Canon DSLR Cyber Monday

Amazon is about to open up Cyber Monday with a Lightning Deal on a Canon DSLR.  Chances are that this limited quantity item will go fast, so watch the countdown here a little before 12:15AM ET if you’re interested.

If you’re not looking for a DSLR, there are plenty of photo accessories like memory cards, lenses, tripods, computers and more on the Cyber Monday 2011 deals page.

Even though B&H Photo’s 1-hour $99 deal on Lightroom 3 is gone, it looks like there are still a couple of options for picking up the full version of Lightroom 3 for under $100.

Lightroom on Amazon

Check out Amazon’s listing (see above screenshot). Instead of adding the in-stock version sold by a third-party, look on the right side of the listing and you’ll see that Amazon is still allowing you to buy it for $99.99.  Mine says it “ships in 8-9 days.”

Additionally, Newegg appears to still have it in stock at $99.99.  Here’s the link to Newegg’s listing.

Lexar SDHC 32GB Black Friday Cyber Monday Deal

Amazon has the Lexar 32GB Professional 133x card for $39.99 through Nov. 27.  This is Class 10 card that, combined with the capacity, makes it a good option for recording HD video.

The Class 10 rating is a rating intended for evaluating video capture performance.  In this case, Class 10 is the fastest rating currently available for video performance, which means these will work with just about every HD video camera on the market today.  For a more detailed explanation of SDHC card classes and speed ratings, check out my prior article on Demystifying SD Cards.

Flip MinoHD Black Friday

Buy.com has the Flip MinoHD (w/ 120 min. record time) for $62.50.

Even though the Flip brand is discontinued, these are still great little camcorders.  I still use my 3-year-old Flip Mino all the time.  This camera was $229 when it was first released a couple years ago.
