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:
Nikon D3400 with 18-55 & 70-300 & Extras for $500
A parallel offer to the D5300 two-lens kit, the Nikon D3400 two lens kit is bundled with the Nikon 18-55 and 70-300 lenses, along with a bag and 16GB Sandisk SD card and 2% promotional reward (around $10 to be used in future purchases) at B&H Photo… This is yet another one of the glossy Black Friday ads we digested that is getting price-matched online (as it happens every year)…
Nikon D5300 w/18-55 & 70-300 & $12 rewards for $600
Another one of the Black Friday Glossy Ads is getting price-matched online as well, the Nikon D5300 with the 18-55 and 70-300mm lenses is now available for $600 with free shipping at B&H Photo with 2% promotional rewards ($12~ to be used in future B&H purchases). Offer ends 11/26/16 at 11:59pm ET… This too is within their latest specials…
Canon SL1 w/18-55 and 75-300 and Extras for $499
The Canon SL1 is bundled with the 18-55mm and 75-300mm lenses for $499 with free shipping at B&H Photo which also includes 4% promotional rewards ($20~ to be used in future purchases)… Or if you prefer free accessories, Adorama [corrected link] is bundling it with Corel software, bag, SD, etc for the same price…
Internets price-match Canon 80D w/18-135 Black Friday offer (with free accessories)
The price-checking of the Black Friday Ads continues with the most high-end of the glossy-advertised Black Friday ads price-matched, the Canon 80D with 18-135 is now going for $1400 at various online dealers with a variety of free accessories at each: Amazon itself (bag, extra charger/battery, SD) and B&H Photo (2% rewards, bag, 32GB Extreme, extra battery) and Adorama (with lots of free accessories: Corel, Bag, SD, Filters, etc)
Nikon APS-C D5xxx and D3xxx: Wait for Black Friday Offers to go live (or get matched/defeated)
If you are looking for a Nikon APS-C DSLR with lenses in the D5xx and D3xxx lines, you may want to wait until the Black Friday Ads. As of the time of writing, they have not been price-matched by the internets, which likely means Nikon has not yet given the green light for these offers to go live.
Why wait? The various Black Friday ads have the Nikon D5500 with 18-55 and 70-300 going for $600 and the D3400 with 18-55 and 70-300 going for $500. These prices handily defeat the current (as of the time of writing) prices at Amazon, B&H and Adorama. So patience will likely get you the above prices or even better if the aforementioned online retailers bundle them with more free accessories when their versions go live.
Here’s a screenshot of the Best Buy D5300 BF ad:
