The start of the holiday shopping season is upon us, with Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals kicking off. In years past, deals on photography-related equipment, especially cameras and lenses, were rather lackluster. This year, however, actually brings some significant savings even on big-ticket items. We’ve combed discounts to highlight deals that we’d actually recommend.
This isn’t an exhaustive list by any means. Feel free to share your favorite deals in our forum post as well so that others don’t miss them!

Our DPREVIEW Tribute:
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview closed on 10 April 2023. This difficult decision was part of the annual operating plan review that parent company, Amazon, shared earlier this year.
Over the course of 25 years, DP Review built up a reputation as being one of the most informative places to go for information about that new camera or lens you’re after. DP Review began as an independent reviews site based in the UK in 1998, the brainchild of Philip and Joanna Askey, but it was eventually purchased by Amazon in 2007 and relocated over to Seattle in the USA in 2010.
Cheers DPReview – thanks for the great work and content that guided photographers, videographers and techno junkies the world over!
