I have a budget of exactly $3,500. I'm not sure if that's enough for the camera and the lens part. I see some websites listing it for way less than others and it’s very confusing. I don't want to get scammed by a fake store. Does Canon usually do big discounts for Cyber Monday on their newer stuff? I’m worried if I wait until the actual day they might sell out. Or maybe the "early" deals are actually better?

I've been checking B&H and Amazon but I don't see any 2026 holiday banners yet. Is it too early to look? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I’ve never bought a real camera before. I just want clear photos of her scoring goals. Do I need to buy a specific "kit" to get a deal? I saw something about "body only" but I assume I need the glass part to actually work. If anyone knows if these usually go on sale or if I should just buy it now, let me know. My wife is pretty firm on the $3,500 limit for everything. Is that even realistic for this model during the 2026 holidays?

I did some digging on the usual spots like B&H and Adorama, but they’re still hovering around that $2,400 mark which feels kinda ridiculous for a body this old. I even found one thread on a rumor site mentioning a $1,799 doorbuster for this year, but the link was dead (classic).

Constraints I'm working with:

• Must be a US model (no grey market nonsense, I need that warranty for my business)


• Budget is strictly $2,100 total


• Needs to leave me enough room to grab a couple of fast CFexpress cards

It’s just frustrating because I keep seeing these "early" ads that turn out to be for the R6 II or just standard kit bundles that don't actually save you anything on the body. Oh, I forgot to check if the refurbished store usually does separate Cyber Monday stacks—anyone remember if they did that last year? Does anyone know if there’s a legitimate price drop coming this Monday, or is Canon just gonna keep the price propped up forever?

I'm totally new to this whole appliance shopping game—honestly, I've lived in rentals my whole life where the landlord just provides whatever white box is cheapest—so I'm kinda lost on how the cycles work. Here’s the situation:

• Must be the counter-depth version (our kitchen layout is super narrow).


• Budget is $2,800 tops, but I'd love to see it hit $2,100 if that's even realistic.


• Needs to be delivered by December 2026 so we can actually move in.

I found a random blog post saying LG usually refreshes their lineup in the spring, so maybe the 2026 models won't be on sale yet? Or maybe the 2025 ones will be the ones on clearance? I'm sorry if this is a really basic question, but I just don't want to wait until November only to find out they don't actually go on sale and then I'm stuck with no fridge for the holidays. It's a lot of money to gamble with. Oh, I also read somewhere that "Black Friday" deals are basically the same as Cyber Monday now for big appliances—is that even true anymore? I was hoping Cyber Monday might have better "online only" bundles for the smart features since it's... well, cyber.

Anyway, do these specific LG InstaView models actually get those 30-40% off tags I see in the flyers, or is that just for the basic stuff nobody wants?

I did some digging on MacRumors and some price-tracking subreddits, and a few people mentioned that Costco is the dark horse for bundles this year, but my local warehouse in Denver is completely cleaned out. I also checked the Apple Refurbished site—which is usually my go-to for quality—but they haven't updated their stock in weeks. Amazon is an option, obviously, but their "Renewed" listings are so hit-or-miss with battery health lately (I've seen way too many 80% capacity complaints in the reviews) and I can't afford a dud for client work.

Are we expecting a late-night drop on B&H or maybe Best Buy? I feel like I'm missing a specific retailer or some membership-only portal that actually has the stock. Where is everyone actually finding the real discounts this year? Everything just feels weirdly inflated...

I did some digging on RTINGs and a few deal trackers, and people are saying the C6 isn't a huge leap over the C5 (which usually means the C5 should be the "deal" to get), but I can't find C5 stock anywhere! It's like they vanished. Then I saw a leak on a forum suggesting that the G6—the one with the updated MLA tech—might actually hit $1,900 on Cyber Monday because of some weird oversupply issue at the panel factories. My budget is strictly $1,800, maybe $1,900 if I skip the soundbar upgrade for now.

Requirements for the new rig:

• Needs the full 144Hz support (for the PS6 and my PC).


• At least 4 HDMI 2.1 ports—I absolutely hate using splitters.


• Better peak brightness (my living room gets a lot of afternoon sun).

I'm just really anxious about pulling the trigger too early. Best Buy has a "Black Friday price guarantee," but does that actually apply to the specific Cyber Monday flash sales? I’ve seen them change the model numbers slightly in the past just to avoid price matching. Is anyone seeing better leaks for the 65-inch G6 specifically? Or should I just settle for the C6 and hope the nits are enough for a bright room...
