Black Friday Deals on Camera Gear

Everyone loves a good deal. Black Friday is just around the corner and I decided to feature some amazing Black Friday sales on cameras and other gear that are too good to pass up! It's worth looking into to save (in a lot of cases) hundreds of dollars. If you're shopping around, think first about what you're looking for and watch out for bundles. If they include a lens you know you won't use much, steer clear of that and save your cash for a lens you really want. Another way to save big is by considering purchasing a previous model of a camera body. Remember, if you are starting out, there are a lot of amazing cameras out there and you don't always have to feel pressure to buying the latest and greatest! Let's get to the deals!

DSLR Cameras:

If you're looking at a beginner DSLR camera, this deal on the Nikon D3200 with two lenses is a good buy. You save $480.00 on this bundle, giving you the 18-55mm kit lens and a zoom lens, with the camera body for only $396.95! They basically give you the zoom lens for free. We can't complain about that. 

To get the newer edition of this camera with one lens, the Nikon D3300 with the 18-55 kit lens will be $399.00 on best buy; also a good deal if the newer camera means more to you. 

The Canon EOS Rebel SL1, is on sale for $449.00 (saving $250) and you can even get it in white if that sounds fun to you!

This Nikon D7100 bundle price will drop to $999.00 on Best Buy, which is a great deal saving you $700! This is a great Nikon camera for those looking into a step above the more affordable entry-level DSLRs. 

The Canon Rebel T5 with two lenses will be on sale for $399.99 on Best Buy, saving you $350. 

If you're looking for an awesome full-frame camera or want to upgrade, the Canon 7D Mark II DSLR body is on sale for $1,299.00 ($500 off).

Point & Shoot Cameras:

If a DSLR seems like a burden to carry around and you're looking for more compact camera, consider a point and shoot. This deal saves you $250 on the Sony Alpha a6000. This is an amazing mirrorless camera that has a great sensor (same as most entry-level DSLRs), offers manual modes, allows you to shoot in a RAW format, shoots HD video and has wi-fi sharing. The price is $548.00, and this link will get you a hidden bundle that comes with a bag, a card, two batteries and a charger for the same price as just the camera! The previous model, the Sony Alpha a5000 is also amazing and is on sale for $398.00. My sister has this and she loves it. 

The Canon Powershot ELPH is a lower-priced popular point and shoot, and it's on sale for $159.00. It offers 20.2 megapixels, HD video, and wi-fi sharing. Some reviews say that the image quality from this camera is fine for everyday sharing and social media, but not as great as they hoped for. My advice- always be sure to check the reviews to get a better idea if the product is right or not for you. This seems like an easy buy for the low price but the image quality might be a little lower.  

The Canon Powershot G7 X is a point and shoot that boasts high quality images with its great sensor and fast lens. Save $150 and get this little camera for $549.00. The battery life isn't the greatest, but people seem to love the results when shooting with this one. 

Lenses:

This Nikon macro & portrait lens bundle gets you two lenses for $496, saving you $320! This is a great deal. 

If you shoot Canon and want a telephoto lens that is good for shooting in the outdoors with enough light, or don't mind using a tripod, this Canon EF 75-300mm lens is only $179.00.  

Other Gear:

Get a 32GB SD card for only $14.99! This one ends in two hours on amazon.

Need an external drive for photo and/or video storage? This Western Digital 4TB drive is $40 off for only $119.00 (this is for Mac OSX users).

For the outdoorsy type, this Clik Elite Obscura backpack is bright and fun and is only $69.95, saving you just over $100.
