Black Friday Updates

I may continue to post a few more Black Friday updates today. This one might interest some of my readers:

Craft & Vision is offering 50% off their whole photography eBook collection, including Michael Frye’s eBook Light & Land: Landscapes in the Digital Darkroom. Or you can get a $40 gift certificate for $20. All these discounts are today only. Michael also now also has iPhone and iPad versions of his Photographer’s Guide to Yosemite app.

And, this one at B&H:

The Canon G12 camera has been reduced to $379.00. We own one of these as our “stick in the pocket and take anywhere” camera, but it also produces really fine image quality and can even shoot in raw mode.

‘Black Friday” Canon “double instant rebate” deals at B&H

(Update 11/25/11: Please take a look at the “deals” page on this web site for updates. B&H is sending me emails about other deals – including Adobe Lightroom for only $89.95 and a “$200 off” price on the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens.)

Right on the heels of the previous “instant savings” promotion and as part of the seasonal Black Friday sales, site sponsor B&H has announced Canon Double Rebates on the EOS 60DEOS 7D, and EOS 5D Mark II cameras and a wide range of lenses and electronic flashes when purchased as a package. Lenses include many L primes and zooms, speciality lenses such as macro and tilt/shift models, most of the better EFS lenses, and a few excellent non-L lenses. It looks like essentially all of the major Speedlite models are included. This extended Black Friday deal only lasts a short time – prices expire on Sunday, November 27 at 3:00 a.m. EST.

If you are considering a body and lens, these are some of the best prices you are likely to see. Some of the discounts are significant enough that you might even want to get that body/lens that you were just thinking about… To see the details of this promotion at B&H, follow this link.
