If you're looking to upgrade from your clunky DSLR to a fancy new mirrorless camera, this was one of the best Cyber Monday camera deals we have seen… but now it has got a bit better. The Canon EOS R100 with the RF 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 kit lens is now available for a bargain $499 at Adorama – and to sweeten the deal the New York store is now throwing in a bundle of goodies including a case, a memory card, a cleaning kit and some filters.

Canon's most entry-level mirrorless camera is also its smallest and lightest – but it's still quite a beast! Its 24.1MP APS-C can shoot 6.5fps bursts and 4K 24p video, and it comes with a versatile 18-45mm lens (2 8.8-72mm equivalent).  Bonus free accessories.

Go large, and get the EOS R100 with two zooms, rather than one. This kit adds the image-stabilized RF-S 55-210mm f/5-7.1 telephoto for getting in close to the action. PLUS free accessories.
