Many people in our country pursue photography as a profession or hobby. Capturing good pictures requires great skill and, of course, a decent camera. While cameras are readily available in the market, they are often expensive. Hence, Black Friday is the best time to grab one for a lower price and save money. Below are ten Black Friday camera deals customers can expect in 2023 based on last year’s trends.

Mirrorless cameras
1. Sony had some excellent deals on mirrorless cameras last year, with select models selling for half their price. A top pick was the Sony Alpha mirrorless camera. It sold for 47% off at Walmart last Black Friday, along with bundles and accessories. The Sony Alpha a7 and 7 IV cost around $1,754 and $2,224 today, so it’s worth waiting for the sale.

2. At B&H Photo Video, Sony mirrorless cameras, kits, and accessories sold for $510 less last year, with premium models starting at $1,000. Customers can bookmark this website and visit it when the 2023 sale begins, hoping to enjoy similar savings.

3. Nikon is another brand that had fantastic Black Friday deals last year. Customers could save up to $210 on the Nikon Z5. Similarly, the Nikon Z6 cameras, kits, and accessories had a discount of $400. Those who prefer Nikon’s products should follow the brand on social media and sign up for their newsletter, if possible, to learn about their Black Friday announcements for 2023.

4. Last year, there were several deals on Canon’s cameras. For instance, the Canon EOS R10 with the RF-S 18-45mm lens was available at Best Buy for $999 when its original price was $1,099. According to reports, this kit dropped below $1,000 for the first time during last year’s Black Friday sale. Customer reviews suggest the R10 suits all kinds of photography, thanks to its advanced autofocus and high fps rate. Interested buyers may keep an eye out for any such deals in 2023.

Cameras for vlogging
5. The Panasonic Lumix G100 with a 12-32mm lens was available for $497 at Amazon last Black Friday instead of the usual $749 price tag. Experts say this camera is excellent for travel vlogging. Its 4k/30p picture quality and the 5-axis stabilization make videos look smooth and seamless. Moreover, the built-in microphone can easily pick up background audio, a monologue, or a script being read or recited. The 12-32mm lens is wide-angle, making it easy for video bloggers to shoot for YouTube, Vimeo, or digital marketing purposes.

6. Amazon also had the Panasonic Luix GH5 Mark II on sale last Black Friday. The original price of this model was $1,699, but it sold for $1,398 after a discount. According to reviewers, this is among the best YouTube cameras a vlogger can buy.

Action cameras
7. An action camera is essential for capturing adventurous holidays or activities. GoPro is one of the most popular brands for such cameras. While they had a sitewide 15% off for Black Friday last year, the HERO11 Black was one product that grabbed a lot of attention. Customers enjoyed a discount of $150 on this model when they purchased a one-year GoPro Subscription. One could also save $200 in value savings on the HERO11 Black plus Accessories Bundle when purchased with a year’s subscription.

8. Besides the brand’s official website, several stores had Black Friday deals on the GoPro. For instance, Target sold the GoPro Hero8 Black for $229 (down from $299). It boasts attractive features like 4K/60p picture quality and HyperSmooth stabilization. Customers eyeing these features should head to Target when the sale begins, hoping this deal will return.

DSLR cameras
9. At B&H Photo Video, shoppers could save up to $500 on Nikon D580 DSLR cameras. This model has a 45.7MP BSI CMOS sensor and a proven EXPEED 5 image processor, providing high-quality photos. It’s good for low-light shooting, time-lapse recording, and other creative photography.

10. B&H Photo Video also helped one save $100 on Nikon’s D780 camera body and kits. This one has a 24MP BSI CMOS sensor and a responsive autofocus. Users say the D780 could be a backup camera for capturing action-filled activities.

Many types of cameras are available today, such as DSLRs, SLRs, mirrorless, and digital cameras. Therefore, it’s essential to research well and pick a product after assessing one’s needs.
