Want to get into photography? The Canon EOS R100 is $100 off today

For some, it might be hard to justify a dedicated camera purchase, because nearly every modern phone has a built-in camera. If you intend to take professional-quality photos, however, phone cameras really won’t do. The problem is that trying to break into the world of photography can be very, very expensive. That’s why it’s always good to start with a beginner-friendly camera until you learn the ropes. The Canon EOS R100 is an excellent novice and intermediate-level camera, and it’s on sale today at Target. Normally $600, you’re saving $100 as part of this deal, which means you’re getting the camera for $500. That’s a pretty good offer we’ve seen come and go recently, and we’re mighty glad it’s back.

Why shop this Canon EOS R100 deal with a lens kit at Target?

So, what does this camera have going for it? Why is it such a good option for beginner to intermediate photographers? Besides the fact that Canon is an excellent brand — and a staple in the photography world — it has some great specs, but more importantly, it’s user-friendly and intuitive to configure. That might not seem like much until you’re out in the field trying to snap some incredible pics and you have full access to the settings and features.

Recommended Videos

The Canon EOS R100 has a 24.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, DIGIC 8 processor, dual-pixel CMOS autofocus, and can handle 6.5 frames-per-second of continuous shooting. The latter means when you want to capture an action shot, but via stills, you can get more detail and clarity thanks to continuous snaps. While you wouldn’t necessarily grab this camera for video, it can also shoot full HD movies at up to 60 frames per second or 4K (cropped) movies at up to 24 frames per second. Video shouldn’t be the go-to, of course, but it’s always nice to have.

Creative filters and creative assist onboard help you optimize your photos. Meanwhile, the CMOS autofocus has the ability to detect human faces while focusing on the subject’s eyes. Plus, Bluetooth and WiFi are built-in. That allows you to use the Canon Camera Connect app to transfer and share your photos without connecting to a computer or another device. Moreover, the EOS R100 has an RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens, and this kit comes with an added RF-S55-210mm F5-7.1 IS STM lens for telephoto zoom coverage.

Normally $600, you can get the Canon EOS R100 kit at Target for $500 today, saving you $100. These rotating deals don’t last long, so don’t wait around if you’re interested, but you probably already knew that.

Swap the restrictive diets for something personalized, Simple, and save 60%
A screenshot of the Simple weightloss app.

It's late January — are you still on your restrictive weight-loss, muscle-gain program? No? We aren't surprised, as most people give up on resolutions by this time, so you aren't alone. Part of it comes down to the very nature of resolutions and human resolve, but another part is the way we make resolutions — they're extreme, hardcore, and more 75 hard than 75 soft. That's why we're looking at the Simple app, which uses an intelligent (and simple!) system to turn your hardcore goals into something you can actually manage. Right now you can get 60% off of the app's services, too (though you can start for free). To get started, tap the button below and take Simple's engaging quiz that lets the app learn about you, your goals, and your current condition. Or, keep reading to see what we found as we dug below the surface and learned more about Simple.

Why you should try Simple for weight loss and health
Simple's philosophy becomes apparent from the moment you take the quiz we mentioned above. First of all, they aren't about taking away foods you like, that's very apparent. So, if you're afraid of starting a weight loss or health journey because you don't want to give up the occasional fried food, that's perfectly alright. Also, notice how we say "weight loss or health journey" — as I filled out the app's questionnaire, the app noticed I was already a healthy weight, but there were still muscle-gain goals available. And, even if you are trying to lose weight, it can literally be just to trim up and lose 10 pounds or so. Finally, the app uses very colloquial terms. For example, in "belly types" they use terms like gluten belly, meaning you don't have to be a health terms expert to get quick info.

The Hublot Big Bang Original Steel automatic watch on a white background.

While we're always rounding up some watch deals for affordable timepieces, we also check for offers on luxury watches that don't often go on sale. Here's one from Amazon: the Hublot Big Bang Original Steel at 14% off, which brings the price of the automatic watch down from $13,300 to $11,500 for total savings of $1,800. It's still not what you'd call affordable, of course, but if you're on the hunt for a luxury watch, you should heavily consider taking advantage of this deal as this class of watches rarely gets discounts.

Why you should buy the Hublot Big Bang Original Steel automatic watch
Hublot is a famous luxury watch brand that's behind the popular Big Bang line, and the Hublot Big Bang Original Steel showcases everything to like about the series. The 44mm case is made of polished and satin-finished stainless steel, and it comes with black structured rubber straps. The automatic watch is water resistant up to a depth of 100 meters, and while it's a self-winding chronograph, it holds a power reserve of 42 hours.

The first sampler you can pick up is the Olivia. These folks are a pretty big staple of the cigar world and have been making cigars since the 1800s. The 10-cigar sampler usually goes for $97 and includes a nice selection from Connecticut Reserve Toro to Serie O Maduro Robusto. Another bundle from an old-school Cigar maker is the La Aurora pack, which comes with a lot of classic flavors like La Aurora Preferidos 1903 and La Aurora 115 Anniversario. The 10-pack usually goes for $105, so it's pretty high-end, but this deal knocks it down to $20, so it's perfect if you've been wanting to try it out.
