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

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.

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) —
  • Nikon D7500 (body only) —
  • Nikon D7500 with 18-140mm lens —
  • Canon – EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR Camera (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.=

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 Z 5 Zoom Lens Kit —
  • Canon EOS R6 Mark II with RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM Lens —
  • 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.

  • Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 Instant Film Camera —
  • Fujifilm INSTAX MINI 40 —
  • Kodak PIXPRO AZ425-BK —
  • Minolta Pro Shot 20 —
  • Olympus OM SYSTEM TG-7 —
