EZ lens on its own. So if you go refurbished, the delta between the body only and the “with 14-42 EZ” is +$150, while in new condition is +$100. In other words, if you don’t feel compelled to have the 14-42 EZ lens, you can also look into getting a different lens, for example, a $90 pancake.
