Great Deal on Adobe Lightroom Plus Photoshop CS6 Bundle… and More

2 Comments

(Corrections – two expiration dates were inaccurate in the original version of this post and have now been corrected.)

Right now – and apparently only for today and perhaps tomorrow* – you can purchase Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop Lightroom 4 together for $389.90 from site sponsor B&H Photo. That is a tremendous price for  the current versions both programs, and if you have been holding off on getting them, this is probably something you want to take advantage of. The bundle includes a couple of free Scott Kelby training DVDs on the two programs. This pricing apparently ends on Friday, August 31, 2012.  (Update 8/31: A reader reports that the prices on the Adobe Photoshop bundles returned to the pre-sale levels today, August 31. I contacted B&H since they originally reported that it would be good through August 31. The reply: “This was our mistake [and] the Adobe promotion ended yesterday.” Hope some of you were able to take advantage of this deal while it lasted!)

A similar deal bundles Adobe Photoshop CS6 plus Adobe Elements 10 for $314.90, and includes the Kelby Training DVD: What’s New in Adobe Photoshop CS6. (This may also have the same expiration as the above deal.)

The current Canon ‘Instant Rebates’ on lenses and speedlites will expire on September 1 29, 2012 . See the Deals page August 23 entry for a complete list with links to eligible products. (Note that B&H is often closed on Saturday, so if you plan to purchase from them, the effective expiration is tomorrow, Friday, August 31!)

Instant Rebates on Canon Lenses and Speedlites – Up to $300

Leave a comment

Canon is offering an Instant Rebate on Canon Lenses and Speedlites of up to $300 through September 29 1, 2012. The promotion includes a large selection of lenses (zooms, primes, L, non-L, EFS, wide to telephoto, macro, tilt/shift), tele-extenders (1.4x and 2x), and electronic flashes including the most recent models. If you have been considering any of this gear, there is a good chance that you can save a bit on your purchase.

The following list includes links that you can use to purchase from site-sponsor B&H Photo. Your purchases through these links are appreciated as they help support this site – thanks! Expires soon – on September 29 1, 2012)

As always, I post offers like these on the Deals page, and not just for Canon. Similar deals are listed there on products from Adobe, Nikon, and more. Updated earlier today, and several expire very soon – including a very low price on Photoshop CS6 for Windows and additional discounts on Adobe Lightroom 4, Photoshop Elements 10, and a Photoshop Elements 10/Premier Elements 10 bundle.

Telephoto Zooms

Wide and Ultra-Wide Zooms
EFS Lenses (for cropped sensor only – includes ultra-wide, normal zoom, macro)
Macro Lenses
Tilt/Shift Lenses

Special Price on the Canon EFS 55-250 Telephoto Zoom at B&H

Leave a comment

I just heard from site-sponsor B&H Photo that there is currently a substantial price reduction on the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II Lens that amounts to about 40% off, if my estimate is correct. The lens normally sells for $255, but right now it is available for only $149. New owners of Canon cropped sensor DSLRs who want to expand their long lens shooting beyond what they can do with the EFS 18-55 IS kit lens, will find that this lens can extend their range considerably. If you have been thinking about this lens, this is a really great price!

A Bunch of Special Prices at B&H

Leave a comment

I’m posting a second “deals” update today since there are several at site-sponsor B&H right now that look pretty interesting. They include:

  • A 36-hour special price on the Canon EOS 7D DLSR (that is set to expire very soon) – the price is as low as what I’ve seen for used 7D bodies.
  • A Canon Double Instant Rebate promotion on bodies, lenses, and speedlites continues until July 28
  • Bundle pricing on Canon 7D, 60D, t3, t3i and t2i DSLRs with telephoto zooms, including three popular lenses.
  • A very good price on the excellent Epson Stylus Pro 3880 Inkjet Printer that handles 17″ media.
  • A bundle that includes the Nikon D7000 with a Nikon 18-200mm image stabilized lens, plus an option to get $200 off on a couple of other popular Nikon lenses

See the July 5 entry on my Deals page for more information and links.
