what black friday sale are you refering too? besides. anyways as far as camera's go. unless you plan on getting into it a lot more, buing lenses/flashes/filters etc. then go with a point and shoot. i bought an slr i havent used it in a long time. mostly cause i have been busy as fuck and i also have not had the money to fork over for lenses. but, you have to KNOW that in the long run you will get use out of that camera.
