I’m occasionally torn about these posts, but then I see that folks are using the posts and their links to order at these seasonally-reduced prices… so I hope that some of you will find the information useful.

Some new holiday deals from site-sponsor B&H follow. You may have to add some of them to your cart to see the lower pricing:

Note that some of these expire very soon – as soon as tomorrow.

Canon 6D is Arriving – With Price Reductions

Leave a comment

Shortly after releasing the Canon EOS 5D Mark III (and the Canon EOS-1DX and assorted other goodies), Canon announced a forthcoming less-expensive full-frame DSLR, the EOS 6D, a 20+ MP with a range of attractive features and a price barely above $2000. Right now site-sponsor B&H is offering a $200 “instant savings” on the Canon EOS 6D Digital Camera with Canon 24-105mm f/4.0L IS Lens bundle that lowers the cost of the lens and camera to only $2,699. The product is also eligible for the B&H “2% reward” – read more about that at the link.

Where does the 6D fit into the Canon eco-system? I think that for many people looking for a first full-frame body, and for many whose primary consideration is purely image quality, the 6D is going to hit the sweet spot. A 20 MP full frame image, assuming you shoot with skill and understand how to post-process, can produce an outstanding print in sizes much larger than the typical user will ever produce. There is every reason to think that the image quality produced by this camera will be essentially indistinguishable from that produced by the fine Canon EOS 5D Mark III. I have not used the camera, but from many reports I have read from those who have had their hands on a copy, it sounds like it will be a fine performer.

B&H Cyber Monday Deals… Plus Ilford Paper Rebate

Leave a comment

B&H Cyber Monday – As I mentioned a couple of days ago, site-sponsor B&H Photo’s Black Friday through Cyber Monday deals are on through today. There are discounts on many products of all types, and additional special pricing on some Best Cyber Monday Deals.

Updates: B&H promises to send updates during the day today, and I’ll add some of them below as they arrive:

(You may need to actually add some items to your “cart” to see the lower prices.)
Ilford Galerie printer paper 25% mail-in rebate – For those who do their own printing – like me! – there is a very good 25% mail-in rebate on all Ilford Galerie papers. (Rebate form and details here.) This is not strictly a B&H deal since the rebate comes from Ilford, but B&H does offer Ilford GFS papers, too, in both in rolls and cut sheets.  Ilford Galerie Prestige Gold Fibre Silk is my favorite paper. I’m probably going to take this opportunity to stock up.
