Black Friday 2019: The 17 Best Camera and Photography Deals (From Nikon to GoPro)
We dove deep into Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts to find the best sales on cameras, lenses, drones, and related…
Canon EOS 6D Mark II for $1,199 ($400 off)
B&H Photo (with accessories), Amazon
Canon’s long-awaited sequel to the 6D brings a much better 45-point autofocus system, a larger 26-megapixel sensor, and an articulating touchscreen. The 6D continues to be a great choice for the “prosumer”—someone who wants a great Canon but doesn’t need the pro-oriented features of the more expensive 5D Mark IV, which is also on sale at $3,500 ($600 off).
Nikon D750 DSLR Camera With Accessories for $1,197 ($500 off)
B&H Photo (with accessories), Amazon
Is it still worth buying this five-year-old camera? At this price? Definitely. It’s capable of turning out fantastic images, the low-light performance is excellent, and the autofocus, while not on par with the current top of the line, is very good. The D750 is a great way to hop on the full-frame Nikon train.
Sony Alpha A6000 Mirrorless Cam with 16-50mm Lens and Accessories for $448 ($200 off)
B&H Photo, Amazon (no accessories)
Sony’s A6000 was an underrated gem of a camera when it was first released, and even now, a couple years on, it’s still a great option. It’s light, compact, and delivers fantastic images. At this price you’re getting a quality APS-C interchangeable lens system for the cost of a point-and-shoot. If you’re not interested in the kit lens (and unlike the kit lens for the A7 II above, this one is just so-so), you can get the A6000 body alone for $398 ($150 off).
Compact and Action Cam Deals

We recently overhauled our guides to the best compact cameras and best action cameras. Check them out to learn more.
Panasonic Lumix ZS100 for $398 ($300 off)
If you want telephoto reach in a compact package, Panasonic’s Lumix ZS100 delivers. Rather than the 3X or 4X optical zoom found in most competitors, this camera has a lens with 10X. The camera’s 1-inch sensor is on par with some of the best compact cameras. Standard 4K video and Wi-Fi, along with a great touchscreen interface, make this camera feature-full and easy-to-use.
Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II for $399 ($80 off)
This little Canon hits the sweet spot for price, features, and image quality (8/10 WIRED Recommends). It’s compact, the tilting touchscreen is a standout feature in this class, and the autofocus is surprisingly speedy.
Olympus Tough TG-6 Waterproof Camera for $349 ($100 off)
The Olympus TG-6 is a tough little camera that soars where smartphones crash (8/10 WIRED Recommends). It offers excellent image quality for a small camera (complete with support for RAW images), and it’s nearly indestructible. If you want a camera that’s a GoPro-style, go-anywhere machine but retains the lens and sensor quality of a point-and-shoot, the TG-6 is your best bet. The only thing I don’t like about it is the inscrutable menu system. Spend some time with the manual, and make sure you learn all the TG-6’s tricks.
