Canon 6D Body with 4TB HDD, 64GB SDXC for $1199

If you have decided on the 6D over the 6D II, or don’t want to deal with printer mail-in rebates and such, B&H Photo is also offering a Canon 6D body only (first generation) for $1199 with free expedited shipping, a drop of $100 since yesterday. You also get the following freebies: 4TB Western Digital MyPassport USB 3.0 External HDD and a 64GB Sandisk Extreme PRO memory card. No coupons, no rebates, just add to cart and proceed to checkout 🙂

The Canon 6D body went for $1400 when I posted the 35mm Full Frame Price charts a couple of weeks ago, while the Canon 5D Mark III went for $2300.

Internets price-match Black Friday Canon D-Rebels

+ NOTE that this (without the MX922) is going to be an old fashion $300 Fry’s actual Black Friday B&M doorbuster
+ NOTE also that the official Canon USA store has it manufacturer refurbished with a 1-year warranty for $310 (no MX992 printer)

Canon 5D Mark IV Body with BG-E20 Battery Grip and Pixma PRO 100 printer and Extras for $2849 after $350 MIR

If you are not afraid of mail-in rebates and prepaid gift cards, B&H Photo has a Canon 5D Mark IV body only bundle for $2849 after a $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX GC). For that you get the Canon 5D Mark IV body only, the Canon BG-E20 battery grip, the Pixma PRO 100 printer and its 50pk SG-201 paper sidekick, a 64GB Sandisk Extreme SDXC and an extra Canon LP-E6N battery.

Canon 6D II Body with BG-E21 Battery Grip and Pixma PRO 100 printer and Extras for $1349 after $350 MIR

If you are not afraid of mail-in rebates, B&H Photo has a 6D Mark II Body Bundle for $1349 after a $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX GC). You get the 6D Mark II body only, the Canon BG-E21 battery grip, the Pixma PRO 100 printer and its 50pk SG-201 paper sidekick, a 64GB Sandisk Extreme SDXC and an extra Canon LP-E6 battery.

Nikon D7200 body for $800, Two Lens Kit $1000, w/18-140 $1100

The Nikon D7200 is another one of the Black Friday Ads DSLRs and sure enough the internets have already price-matched it as follows:

+ D7200 body for $800 at Adorama (with extras) and B&H Photo (with extras)

+ D7200 with 18=55 and 70-300 DX for $1000 at Adorama (with extras)

Zeiss Milvus 85mm f1.4 for $1530

On the DSLR side of Zeiss, the new condition Zeiss Milvus 85mm f/1.4 lens is on sale for $1530 at B&H Photo. The price of this lens was $1799 on Wednesday… For more action, check all the B&H Photo Black Friday sales

Canon EF 75-300mm f4-5.6 III USM for $100

A new offer went live at Adorama, the new condition Canon EF 75-300mm F/4-5.6 III USM is on sale for $99 with free expedited shipping and $4 in promotional rewards (to be used in the future at Adorama). This is the USM version of the lens. The one found in most Canon DSLR two-lens kit bundles is the non-USM version.

Used Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DI-II VC for $125 [C]

The popularity of superzoom digital cameras also fueled a parallel superzoom lens “zoom ratio war”. If instead you prefer a more modest, old-school superzoom ratio, the Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DI-II VC goes for $199 in new condition, or you can get it for $179 manufacturer refurbished at Adorama.

If you are a Canon shooter and if you are looking to save a sizeable chunk of that, thanks to the 20% off in-cart promotion at Amazon Warehouse Deals, you can get this camera in USED – Very Good condition for $124~ with free shipping after the in-cart discount. There are multiple listings of this, so price may drop over time. Remember, AWD offers a 30-day return policy, but makes no warranty promises.

If you are looking for something in-between those two options, the Nikon version is available in USED EX+ condition (Excellent plus) at KEH Camera for $149 plus shipping. And if you buy it before 12/31/17, you get a 365-day warranty instead of the usual 180-day.

Imported Canon 5D Mark IV body with 1-YR Seller W for $2550

For $2849, you can get a loaded Canon 5D Mark IV bundle after mail-in rebate, but if you don’t want to deal with mail-in rebates, and don’t need/want the printer and the battery grip, AND you are comfortable with imported cameras…

… to the eBay Deals we go, where eBay seller “6ave” (98.9%) is offering it in new condition imported-grey market with a 1-year seller warranty (not Canon USA warranty) for $2550 with free shipping.

So it’s a game of trade offs:
+ mail-in rebate and prepaid gift card
+ USA warranty VS seller warranty
+ extra Printer and Battery Grip
+ A-list seller vs eBay seller
+ higher price vs lower price
+ sell/trade extras or no wish to do that

PS: we have a relatively new tag, Full Frame Deals that marks all the cameras that have a 35mm full frame sensor, whether they are DSLRs, mirrorless, fixed lens, or floating lens cube.

PS2: “W” is short for Warranty. With this blog template, I am trying to keep blog-post-titles one line long. If it goes for more than one line, it better make use of most of the second line, otherwise it’s wasted space. Although some could argue this whole blog is wasted space 😉

Canon 5D Mark IV Body with BG-E20 Battery Grip, Pixma PRO 100, Extras for $2849 after $350 MIR (prepaid AMEX)

Full frame party! This Canon 5D Mark IV body only bundle at B&H Photo gets you the following items for $2849 after a $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX gift card):

+ Canon 5D Mark IV body only kit
+ Canon BG-E20 Battery Grip
+ Canon Pixma PRO 100 printer
+ its trusty sidekick the 50pk of 13×19″ photo paper
+ 64GB Sandisk Extreme PRO
+ extra Watson battery

This is a pretty good deal on its own, without even factoring in the mail-in rebate. The 5D IV body only went for $3300 on its own (without the printer and battery grip) a couple of weeks ago when I posted the Full Frame Price Charts.

Refurbished Canon D-Rebel T6 w/18-55 & 75-300 & 1-YR Warranty for $310

If you don’t live anywhere near, or if you don’t want to fight the crowds and lady luck for the $300 Fry’s Canon DSLR doorbuster (most likely Canon D-Rebel T6 with 18-55 and 75-300), fear not, there is an alternative without any hassle…

… the official Canon store comes to the rescue because they are offering the manufacturer refurbished Canon D-Rebel T6 with 18-55 and 75-300 for $310 with free shipping and a 1-year Canon USA warranty.

Take that painful doorbuster 😉

Refurbished Canon 70D with 18-135mm IS STM EF-S with 1-Year Warranty for $779

Refurbished Nikon D7200 w/90-Day W for $650

The Nikon D500 APS-C flagship currently goes for $1800 with a free MB-D17 battery grip in new condition at authorized dealers. But if you want a serious Nikon APS-C DSLR while almost 1/3rd of that price…

… then to the eBay Deals we go, where the BuyDIG eBAY store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D7200 body only for $650 with free shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty. Limit up to three per customer.

eBay reveals Cameras in their BF Ad – most likely imported/grey-market

eBay has revealed their eight page Black Friday ad and it has about half a dozen digital cameras in it. The eBay ad however does not specify the seller of the camera, the warranty situation, or the condition of the product, so that’s a mystery until the deal goes live. Judging by the prices, it looks like most of them are probably going to be imported/grey-market. About half of them are 35mm full frame cameras.

We integrated eBay’s offers in the Black Friday 2017 Ads Digest. You can find all the eBay additions by using your browser’s search function looking for “eBay” (not case sensitive).

I will price-check and dig around on eBay to see if these are already live.

Nikon 50mm f1.8G with Extras for $177

There are a handful of lenses participating in the current Nikon Instant Savings, one of which is the classic prime, the 50mm f1.8G AF-S FX going for $177 with free shipping at authorized dealers.

At Adorama you get a FREE ProOptic 58mm Digital Essentials Filter Kit, while at B&H Photo you get 4% promotional rewards ($7~ to spend in future purchases). At Amazon, some 3rd-party sellers offer freebies and if you pay with the Prime VISA (or activated the Discover Q4 Bonus Cashback) you get 5% back as a statement credit.

PS: there are many and more things to post, I really wish I was IBM’s Watson 🙂

(ENDED) Samyang 24mm f3.5 Tilt Shift Lens for $558

That didn’t last long! As of a Wednesday 9:06pm ET recheck, this is sold out and the listing is closed! That was less than 25 minutes after it went live. The percentages were in single figures the last time I checked. Regardless, it is over 🙁

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 🙂

Refurbished Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM w/1-YR warranty for $280

The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM lens is bundled with a number of Canon APS-C DSLR kits but it is crazy-priced on its own in new condition at authorized dealers. It currently goes for $600, or you can get it for $400 as a white box at B&H Photo.

But fear not, the Canon Pre-Black-Friday Sale has you covered. The lens is in-stock as of the time of writing, you can get this lens in manufacturer refurbished condition for $280 with free shipping and a 1-year Canon USA warranty.

Canon 6D Body with either FREE BG-E21 Battery Grip or 1-YR Pho Creative Cloud for $1300

Last night we mentioned some of the 6D II offers but there’s more. If you prefer the first generation Canon 6D body only, it dropped from $1400 when we did the 35mm FF Price Chart to $1300 now at authorized dealers, and there are couple of offers with useful freebies for $1300:

+ At B&H Photo you get a FREE 1-Year Adobe Photography Creative Cloud subscription

+ At Canon USA you get a FREE Canon Battery Grip BG-E21. This gets added automatically to our shopping cart while this promotion is running.

Refurbished Canon 24-105mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM with 1-YR warranty for $379

The Canon 24–105mm f/3.5–5.6 IS STM goes for $600 in new condition (eg Adorama) but if you want to save some but still get a 1-year warranty, then…

… to the Canon USA store we go where you can get this lens in manufacturer refurbished condition for $380 with free shipping and a 1-year warranty. It is in-stock as of the time of writing.

New Offer for Nikon D750 kits: FREE MB-D16 Battery Grip, $80 Hiker Backpack and 128GB Samsung EVO microSD

Last night when I posted the Nikon D750 Free Battery Grip promotions, Amazon’s humans, hybrids, and bots were asleep and did not have their own offers running.

But as of this recheck, Amazon created its own bundle, it’s a nice one, you get a FREE $80 AmazonBasics Hiker Camera and Laptop Backpack (link is for reference only; you don’t add it to shopping cart separately), and a 128GB Samsung EVO Select microSD (with matching SD adapter included), along of course with the Nikon MB-D16 Multi Battery Power Pack/Grip for D750.

So the bundles are, the Nikon D750 body only with the MB-D16 battery grip, AB Hiker Backpack and 128GB Samsung EVO microSD for $1500 or the Nikon D750 with 24-120 with the same three freebies for $2000.

All items will be included in the shopping cart automatically and priced accordingly. Amazon finally figured out how to do consumer-friendly bundles 🙂

If you pay with an Amazon Chase Prime VISA credit card, or the Amazon house store credit card, you get 5% back as a statement credit, which is a pretty nice amount considering the price of the cameras, $75 for the body only or $100 for the “with 24-120”.

If you are not a Prime member, but you have the Amazon Chase VISA credit card, you get 3% back as a statement credit, still a solid $45 or $60. Or if you have a Discover credit card, they are running 5% caskback promotions for Q4 of 2017. Note however that the maximum is $1500 per credit card for the quarter (October 1st until December 31st).

I suppose that’s one of the benefits of Amazon having its own brands of products like AmazonBasics, they can bundle them up as they please.
