Why Tom Bought a Second EOS R (As Seen on YouTube)

Featured Video Play Icon

If you’re into videography, check out a recent YouTube video upload from CPW reader Tom Buck. He makes a great case for not just one but two EOS R for video production, and why, despite its age, this three-year old workhorse shouldn’t be overlooked — even with all the hype about the R5!

We think you’ll enjoy Tom’s videos as much as we do, so please check out his channel, like, and subscribe. Thanks, Tom, for also sharing your experience with CPW street price in the video!

The EOS R is the best active Canon deal with several bundle options at the $1599 price-point and a street price of $1449 (very limited stock left).

Canon Refurbished Deals (Still Live): RP, M50, 50mm STM, Free Ship


During yesterday’s Black Friday craziness, some of the best sub-$1000 camera deals were at the Canon Direct Store and not getting much attention. The refurbished Thanksgiving sale started last week, and is still live, with some great discounts on the EOS RP, EOS M50 with 15-45mm Lens (Black), and the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM.

Until end of year, shipping is now free from the Canon Store. This makes purchasing small items cost-effective once again.



QNAP TS-453D 4-Bay Desktop NAS for $399.99 at Adorama


Adorama is discounting the QNAP TS-453D 4-Bay NAS Enclosure to $399.99, from a regular price of $499. This is a 20% Black Friday savings!

This 4-Bay NAS has an Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core 2.0 GHz processor and 2.5GbE connectivity. It also supports PCIe expansion, 4K HDMI output and real-time transcoding.



Black Friday Street Price: EOS R6 $2449, Both Adapters Now In-Stock


Another popular item in our Black Friday Street Price sale has been the EOS R6. It too is starting to run low on-stock, at our popular price of $2449.00 from authorized dealers with a 1-year Canon USA warranty. No state sales tax is collected.

We also now have both types of Canon RF mount adapters available — you can add a basic adapter for $99 or the control ring adapter for $199 to this purchase (while quantities last).



Adorama has the RF 85mm f/2 Macro In-Stock at $599


Adorama has the Canon RF 85mm F2 Macro IS STM in-stock, at a price of $599.00. As this lens has been in short supply and hard to find, we’d expect that this will probably sell out rather quickly!

Other major dealers are either not showing an availability date, or a date far into the future (January).

Thanks, Franklin, for the heads-up!

As usual with all suspected pricing mistakes — we recommend you buy now and think later…

Black Friday Street Price: Last Call — EOS R $1449, RF 24-70, 15-35


Our Black Friday street price deals continue to be very popular — many have now sold out, and we expect these three deals to sell out shortly. Due to the supply challenges this year, we don’t expect these deals to be restocked before the pricing expires.

These are brand new items from Canon authorized dealers, with a 1-year Canon USA warranty and free shipping.

In many cases, no sales tax is collected by the dealer.
