Cameras
Updated Nov 26
Back in April, Nikon released their latest and greatest mirrorless, the Nikon Z5 II which Digital Camera World called a “brilliant full-frame mirrorless with a bargain price tag“, and it’s already on discount for $1,596. Fujifilm debuted one of their best cameras yet, the X-E5, and although we haven’t seen any deals (yet), their X-T5 is on sale for a cool $1,998.00. In the world of Sony, their A7 IV is 26% off at Amazon ($1,998, regular $2,698). And for Canon, EOS R6 Mark II Mirrorless is $300 off.

This brings the Z8 back to its lowest price ever — effectively Z9 performance without the Z9 price. - Nikon Z5 II Body – $1,596.95 (regular $1,849.95)
Already was a great deal when it was released in April, 2025 — now even better for an entry-level full-frame body. - Sony a7R V Body – $3,298.00 (regular $4,198.00)
One of Sony’s best high-resolution cameras sees a rare $900 drop — fantastic for detail-focused shooters. - Sony a7 IV Body – $1,998.00 (regular $2,698.00)

A modest discount, but on one of Fuji’s most-loved stills cameras with a huge ecosystem of lenses. - Panasonic Lumix S9 with 28-200mm f4-7.1 lens – $1,497.99 (regular $2,250.88)
A huge savings bundle that makes the compact S9 one of the most cost-effective full-frame travel kits right now. - OM System OM-3 – $1,799 (regular $1,999)
A solid price drop for a newly released body, especially appealing for wildlife and macro shooters who rely on Micro Four Thirds.
