It's Cyber Millennia!

I don't know how many of these "Cyber Week deals" you might want to hear about, but this one is pretty amazing:

A Canon G16 camera, a Pixma 100 inkjet printer, and a pack of printing paper for $269.99. 

That's just short of them paying you to take it off their hands. The deal is good till the midnight on Saturday, but the supply is limited so it won't last that long.

Of course, it's possible that only 2 1/2 TOP readers will be interested, because everybody here has their cameras and printers already. (The third guy is only half interested.) But maybe for a spouse, S.O., child, or friend?

Next, you can get the very computer I paid $2,000 for for $1,299. I'd sell you mine, but I think $1,400 is the lowest I could take for it. Kidding.

A decent monolight for $216.80. Lawrence at B&H says, "This is a nice light. Build quality is good. Light quality is very nice." [UPDATE: Looks like this was wrong. The link is to a two-light kit, and the savings are $216.80. Sorry for the error, and thanks to several tipsters for setting me right. —Mike the Ed.]

Here's a Lensbaby Pro System kit for Canon or Nikon DSLRs for $150 off.

There's one more I want to tell you about, but give me a minute to go find it. I'll be right back.

Oh, here it is. A Manfrotto (the tripod people) Stile Collection Unica VII messenger bag, normally $100, for a twenty dollar bill...$19.99. Can't beat that with a stick. Well, maybe you can, but be careful not to hurt the camera inside the bag...(I shoulda been a comedian. Or maybe that's the wrong conclusion by 180 degrees.) This one ends in three hours (noon today, Thursday). [UPDATE: Not even 11 a.m., and it looks like these are gone already. —Mike]

I'm getting word that a big lens sale is starting at noon today. If that looks interesting I'll let you know.

I guess Canon figures it will make a lot of money on ink cartridges, but given how little people print these days, I just see a flood of Pixma Pro-100 printers at rock-bottom prices on Craigslist in the coming weeks.

On the monolight, the link shows a savings of $216,80, not that as the final price. Perhaps it changed since you posted it.

Not for publication: The wording of your link above indicates that the moonlight you linked to costs $216.80. It is actually a kit consisting of two monolights, two lightstands and a bag, for $498.95, after a discount of $216.80. Still a good deal, I was just confused when I originally clicked on the link and the price was different from what I expected. I tried to find the price of the individual monolights, but it seems that B&H may only sell them as part of this kit.

Best,
Adam

Obvious question but if I used the link in this post to buy an item do you get the same consideration as if I had gone to B&H through the portal on the edge of your page?

[Yep. Anything I link works that way. Well, if the link goes to B&H or Amazon, that is. --Mike]

One problem with Canon "rebates" is that they come in the form of American Express cards. Not as a check we can deposit in our bank.
Few businesses in our area take American Express due to their high fees. This makes the card almost unusable.
Canon needs to process these and send out actual checks. Epson does on its printers as do some other companies.
What would be better would be to lower the sale price the full amount and get rid of the help, paperwork and pain in the butt aspect of 'rebates' completely. That would encourage me to purchase before a rebate deal.

Thanks for the sales tips. I ordered one of the bags. Will beat it with a stick (empty)to give it a worn-in look :-)

I'm holding out for an 80% discount on a Billingham Hadley Pro.

Looks like I just got in under the wire on the Manfrotto bags. They show as back-ordered now. Thanks, Mike!
