The Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals are still trickling in…I’ll continue to update this post as new specials surface. Comment below or send me a message on twitter if you run across anything that looks good.

Coupla Cyber Monday updates from B&H:

* $200 off Canon EOS Rebel T1i Digital SLR Camera Kit w/18-55mm IS & 55-250mm IS Lens. Also has additional $50 mail in rebate…$250 total off for this DSLR that shoots 720p HD video (and 1080p at 20fps). Just $899.98 + S&H!
* $100 off Canon EOS Rebel T1i Digital SLR Camera with 18-135mm IS Lens (see above).

Amazon’s big page of Black Friday deals can be found here. Tons of items in many categories. I’ve posted a few specific links below that caught my eye:

* Good deals on 27″ iMacs (these appear to be i5 models, not the new i7 screamer).
* $149 off + free ship Apple iMac 21.5″, 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, 8x SuperDrive, 1920×1080 LED display (Lists for $1199 normally, is $1,049.99 now. This special price is still $48 cheaper than the Apple Store Black Friday price for the same hardware!).
* $90 off + free ship Sony BDP-S360 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player (pre-order, released Dec 7th).
* $228 off + free ship Canon VIXIA HF200 HD Flash Memory Camcorder with 15x Optical Zoom.

* $20 off + free ship VholdR ContourHD HD Helmet Camera.

Digicams: A relative was looking for some help with an affordable but nice point and shoot camera for general use…based on my research, the $179 Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12MP w/ 3x Optical IS Zoom & 2.5″ LCD looks like one of the best options out there. Has 4.5 star rating after 225 customer reviews, and also fared well in forum discussions at DPReview. Shoots 12.1MP images, has an optically stabilized lens, and also captures 720p HD video. Weighs under 4oz. Add a $15 8GB Sandisk SDHC card, $12 Kingston card reader, el-cheapo 3rd party NB-4L emergency backup battery, and you are still under $215 shipped. Not bad!

Kessler Crane is running a year-end special; $200 off KC-8 Basic Complete System & $50 off KC-8 Basic crane. I’m also told that for a limited time they are still honoring the PocketJib pre-order special price…$200 off.

I’m running a little Black Friday deal of my own…I recently listed my Mac G5 2.7 Dual desktop system on eBay, and will ship it free for any FreshDV buyer (within continental US). If you are the winning bidder, just email me following the auction & mention FreshDV, and I’ll refund the $45 shipping charges. Happy Thanksgiving!
