An update fo the Stock Status Tracker has a $120 price drop on the imported grey market new condition Nikon D850 body only from $3400 to $3280 with free shipping by eBay seller Deals All Year. The new condition price at authorized Nikon USA dealers is $3300.
Another update of the Stock Status Tracker shows the Sony a7r III body only in-stock for $3200 by Kenmore Camera on eBAY as of 12/25/17 at 6:30pm ET…
Adorama sold out as of this recheck… Original post after the break…
The Pentax K-1 body goes for $1900 with a FREE Pentax D-BG6 Battery Grip at B&H Photo and Adorama.
It also goes for $1900 at Amazon by Amazon itself but Amazon does not include the free Battery Grip. HOWEVER, if you are a Prime member, and you pay for this purchase sold and shipped by Amazon, paid with either Prime credit card, you will receive $380 back as a statement credit! I don’t want to repeat the details of this promotion in every post, read the introductory post here.
The battery grip costs $220 on its own, so the statement credit offer handily defeats the free battery grip.
Here’s how the Amazon product page looks when this promotion is alive and kicking:
This is a limited time offer! You can find details and all the eligible products through the Prime 20% Statement Credit offer page.
As of a 12/5/17 at 8:33pm ET, the estimate has moved from December 7 to December 18. This is likely because more pre-orders came in to eat up the upcoming inventory or something changed infrastructure-wise (eg delays at the ports and such).
For the big picture, check the Stock Status Tracker…
The Sony a7r III body only now has a December 7 estimate (as of the time of writing) at B&H Photo. Keep in mind, estimates can change over time…
More offers are coming in at the official Canon USA store, this time on the 35mm full frame front, it is the manufacturer-refurbished Canon 6D body only offered for $900 with free shipping and a 1-year Canon USA warranty and a free 5DS-shaped mini USB flash drive. This is a limited time sale thanks to a trio of instant savings promotions.
This an alternative option to two new condition Canon 6D offers that are currently running:
+ with your choice of Useful Freebies for $1199 (no rebates, no coupons)
+ with Pixma PRO 100 printer for $1199 after $350 MIR
Our earlier Canon 6D Freebies round-up was a mail-in rebate safe space. But if you don’t object to the mail-in rebates, and instead of a choice of various freebie options there (4TB HDD, LR6, 1-YR Pho Cloud, etc), you instead want the Pixma PRO 100 printer and don’t object to the mail-in rebate (MIR) and gift card song and dance…
… then for the same price of $1199 after $350 MIR (prepaid AMEX gift card), at Adorama, you can get the Canon 6D Body with Pixma PRO 100 + 50pk SG-201. No other freebies are included with this, so you are trading off the Pixma PRO 100 and rebate inconvenience VS a choice of LR6/Cloud/4TB/etc freebie…
If you like the Pixma rebate idea but want the 6D II or 5D Mk IV instead, check our earlier Mail-In Rebate Offers posts for those offers…
The last couple of days we posted some of the biggest Canon DSLR + PIXMA bundles. But what if you hate mail-in rebates but still want a Canon 35mm full frame DSLR, and you’ve done the trade-offs and you prefer the 6D over the 6D II?
At B&H Photo, you have these options for $1199
+ with FREE 1-Year Creative Cloud Photographer Plan
+ with FREE Storage Bundle: 4TB WD My Passport HDD and 64GB Sandisk Extreme PRO SDXC card, both solid options for your photos!
+ with “Default” Freebies on the root listing: 4% promotional rewards ($48~ in future purchases) and 32GB Sandisk Extreme SD, Ruggard bag, and extra Powa 3rd-party battery
At Adorama, you have these options for $1199
+ with FREE LIGHTROOM 6 – this is the old fashioned software, not the high profit margin cloud subscription
+ with “Default” Freebies on the root listing: 4% promotional rewards ($48~ in future purchases) and extra Canon LP-E6 N battery (not 3rd-party)
+ with Corel and Accessorapalooza: free Corel software bundle (five titles), 32GB Sandisk Extreme PRO, Canon shoulder bag, Flashpoint remote, release cable, card case and cleaning kit
+ remember, you can use these accessories if you are creating camera gifts for friends and family ~ if you don’t need/want them for yourself
The same offers are also available for the other official Canon kit, with the 24-105 f4L which goes for $1799 (a +$600 on the body only).
This is another “deal survivor”: offers that went live during Black Friday and Cyber Monday and still continue! The expiration date for this incarnation is Saturday 12/2/17 at 11:59pm ET, but keep in mind, B&H Photo does not accept orders between Friday PM and Saturday PM, so plan accordingly!
It is in-stock and ready to ship as of the time of writing! If you are not afraid of mail-in rebates and prepaid gift cards, B&H Photo has a Canon 5D Mark IV body only bundle for $2849 after a $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX GC). For that you get the Canon 5D Mark IV body only, the Canon BG-E20 battery grip, the Pixma PRO 100 printer and its 50pk SG-201 paper sidekick, a 64GB Sandisk Extreme SDXC and an extra Canon LP-E6N battery.
The same offer is also available on two other official 5D Mark IV kits, in the same bundle of Printer and freebies and rebates as above:
+ 5D IV with EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM Lens for $3599 after MIR
+ this is $750 more than the body only
+ 5D IV with EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM Lens for $3749 after MIR
+ this is $900 more than the body
These three bundles have the same price deltas in-between them as do the the three standard kits of $3199 (body) and $3949 (+$750) w/24-70 and $4099 (+$900) with 24-105.
UPDATE: as of late Tuesday 11/28/17 re-check, this offer is still good!
Last Call for this offer, it ends on Monday at 11:59pm ET. It is back-ordered but you can place the order if you like the price/combo: If you are not afraid of mail-in rebates, B&H Photo has a 6D Mark II Body Bundle for $1349 after a $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX GC). You get the 6D Mark II body only, the Canon BG-E21 battery grip, the Pixma PRO 100 printer and its 50pk SG-201 paper sidekick, a 64GB Sandisk Extreme SDXC and an extra Canon LP-E6 battery.

A $200 discount is a pretty nice amount, except when the price of the camera is $5700. Still, $5500 is better than $5700, $200 can get you more memory cards or extra batteries or camera bags 🙂 The 1D X II is now going for $5500 with free accessories at Adorama and 2% promotional rewards (that’s a nice sum of $110 to spend in the future) at B&H Photo.
No freebies at Amazon but that 5% statement credit if you pay with a Prime VISA or Prime Store credit card is $275! Note that the Discover Q4 5% Cashback is limited to $1500 per credit card, so you’ll only get 5% back on the first $1500 of this price.
35mm Full frame for $800! A new low as far as I can recall for a new condition camera from an authorized USA dealer! It’s the good old Sony a7 body only, down to $798 with free shipping at Adorama (with free accessories) and at B&H Photo (two free accessories) and at Amazon itself.
Full frame parties 🙂 This went for $1000 a couple of weeks ago when I posted the 35mm Full Frame Camera Price Charts.
If you have decided on the 6D over the 6D II, or don’t want to deal with printer mail-in rebates and such, B&H Photo is also offering a Canon 6D body only (first generation) for $1199 with free expedited shipping, a drop of $100 since yesterday. You also get the following freebies: 4TB Western Digital MyPassport USB 3.0 External HDD and a 64GB Sandisk Extreme PRO memory card. No coupons, no rebates, just add to cart and proceed to checkout 🙂
The Canon 6D body went for $1400 when I posted the 35mm Full Frame Price charts a couple of weeks ago, while the Canon 5D Mark III went for $2300.
A drop of $200 since yesterday on the Canon 5D Mark III body only at B&H Photo, bundled with a 4TB Western Digital MyPassport USB 3.0 External HDD and a 64GB Sandisk Extreme PRO and a Lowepro Hatchback backpack, all together for $2099 with free expedited shipping. No coupons, no rebates, just add to cart and proceed to checkout 🙂
If you are not afraid of mail-in rebates and prepaid gift cards, B&H Photo has a Canon 5D Mark IV body only bundle for $2849 after a $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX GC). For that you get the Canon 5D Mark IV body only, the Canon BG-E20 battery grip, the Pixma PRO 100 printer and its 50pk SG-201 paper sidekick, a 64GB Sandisk Extreme SDXC and an extra Canon LP-E6N battery.
If you are not afraid of mail-in rebates, B&H Photo has a 6D Mark II Body Bundle for $1349 after a $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX GC). You get the 6D Mark II body only, the Canon BG-E21 battery grip, the Pixma PRO 100 printer and its 50pk SG-201 paper sidekick, a 64GB Sandisk Extreme SDXC and an extra Canon LP-E6 battery.

+ Canon BG-E20 Battery Grip
+ Canon Pixma PRO 100 printer
+ its trusty sidekick the 50pk of 13×19″ photo paper

This is a pretty good deal on its own, without even factoring in the mail-in rebate. The 5D IV body only went for $3300 on its own (without the printer and battery grip) a couple of weeks ago when I posted the Full Frame Price Charts.
The Sony a7r II was going for $2900 when I posted the Mirrorless Price Charts two weeks ago, but the combination of the impending release of the a7r III and the various Instant Savings offers have dropped its price down to $2400 and that’s not all, you also get free items with purchase!
At B&H Photo, you have a choice of serious freebies: either a 4TB WD MyPassport External HDD or a free 1-Year Photographer Creative Cloud subscription.
At Adorama you have a choice of freebies as well, either Lightroom 6 software or Tascam DR-10S Mic or the customary bundle of photo accessories.
Amazon is stingy on the freebies (none) but if you pay for it with a Prime VISA you will get 5% as a statement credit (that’s $120).
eBay has revealed their eight page Black Friday ad and it has about half a dozen digital cameras in it. The eBay ad however does not specify the seller of the camera, the warranty situation, or the condition of the product, so that’s a mystery until the deal goes live. Judging by the prices, it looks like most of them are probably going to be imported/grey-market. About half of them are 35mm full frame cameras.
We integrated eBay’s offers in the Black Friday 2017 Ads Digest. You can find all the eBay additions by using your browser’s search function looking for “eBay” (not case sensitive).
I will price-check and dig around on eBay to see if these are already live.
The Sony a7S II body only went for $2700 a couple of weeks when I posted the Mirrorless Price Charts. This week’s Instant Savings Madness dropped the price down to $2400 at authorized dealers with the option of various freebies:
+ At Adorama (keep paging down to see them all) you get either a free Lightroom 6 OR free Tascam Shotgun Mic OR the usual free accessories
+ At B&H Photo you can get a 4TB WD External HDD or a Rode Video Mic (the other free option on the listing)
+ At Amazon various 3rd-party sellers are offering their own bundles
Last night we mentioned some of the 6D II offers but there’s more. If you prefer the first generation Canon 6D body only, it dropped from $1400 when we did the 35mm FF Price Chart to $1300 now at authorized dealers, and there are couple of offers with useful freebies for $1300:
+ At B&H Photo you get a FREE 1-Year Adobe Photography Creative Cloud subscription
+ At Canon USA you get a FREE Canon Battery Grip BG-E21. This gets added automatically to our shopping cart while this promotion is running.
The Nikon D750 was going for $1800 when I posted the full Frame Price Charts a couple of weeks ago, but the Nikon Black Friday offers bring both a discount and a free battery grip to it! The D750 body only is now going for $1497 with freebies as follows:
+ At Adorama you get the Nikon MB-D16 Multi Power Battery Pack, and 32GB Lexar SD, 24/7 TC holster, Corel software, Power2000 extra battery, card reader and cleaning kit for $1497
