Welcome to the Camera Dome :)

Good until 2:20am ET on Friday, the new condition Rokinon 100mm F2.8 ED UMC Full Frame Telephoto Macro is a lightning deal for $389~ with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself, only in the Sony Alpha mount. The Gold Box link pointed to the Sony E. The Gold Box sometimes has issues identifying the correct model when there are multiple variations/options on the same listing.

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 😉
The DSLR action continues at the Canon Outlet store with the manufacturer refurbished Canon 70D with 18-135mmm IS STM EF-S going for $780 with free shipping and a 1-year Canon warranty.
In comparison, the refurbished 80D with 18-135 goes for $1079, while the new condition 80D with 18-135mm goes for $1299 (eg B&H Photo with various extras).
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 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.
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 🙂
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 🙁
This lightning deal ended within 30 minutes of going live…
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 🙂

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.
As Larry David would say, this is pretty, pretty, pretty good!
The official Canon USA store launched a 17-item Pre Black Friday sale, and one of the items offered is the manufacturer refurbished Canon D-Rebel T6i with 18-55 IS STM offered for $449 with free shipping and a 1-year Canon USA warranty and a free Magnifier MG-Ef. It is in-stock as of the time of writing.
In new condition this kit goes for $749 at authorized Canon dealers such as Adorama.
Not a bad price for a “take pictures” with kit with a 1-year warranty.
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.
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.
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.
If you have a Canon 6D or plan to buy one and need another battery grip or one that won’t break the bank Canon-style, the latest Adorama featured sales include the new condition Green Extreme BG-E13 Battery Grip for Canon EOS 6D for $33 plus shipping (around $5, may vary slightly by location).
But that’s not all, other Green Extreme Battery grips are on sale as well:
+ Green Extreme for Canon 5D Mark IV for $39 with free S&H
+ Green Extreme for Canon 7D Mark II for $33 plus shipping (around $6)
+ Green Extreme for Canon 70D or 80D for $33 plus shipping (around $7)
These weekly sales expired…
