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.

Best camera deals: Save on DSLR, action cameras, point-and-shoot
Best DSLR cameras for beginners Canon Rebel T7i

While camera phones tend to do a great job of taking pictures, if you really want to take your photography to the next level, then one of the best things you can do is go for a standalone camera body with a lens or a point-and-click type camera. Not only do they have larger sensors to take a picture on, but the interchangeable lenses means you have better optical zoom and more control over it, so there's a lot of freedom to play around and find something that works best for your style. The downside is that cameras and lenses can be really expensive, which is why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite camera deals below, although you should probably check our guide on Mirrorless vs. DSLR before going through with a camera purchase.

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.

Canon’s smallest EOS R camera just got a $200 discount
Canon EOS R100 mirrorless camera with lens attached

Target is an excellent source of camera deals. Just last week it had a $300 discount on the Fujifilm X-T50 mirrorless digital camera bundle, and today it has an amazing offer for the Canon EOS R100. From its original price of $600, the mirrorless camera is down to a more affordable $400, for $200 in savings. We're not sure how long you have to take advantage of this offer though, so if you're interested in making this purchase, you should probably complete the transaction right now if you want to enjoy the 33% discount.

Why you should buy the Canon EOS R100 mirrorless camera
The Canon EOS R100 is the smallest model in the brand's EOS R series of mirrorless cameras, which makes it a perfect choice for rookie photographers. Unlike a DSLR camera, which uses a mirror for their optical viewfinder, a mirrorless camera uses an imaging sensor for a digital preview of the picture that you're planning to take. The lack of the mirror makes mirrorless cameras much smaller than DSLR cameras, and that's very apparent with the Canon EOS R100, as it only measures about 6.1 inches by 7.9 inches by 7.6 inches, and it weights just about 2 pounds.
