Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
If you had been looking to get premium magazines (eg Consumer Reports) at a lower price, the Cyber Monday deal at the DiscountMags website is a 5-magazine bundle for $50 per year. The options include Consumer Reports.
The strategy here is to pick magazines that typically don’t get offered for under $10 per magazine per year. As usual, these are printed magazines (except for Zinio digital subscriptions), delivered to USA addresses by snail mail…
It’s a Computer Invasion at the Amazon Cyber Monday deals. Among others:
+ 21.5″ iMac (2020) (8/256) for $799, up to three per customer
+ 28 handpicked laptops and desktops from HP, Lenova, Acer, ASUS, Dell, and MSI
+ including ChromeOS, not just Windows
+ not sure who handpicked them, mayhaps Jeff Bezos? 😉
+ from $210 to $2260
+ 26 Samsung laptops, tablets, monitors, etc, from $30 (S-Pens) to $2550 (the Flip 2 WM85R 85 Inch Digital Flipchart for Business (4K UHD 3840×2160 with Touch Screen, Wi-Fi, HDMI, USB and 3-Yr Wrnty)
+ that’s a nice toy to have but so are $2550 🙂
+ Nixplay digi-frames, from $126 to $152
+ two pages of Smart Home products including LOTS of LED lighting and various brand digi-frames and such
+ HP AiOs and laptops, $115 to $1450
+ PC Inputs sale including Razer, Logitech, Corsair
+ LG Gram laptop and two monitors
+ 29 computer monitor options including Dell, Sceptre, Acer, HP, Viewsonic, AOC, etc
+ all kinds of instant hot pots including a …Star Wars one!
And if you wanna fill up your ereader/apps, there’s over 220 Kindle eBooks in their Kindle daily deals…
And if you have so many new ebooks to read, you need more coffee and tea, infact five pages of offers including K-Cups and the like
And if you are gonna have so much coffee and tea to drink, how about two pages of TV and Movies collections?
Cyber Monday is here and the CM offers have launched at B&H Photo and also at Adorama…
As time goes by, I will be digesting these and posting select offers (as per usual). In the meantime, if you are suffering from Deal Information Overload (DIO, no, not Ronny James), Adorama has your back, they have posted their Top 100 Cyber Monday deals…
You can’t have photography without light, but it doesn’t mean you have to pay crazy prices for lighting gear! Good until Tuesday 11/30/21 at 11:59pm ET, B&H Photo is having a 28-item Luxli lighting sale with prices ranging from $50 to $3500…

Good news if you missed out on the Black Friday CreativeLIVE offer. Their 1-year prepaid Creator Pass for $99 for the first year using coupon code FRIDAY99 has been extended for Small Business Saturday 🙂
The Hulu Black Friday offer is back, you pay 99c per month for the ad-supported month for the first 12 months. Then it auto-switches to the $7/mo unless it gets cancelled/changed. Offer ends 11/29/21 at 11:59pm.
Coupon code SAVE gets you an extra 30% on select Groupon offers.
Speaking of Groupon, their Saturday deal of the day is PhotoAffections custom holiday cards for $20 (40 custom) or $30 (70 custom) or $40 (100 custom). Shipping is extra…
Because the world is not just Adobe, there’s an on-going 50% off sale on all software titles at the DXo Online Shop until 11/29/21 at 11:59pm ET…

As it is often the case during the BF/CM season, Amazon also has book-related offers. This time around, if you purchase $25+ in Kindle ebooks, you will receive a $6 Kindle promotional credit.
The Terms & Conditions describe the offer. The purchase window is November 21-28 in 2021, you don’t have to make a single $25+ purchase. The $6 promotional credit will be automagically emailed to you four days after you qualify for it, and it must be used 21 days after it is added to your account.
The good thing with this type of offer is that purchases made during the window count, regardless of when you activated the offer. So maybe you made $27 in purchases on November 21st but activated the offer on November 26, you still qualify for the bonus!
The good old market-shaking Panasonic GH5 body only is now going for $1300, but for $200 more, you can get the second generation. But that’s not all. In addition to the $1500 Black Friday sale, the GH5 II is getting some freebies at different retailers:
+ at B&H Photo you get the Think Tank Photo Retrospective 7M Shoulder Bag (Pinestone)
+ at Adorama you get Capture One PRO 21 (product key card)
+ OR Accessories kit with 128GB Lexar UHS-II SDXC, shoulder bag, etc
+ at Focus via Amazon you get a Koah waterproof hard case and 64GB Kodak UHS-II V90 SDXC
And now we go to Sony full frame mirrorless, and credit to Sony for doing this before CaNiKoN thought it was cool. Yes, Sony is a mirrorless hipster 😉
The Sony a7R III (V2) body only is on sale for $1998 at various authorized Sony USA dealers, but Adorama, as it often the case, takes it to the next level with various FREE accessory bundles.
I am posting a link to one of the Sony a7R III body (v2) listings and you can find the rest of them through the “tab” options over there:
+ External Flash kit with Flashpoint Zoom Li-ion R2 TTL On-Camera Flash Speedlight for Sony
+ Tripod Kit with the Vanguard VEO 2 235AB 5 Section Aluminum Tripod with VEO 2 BH-50 Ball Head, slinger bag, 64GB Extreme PRO SDXC
+ Accessorapalooza kit with 128GB Lexar UHS-II SDXC, shoulder bag, Green Extreme battery, Peak Design strap, etc
This is I believe the first time I’m mentioning this brand on this blog, it is the new condition Matterport Pro2 3D Camera on sale for $2200 for the Black Friday season. But there are also a few other bundles that cost a bit more and vary slightly at each one of the retailers offering it such as at Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon….
If you are looking for any kind of lighting offers, Adorama has a big exclusive Lighting sale. Exclusive because a lot (but not all) of the items offered are their house-brand products (eg Flashpoint) where they have full control of pricing, so they can offer whatever they want without MAP and other restrictions…
Coupon code CYBERMONDAY2021 gets you 25% off RENTAL orders from Borrow Lenses that run for AT LEAST five days. Rental orders of $149+ get free standard shipping. You can use the coupon code for multiple orders during this promotion.
You must place the rental orders by 11/30/21 at 11:59pm pacific time. The actual rental orders can be scheduled for as late as January 31 in 2022. Yes, we have to prepare to be writing 2022 instead of 2021 🙂
BL offers no-cost cancellations up to a day before the rental ships.
If you like to purchase USED gear, coupon code BLACKFRIDAY2021 gets you 25% off purchases there at Borrow Lenses. As you can expect, most of these are used gear that was previously used in rentals. Coupon works until 12/8/21 at 11:59pm pacific or while supplies last…
Speaking of used camera gear, if you missed our earlier post, KEH Camera is offering 10% off and 365-day warranties on many (but not all) items they offer. Check the aforelinked post for all the details…
Warning! This is a “Temptation” post, not an actual deal post!
Do you like fast lenses? About a month ago B&H Photo posted a Mega Round-up of Fast Lenses and lots of lenses are mentioned, not just the major-name manufacturers but also some of the up-and-coming.
The lenses are too many to list here individually, and too many to price-check right now, but you can follow the links to the B&H product pages at the aforelinked mega round-up article and see what Black Friday offers they have.
There is a big Adobe sale at B&H Photo as well, headlined by a 12-month Creative Cloud subscription that goes for $192 for those eligible for the academic (student/teacher) edition and $480 for the rest…
For fans of all things Apple, B&H Photo is running an Apple Holiday sale that includes all kinds of Apple products (too many to list here individually) including some of the products using Apple’s new ground-breaking and Intel-panicking M chips! 🙂
And now we have a tech gift idea round-up [why not?], whether it is for you, or for your friends and family and frenemies 😉 We are talking about one of the hottest items in the market, major name-brand large headphones with both bluetooth and active noise cancelling…
+ SONY WH-1000X M4 (aka Mark 4) for $248 in two color options at B&H Photo and Amazon and Adorama (which offers a FREE Morphie 20,800 mAh powerbank and a cleaning cloth)
+ BOSE Quiet Comfort 45 for $279 in two color options at B&H Photo and Amazon and Adorama
+ APPLE Airpods MAX for $479 (Apple Tax (but not Sales Tax) included in the price) in various color options at B&H Photo and Amazon
+ not on sale at Adorama
Surprise-surprise, this time around Adorama does not offer any freebies, while Amazon wins the “Freebies War” as they offer an extra GoPRO dual-charger [the standard kit does not include a charger, only a charging cable] and an extra GoPRO Hero 9 battery (I’m assuming it is compatible) with their GoPRO HERO 10 Black for the standard BF sale price of $450.
Finishing second in the freebies game is B&H Photo which offers the 128GB Lexar 1066x UHS-I U3 A2 V30 microSDXC…
Time-permitting we’ll have a proper “Bag the Bags” round-up but for now, we have a deal on one of the most popular/recognizable bags, the Lowepro Slingshot SL 250 AW III, on sale for $60 with free US shipping at B&H Photo until 11/28/21 or earlier if sold out… As of the time of writing Amazon and Adorama have it at the regular price of $100.
And we are back with another round of Black Friday postings! We start with Nikon’s Full Frame Inch 😉
The Nikon Z5 body only is down to $997, yes, a triple figure 35mm full frame mirrorless, but that’s not all!
