  Black Friday Sales

  Posted by Martin Knox on November 23, 2011 at 10:23 pm

  Hey all. This should probably be in a general forum but I don’t think you guys have that. Anyway, does anyone know of any black friday deal that prosumer/professional shooters and editors would want to know about?

  Watch out for dirty deals.

  There are a lot of very attractive bundles built around the Sony NEX-5.

  Only the NEX-5 is no good for video. In fact, it is discontinued. The NEX-5n replacement is not being discounted, but it is essential for video.

  Sennheiser announced a $50 rebate on an Evolution Wireless system I was about to buy from B&H Photo. I go back to my shopping cart, and the price has been increased almost exactly $100. So the “hot deal” requiring a mail in rebate is no discount at all, but rather a major price increase over what the item cost just 3 days ago. BTW – I think this is Sennheiser, not B&H because the price on Amazon increased also.

  In general, a lot of the stuff at retail on black Friday is close outs and discontinued.

  Watch your email. I am seeing more activity this year on industry gear and vendors.

  One I am interested in is 10% off everything all day “Cyber Monday” at SmallHD.
