Amazon has a bevy of DSLR and photo deals today coming through its Lightning Deals page.  It starts at 3:15AM ET and keeps rolling throughout the day.  I count at least 3 Canon DSLR deals that should go within minutes of the announcement time if earlier deals were anything to measure by.

The complete rundown is below.  You’ll need to watch the countdown here in order to get in on the deals.

  1. Canon DSLR at 3:15 AM ET
  2. Canon DSLR at 5:15 AM ET
  3. Sony HX5V at 7:15 AM ET

Canon Rebel Kits at Amazon as Good as Most Black Friday “Doorbusters”

By

Canon Rebel T3

As I have been perusing through the Black Friday ads this week, the one thing I’ve noticed is how underwhelming most of the DSLR “doorbuster” deals have been.  And how Amazon’s ordinary prices are inline with these Black Friday deals.

For instance, almost every major brick & mortar retailer is selling the Canon Rebel T3 at $479 as some kind of huge deal.  It was $478 on Amazon earlier this week and is $468 at the time of this post.

Amazon is offering a free basic backpack and an 8GB memory card with several Canon Rebel kits (e.g., T3, T2i, T3i), most of which are already cheaper than what’s you’ll find if you happen to make it into a store at 4AM and find them in stock.  Throw in the Transcend 8GB card and basic camera backpack, and you’ve got all the more reason to stay inside on Black Friday.
