Canon D-Rebel T6i with 18-55 IS STM and Rode Mic and Pixma PRO 100 Printer for $499 after $350 MIR

Are you a Rebel with an Audio Cause and an affinity for mail-in rebates? Adorama is offering the Canon EOS Rebel T6i with 18-55 RODE PIXMA kit for $499 after a $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX gift card). This includes the Canon D-Rebel T6i with 18-55mm IS STM in the Creator/Video/Audio kit with the RODE mic and SD card, along with the PIXMA PRO 100 printer, and its trusty sidekick (50pk SG-201). That’s a nice haul for $500 if you don’t hate mail-in rebates. Or if you like to sell/trade things, that gives you even more flexibility.

Canon 80D body for $1000, w/18-55 for $1050, w/18-135 for $1300, w/18-135 Video $1400

The Canon 80D body went for $1100 when I posted the APS-C DSLR price charts but the Black Friday madness has brought a discount to this Canon camera too!

The 80D body only goes for $1000, with 18-55 for $1050, with 18-135mm for $1300, and the 18-135 Video Creator kit for $1400. All these options are available by Amazon itself and Adorama and B&H Photo. Depending on the kit, you may get free accessories or promotional rewards.

The above are the standard kits. B&H Photo also has a couple of additional two lens kits where they add the 55-250 lens to the “with 18-55” kit for $1200, or to the “with 18-135” kit for $1450. That’s a +$150 for the 55-250 lens compared to the price without it.

+ arggghhh, this turned out a lot longer than I thought. The Sprawl is winning 🙂

Sigma ART Black Friday DSLR Lens Sales (46 options)

A total of 46 Sigma ART DSLR lenses are participating in their Black Friday instant savings, you can find them all organized at B&H Photo as part of their many and more Featured Sales. I will try to break down the lenses later today, but there’s so much to post and not enough time!

Elinchrom D-Lite RX 4/4 Softbox To Go Kit with FREE 17″ Reflector for $760

Random Black Friday thought: I think the decision by more B&M retailers to close on Thanksgiving has helped settle things in the world of Black Friday shopping, with all those interested in BF activities on Thanksgiving Day doing it discreetly or otherwise while participating in holiday festivities.

And now something for lighting fans on the go! B&H Photo is offering the Elinchrom D-Lite RX 4/4 Softbox To Go Kit with a free Elinchrom Softlite 17” Reflector (White; $145 on its own) for $760 with free expedited shipping [nice since these things are not featherweight or tiny when it comes to shipping] as one of their 120+ BF Sales.

DJI Spark Mini for $369, or $400 with $50 Gift Card or $100+ Kohls Cash

The DJI Spark Mini for $400 was one of the Black Friday Ads but the internets have not only matched it, but also defeated it as follows:

+ DJI Spark Mini (white) for $369 at Adorama

+ DJI Spark Mini (all colors) + $50 B&H Gift Card for $400 at B&H Photo

+ DJI Spark Mini (all colors) for $400 at Kohls.com and receive $105 in Kohls Cash
+ Kohls Cash is $15 rewards for every $50 you spend. This is $399.99. An extra penny (or if they round it) will get you $120 Kohls Cash
+ Kohls Cash is not cash, it’s more a reward/coupon hybrid and it has an EXPIRATION date – can only be used between 11/26 and 12/6/17
+ if you are a regular Kohls shopper, this is the best deal, otherwise you are probably better off with the gift card or discount because unless you are a seasoned Kohls couponer and rewarder and clearancer, their regular prices are high.

UPDATE: the “Fly More” combos go for $600 everywhere I checked but B&H Photo offers a $50 B&H gift card with them.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic with 10pk film for $90
