Refurbished Nikon D600 for $1,599!
Would I buy refurbished? You bet! I only bought my D600 new because I had to — there were no refurbs available when it came out. Today, duh, I'd much rather pay $1,599 for a refurb than $2,000 for a new one.

Amazon's Gold Box Deals-of-the-Day
B&H's Previous-Model Apple Clearance
Canon Deals
Canon 6D (full-frame!): Reg Price $2,099.00, add to cart Price $1,789.00.
Canon 6D Review. The world's second-best DSLR overall at any price, and if size or weight or price matters, it's the world's very best DLSR. In fact, I haven't gotten to updating everything, but the Canon 6D has much better image quality than the LEICA M9 as far as color is concerned, and the 6D is so light I'd forget the LEICA today. Full-frame DSLRs have finally caught up after three years with the 6D.
Canon 7D (1.6x): Reg Price $1,599.00, add to cart Price $1,249.00.
Canon 7D review. Canon's best 1.6x format DSLR.
Canon 35mm f/1.4 L: Reg price $1,329, add to cart price $1,299!
Canon 35/1.4 L review. The Canon 35/1.4 L is the best 35mm f/1.4 SLR lens I've tested, and much less expensive than Nikon's plastic copy. It's been in Canon's catalog for a while, so it's a screaming deal on a superior lens.
Nikon D600 Deals
Adorama tells me all three of these below now also include a free Nikon ME-1 S-t-e-r-e-O microphone and free shipping:
Nikon D600 with Nikon 24-85mm VR: $1,996.95.
Nikon D600 with Nikon 24-85mm VR: $2,496.95.

Amazon's Gold Box Deals-of-the-Day
B&H's Previous-Model Apple Clearance
Olympus Deal: Adorama's got the Olympus E-P3 with 14-42mm on sale for $499.
It also includes free shipping, a case and an 8GB card. It used to be $899!
Nikon D800 Deals
Adorama's got the D800 and a boxload of extras on sale for just $2,796.95. It also includes free 2 day shipping and 4% rewards, whoo hoo!
Adorama also has a limited number of Nikon-refurbished Nikon D800s for sale for just $2,299.99 each — with free shipping! Pay $7.95 for Adorama's VIP club, and they'll throw in a full year's extra warranty as well.
Manhattan-only Apple deals
Valid only in Adorama's Manhattan store, here's a coupon for a $100 gift card when you buy an iPhone 5 or any other LTE device, or a $50 gift card when getting an iPad.
Valid for walk-in only. Merry Christmas!
Nikon D600 & 24-85 VR Give-Away
Adorama is giving away D600s, and throwing in the 24-85 VR and extended warranty, a 32 GB card, a case, a spare battery & charger, a remote trigger, Wi-Fi adapter and a cleaning kit, all for $1,996.95 — less than I paid for my bare D600 body a couple of months ago.
Not only are they throwing in a $600 lens, case and a bunch of other goodies for over $100 less than I paid for my bare body, they're throwing in 4% rewards as well.
If you're not upgrading to Canon (the Canon 6D is so much better than the D600), now is the time!
Canon Point-and-Shoot Deal: $69!
Adorama's got the Canon A2400 (16 MP, 28-140mm equiv. 5x optical zoom, 2.7" LCD, Li-Ion battery and charger) on sale for $69 in black or silver, or in baby blue or pink for the ladies. (The picture of the black version looks a bit brown me.)
$69 is a steal. Adorama usually gets $120 for them if you don't know about this deal, and Canon sells them for $149.99.
Nikon D3100 with lens: $379!
The Nikon D3100 is essentially the same as the Nikon D3200, and sells for only $477 with lens, or refurbished for only $379 with lens. Pay $7.95 for Adorama's VIP club, and they'll throw in a full year's extra warranty as well.

Nikon D5100 Deals
Adorama's got refurbished Nikon D5100s, both as a kit with 18-55mm VR for just $429 and body-only for a mere $379.
If I needed one of these, you'd better believe I'd be snatching up these refurbs instead of waiting for the same thing — the D5200 — for probably twice the price, once Nikon USA cleans-out stock on the D5100.
Olympus Clean-Out
Adorama is blowing out all their Olympus EP3 kits, and just announced a $100 instant rebate.

Adorama's got a secret deal running on a T4I bundle. To get it:
1.) click here to go to Adorama's T4i page, where the body only sells on sale forå $748.
2.) Click the "Buy Together and Save $100" link towards the top of the page between the photo of the camera and the price.
3.) A new window opens with more stuff you can click to add to the order.
4.) Click the button next to the 40mm STM lens.
5.) Click the big ADD TO CART button.
6.) You'll see that magically there now is the T4i body, the 40 STM lens, some free printer paper, some software for 95¢, and a printer for $228. Your total is now $1,086.95.
7.) There is a $400 mail-in rebate on that printer, bringing your total outlay for this cornucopia of goodies down to only $686.95, which is a screaming deal for the T4i alone, much less with the 40mm STM lens. Ditch some of this loot on eBay, and your outlay is even less!

It's got a fast lens, f/2.8-4.3, compared to the f/2.8-5.9 (1-stop slower at the long end) lens of the S100.

IT'S BACK: Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 for Nikon for only $669. The Tokina 11-16mm is the best ultrawide lens made for the D7000 and better DX cameras with a built-in AF motor. It's usually hard to find at any price because it's just that good - better than Nikon's own lenses!

DEAL: Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 for Sony & Minolta Maxxum for only $719. Note: on 35mm AF Maxxum cameras, only works at longer than 14mm without cutting-off the full-frame corners — still a pretty darn slick way to get a real 15mm lens for full-frame!

DEAL: Canon S95 for $299 with free shipping at Amazon. (Amazon's free shipping with Amazon Prime.)
The best keeps getting better; I paid $400 for my S95 last year. Canon must be blowing them out to make room for the more profitable $430 S100, which is the same thing with a slower lens and minus one custom function button, but adds some fluff features.
Don't come whining to me when the S95 sells out!

NEW: $120 Complete Lighting Kit Deal
Adorama has a special coupon deal for you, my dear readers.
Use coupon code S0925201 at checkout for this two-light kit, and the price drops to $119.99, with free shipping!
This two-light kit uses continuous 5500K fluorescent lights. I prefer strobes for studio shooting, like Adorama's $400 three-light strobe set, and I learned that these continuous light are both for video, as well as for people who don't have a flash meter or know how to guess exposure on their LCD.
This $120 two-light kit is ideal for an inexpensive way to get great lighting for use making product photos, or anything really. I'd be sure to set a manual white-card white balance for the best color, and I do the same thing with my strobes.
Enjoy!

Studio Lighting Deal
Everyone asks me how I light my product photos. I use a 1990s Novatron three-light kit.
Novatron doesn't make them like they used to, so here's the same thing, for even less money, from Adorama:
Adorama Three Strobe Set.
Adorama has a $400 three-light strobe set, perfect for portraits and product photography.
It includes three monoblock strobe heads, three stands, and two umbrellas (the third strobe is used as a catchlight from the rear without needing an umbrella).
It also includes a big case about 37" long. The first 50 orders will get a free upgrade to a case with wheels; otherwise, the regular basic case isn't that exciting if you plan to have to haul it around.
These three strobes each plug in the wall with three power cords.
They each have an integral slave, so use your camera's pop-up or shoe-mounted flash on Manual to fire all the strobes together. Of course you can use additinal wireless, radio and IR slaves if you like.
These strobes also operate on battery power if you want to buy additional battery packs, one for each strobe.
The strobes have variable power and modeling lights, and of course to conserve the batteries the modeling lights don't light on battery power.
Flash meters are nice, but I don't use one. Just shoot at about f/16 in manual exposure mode at your lowest ISO, look at your LCD, and adjust the aperture (or lights) to taste.
Adorama's overstock and close-outs
Hensel Porty Premium 1200 Watt Second Battery Operated, Radio Slave Power Pack: $1,799.95, usually $2,482.

Help me help you top
I support my growing family through this website, as crazy as it might seem.
The biggest help is when you use any of these links to Adorama, Amazon, B&H, eBay, Ritz, Calumet and J&R and when you get your goodies. It costs you nothing, and is this site's, and thus my family's, biggest source of support. eBay is always a gamble, but all the other places always have the best prices and service, which is why I've used them since before this website existed. I recommend them all personally.
If you find this page as helpful as a book you might have had to buy or a workshop you may have had to take, feel free to help me continue helping everyone.
If you've gotten your gear through one of my links or helped otherwise, you're family. It's great people like you who allow me to keep adding to this site full-time. Thanks!
If you haven't helped yet, please do, and consider helping me with a gift of $5.00.
