Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
BorrowLenses is having its Black Friday sale as well! Until 12/6/23, you automatically (no coupon needed) get 25% off on PURCHASES of Used Gear. You also get free US shipping.
PS: for the speed-readers out there, the coupon is for PURCHASES, not rentals 🙂
And now lettuce round-up a few more of the Black Friday 2023 offerings!
We start with Shutterfly offering 50% off on almost everything on their website. BUT that’s not all. If you are part of their emailing list, you may have received an email that contains a one-time use coupon code [that’s why it’s a long string] that gets you $10 off an order of $10+. Shipping is extra and cannot be couponized.
The Monoprice website wouldn’t miss the party either! They offer $15 off on orders of $50+ using the very imaginative coupon code BF15 🙂
Just like Best Buy survived against all odds, so did Barnes and Noble, and they too are having a Black Friday with various promotions, including 50% off on some of the biggest book releases. They also have bonus offers for Rewards members, and all kinds of other things!
Despite wasting spending millions of dollars on the Lakers, Staples managed to survive 😉 And they too have a Black Friday sale. For Friday only, coupon code 63244 gets you 50% back in Staples Rewards on ALL ink purchases.
At Staples B&M stores ONLY (not listed online), they are offering the Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 instant camera for $70. Which becomes a better deal if you have Staples Rewards and/or Gift Cards to use/spend.
Next up we head on over to the Wal*Mart Black Friday where we find all kinds of deals for all budgets including $50 Gourmia shiny kitchen gadgets (air fryer, espresso machine, etc).
In terms of BF Cameras, they have some of the usual MAP offerings that you find in all retailers. Their headliner is a Fujifilm INSTAX Mini 7+ Bundle (10-Pack film, Album, Camera Case, Stickers) in three pastel color scheme options for $55. Camera IS included 🙂
And we close this round-up with the NameCheap offerings including domains (lesser known for $1/yr after coupon), web hosting deals from $10 to $30 (for the first year; future renewal at normal prices), and things like that.
Black Friday has also arrived at the chaotic Amazon Gold Box, a good test of your browser’s and computer’s crashing ability 😉
I already mentioned some of the offerings, let’s highlight a few for now, until we digest more of them later in the day:
+ Sandisk and Western Digital storage sale with SD, microSD, SSD, HDDs, flash sticks (including this 5pk of 128GB Ultra Fit USB 3.2 G1 Type A flash sticks for $60
+ 256GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I for $30
+ 256GB Extreme PRO CompactFlash UDMA7 for $135
+ Seagate and WD HDDs internal and external kind, along with LaCie
+ 20TB Seagate One Touch Hub for $330 (appears to include 4-months of Creative Cloud Photography Plan – I don’t know if it’s a free trial or appendable)
+ 21st century kitchen gadgets such as Air Fryers, Instant Pots, etc
+ 250+ Kindle ebooks because reading is fun-da-mental!
+ FREE to watch: first ever Black Friday NFL football game (NJ “GRRM” Jets vs Miami Dolphins) through the Prime Video apps and channels
+ all you need is an Amazon account, a Prime membership is not needed for this event
The KEH Camera website is keeping their Black Friday sale simple: use coupon BF10 or BF10A and get 10% off many things at their website until 11/27/23 at 11:59pm eastern time.
EXCLUDED from the offer are gift cards, “NEW” condition items, “Used – Like New”, “Used Like New Minus” and Protection Plans. And some product models. Their shopping cart is the ultimate decider on what qualifies. This is typical of KEH coupon offers.
BUT if you are looking for some ideas on what to buy, they have created a Top Picks page. Note that items from this page may run out (eg different conditions unavailable) as KEH is selling used products that have small inventory (compared to retailers selling new condition products that have theoretically infinite inventory).
Photography means a lot of travel, planned and unplanned. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have a way to learn a language as needed, depending on your travels?
For Black Friday ONLY (11/24/23) Rosetta Stone is offering a Lifetime Membership for $150. You pay once, and you have access to 25 languages for a lifetime! No renewals! The list of languages is shown over there when you click on the little question-mark on the yellow “Includes 25 languages” button.
PS: the list of 25 includes two Englishes (UK and USA) and two Spanishes (Spain and Latin America). Chinese is offered in Mandarin only and Portuguese in the Brazilian flava.
Black Friday is ON at Adorama as well, with the variety of offers featuring in their proprietary cinemascope stack of deals. Too many to list here individually, more on them later in the day.
Plus, they have their daily deals for Friday:
+ Adobe Creative Cloud 1-Year Subscription, Download for $330
+ Flashpoint XPLOR 600 R2 HSS TTL Battery-Powered All-In-One Outdoor Flash for $449
+ Sachtler FSB 8 MK II Fluid Head with 75/2 Aluminum Tripod and Mid-Level Spreader for $2150
+ ESET Internet Security 1-Year Software License, 1-Device, Download for $25
And now to Part II of our Black Friday round-up starting with Woot, running a Best Of WOOT sale featuring a random assortment of technology, kitchen, outdoors, clothes, etc. For Friday only, Prime members can get an extra 10% off (maximum discount $20 off) if they use the official Woot app.
If you are not sure what to get, fear not, you can have the wisdom of the crowds, the Woot Best Sellers list, headlined by a $50 Kindle Paperwhite e-reader (2018, new condition, 1-yr warranty, with Ads), a 5pk of Lightning (RIP) cables for $9, phone cases, Energizer batteries and the like.
If you have a problem special interest in mechanical keyboards and audiophile products and such, Massdrop too is having its Black Friday sale with new site-busters added daily.
Against all odds, Best Buy managed to outlive most of the other electronics chain stores [the irony – in the golden age of technology, most of the electronics stores died], and they are having their Black Friday sale, with extra offers for members of their Rewards program. Somewhere in there you’ll also find their 7-hour flash sale.
Ever the trolls, the MEH website [CORRECTED LINK!!!] is selling an actual troll (!!!) as its Black Friday deal 🙂
The DJI Osmo 3 action camera is offered for $279 at various retailers, but the official DJI Store at NewEgg is also bundling with it a $25 NewEgg promotional e-gift card. The promo GC will be emailed to you four days after invoice and it must needs get spent within 365 days after issue.
Black Fridays deals have arrived at B&H Photo! More on these later on!
NOTE that B&H has its usual Sabbath closing (4:30pm ET on Fri until 5:45pm ET on Saturday) so be sure to plan your purchases accordingly!

We have a breakout deal alert, one of the headliners of the NewEgg Black Friday sale is a 1-year Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan (1TB) for $90 after using promo code BFCY2Z793 over there. On the same listing you will find deals for other Creative Cloud offers as well.
Speaking of imaging software, the Dxo OnLine Shoppe is having its own Black Friday sale with up to 50% off on their own software and the NIK Collection (I mean, it’s theirs now, but they did not create it originally).
And now let’s round-up some of the online shop offerings, so I don’t fill up the blog with hundreds of tiny posts 🙂 This year I’ll be trying this approach, small round-ups every few hours.
The DiscountMAGs website is having its Black Friday sale with VideoMaker ($11~ per year, 6 issues) being the last remaining camera and photo magazine. But they have plenty of “six degrees of separation” (tech, fashion, weddings, sports, etc). Consumer Reports stands out at $14.90 for 1-year (13 issues).
The gift of e-learning with a coupon – code FRIDAY50 drops $50 off on the 1-year Creative LIVE subscription (Netflix style), making it $99 for 1-year of unlimited access to most of their courses! Note that offline access is only available on their iOS app.
Stacksocial is having their Black FRiday sale as well, and their headliner is a 1-year Costco Gold Star membership for $60. This includes a $40 digital Costco Shop card, making it a $20 assuming you’ll use the Costco Shop card. Detailed terms and conditions over there!
Speaking of Costco, their Black Friday deals consists of 951 options! Some offers are Members-Only, others are open to all shoppers. Details on each offer over there. They have two camera and photo options, a GOPRO 11 bundle for $280 and an Ascend Aeronautics drone (2 stars on 8 ratings) for $70.
I love the NewEgg website. The bigger the sale, the bigger the font they use. In this case, there is a color explosion with a giant “Black Friday” in the middle 🙂
Their Black Friday sale consists of 3040 products, which I will be listing one by one below 😉
Happy Black Friday Eve y’all!
We start the party with Pentax-Ricoh! The official Ricoh online store is having a black Friday sale until 11/27/23 (or earlier if sold out), you get an extra 10% off on refurbished and open-box products. This includes APS-C, full frame and 645 Pentax cameras along with Ricoh fixed lens cameras. There’s also Pentax lenses and (zooms and primes) and binoculars. Too many to list here individually.
Happy Thanksgiving, aka Black Friday Eve 🙂 As usual, please note that B&H starts their Black Friday offers on Thanksgiving evening, as they will be closed at sundown on Friday – as usual.
Speaking of which, B&H has already launched Black Friday pricing on Cameras & Lenses and they are also running their Holiday head start sale.

LOTS of things at the Amazon Black Friday including AMD Ryzen processors (5, 7, 9 options) and Intel processors and graphics card (i5, i7, i9).
You would think that camera doorbusters are a thing of the past in these days of MAP and smartphones and action-cams and drones but NO! Amazon comes to the rescue, they are offering, for a limited time, the new condition Panasonic G9 with 12-60/3.5-5.6 (DC-G9MK) for $650. This is a M43rds camera that was announced in December 2017.
This kit is not available at B&H and Adorama. They have the body only for $900 with a free battery grip.
Thanks to this offer it is currently the #1 in the top selling Mirrorless cameras.
PS: keep in mind, these days of chaotic listings, the Amazon Top Seller charts are only as good as the categorization of various products. So it’s not uncommon to see “uncanon” products in the charts.
PS2: regular readers of this blog may recall that many years ago we used to traverse the best seller charts (when the categorization was more organized – mayhaps human-controlled vs AI?) and create weekly “Top Seller” posts. Those were the days 🙂
LOTS of new action at the Amazon Black Friday, including, among other things:
+ two pages of unlocked Samsung Galaxy smartphones
+ two pages of ACER computeralia including laptops, monitors, BAGS (including a $20 15.6″ Travel Backpack), desktops, and PC accessories
