Canon 5D Mark III w/24-105 f4 with Pixma PRO 100 and Paper and 55-inch LG 4K UHD TV for $3100 after $350 MIR (prepaid AMEX GC)

The Canon DSLR bundles with the PIXMA PRO printers are common enough, but Adorama is taking things to a whole another level by bundling those with a 55″ Ultra HD TV! So let’s start from the beginning, this is a Canon 5D Mark III super bundle. You pay $3450 at checkout, receive the order, make sure all is well, submit the mail-in rebate following the deadlines/instructions, and a few months later you receive a $350 prepaid American Express gift card by mail, making it a $3100 after $350 MIR offer. What you get:

  • Canon 5D Mark III with 24-105mm f4 kit
  • Canon PIXMA PRO 100 printer
  • its trusty sidekick LU-101, 50pk 13×19″ Canon photo paper
  • LG Electronics UH6550 55″ 4K UHD Smart LED TV, 120Hz TruMotion, Color Prime Pro
  • $350 prepaid American Express gift card (the mail-in rebate)

The mail-in rebate is the standard Canon DSLR + Pixma printer mail-in rebate. It has nothing to do with the LG TV.

Official Canon USA store launches Black Friday Sale

The official Canon USA online store has launched their Black Friday sale. I will “digest” this later today, but in the meantime, if you are interested in Canonalia, be sure to visit it. Unfortunately my brain is a single-core Celeron, there’s only so much I can do. If only I was a hyper-threaded octacore 🙂

Internets Price-Match Canon D-Rebel T6i w/18-55 and 55-250 for $800

Amid this chaos, we continue to price-check the BF ads in the Black Friday Ads Digest post, the latest one to get matched by the internets is the Canon D-Rebel T6i two-lens kit with the 18-55 and 55-250 lenses for $800. The online match is at B&H Photo with 2% rewards, 32GB Sandisk, Canon bag, for $800 with free expedited shipping. As of the time of writing, this kit is not available at Amazon or Adorama (or I couldn’t find it).

Adorama defeats the Black Friday Ads for the Canon D-Rebel T6 with free Canon Printer and Corel Software and more (T6 w/18-55 and 75-300 for $450)

The Canon D-Rebel T6 two-lens kit (18-55, 75-300) for $450 is perhaps the most advertised of DSLRs at the Black Friday Ads, offered at least at Office Depot/MAX and BJ’s Wholesale and HH Gregg and Target and Walmart and Best Buy.

Now this offer has been handily defeated by Adorama offering the following additional free accessories to the two-lens kit: Canon Pixma MX922 wireless AiO printer, and Corel software bundle (including PSP X8 and AfterShot PRO 2), extra 3rd-party battery, 58mm UV filter, 16GB SD card, and the obligatory cleaning kit.

B&H Photo offers 2% rewards ($9 in future purchases there) and 16GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC and Sunpak 58mm Filter Kit, while Amazon itself includes a 32GB Lexar Professional and a Wasabi charger with two extra Wasabi batteries [this is NOT edible Wasabi].

(SOLD OUT) Friday: Canon D-Rebel T6 w/18-55 and 75-300 for $399 with Meh warranty

As of 8:21pm ET recheck, this sold out…

The Meh deal of the day for Black Friday is usurping the official Black Friday Ads by offering the Canon D-Rebel T6 two-lens kit (18-55, 75-300) for $50 less. They can do this because they are not authorized Canon dealers, so their kit comes with a 1-year warranty from Meh, not Canon USA.

The Canon USA blessed kit goes for $450 by various sellers that offer a variety of free accessories.

The way Meh explains the whole MAP thing is very refreshing:
