Canon 5d mark iii

[Mljphotography]

Hello everyone,

Has anyone bought a 5d mark iii (or any pro body) during black Friday last year? I have a project coming up in November and I was debating if I should buy the camera now or shop black Friday and postpone the project for December. Does anyone know if the deals will be worth waiting for? Canons refurbished mark iii selling at 1999 right now. Thanks!

If you want it, then buy it.  At some point in time, the cameras will sell out and not be offered again.  No one on these forums knows what will be offered a month from now.  I say buy it, and start enjoying it, especially if it is on sale.

If you have looked at the Canon Online Refurbished store for any length of tme, then you should have noticed that some items are briefly "In Stock" before selling out.  Some items are in stock only once or twice per year, and sell out within hours when they are offered.  I've had a couple of items get away from me because I waited to call my son after he got off work.

Generally, black Friday does not matter much. Canon controls the prices pretty tightly. What you get is extra junk thrown in to make it *seem* like a deal.
