Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
One of the many Amazon Gold Box daily deals for Thursday is a Lexar and Crucial sale that includes these two Lexar card readers, with a limit of three of each per customer, with the usual shipping terms, and an expiration date by 3am ET on Friday:
+ Lexar Multi-Card 25-In-1 USB 3.0 Reader (LRW025URBNA) for $15
+ Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual-Slot Reader (LRW400CRBNA) for $19
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].
Some of today’s smaller cameras take microSD, in addition to smartphones and other other-camera products (action cameras, etc), which brings us to the black/red 200GB SanDisk Ultra MicroSDXC (SDSDQUAN-200G-G4A), one of the “rebels” to break out of the Powers-of-2 storage option scheme, on sale for $50 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon herself with a limit of ten per customer.
One of the Gold Box Deals du jour for Thursday is a sale on Pelican cases, seven models are featured, with prices ranging from $27 to $140. Limit three per model per customer.
This offer expired…
The Trending eBay Deals have their doorbusters too, the official GoPro eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished GoPro HERO3+ Silver Edition with a 1-year manufacturer warranty, sealed in factory packaging, for $117 with free shipping with a limit of two units per eBay buyer.
PS: I have now separated action cameras, drones, 360 cameras and such from the Fixed Lens Cameras category which is now only including conventional P&S digital cameras. The rest of them (GoPros, DJIs, 360-cameras, etc) go under the all-encompassing Other Cameras category.
Happy Thanksgiving to one and all! The Black Friday madness has began and/or continues…
The Pinnacle Studio 19 software is down to $9.62 as a digital download (PC) or $9.67 as a software box (PC) (limit 3) at Amazon by Amazon itself. Free S&H for Prime or with a $49+ order. The PC download is free delivery for all. Note that oF the 12 customer reviews, five of them are 1-star complaining of issues.
As of a 9:37pm ET recheck, this sold out: The eBay Deals have their own Black Friday sales, in a herding cats type of a fashion, and among them, there’s a 4TB external hard drive for $90! The BuyDig eBay store is offering the new condition 4TB Seagate Expansion USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive, model STEB4000100, for $90 with free shipping, with a limit of five per buyer. Nearly 500 units have been sold in the last 24 hours per the statistics-in-red-ink over there.
Speaking of storage, the fish-stick or fries equivalent in storage these days are the USB flash drives, so if you want some more fries, the Thursday Lexar and Crucial storage has the following:
+ 256GB Lexar JumpDrive S75 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (model LJDS75-256ABNL, White) for $36.75
+ 128GB Lexar JumpDrive S75 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (model LJDS75-128ABNL) for $19
+ 128GB Lexar JumpDrive P20 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (model LJDP20-128CRBNA) for $37.49
+ limit three of each; ends by Fri 3am ET
This deal zoomed out of existence but I believe this is a recurring lightning deal, so it will likely come back in the future…
And now to something fun in single figures, the 12oz Mango Spot Lens Cup is on sale for $8 in either the black or white color schemes by the maker with the order fulfilled by Amazon. This is a Lightning Deal ending by 2:45am ET on Friday or earlier if sold out. As of 11:41pm ET, the white is 67% claimed and the white with the transparent lid is 44% claimed. I believe you can buy one of each style.
This flash sale expired… This is a flash sale that ends by 6am ET on Friday, the BlackRapid RS-Sport Extreme Sport Strap is going for $40 with free shipping at B&H Photo in the black color scheme.
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:
These lighting deals expired… For future ones in the future, check the Amazon Gold Box and Camera & Photo page…
This round of Woot-OFFs expired on Saturday at 1am ET… I don’t know if they plan another one for Cyber Monday, or as I like to call it, Cider Monday 🙂
Like a virus, the Woot-OFF has moved to almost all the sub-Woots including Electronics Woot and Computers, the most likely ones to feature camera and photo related items. The main Woot is back to normal though. As usual these run in 24 hour multiples, so it will continue at least until 1am ET on Saturday. As usual, YMMV on what they’ll offer and how good the prices will be.
The Adorama Black Friday Specials are now live, featuring specials from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Panasonic, and Fuji. A total of 28 products are participating. You can click on the manufacturer names over there if you want to jump directly to their sections, or page down until you reach them.
A Black Friday shopping circus is not complete without a Woot-OFF, so of course it’s here, it started at a 1am ET on Thursday, Woot-OFF at the main Woot… The sub-Woots are not participating. These typically last in multiple of 24 hours. As usual, I have no clue what’s coming up, so it is a YMMV DIY adventure if interested…
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)…
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…
The Sony a6300 mirrorless body only camera is bundled with a $100 B&H e-gift card, together for $1000 with free shipping at B&H Photo… Or if you prefer the a6300 w/16-50 kit, in addition to the $100 gift card, you also receive a Rode VideoMIC Go on-camera mic, all together for $1150 with free shipping…
Camera bags too join the festivities, with the Ape Case ACPRO4000 on sale for $110 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo as one of their latest wave of BF specials.
B&H Photo is also running an Olympus Instant Savings promotion featuring a variety of E-M cameras and Micro Four Thirds lenses. This is an ever-scrolling page, keep going on the “Load More” until you see them all. It includes the E-M5 II, E-M10 II, E-PL7, Pen-F, primes and zoom lenses, and more.
The Fuji X-E2S body only (the “S” is part of the model name, a newer model than the X-E2) is on sale in either the silver or black color schemes for $499 with free shipping at B&H Photo, while the X-E2S w/18-55 goes for $799 with free shipping… They are also part of their latest Black Friday Specials…
PS: the X-E2S body only was going for $700 when we did the Mirrorless Price Charts in early November 2016.
B&H Photo has also launched their Black Friday Apple sale featuring a variety of Macs, iMacs, MacBooks and iPads. That is an ever-scrolling page, keep pressing the orange “Load More” button to see more… This too is part of their Black Friday Specials…
The Canon Speedlite 600EX II-RT is now on sale for $479 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo until 11/26/16 at 11:59pm ET… This is part of their latest Black Friday Specials…
A doorbuster-y Canon printer, the new condition Canon PIXMA MG3620 Wireless All-in-One Inkjet Printer is on sale for $28 with free shipping at B&H Photo… This is part of their latest Black Friday Specials…
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…
Off to the Trending eBay Deals where authorized DJI dealer “DroneSuperstore” (100%, New York) is offering the new condition DJI Phantom 3 Standard edition with a $45 eBay Gift Card for $399 with free shipping, with a limit of five per customer… The lowest Black Friday Ad is $370 but without a gift card, so if you are a frequent eBay shopper, the $45 gift card can win you over…

In a rare Amazon Gold Box teaser that shows the actual sale price before it goes live, it reveals that starting at 3am ET on Thursday, the 128GB Samsung 80MB/s EVO Select Micro SDXC Memory Card (model MB-ME128DA/AM) will be on sale for $24.88 instead of its current price of $40. Free shipping for Prime members or with a $49+ order. I do not know how long it will last after it goes live. Timezone in the teaser below is pacific time:

The GoPRO Hero5 Session (the smaller one) is now going for $300 with free shipping or store pickup (where available) at Target online with a $45 gift card (does not specify, assuming it’s a $45 Target gift card), and at Amazon by Amazon itself with a $45 plastic Amazon Gift Card for the same price…
Speaking of GoPros, the internets are getting close to the GoPro Hero5 offer. Target will have it for $400 with a $60 gift card, but B&H Photo is getting close to that with a $50 gift card.
For more action, check the Black Friday Ads Digest as more online price-checks get added…
I am now continuing with the price-checking of the glossy-ad Black Friday Ads, and one more “glossy ad” has been “defeated” by the internets. The Nikon Coolpix B500 superzoom (40x optical, four AA) is advertised for $260 in the BF ads, but Adorama is not only offering it for just under $260, it is also bundled with lots of free accessories: Corel software bundle, Bag, SD, AA charger/batteries, etc. The same price but without those freebies is available at B&H Photo and Amazon itself
This offer among the latest eBay Deals has batteries included – that’s because the offer itself is batteries 🙂 Lame joke aside, the official Best Buy eBay store is offering their house brand 48pk Insignia AA single-use batteries for $10 with free shipping or free store pickup (where available/possible). Limit up to 30 per customer… The same offer is available for the AAA 48-pack with the same limit of up to 30 packs per customer.
