If I’ve to be sincere, the Black Friday digital camera offers have been a bit disappointing this yr. I’ve been reporting on the vacation gross sales for years, and reporting on digital camera pricing for many years – and I simply do not assume the Cyber gross sales ship the actually good bargains of yesteryear.
Sure, there are some good reductions on some older fashions I might extremely suggest – equivalent to on the Canon EOS R5 for $2,799, however that is not a mannequin that can swimsuit everybody’s finances, and the worth discount is well defined by the launch of the Canon EOS R5 Mark II.
And then there are the saving we’re at all times each Black Friday – equivalent to nice reminiscence card offers, or discount safety digital camera offers. If you will purchase a brand new SDXC card, or a Blink digital camera, that is positively the time do it.
But what I nonetheless look out for is an excellent deal that I did not anticipate – and that nobody on earth may dispute was a very mega low cost. And this yr, my prayers have been answered!
The Canon EOS R100 was at all times an excellent worth digital camera. Until its arrival, mirrorless cameras had began to change into an costly step-up from the DSLRs or 35mm SLRs from the previous – and I feared that an inexpensive entry mannequin into interchangeable lens interest pictures had gone.
The R100 delivered a mirrorless model of the legendar yCanon EOS Digital Rebel – the digital camera that began the favored DSLR revolution – with the R100 and equipment lens promoting for beneath $500.
But this Black Friday, Canon and its retailers has provided us a genuinely good low cost – providing us the R100 with 18-55mm zoom for simply $349! It is a value so good, that I’m already seeing some retailers (equivalent to Adorama) already operating out of inventory.
If you need one at present, I’ve seen that Walmart is promoting the bundle for $349 (and promoting itself, slightly from some third-party accomplice, so you might decide up in retailer). B&H additionally has inventory, though is presently shut for the Sabbath – however it could be value ready if you wish to improve the nearly-as-brilliant two-lens R100 deal.
