The Canon EOS Rebel T6 two-lens kit gets $300 off ahead of Prime Day

By

If you’re looking for an entry-level camera that will allow you to move up from a compact camera or a smartphone, the Canon EOS Rebel T6 might be the one for you. This DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) camera offers solid image quality at a budget-friendly price.

What’s more,

Amazon is offering a pre-owned unit in a two-lens bundle at the discounted price of $428

. The kit normally retails for $749, including both the 18-55mm and 70-300mm lenses. That’s $300 worth of savings compared to buying everything brand new. This promo is part of Amazon’s early Prime Day deals.

Don’t mistake the EOS Rebel T6 for a basic camera despite its compact size and entry-level status. It possesses features that any aspiring professional photographer can work with. The camera is built around an 18-megapixel APS-C (Advanced Photo System type-C) sensor, a format with the dimensions of 25.1×16.7 mm and an aspect ratio of 3:2. It can record video footage in Full HD 1080p. Native sensitivity is at ISO100-6,400 and is expandable up to 12,800. It is a full-sized DSLR camera but is conveniently compact and lightweight, shaped ergonomically that makes it comfortable to hold.

The EOS Rebel T6 is equipped with Wi-Fi and NFC (near-field communication) connectivity. It lacks the Bluetooth connectivity found in some newer models though. Transferring images from your camera directly to your smartphone is possible through Canon’s iOS or Android app. You can also share photos straight to social media by using the app. For wired connections, it uses an older (and slower) USB 2.0 port, while a mini HDMI port allows you to view images and videos on your TV.

The two accompanying zoom lenses offer additional flexibility in the images you produce. The 18-55mm is a moderate wide-angle lens that that is great for landscapes, architecture and environmental photography, while the 75-300mm is ideal for taking portraits.

Because food photography plays a vital part in most people’s daily routine, Canon added a Food Mode on the camera. This autoexposure mode boosts the brightness, vibrancy, and adds a cooler tone to the image of food since restaurant lighting is usually warmer and deliberately dim.

Battery life lasts a respectable 500 shots, which is more than enough to get you through a typical day’s shooting without the need to recharge.

If you’re planning to take the EOS Rebel T6 with you on a camping trip to take pictures of nature, you may want to check out this page for Prime Day deals on camping essentials.

But if you’re not completely sold on the pre-owned EOS Rebel T6 two-lens kit deal (although seriously, for only $449 it’s an excellent bargain), head over to this page for the best DSLR cameras for 2019.

Great for a movie night, this HD projector down to $90 for Prime Day
The Smonet Movie Projector attached to a smartphone.

If you've been planning to buy a projector for your living room or bedroom, now's the perfect time with the discounts that you can enjoy from Amazon's Prime Day deals. Here's a tempting offer that you wouldn't want to miss -- the Smonet Movie Projector for a very affordable $90, which is less than half its original price of $220 following a $130 discount. We're not sure if this bargain will be available throughout the shopping holiday though, so if you're interested, you're going to have to push through with the purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the Smonet Movie Projector
Make your movie nights at home feel like you're watching at the cinemas with the Smonet Movie Projector, which is capable of 1080p HD video output at 7,500 lumens. In comparison, some of the best projectors only go beyond 3,000 lumens, according to our guide on how to choose a home theater projector. You'll be getting extreme brightness with the Smonet Movie Projector so you won't be missing any detail on what you're watching, even in dark scenes. Additionally, it's capable of a projection display as large as 200 inches, with a recommended distance from your wall or projection screen of between 4.9 feet and 16.4 feet. You'll want to check out our guide on how to set up a home theater projector for help on the perfect arrangement.

Prime Day: Get this Asus laptop with a fingerprint reader for $210
Asus Vivobook S 14 Flip rear view showing lid and logo.

With Prime Day finally upon us, it's the perfect time to pick up a business laptop if you've been eyeing one for a while. Luckily, there's a great Prime Day deal on the Asus VivoBook 14, a lightweight yet versatile laptop for work and school. You can grab one from Amazon for just $210, rather than the usual $270 it goes for, which is a nice $60 discount.

Why you should buy the ASUS VivoBook 14
The ASUS VivoBook 14 has many great productivity chops while also being very budget oriented, mostly due to the Intel Core i3-1115G4 running under the hood. While it's an entry-level CPU, it's still relatively robust and should easily handle most productivity tasks without issue. That said, it may struggle with RAM-heavy tasks, like programming or opening lots of apps and tabs, since it only comes with 4GB of RAM, which isn't much nowadays. It also means that even though it comes with Windows 11, it's running in S-mode, a pared-down version missing a few features here and there, although nothing that would impact your productivity. There are 8GB and 12GB versions you can buy, but they're considerably more expensive.

This HP Chromebook is discounted from $290 to $180 for Prime Day
The 2022 release of the HP Chromebook 14a, with apps on the screen.

Are this year's Prime Day laptop deals not that exciting for you? If you still need a new device but you're on a tight budget, you may want to look at the HP Chromebook 14a, which is available from Amazon for just $180 following a $110 discount on its original price of $290. It's not going to blow you away with its specifications, but it's a dependable device that will accompany you through each day. You're going to have to make the purchase as soon as you can if you're interested though, as we're not sure if the offer will remain available until the end of Prime Day deals.

Why you should buy the HP Chromebook 14a
Our Chromebook versus laptop comparison says Chromebooks are great for daily use, including functions like checking email, browsing social media, and typing documents. Like the best Chromebooks, these are the kinds of tasks that the HP Chromebook 14a won't have a problem dealing with. The device is powered by the Intel Celeron N4120 processor, ‎Intel UHD Graphics 600, and 4GB of RAM -- it doesn't look like much, but with Google's Chrome OS relying on web-based apps from the Google Play Store instead of installed software, it's more than enough.
