Canon SL1 with 18-55 IS STM and Pixma Pro 100 and Extras for $450 after $350 MIR

The Canon SL1 was one of Canon’s attempts to triangulate mirrorless to the DSLR level (I don’t even know what I mean with this sentence, but it sounds like insightful analysis), and that is also participating in the Canon-Pixma-MIR promotions. You get the black Canon SL1 with the 18-55 IS STM lens, the Pixma PRO 100 printer, 50pk 13×19″ Canon photo paper, 32GB Sandisk Ultra SDHC, and Shoulder Camera Bag for $450 after $350 mail-in rebate (in the form of a prepaid American Express Gift Card). You also earn 2% promotional rewards. This is at B&H Photo. Offer ends 2/27/16.

If you are not interested in mail-in rebate offers, but you are interested in the Canon SL1, B&H Photo has 13 more Canon SL1 bundles for both the black and white SL1 bodies. Bundles include the 75-300 lens or the 40/2.8 pancake.

Adobe KnowHow All-Inclusive Photography Bundle for $69 (14 streaming courses with lifetime access)

If you are interested in learning more about Adobe’s various software products, Stacksocial has a 14-course Adobe KnowHow All-Inclusive Photography Bundle offered for $69. These courses stream online and you have lifetime access to them. You must redeem the promotion within 30 days of purchase. The bundle has three Lightroom*.* courses (Mastery, certification exam prep, Crash Course), general photography classes, specific photography classes (flash, studio, wedding, B&W, night), and more. You can watch them in any way and order as you like. All sales are final. You can redeem them right away.

NOTE: “Lightroom*.*” is my shorthand for all Lightrooms, CC and stand-alone. Although if I have to write a whole paragraph to explain the shorthand, perhaps the shorthand is no so good 🙂

On the other hand, if you want to pay less or get fewer courses, the Pay What You Want Bundle gets you two courses if you pay $1+ (night, off-camera flash), or if you meet/beat the average price (currently $19.50), you get 11 total courses and assets (the previous two plus a cornucopia of photo-related courses). Assets as in downloadable graphics and other related digital files.

Speaking of “Pay What You Want”, they also have a Design Bundle bundle that gets you eight different font sets if you meet or beat the current average price of $10.08.

Speaking of Stacksocial, if you want to learn about Linux or refresh or beef up your /learnings, there is a Linux Power User Bundle offered for $19. It includes five different courses. Sorry, no dedicated “vi” course though 🙂
