Canon T5i with 2 Lens Kit and Printer Kit $449

in

This combination is only $449 after the $350 rebate which expires April 2, 2016. I run similar promotions and purchased these type of packages from Canon over the years and they are really great about paying your rebate often in the form of a prepaid credit card from American Express.
If you do the math, you are paying practically less than $200 for the Canon T5i camera body if you don't need the two lenses and are willing to sell the printer with in combination separately.

 

Yes, the T5i is an older camera body but it has an 18 megapixel sensor, flip out LCD screen, five frames per second, Wi-Fi, and pretty much all these features that you might not ever use as an amateur photographer. If you are pro-photographer, you might just want to keep the printer and sell the rest off and you will pretty much get the printer for free. What I'm saying is you can't lose as long as you purchase it, and send in the rebate immediately. It takes usually less than two months for the rebate to arrive.

Fuji XE-2 Lens and Grip Package $699

in

This is a fantastic deal on a mid-range camera system.  There is a newer XE-2S is out but it only has incremental improvements, with most of the improvements coming to the XE-2 already via firmware update that already came out.

I'd say this is a fantastic way to get into mirrorless and a great choice if you like B/W photography with fantastic results using its Fuji Film simulations.

The best $50 digital camera

in

This Canon S110 is probably the best under $50 portable digital camera you can buy today.  Yes, its refurbished, but its refurbished by Canon themselves so it means its like new when you get it.

The Canon S series was widely lauded as the best pocketable digital camera in its day, a few which not more than a few years ago used to command a $400-$700 price range.  Of course now with so much competition, and newer models that have since came out its no longer top of the line.

For $50 you can't beat this...
