Wow. That took a long time. I could have watched a whole episode of Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell in the time it took me to load meh.com. Did someone kick the plug out again over there?
Funny, I talked to my wife incessantly for the past week about how I would pick on of these up for Black Friday until yesterday when the clutch went in one of cars. I think it’s a pretty solid deal though. A couple days ago though a lot more was offered by an independent dealer on Amazon for $449 (sd cards, tripod, extra lenses), but for cheapness, this is definitely the best deal I’ve seen in the past week.
Because of meh’s humanity, they are all vegetarians. And rather than murder some helpless birds, they all stayed home, and let the turkeys run the website today
Whenever a camera pops up on MEH I never know if it’s a great deal and I should jump on it and quit my day job and be a professional traveling rock & roll wedding photographer… or if it’s a pretty basic deal and I should keep my day job as a strictly local rock & roll wedding photographer.
@vin314 You should’ve gone with Kohl’s. Right now they’re giving $15 Kohl’s cash for every $50 spent. You would receive $135 back to spend on other cheap Kohl’s stuff.
What crap - I bought this camera last time it came up and love it. Now it’s on sale for the same price with the extra zoom lens I’ve been thinking about getting. If you’re interested in getting a DSLR, but don’t want to make a huge investment, this one is a great beginner camera.
On a cold Friday morn that was Black
Jumped on meh (once the servers were back)
So SURE of a fuko
The answer was fuk-no!
Just shows that I don’t know jack
Every time this has come up I decided not to buy it. This time they add the 70-300 mm zoom lens, probably the most versatile single lens you will ever need. Along with the 18-55 mm, the beginner to serious amateur has all the camera and lens they will need. Go to your local discount emporium, get a semi cheap tripod and you are good to go. I caved and went in on this deal and I am happy. Just in time for my daughter’s wedding in May.
Isn’t this for $449 at Best Buy today, with both lens? Still a great deal here considering you don’t have to stand in line.
Edit: I must either be just waking up or the price dropped here by ~50.
@kus I dunno it doesn’t really bother me that this doesn’t record 1080p60. If it isn’t gaming footage, I feel like 60 FPS is pretty unnecessary IRL. Anything shot in 60 FPS always remind me of telenovelas. Of course this may be different for our kids or future generations, but I feel it’s safe to say 60 FPS won’t see widespread use in live action film or TV until years to come.
@kus the Nikon d3300 can but it has taken hits for having grainy video and low light capabilities and inexplicably suffers from a 10 minute limit on video clips compared to most cameras’ 30 minutes. With that said I largely echo @bluepaperclip’s sentiments, it’s a premium feature most people have no need for.
Définition of Irony: not even 24 hours after a holiday in which we are supposed to celebrate the many things we have in life to be grateful for people are acting like spoiled children on Meh because the deal wasn’t what they wanted but were never promised or the really nice price on a current year model camera bundle isn’t a “fire sale clear the shelves before the insurance adjuster gets here so we can take it all as a loss” price. Thanks for NOT making me feel good about the nature of humanity guys.
For the record this is a fantastic deal for what’s included.
Fuck the haters. I was actually researching this camera a few weeks ago, $50 off Amazon prices I’ll take this as a sign to buy the damn camera already.
@j37hr0 YouTube worked really well for me. Don’t just fiddle with it thinking you’ll figure it out. Spend some time on YouTube watching the functions being explained and demonstrated and you’ll be really glad you did. Then start fiddling. DSLRs have a lifespan and eventually the shutter will fail, so this is a great camera to learn on. The next camera you get can be a more expensive one with more features and you’ll start out with a much better grasp of how to get the most out of it.
Perfect deal for my 12-year-old who told us that he wants only one thing this Christmas: a starter DSLR. He’s been taking photography as an elective in middle school, and wants to become a photographer. Thanks, Meh!
Just when you thought you got a good deal on “just the camera” when it was being sold a few months ago, then Meh comes out with a better bundle for the same damn price. Maybe I should just start holding off altogether on Meh.com purchases?
@thethiefprince you still got a good deal. Posts like this frustrate the crap out of me. Just because someone else eventually got a better deal doesn’t make your deal a bad deal. :|
Wish I wasn’t broke. I started with an Olympus OM-1 (which I still have) with several lenses and other assorted things. Love that camera and would still use it were film not so expensive. Now I only use an ancient point and shoot olympus digital that is likely at least 10 years old. Anyone want to buy my Olympus OM-1 and all the assorted stuff I have to go with it so I can add to my digital camera through the DSLR camera fund?
FWIW if this holds up as well as my T5 has it will be a great camera for whoever buys it.
I was taking pics at a waterfall in the UP in mid-oct and while trying to spot for my grandson who had also climbed up with me I lost my footing and slid down about 50 ft of rocks to land in a pool of (COLD) water at the bottom. I ended up with one HELLUVA bruise on my hip, but more critically, the camera (T5) I had been using got briefly submerged as well. As soon as I got my s*** together and got out of the water I opened the battery compartment and pulled the battery and the SD card out as well as the lens I had been using. I blew out what water I could, and had to strip off my wet clothes down to my underwear to get into the rental car, then when we got back to the house we had AirBnB’d I put it in the toaster oven at the lowest setting overnight. I figured WTF did I have to lose?
Amazingly, it recovered and I was able to shoot several hundred pics the next day at the wedding we were attending. Of course I would NOT recommend trying to replicate this event, but it’s nice to know that it was able to take that punishment and “keep on ticking”.
@jbartus actually I wasn’t TOTALLY unscathed. The “fall colors” in the UP this year included this huge bruise on my upper thigh (about twice the size of my hand…)

Man! This thing is Fukubukuro slow today.
this is not a Fuku.
Meh is a site famous for selling $4 speaker docks and other cheap, dollar-store merchandise.
“Black Friday” is a day when retailers both off and online deeply discount their wares.
Meh sells a $400 camera.
@elpepe
Is that a complaint or not?
@elpepe +1
@elpepe seeing as it is $50 cheaper then costco (with out a card) id say its s better then black friday deal.
http://m.costco.com/Canon-EOS-Rebel-T6-DSLR-Camera-2-Lens-Bundle.product.100288979.html
took 14 minutes to get on to the site. AND it’s not a FUKU… well kind of is, but different
@larrygrochal This is more of a fuck u.
Meh, not for me, but might be for someone – unlike the endless parade of mugs and quadcopters.
17 minutes to log on meh…servers are the black hole tonight instead of Black Friday
Wow. That took a long time. I could have watched a whole episode of Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell in the time it took me to load meh.com. Did someone kick the plug out again over there?
I SHAVED MY BALLS FOR THIS?
@alacrity Pics or it didnt happen.
@MrMark

A couple days ago though a lot more was offered by an independent dealer on Amazon for $449 (sd cards, tripod, extra lenses), but for cheapness, this is definitely the best deal I’ve seen in the past week.
@choosebreakfast Those extras are mostly crap. Add-on lenses, tripod about as weak as it ca be, filters you will never use.
@choosebreakfast most of the time those deals are lies.
Because of meh’s humanity, they are all vegetarians. And rather than murder some helpless birds, they all stayed home, and let the turkeys run the website today
@eeterrific I wish we had turkeys to run the website. Instead we’re humans, with actual feelings.
@eeterrific
I wouldn’t exactly call them helpless. They’re violent. I know people who have been chased by them up and down streets.
@shawn
You shouldn’t have said that.
@shawn We still love you!
@sammydog01 aw, thanks. sent you an extra meh shirt.
@shawn You are the best! I was literally hiding from a family political argument (in the laundry room) when I saw this and you made my day!
@shawn sorry…we do like you…
I missed boc tonight then waited on this site to load for a fukburro so unhappy Thanksgiving to me
@AttyVette sorry I misread and deleted! hehe
@thismyusername I deleted because you deleted so I wrote back to you since you wrote back to me!
Is that a EF 75-300mm zoom lens in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
@mike808 It can be both…
50 minutes of trying to get the page to load and no fuku. Just a $400 **** you.
/giphy crying

@RDW0409 A rolling stone gathers no CMOS.
@RDW0409 With the Canon 300mm zoom, that’s a bargain.
But, no, seriously, that’s a great deal. If you’re not a Nikon lover.
WOW This Deal Sucks and your Servers STILL SUCK!
Just for the record, even if the server is going really slow, WeAreMeh still updates with the new daily listing within a minute or two…
(@f00l - Still excited for the listing on Monday. The anticipation is building.)
I was just about to order this from Kohl’s but I got lazy. Thanks for saving me $56 on the exact same thing!
@vin314 You should’ve gone with Kohl’s. Right now they’re giving $15 Kohl’s cash for every $50 spent. You would receive $135 back to spend on other cheap Kohl’s stuff.

@Cat3TRD better in your opinion than rebels?
edit
nevermind, i just came out of my drunken daze and realized that this is a rebel. i shall stick with my t5
edit
i blame the turkey.
… and also the massive amounts of vodka, beer, and other libations I have imbibed over the past 16 hours.
Good lord that is a high (definition) price tag. No thanks, meh.
On a cold Friday morn that was Black
Jumped on meh (once the servers were back)
So SURE of a fuko

Just shows that I don’t know jack
Meh… I’m not gonna drop money on a DSLR unless it supports at least 1080p/60fps.
To really compel me I’d need 4k/60fps, but I don’t expect cameras like those to be in the bargain bin any time soon.
/giphy too-expensive
If it was Nikon I’d jump on it. But this thing won’t work with my Nikon lenses. Oh well.
Every time this has come up I decided not to buy it. This time they add the 70-300 mm zoom lens, probably the most versatile single lens you will ever need.

@medz Don’t feel bad. . .intimation is the highest form of flattery. Celebrate - Wear your best meh tee (I highly suggest the cranberry/green).
I know you shouldn’t be shooting video with this but still… What would it cost them to make it record 1080p60? I think even though 3300 can do it?
/giphy 1080p60
@kus I dunno it doesn’t really bother me that this doesn’t record 1080p60. If it isn’t gaming footage, I feel like 60 FPS is pretty unnecessary IRL.

As mentioned above, $449.99 at Kohl’s with $135 back in Kohl’s cash. Sorry meh, but that deal kind of kicks this one’s ass.
@cinoclav Out of stock at Kohl’s
@cinoclav What’s the conversion rate of Kohl’s cash to wupiupi?
@schni That went quick. Bummer
@stinks wupiupi?!
@shawn Yes, wupiup. A currency every bit as useful as Kohl’s cash.
(We kid because we love
.)
I went to bed at a normal time, slept in a little, woke up had the page instantly load for this?
Well Kohl’s now says OOS
ah, my big Black Friday purchase.
/giphy disastrous-dry-relation
Fuck the haters. I was actually researching this camera a few weeks ago, $50 off Amazon prices I’ll take this as a sign to buy the damn camera already.
Thanks meh.
Is there a class to learn how to use this?
Well, I guess I’m in for one.

Buy It !
Perfect deal for my 12-year-old who told us that he wants only one thing this Christmas: a starter DSLR. He’s been taking photography as an elective in middle school, and wants to become a photographer. Thanks, Meh!
@g0nz great choice! He’ll get a lot of mileage out of that camera!
/giphy whiny-fouled-pretzel
Merry Christmas to me.

@thethiefprince you still got a good deal. Posts like this frustrate the crap out of me. Just because someone else eventually got a better deal doesn’t make your deal a bad deal. :|
@jbartus No where did I mention getting a “bad deal.” This just happens to be better, after-the-fact, which can be frustrating.
Wish I wasn’t broke. I started with an Olympus OM-1 (which I still have) with several lenses and other assorted things. Love that camera and would still use it were film not so expensive.

@chienfou that’s impressive. Glad you got out of things unscathed!
@jbartus actually I wasn’t TOTALLY unscathed. The “fall colors” in the UP this year included this huge bruise on my upper thigh (about twice the size of my hand…)
(edit: pic resized…)
@chienfou it is only fitting that an artist should suffer for his art. This too shall pass.
@jbartus It has… but the camera ‘healed’ quicker than I did!
My purchase arrived and it obviously had been opened and returned and is missing the battery. So far this is a less than mediocre purchase.
@kjw
Did you contact support?
