Best tech deals of the weekend: Sony a9, iPad Pro, Blink XT cams & more

Sony a9 (with 5TB hard drive and camera bag)

By far the best deal of the weekend, B&H photo is offering $1000 off a Sony a9 mirrorless camera bundle that includes a Seagate 5TB mobile hard drive and ONA camera bag. The Sony a9 is Sony’s flagship mirrorless camera and usually goes for $4,498 on its own, so at $3,498 with the hard drive and bag it’s a steal. You’ll have to be quick if you want it. B&H will only be offering this deal Sunday, April 14 so don’t hesitate.

As part of a Member Exclusive Sale this Saturday, Best Buy is throwing in a free $50 giftcard with the Ricoh Theta-V.
