How to choose a camera on Prime Day

What kind of camera do you need? Are you just happy to take some cool snaps away from your phone? If that’s the case, one of the best digital cameras on our list above will suit you perfectly. Although none of these picks are particularly fancy, it’s always a smart move to read up on how to choose a camera and learn about the different camera types on the market. As with any major purchase, it’s important to keep your budget in mind as well. Photography can be a very expensive hobby if you want it to be, but it can also be more affordable with some smart thinking.

If you’ve figured out you can invest more and you want to be more hands-on with your photography skills, check out the best mirrorless cameras and the best DSLR cameras. Alongside that, it’s a smart move to invest in some great camera lenses as different options give you different ways to take photos.

When shopping these camera sales, you should also keep an eye out for what bundle deals are available. Also, take a look at what lenses are available, as they can seriously spruce up your photography experience. Our best advice for lenses is to give some thought to what you want to take photos of and go from there.

How we chose these camera Prime Day deals

Saving money is more complicated than you might think. After all, big savings aren’t always indicative of a good investment, as it all comes down to the quality of the camera on sale. We make sure that the camera Prime Day deals we recommend are products we’d spend our hard-earned money on, too. Cameras are frequently great investments that continue to be good for many years to come, so you can go for a slightly older model in a sale and still enjoy many benefits. We make sure we know which older models are worth suggesting, but we also know about the latest options.

Alongside that, we prioritize which camera bundle deals are worth your time and which lenses are worth checking out. A good camera is about more than just the main body, so we make sure the full selection works well together and that (of course) it’s the cheapest price around.

And that means the brand deserves a closer look. Here, we found the best deals on Canon cameras and then went a step further and found the best lenses as well so you can have a complete Canon experience, all on the cheap.
