IF however you are not interested in the previously mentioned Sony a6000 new condition kits and instead you can to optimize for a lower price, Adorama has the USED a6000 body only for $279 in “Used – Very Good” condition with a 90-day warranty (from Adorama).
The Sony Instant Savings promotion reminds us that you can get into the Sony APS-C E-system with a step-up series camera (A6xxx) for just $398. That’s right, the a6000 body only goes for $398 and the “with 16-50mm” kit goes for $448.
At Adorama you have to do some scrolling and paging up-n-down to find all the options but you will be rewards because the “with 16-50” kit gets more additional freebies (flex tripod, extra charger/battery, lens filters, better memory card) than the body only (bag, memory card, cleaning kit, software, card wallet). Note also that the camera is available in two color options, effectively doubling the number of options you have to sort through…
At B&H Photo you get a 32GB Sandisk Extreme, a 3rd-party battery and a camera bag, while the two lens kit ($598) gets a lens filter as well…
At Amazon, various 3rd-party sellers offer various freebies, a dizzying array of options as there are three official camera kits with two body colors for the camera and many 3rd party retailers 🙂
The names in the a6xx line-up are a bit confused, so confused that even the Wikipedia page is confused. The a6000 come out in 2014, followed by the a6300/a6500 in 2016, and the a6100/a6400/a6600 in 2019, all with 24mp Exmor APS-C CMOS sensors. The newer a6300 has already been discontinued but the a6000 continues as a current model. The all-new a6100 goes for $650 (body) or $750 (w/16-50)…
If you have phones, tablets, laptops, cameras, action cameras and other gear that use microSD cards (or don’t object to using them in full-size SD slots with the included adapted), the 128GB Sandisk Extreme microSDXC (C10, UHS-I, V30, U3, A2, etc) is on sale for $20 at various dealers including Adorama and Amazon and B&H Photo and Best Buy. With so many retailers offering it, even if they have individual per-customer limits, you can scoop them up from multiple retailers…
With all this Cyber Monday talk, we forgot about Dre! We also forgot about Adorama’s Daily Deal which currently is the new condition Flashpoint Zoom Li-on X R2 TTL On-Camera Round Flash Speedlight for $159 with free US shipping, available for Canon, Nikon, Sony TTL, Fuji, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax for a limited time…

Or if you prefer it bundled with various accessories, those various options go for $279 at Adorama…
The Nexus phones (and more importantly the Nexus mentality) are not coming back at Google any time soon, so for now, it’s the Pixels!

PS: on the Amazon Store credit card, if you select a special no-interest financing promotion, you typically do not earn the 5% cashback (one of the two benefits but not both)…
We have an ebook freebie that is of direct camera-and-photo interest, and for a limited time, the University of Chicago (UoC) is offering it for FREE. However, the ebooks they sell come with DRM, Adobe Digital Editions, so you need to install their crap on your computer or use a mobile app that is compatible with their crap in order to read it.
The UoC freebie ebook for this month is “The Camera Does the Rest: How Polaroid Changed Photography” by Peter Buse (320 pages). UoC offers one free ebook each month but every time it is with Adobe’s nasty DRM stuff.
IF you are curious about the ebook without committing to Adobe’s DRM, you can “Look Inside” at amazon.com (they only have a Kindle preview, no preview of the hardcover).
PS: typically Kindle previews are a number of pages (or a percentage of the ebook) starting from the front cover, while hardcover previews jump all over the book and you can get a better feel for it ~ depending on the book of course…
If you want the new condition Canon G9X II rawsumer, it is currently on sale with some modest freebies, for $399 at Adorama and B&H Photo…
IF however you want the Canon Pixma PRO 100 printer, and you do not object to mail-in rebates and prepaid AMEX gift cards, B&H Photo has a Pixma bundle for $739 minus a $350 prepaid AMEX gift card = $389. The bundle also includes the printer’s trusty sidekick, the 50pk of 13×19″ Luster photo paper.
The camera is available in either the black or the silver color schemes…
