How to get Lightroom 5 for cheap

Followers of my blog already know that I got lucky once and won a Samsung NX300 camera, which came with Lightroom 4.

Higher end Samsung cameras seem to come with Lightroom included. Presently, it seems some retailers try to clean out the stock of NX minis. The NX mini actually comes with a Lightroom 5 license.

The NX mini is a really nice camera anyway, in particular with the 9mm prime lens.
The zoom lens seems good too, however, it makes the camera less pocket-able.
The 17mm f/1.8 portrait lens looks very interesting too. Although, 17mm, equivalent to 45mm on 135 film, does not seem to be portrait lens, but rather a "standard", for a pretty steep price.

Anyway, presently, one can obtain a very small camera, that can shoot RAW, with a Lightroom 5 licence, for a pretty low price.
