Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
These offers expired…
NOTE that all your eligible USED purchases (“BGN” or better condition) at KEH until 12/31/17 automatically get a 365-day warranty instead of their usual 180-day warranty. No coupon is needed for this. Conditions worse than “BGN”, such as “AS IS” or “UG” (Ugly) are not and were not eligible for the 365/180-day warranties.
The new condition Nikon D3400 with 18-55 DX VR goes for $400 at authorized dealers, or $500 in the two lens kit. BuyDIG offers the two lens kit in manufacturer refurbished condition for $400.
BUT if you prefer the D3400 with 18-55mm kit instead of the two-lens kit, it goes for $400 in new condition at authorized dealers, or you can get it in manufacturer refurbished condition for $300 with free shipping and a 90-day USA warranty from the BuyDIG eBAY store. Limit five per customer.
The new condition Nikon D3400 two-lens kit with the 18-55 DX VR and 70-300 DX non-VR goes for $500 at authorized dealers as part of the Black Friday festivities, with a variety of freebies at each retailer, such as Adorama and B&H Photo (with extras) and BuyDIG.
But if you want to save another $100, to the eBAY Deals we go, where the BuyDIG eBAY store is offering it in manufacturer refurbished condition for $400 with free shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty. You can buy up to three kits per customer. The red color scheme is sold out, but the standard black color scheme is still available.
Speaking of eBAY, you can pay $90 and get a $100 Barnes and Noble Gift Card with free shipping. This is a plastic gift card delivered by mail. Limit up to three peer customer.
UPDATE: here’s another eBAY deal, the official Best Buy eBAY store is offering the new condition Targus City Laptop Backpack for $10 with free shipping.
A $200 discount is a pretty nice amount, except when the price of the camera is $5700. Still, $5500 is better than $5700, $200 can get you more memory cards or extra batteries or camera bags 🙂 The 1D X II is now going for $5500 with free accessories at Adorama and 2% promotional rewards (that’s a nice sum of $110 to spend in the future) at B&H Photo.
No freebies at Amazon but that 5% statement credit if you pay with a Prime VISA or Prime Store credit card is $275! Note that the Discover Q4 5% Cashback is limited to $1500 per credit card, so you’ll only get 5% back on the first $1500 of this price.
The Nikon D500 dropped $100 since our previous check, but not only that, it gained a new friend, the Nikon MB-D17 battery grip for FREE! So $1800 gets you the D7200 body only with said MB-D17 battery grip and freebies that vary by retailer. This time Amazon is offering freebies (128GB Samsung EVO green microSD, bag), along with Adorama and B&H Photo offering their own sets of freebies.
The same promotion is also available for the D500 with 16-80mm kit which goes for $2400. It is interlinked in the listings of all the above retailers.
The Nikon D7500 body only remains at $1250, but having the previous generation model around gave Nikon the flexibility to create a discount since their prices were artificially too close to begin with. To cut a long story short, the Nikon D7200 body only dropped from $1000 to $800 since ten days ago. The other kits get parallel discounts. I don’t mention them all because it would take forever to do these posts.
So the $800 price, or $797 to be more specific, is available by Amazon itself (5% back with Prime VISA, or Discover Q4 cashback; I won’t repeat these in every post because it will take forever to post anything!) and Adorama (with freebies) and B&H Photo (with freebies).
Ten days ago when I did a price-check round the Canon 77D body only increased from $800 to $850, but right now, as part of the Black Friday festivities, the 77D body only is down to $750, the 70D with 18-55 for $900 and with 18-135 for $1149. You also get some free accessories that vary by retailer at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon itself (no freebies).
PS: we already mentioned the Canon 80D discounts both the new condition and the manufacturer refurbished, so obviously I am not going to create another post for them.
Sigma has a Foveon DSLR deal even! The price of the SD1 body only remains $1800, but they have dropped the price of the SD1 with 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM to $2000, so for $200 more you are getting a stabilized zoom with it. This is a special order so they won’t ship immediately at both Adorama and B&H Photo.
And now, the moment you have all been waiting for! I am beginning a full price check of all cameras tracked in the Camera Price Charts. This will basically cover almost all of the DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, along with the serious fixed lens cameras with RAW (above 1/2.x” sensor size). Hide your wallets!
We start in K-landia where the Pentax K-3 II body only has dripped down to $830 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself with a up to three units per customer.
But if you want the official Pentax battery grip to go with it, the BG-5, you can get them together as a bundle for $847 with free shipping at B&H Photo.
There are so many refurbished sales at Canon I can’t process/post them all individually right now, so here is are the overview listing. I don’t know why they create so many listings, and I don’t know if there is complete or partial overlap between the categories. It is situations like these where it would really help if I was IBM’s Watson and could start 200 background process to sort it out!
+ 38 refurbished DSLR kits
+ 21 refurbished DSLR kit
+ nine refurbished DSLR kits
+ 97 refurbished lenses and flashes and such
+ 11 refurbished lenses
+ 7 refurbished lenses (some are EF-M)
+ 6 refurbished lenses
+ 3 refurbished lenses
The latest model is the Canon EF 16–35mm f/2.8L III lens that goes with an “L flagship” price of $1999 in new condition at authorized Canon dealers like Amazon and such. The previous generation is the “II” and it goes for $1300 in new condition at authorized dealers such as Adorama.
But if you want to save even more, you can get the second generation model, the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II as manufacturer refurbished for $900 at the Canon USA store with a 1-year Canon warranty. It is in-stock as of this post.
The new condition Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM lens goes for $499 at authorized Canon USA dealers such as Adorama and Adorama and Amazon. But if you are comfortable with refurbished…
… then to the Canon USA outlet store we go where you can get this lens in manufacturer refurbished condition for $380 with free shipping and a 1-year Canon USA warranty. It is in-stock as of this post.
The new condition Canon 80D with the 18-135mm IS STM lens goes for $1300 but you can zoom in with it for significantly less by getting the manufacturer refurbished condition from the official Canon USA outlet with a 1-year warranty for $949 with free shipping. A “latest generation” with a versatile lens!
The latest model is the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM, going for $500 in new condition at authorized Canon USA dealers such as B&H Photo and Adorama. The first generation goes for $450 in new condition. Given the $50 price different, if you are gonna get the first generation…
… then you might as well get it in manufacturer refurbished condition with a 1-year Canon USA warranty for $230 with free shipping from the official Canon USA store. That’s almost half the price! Zoom-zoom!
The D-Rebel T6 in gray looks nice, but if you are looking for an entry-level entry-point into the Canon DSLR system without breaking the bank, the Canon USA outlet store is offering the standard black color scheme of this manufacturer refurbished Canon D-Rebel T6 two-lens kit for $250 with free shipping and a 1-year warranty. The lenses are the 18-55 and 75-300, the standard two-lens kit. No need to fight the crowds at Fry’s 🙂 It is in-stock as of the time of writing!
For collectors and completists mayhaps, of fans of all things gray, the official Canon USA store now has in-stock the Canon D-Rebel T6 in a Gray color scheme bundled with the standard 18-55 IS STM lens for $400. This is an available alert of a limited edition color, not a deal!
It kinda looks nice:
If of all the Canon APS-C DSLRs out there it is the Canon SL1 the one you want, in the black color scheme (not the Stormtrooper), the Canon USA outlet store created a Black Friday Bundle for it for $500. You get the new condition Canon SL1 with 18-55 IS STM plus the refurbished 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS STM along with a bag and 8GB SD card. One year warranty with new or refurbished items purchased there. It is in-stock as of the time of writing.
I think we found their theme here, just like the 70D black friday bundle, they took a new previous-generation DSLR kit and bundled it with a refurbished item. Interesting development 🙂
If of all the Canon APS-C DSLRs out there it is the Canon 70D the one you want, the Canon USA Outlet store has a Black Friday 70D bundle which is in-stock as of the time of writing and includes the 70D body only, the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens, the Speedlite 430EX III-RT Refurbished along with a gadget bag and 8GB card for $900 with free shipping.
Only the flash is refurbished, the camera and lens are new condition. When you click on their little blue links in the bundle, they take you to the new condition pages of the 70D and 70-30mm.
PS: another option is the manufacturer refurbished 70D with 18-135 IS STM for $790. No flash here though.
The official Canon USA store too has launched their Black Friday sales! I totally forgot about them! I will be digging into them and spotlighting select features. Their new condition sales are mostly similar to what you find at authorized Canon dealers but they have exclusive access to their own manufacturer refurbished!
UPDATE: You can find the spotlighted (spotlit?) deals as I post them under the Canon category.
The Pentax K-1 body only is bundled with Pentax D-BG6 Battery Grip, together for $1900 at B&H Photo… The Pentax HD Pentax-D FA 24-70mm f/2.8ED SDM WR is on sale for $1100 with free shipping on its own as part of the B&H Black Friday sales… Or you can get them together for the same total price ($2994) as a bundle.
Sigma is back with a Black Friday Lens Sale featuring 92 products in this promotion nicely organized at B&H Photo. Almost all of them are lenses, along with a couple of flashes and converters/adapters. They are available in Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sigma and Sony A. You can use the options on the left hand side over there to filter by these and more.
Speaking of B&H Photo, they have a massive Apple sale featuring laptops, iPads, Mac Minis, and more. Click on “Load More” at the bottom of the page to see more.
Adorama has created a nice visual page with their Best Canon, Nikon and Sony offers from the latest round of instant savings. This is very handy because I can’t find time to create summaries or even go through all the Instant Savings promotions of every manufacturer. For next Black Friday, I am definitely merging with IBM’s Watson 🙂
Impromptu Lightning Deals Updates
These expired…
A new Star Wars movie is less than a month away, and if you are feeling unofficial Stormtrooper pride, the white color scheme of the Canon SL2 with the 18-55mm IS STM lens is now down to $599 with free shipping as well (this was released a few weeks ago, long after the original black SL2 came out) at Amazon by Amazon itself and at B&H Photo with free 16GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC and Corel Paintshop PRO 2018 (in case you want to correct the Stormtrooper’s shooting in post).
The two Rokinon lightning deals go live at 7:05pm ET and 8:20pm ET tonight, but there’s more Rokinon action, not a lightning deal but a Black Friday bundle, the Rokinon 24, 35, 50, 85mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens Bundle is discounted to $1649 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo in the Nikon, Canon, Sony E and M43rds. That’s $412.50 per lens 🙂
Earlier today we mentioned the 35mm f0.95 II sale but that’s not all! There’s more Mitakon Zhongyi action, their 20mm f/2 4.5x Super Macro Lens is onsale for $149 with free shipping at B&H Photo in the Canon, Nikon, Sony and Pentax SLR systems, but that’s not all, it is also available in four mirrorless systems, M43rds, Fuji X, Sony E and Canon EF-M.
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.
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.
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!
UPDATE: you can also find the Sigma ART DSLR Lens Sale at Adorama, broken down by mount, in Canon, Nikon, Sony A, Sigma, Pentax K, and mount converters (Sigma lenses to Sony E cameras).
The Black Friday Ads have the Nikon D3400 with 18-55 for $400 and the two lens kit (with 70-300 DX) for $500, but you don’t have to wait for the actual Black Friday, the internets have already price-matched those offers as follows:
+ D3400 with 18-55 for $400 at Adorama (with extras) and BuyDIG
+ D3400 with 18-55 and 70-300 DX for $500 at Adorama (with extras) and B&H Photo (with extras) and BuyDIG (with extras)
+ D3400 RED with 18-55 and 70-300 DX and 35/1.8 DX for $700 at Adorama (with extras)
Before Canon took mirrorless more seriously, they tried to tempt mirrorless-tempted photographers with their new SL-series. Fast forward to now, the Canon SL2 body only is down to $499 with free shipping at BuyDIG and Adorama and various at Amazon… This went for $550 a couple of weeks ago when I posted the APS-C dSLR price charts…
