MODS STICKY THIS POST UNTIL SATURDAY.
IF THE MODS DON'T STICKY IT THAT'S COOL I'LL JUST KEEP BUMPING IT.
FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT THERE WILL BE NO "GOOD DEALS" ON DSLR'S/MIRRORLESS FOR BLACK FRIDAY.
I REPEAT: THERE WILL BE NO "GOOD DEALS" ON DSLR'S/MIRRORLESS ON BLACK FRIDAY.
BLACK FRIDAY DEALS ARE ALWAYS ON OLD STOCK (WHICH THEY WANT TO GET OFF THE SHELVES ANYWAY), OFF-BRAND MERCHANDISE THAT THEY GOT FOR CHEAP, AND GENERALLY ANYTHING ELSE THAT THEY ALREADY SELL AT A VERY HIGH MARGIN.
SERIOUS CAMERAS ALREADY HAVE A RAZOR THIN PROFIT MARGIN FOR THE RETAILER, SO THERE IS VERY LITTLE TO NO INCENTIVE FOR THEM TO DISCOUNT.
I HAVE LITERALLY NEVER SEEN A GOOD DISCOUNT FOR DIGITAL CAMERAS ON BLACK FRIDAY. DO NOT ASK AROUND /p/ IF THERE ARE ANY GOOD DEALS COMING UP. THE ANSWER WILL BE NO.
HERE'S WHAT YOU WILL LIKELY SEE A GOOD DEAL ON:
>ACCESORIES
Stuff like straps, off-brand filters, memory cards, cases. Most of this stuff they buy at 50% or less of retail, so they can afford to knock off a few bucks.
>BUNDLED KITS OF OLD STOCK
Quick! Buy this discontinued 3 year old camera with some junky kit lenses for ridiculous savings off what it would have cost three years ago! Please note that you could likely find any of these kits at the same price any other day of the year, they just pump you full of black friday hype so that you'll spend lest you miss out.
