If you are a fan of fish and eyes, you may also be a fan of fisheye lenses!

Free Battery Grips with D500, D750, D810; Free $80 Rewards with 24-70/2.8E for $2197, Etc
There are plenty of Nikon Sales at B&H Photo, including the professional Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR Lens for $2197 with free expedited shipping and 4% promotional rewards which are about $88 to be spent in future purchases at B&H.
A variety of DSLRs and lenses are participating, including the free battery grip promotions for the Nikon D500 kits and the Nikon D810 kits and the Nikon D750 kits.
No free battery grip for the D850. I suspect some photographers would be willing to give Nikon a battery grip for a chance to get the D850 🙂 Speaking of the D850, I just rechecked, it remains in pre-order/backorder at B&H and Adorama, and at the all-encompassing and all-frustrating when you are waiting for a new camera to arrive “temporarily out of stock” at Amazon.

Canon 1D X II drops to $5500
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.
Nikon D500 Body + FREE MB-D17 Battery Grip for $1800
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.
Nikon D7200 body only drops to $797
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).
Canon 77D body drops to $750
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 SD1 with 18-200 DC OS HSM for $2000
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.
Pentax K-3 II Body drops to $830 or $846 with BG-5 Battery Grip
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.
Refurbished Canons: 38+ DSLR kits and 97+ Lenses
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.

+ 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)

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…

Refurbished Canon D-Rebel T6 w/18-55 & 75-300 for $250
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.

It kinda looks nice:
Canon SL1 with 18-55 and refurb 55-250 for $500
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 🙂
Canon 70D body with 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM + refurb 430 EX III-RT Flash for $900

PS: another option is the manufacturer refurbished 70D with 18-135 IS STM for $790. No flash here though.
Canon Outlet Black Friday sales
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.

Adorama’s Best of Canon, Nikon and Sony
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 🙂
