Best camera deals: Save on DSLR, action cameras, point-and-shoot

By

There are a lot of great camera phones that offer high-quality pictures and video, but if you really want to take your photography to the next level, then you’ll want to grab yourself a self-contained camera. Not only do they have more space for complex hardware, but many cameras have interchangeable lenses, so you can do different types of photography. Luckily, there are a lot of options to pick from, including Mirrorless vs. DSLR, and we’ve collected some of our favorite camera deals below.

That said, if you’d like something a little bit different, check out these drone deals, and for more action cameras, there are these GoPro deals, too.

Best DSLR camera deals

DSLR cameras are bulkier than mirrorless cameras, but they produce high-quality images that will let you capture the most beautiful moments. You’ll be able to see directly through the lens with the mirrored optical viewfinder while composing your shot, and you’ve got your pick among years’ worth of lenses, depending on what kind of pictures you want to take. DSLR camera deals are always in demand because they’re expensive though, so hurry if you want to pocket the savings from the bargains we’ve gathered below.

  • KODAK PIXPRO AZ405-BK (body only) —
  • Canon EOS R100 (body only) —
  • Nikon D7500 (body only) —

Best action camera deals

Action cameras, which were popularized by GoPro, are perfect for adrenaline junkies and outdoor enthusiasts because they’re designed to withstand even the most extreme situations. They also come with long battery lives, stabilization technology, and several kinds of attachments. Action camera deals almost always get sold out quickly though, so don’t waste any more time if you want to shop one of the offers below.

  • AKASO EK7000 SE 4K Waterproof Action Camera —

Best mirrorless camera deals

Compared to DSLR cameras, mirrorless cameras are smaller and lighter, but that doesn’t mean they’re not capable of taking top-quality photos. They’re a newer type of camera, which means there are fewer available lenses for them, but mirrorless cameras make up for that with their travel-friendly designs and rapid shooting speeds. Mirrorless camera deals are growing in popularity, so push through with your purchases while the offers we’ve collected are still online.

  • Canon EOS R100 —
  • Canon EOS R50 —
  • Nikon Z50 Two Lens Kit —
  • Nikon Z 5 Zoom Lens Kit —
  • Canon EOS R5 L Series Zoom Kit —

Best point-and-shoot camera deals

If you don’t want to deal with lenses and attachments, it’s highly recommended that you go for a point-and-shoot camera. They’re relatively simple to use compared to other types of cameras, but you’ll still be taking great pictures with the proper settings and the right composition. Point-and-shoot camera deals range from affordable to expensive, but you shouldn’t pass up on any savings that you can get from the bargains we’ve rounded up.

  • Kodak PIXPRO AZ425-BK —
  • Minolta Pro Shot 20 —
  • Canon PowerShot V10 —
  • Sony ZV-1F Vlog Camera —
  • Sony Alpha ZV-E10 Kit —
