If your are looking for deals on digital cameras or other photography gears, or you are simply going after some therapeutic effects of spending money (shopping therapy), there may be something you can do on the coming Friday.
You don’t have to wait until Thursday to buy local newspapers to get started. The deals were all “leaked” way ahead of the time. Typically I check out http://bfads.net/. If you know what you are looking for, you can simply search for the item you want. Otherwise you can browse the categories (direct link to Digital Camera category).
Another good site is http://www.blackfriday.info. Some relevant categories are digital cameras, memory cards, and photo frames.
It is perhaps no longer a secret about most of the deals. The stores don’t have more than a few of them and there will be no rain checks. If you want to try your luck of scoring a great deal by standing in line before the door opens, you have my best wishes. If you are too lazy to get up early or just being smarter, you may already know that there are lots of hot deals online as well. Many online stores also have sells going on before and after the Black Friday. For example, Amazon Black Friday Deals starts on Monday, November 23, which is just a few hours away. If that’s too long to wait, their Today’s Deals in Camera and Photo
is going on all the time.

One of our readers was kind to drop us a note about the $60 savings you can get by buying the Capture NX 2 full version from Cameta Camera (check store rating). At $119.95, it is the cheapest we have seen.
Nikon Mall wants the full price for both boxed retail and download versions. It is currently $131.56 from Amazon. 3rd party prices are as low as $127.
We thank Michael for the note and welcome more such deals. Please use our contact form or email us at info@dptnt.com.

With this coupon, you can take 10% off a single item at a Bestbuy store. Sony DSLR cameras, lenses and flashes are excluded from the deal but there are other photography goodies you can buy, including the hot new Nikon D5000.
The D5000 + Nikkor 18-55 f/3.5-5.6G VR kit is currently available for $849.95 at Amazon, $849.99 at Bestbuy. With 10% off, it becomes $765, only $35 more than the body-only price without the coupon. Bestbuy doesn’t appear to have the body-only option yet.
The deal is brought to you by the USPS Mover’s Guide. I guess if you go to your local postal service office and pickup the Change of Address package, you may be able to find a print version of the coupon. But you don’t have to. There are many places who have the online version for you to download and print.
The coupon is good until June 30, 2009.

Well, there is more bleak news lately. Consumers are clearly holding back on their spending. The camera gear manufacturers are most likely nervous too. No government stimulus package for them, so they do themselves a favor by enticing us to buy.
Canon has just sent out an email newsletter about its instant saving deals on SLR lenses and flashes. The offer is valid between October 19, 2008 and January 17, 2009 at authorized Canon dealers. Check out the qualified products in this Canon flyer (PDF) or the image below (Click to view larger version).
If you are interested in digital camcorders, mail-in rebates are also offered for the XL2 and GL2 models.

The economy is still souring. People are holding on to their wallets with fear of uncertainty. Competition is stronger… I guess these are the reasons to see some nice rebates and price cuts coming for Nikon products.
Also, check out the list of best selling DSLR cameras at Amazon.com.
