Black Friday camera deals — what to expect in 2021
Black Friday cameras deals are a mainstay of the holidays, with many models seeing hefty discounts. Kit deals, in particular, are well worth looking out for — you'll often see packages with one or two lenses bundled in, plus accessories such as bags and SD cards, for a super-low price.
The biggest savings are usually to be found at the top end; last year, we saw an incredible $2,400 off the Canon EOS 5DS and $800 off the Sony a7R II. That's good news if you're looking to buy a high-resolution full-frame DSLR or mirrorless camera, particularly if you don't mind a model that's a year or two out of date.
In fact, that's our first bit of advice: don't only look for deals on the newest products. Camera tech doesn't change as quickly as, say, smartphones, and a full-frame camera from a few years back will still take amazing photos. Indeed, we have plenty of deals on older models in Sony's A7 range above.
If you'd prefer a mid-range shooter with an APS-C or micro four thirds sensor, look out for the deals on Olympus' OMD EM-1, EM-5 or EM-10 mirrorless cams, Nikon's Z5, or Fujifilm's X-T3 (all above). The X-T3, for example, has been superseded by the X-T4, but it remains a superb mid-range camera with wonderful handling and a beautiful colors.
At the cheaper end of the scale, we saw a lot of deals last year on instant cameras, while if action is more your thing then you'll be interested in the deals we've found on the GoPro Hero10 Black.
And of course the best Black Friday camera deals also offer the perfect opportunity to pick up some new lenses or accessories. There's certainly no better time to buy an SD card — and though it might not be the most exciting purchase, it's something all photographers need.
