Adorama is having an end of year Canon Lens Clearance sale using coupon code CAYR7BERD in the shopping cart. You can test the coupon before making a purchase by following the prompts. The coupon is entered under the “Payment” section, click on “Do you have a gift card or promo code?” and enter the coupon code in the second box, the “Enter coupon code” one and hit “Apply”.
Adorama is offering the new condition Profoto B1 500 AirTTL Battery-Powered Monolight Flash for $1800 with Free Overnight Shipping, which is nice. No coupon, no rebate. Note that this is the previous generation model. Earlier in 2017 Profoto released the B1X series.
Amazon has a sale on some of their own AmazonBasics products and among the sale you can get the new condition AmazonBasics Head Strap Camera Mount for GoPro for $5 with up to three per customer. These are Add-On items, so you must needs place an order of $25+ to get them. Speaking of which, their Small Size AmazonBasics Carrying Case for GoPro goes for $10 (limit five)… Per the search results there, there are over 1660 items under the AmazonBasics brand at the moment…
The official National Geographic store is having a Last Minute Sale featuring a variety of products discounted up to 70% off. There is no coupon code, just add to cart and proceed. As usual, price-check items you are not familiar with price-range-wise, as Nat Geo products can be all over the place across the interweb shops.
Back to the eBay Deals we go, this time it is the official GoPRO eBay store that is offering the manufacturer refurbished GoPro Karma Lite + Black Harness + Karma Grip + Karma Controller + Karma Case for $429 with free shipping and a 1-year warranty. Limit three per customer. GoPRO Hero Camera is NOT included.
Let’s revisit the eBay Deals where the BuyDIG eBay store is back with another featured doorbuster. You can get the new condition Canon PIXMA MX492 AiO Printer for $30 with free shipping after you do the “Add to Cart” song and dance. Limit three per customer. Over 8260 units have been sold from this listing so far per the eBay page over there.
If you want to refill your own account, or buy last minute digital gifts for friends and family, there are a few emailable gift card promotions running as follows:
+ Pay $85 get a $100 iTunes gift card by email from PayPal Digital Gifts (limit 4 per customer) and by Amazon (select $100 denomination, enter coupon code ITUNES15)
+ Pay $45, Get $50 Google Play gift card by email from Amazon (select $50 denomination, enter coupon code GOOGLE)
+ Pay $45, Get $50 Lyft gift card by email from Amazon (select $50 denomination, enter coupon code LYFT)
If you prefer a physical gift card instead, you can get an Amazon plastic gift card bundled with a GUND Holiday 2017 Teddy Bear. Gift card prices range from $100 to $2000. Limit two per customer. Free shipping. Before Christmas delivery is available depending on various factors (the product page and shopping cart will give you a more definite estimate).
Speaking of gifts, good until 9pm ET, you can get a 6pk of Vinyl Record shaped cup coasters for $7.19 (Prime eligible; not Add-On; 71% claimed as of 6:18pm ET)
A wide variety of Apple products are participating in a big Apple Sale at B&H Photo including Macbooks, iMacs, iPads, Mac Minis and even a “cylindrical”. You can do the “Load More” to see them all, or filter them by product category using the options there.
Just in the …nick of time, Santa can deliver the new 7″ Kindle Oasis e-reader. It is back in-stock and ready to ship at Amazon for $250 with free shipping. Limit two per customer!
You can customize it in the shopping cart, the options include:
+$30 for the 32GB version
+$50 for the cellular option
+$20 without Special Offers (you can remove these later)
Depending on which option you select, and where you are, and where the Oasis inventory is at, these may get delivered before Christmas. Their shopping cart and the individual product page will tell you specifically! This for example is the product page for the entry-point model for $250 (Wifi only, 8GB storage, Special Offers).
This is the largest Kindle e-reader screen size since the good old 9.7″ Kindle DX with a built-in keyboard (and no touchscreen). It has a 300ppi screen, IPX8 waterproofness (up to 60 minutes on up to 2 meters of water), physical page turn buttons, can play audiobook but only over bluetooth (no speakers or headphone port), 8GB storage (no microSD), etc.
The 7-inch diagonal screen gives you a lot more reading space than the previous generation 6-inch Oasis. Look at the picture at the bottom of this customer review.
I need to stop using the word “essential” because it messes up the blog search results for the Essential phone 🙂 Which brings us to the Essential Phone + 360 Degree Camera going for $500 with free shipping, in either the black or white color schemes. Limit three per color per customer.
This is an old fashioned sale, not a lightning deal. This combo went for $400 during Cyber Monday.
People have already began tuning out because of Christmas travel and preparations and festivities, which has a side-effect of some of the latest refurbished Canon DSLR sales not selling out as fast as they usually do!
Which brings us to a latest generation model! The manufacturer refurbished Canon 6D II with 24-120mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM goes for $1299 with free shipping and a 1-year Canon USA warranty!
It is in-stock as of the time of writing!
In new condition, this kit goes for $2450 at authorized Canon USA dealers which include the Canon BG-E21 battery grip for FREE. But the battery grip goes for $209 on its own, so you can buy it on your own and still pay a lot less!
If you prefer new condition and also need the battery grip and the Pixma PRO 100 printer, they have this bundle for $2150 after $350 MIR at Adorama and $2250 after MIR at B&H Photo.
NOTE that there are two official new condition 6D II with 24-105 kits. One is this one, with the 24-105mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM lens and the other is the more expensive with the 24-105mm f4L IS lens.
Another good option for a Canon APS-C DSLR “take pictures with” kit is available among the latest refurbished Canon DSLR sale. It is the manufacturer refurbished Canon D-Rebel T6i with 18-135mm and 75-300 III lenses going for $500 with free shipping and with a 1-year Canon USA warranty.
The 18-135mm lens is key here, as this is not a cheap lens to buy on its own. One could potentially get this kit, keep the 18-135mm lens, and gift/sell/trade the T6i with 75-300mm together or individually.
It is in-stock as of the time of writing!
Don’t walk, run to the Canon refurbished store if you are interested in getting a serious APS-C Canon DSLR “Take pictures with” kit. IT is the manufacturer refurbished Canon 80D with 18-55 and 55-250 going for $650 with free shipping and a 1-year CAnon USA warranty. It is IN-STOCK as of the time of writing!!!
Their website says the free 1-day (Express) shipping promotion expires at 12:30pm but it doesn’t say whether this is Eastern time or local time. I’m assuming they mean eastern time, so this promotion may have expired. Regardless, their shopping cart is the ultimate decider on what’s available…
Canon is running some more holiday promotions on various refurbished DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. Since these can sell out quickly, I’m posting them now instead of waiting until I can find time to go through them, because some of the good deals can (and do) sell out before I can find time to “digest” them:
+ manufacturer 60 refurbished DSLRs and M Mirrorless cameras
+ some unconventional/uncommon kits among these new condition cameras
This daily deal expired…
As of a 8:29pm ET recheck, these sold out too, with a total of nine units available getting stocked… For future updates, check the Stock Status Tracker…
SOLD OUT: we have good news for you Nikon D850 hunters. There are four new condition units available (as 7:04pm ET recheck) for $3300 with free shipping by Kenmore Camera from the state of Washington. They are authorized dealers!
Meanwhile, as of this recheck, the Sony a7r III ~ which was in-stock earlier in the day ~ is now out of stock and back-ordered again. Check the Stock Status Tracker for the big picture…
This sold out again…
The current iteration of the Canon PIXMA mail-in rebates expire 12/31/17. If you want to jump into this iteration before the end of the year, B&H Photo currently has 39 Canon DSLR PIXMA PRO 100 Mail-In Rebate bundles available featuring almost every Canon DSLR available.
NOTE that they get free standard shipping, not free next day delivery ~ if you were looking to buy these as gifts.
Speaking of next day delivery, the clock is ticking, the FREE Next Day shipping cut off point a B&H Photo and Adorama is around Thursday 4pm eastern. Amazon’s schedule varies depending on camera/product but also the physical location of the product in question, and the physical location of the buyer (or the delivery address if sending to others as gifts).

A good place to look for ideas are the eBay Deals along with the Trending Deals (shows only 100 trending deals, less overwhelming to look at than their main deals page). There’s also a dedicated search box there that searches only the Deals, not everything else on eBay.
Another way to look for ideas is our eBay Category posts here…
CreativeLIVE’s latest sale is running until 12/21/17 PM, and the theme of this sale is that all classes are under $100. No coupon code needed, the price you see is the price you pay. This may be a good idea for classes that don’t typically get discounted.
