To sale-a-brate the Depth of Field Conference, B&H Photo, as it is customary, is also running in parallel Trade Show Special Offers. Some offers may need coupon code BHDOF23 for the offer to activate.

Sale-a-brating the 2023 Imaging USA trade show and conference is Adorama as well with their own Trade Show specials. The offers run until 1/29/23 when the trade show ends. They include products from various product categories, too many to list here individually…

Adorama is currently running a Year-End Clearance Sale with over 5000 items participating. The Photography category alone has over 2000 items.

Needless to say, these are too many to list here individually, but you can use the various filters at the Adorama sales pages to filter by various options (brand, type, price range, etc, etc, etc)…

It’s time for an All Star Game! No, not the basketball kind, but the daily deals kind! B&H Photo has brought back their MEGA DEAL ZONE, where many of the previously featured daily deals are LIVE, all TOGETHER, at the SAME TIME! As of the time of writing there are 1569 options! Over time, the number may decrease if some of the offers sell-out/run-out.

You can filter them using the left-hand side categories over there, for example there are 713 options under the Photography category and 156 under the Lighting category.

These run in 24 hour increments. I do not know how many days these will last. Some of the offers expire 12/29/22 which may be a clue. Best case scenario, B&H has their usual Friday Sabbath closing, so they could end on Friday. This is speculation on my part, I do not have inside knowledge.

Check them all at the MEGA DEAL ZONE page. After this promotion expires, they will return to their usual daily deals (which currently redirect to the MEGA DEAL ZONE)…

Yes, Cyber Monday is officially here, although, it’s really just one giant Friday to Monday Black Cyber weekend! Let’s take a look at some of the retailers participating:

+ B&H Photo Cyber Monday with all kinds of offers, scroll-down in an ever-scroll format or filter by categories and brands

+ Adorama Cyber Monday in a cool blue website color-scheme, broken down by various categories and such

+ Amazon Cyber Monday, it’s like the regular Gold Box but Cyber-Monday’ed. Use the usual filters on the left-hand side to narrow things down to product categories of interest, eg Camera and Photo
+ PRO-TIP: when you are in the Cyber Monday Gold Box, the Amazon search box up at the top of their page is pre-filtered to search for the Cyber Monday deals specifically (you can adjust it as you please though to search sitewide, or within specific product categories)

+ NewEGG Cyber Monday – back in our time kids, the NewEgg website would always crash at the Black Friday reveals. Nowadays, both the web servers and the customers have grown up 😉

+ 1-Year prepaid Netflix-style CreativeLIVE subscription for $99 after coupon code CYBERSAVE
+ or $20 off class orders of $40+ with coupon CYBER20

+ sales and coupons at 6 Dollar Shirts, I bought many times from them before, and they have stood the test of time, considering/despite the $6+ price 🙂

+ Woot sale-a-brates with a “best of woot” sale and cyber week deals

+ Best Buy sale-a-brates with a “Cyber Monday is Here” theme 🙂

Black Friday is here and in the pacific time zone, and pretty soon in Hawai’iii too, so more websites are officially and formally “dressing up” their websites in Black Friday gear!

More specifically, the NewEgg website is now a Black Friday crash test for your browser and phone and tablet and laptop. Yes, it’s that bad 🙂 Save any open files before going there 🙂

Amazon too has updated their Black Friday page, which looks pretty much like a special edition of their usual Gold Box 🙂 Another browser crashing test! Speaking of which, there’s another drop of 230+ Kindle ebooks on offer. Because reading is FUN-da-MENTAL!

Already in Black Friday mode are the websites of B&H Photo and Adorama and
Monoprice and KEH Camera and many and more…

On a blog-related note, I have temporarily increased the number of posts that show on the home page from 30 to 50, so you can see all the recently-posted deals on a single page, so you don’t have to navigate 2nd and 3rd pages. It may slow down access a bit but probably not ~ unless for some strange reason this blog goes viral with the web or the forums or the search engines (unlikely LOL).

And one last thing, which I should have mentioned at the start of Black Friday week (yes, I’ve become very rusty), we have a FREE Full-Text RSS Feed with Feedburner if you want to keep up with the offers using your favorite RSS readers and such. If we had Patreon, this would have been a great Patreon reward tier, but back in our time, we didn’t have such things on the internets, we just had text-based browsers and dial-up 🙂

Amazon too has pushed out their Black Friday offers using their usual Gold Box format. The sale includes 270+ Kindle eBooks including the 4th book in Brandon Sanderson’s The Stormlight Archive. He writes book at a crazy 20fps speed 😉

Speaking of Amazon, which is usually reserved in allowing outside payment options, they are now accepting Venmo, part of the PayPal family!

Adorama has added more offers to their Black Friday is ON sale. Too many to list here individually, but you can use the various categories and sub-categories and such to filter them through by your area(s) of interest…

The party has began! B&H Photo has launched Black Friday pricing on various cameras and lenses from most of the major manufacturers including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, Pentax, Olympus, Panasonica, Zeiss Zeiss Baby, Shiguma, Tammy “Tamron” Wynette, Voigtlander, Rokinon, etc… No Leica however 🙂

Too many to list here individually, more on these later on as I start digesting things and getting into Black Friday mode 🙂

PS: as with all previous years, B&H goes early/earlier with their Black Friday, because every week they are closed on the Sabbath, which is Friday PM to Saturday PM. So plan your purchases accordingly!

Day #2 of the B&H Optic West (Monterey, California) free event begins on Monday 11/7/22 at 1pm eastern time! This consists of the Main stage and the Explorer stage. You can find them all at the trade show’s YouTube Playlist. Or for your convenience you can find the YouTube-embed of the Main Stage at the bottom of this post.

To sale-a-brate the event, there are OPTIC Show Special Offers in-progress as well. Some of them require coupon code OPTICW22.

The B&H Photo OPTIC West Conference is live in progress. IT is a two-day event. Day #1 has already taken place!

We join this in progress, Adorama is currently running a 48 Hour Flash Sale featuring products from all the major product categories they carry including photography, computers, gaming, lighting and studio gear, drones and binos, A/V and music, and such. Too many items to list here individually…

UPDATE: things are fairly quiet camera/photo-wise at this current iteration of the Adorama daily deals (until Thursday at 10am ET) so I’m appending them to this post instead of creating a brand new one:

+ Logitech G G PRO X Gaming Headset with Microphone for $90

+ IK Multimedia iRig Stream Solo Ultracompact 3×1 TRRS Audio Interface for Smartphones and Tablets for $30

+ DPVR E3 4K Gaming Combo with E3 4K VR Gaming Headset and NOLO Controller for $399

Adorama is currently running what they call their Biggest Clearance Sale of the year. As of the time of writing the sale features 4326 options! They are slightly too many to list here individually, so check for your brands and products and product types and systems of interest!

Adorama has launched their pre-Labor-Day Labor Day sale with a total of 1546 options available as part of this sale. The items you see are sorted by “Popular Results”, but you can filter them by many different ways using the options and filters at the aforelinked page…

Adorama is sale-a-brating National Camera Day with 416 offerings as of the time of writing. There are various camera kits in this bundle, including mirrorless, DSLR, fixed lens, a few medium format and a couple of instant cameras too.

Obviously too many to list here individually but you can use the filters over there by manufacturer and such…

To sale-a-brate the OPTIC 2022 trade-show, B&H Photo is also running in parallel OPTIC 2022 special offers with the usual assortment of camera and photo and electronics and such.

Too many to list here individually, but if time permits, I may highlight some of them offers later on…

Adorama is having another variant of their Clearance Sale with 2446 products participating as of the time of writing.

Prices start at $0.25 (one item) and then move on to $0.49 where there is a handful of lens-caps, body-caps, screen-protectors and such. You can see these when you sort by lowest price…
