Visitors get to grip with a Nikon camera at the Nikon stand at the Photokina trade fair in Cologne, western Germany on September 27, 2018.PATRIK STOLLARZ—AFP/Getty Images  by [Alex Fitzpatrick](/author/alex-fitzpatrick/)  ## Alex Fitzpatrick Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Nov 21, 2018 12:00 PM CUT Black Friday is just around the corner, and for the photographically-inclined, it can be a great time to score a new camera or lens for cheap — or cheap_er_, anyway. Retailers like B&H Photo, Adorama, Best Buy and Target have all shared some of their Black Friday camera deals already. Here’s a look at some standout offerings, separated out by brand. We’ll be adding to this as new deals are revealed. ## Canon * B&H Photo is offering the [5D Mark IV body](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1274705-REG/canon%5Feos%5F5d%5Fmark%5Fiv.html "undefined"), plus included battery grip, for $2,799; that’s a savings of $500. * Canon’s full-frame [EOS 6D Mark II](https://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/eos-6d-mark-ii-ef-24-105mm-f-4l-is-ii-usm-kit "undefined"), combined with a 24-105mm f/4L II lens, is $2,199 on the company’s website; that’s $700 off for the combo. * For something more entry-level, Canon’s offering the [Rebel T7 and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II](https://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/eos-rebel-t7-ef-s-18-55mm-f35-56-is-ii "undefined"), plus extra bundled goodies, for $549. * Looking for a killer portrait lens? The [Canon 85mm f/1.2L II](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/423691-USA/Canon%5F1056B002AA%5FEF%5F85mm%5Ff%5F1%5F2L%5FII.html "undefined") is $1,899 at B&H. * Or maybe it’s time for your first prime? Then there’s the [35mm f/2 IS](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/898726-USA/Canon%5F5178b002%5FEF%5F35mm%5Ff%5F2%5F0%5FIS.html "undefined") for $549. ## Nikon * Nikon’s offering nearly $1,000 off the [D750](https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/dslr-cameras/1543/d750.html?cid=img%5Fen%5Fus:SEM:EC:ELVT:Ongoing:Google:P:Nat%5FSearch%5FBranded:D750:na:Exact&gclid=Cj0KCQiA28nfBRCDARIsANc5BFDkUsfqJQB4QiVC1ZtCHclhsGlW5h6jvglGzQzuBeswopeAt19bY0saAgHMEALw%5FwcB&gclsrc=aw.ds "undefined") body, selling it for $1,339. * Or, if you need some Nikon glass to go with that outstanding camera, you can get it bundled with a [24-150mm f/4](https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/dslr-cameras/1549/d750.html?cid=img%5Fen%5Fus:SEM:EC:ELVT:Ongoing:Google:P:Nat%5FSearch%5FBranded:D750:na:Exact&gclid=Cj0KCQiA28nfBRCDARIsANc5BFDkUsfqJQB4QiVC1ZtCHclhsGlW5h6jvglGzQzuBeswopeAt19bY0saAgHMEALw%5FwcB&gclsrc=aw.ds "undefined") for $1,539. * On the lower end, there’s a [D3500 double lens kit for $499](https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/dslr-cameras/1588/d3500.html "undefined"); it comes with a beginner-friendly 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 and 70-300 f/4.5-6.3 telephoto. * Looking for a super telephoto lens for capturing sports or birds-in-flight? There’s the mighty [200-500mm f/5.6](https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/camera-lenses/20058/af-s-nikkor-200-500mm-f%252f5.6e-ed-vr.html "undefined") for $1,199, down from $1,399. * How about a no-frills but totally enjoyable small prime? Nikon’s [50mm f/1.8](https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/camera-lenses/2199/af-s-nikkor-50mm-f%252f1.8g.html "undefined") is $179, a savings of $40. ## Sony * Looking for an affordable and excellent mirrorless camera? [Sony’s A6000](https://www.adorama.com/isoa6000k3.html?utm%5Fmedium=Affiliate&utm%5Fsource=rflaid61856 "undefined"), which is a little outdated but still wonderful, is on sale for $598 at Adorama; it comes with a regular zoom and a telephoto. * Outgrown your current Sony body and eager to make a big upgrade? The mighty [Sony A9](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1377611-REG/sony%5Falpha%5Fa9%5Fmirrorless%5Fdigital.html "undefined"), body only, is up for grabs at $3,498. * Something equally impressive but a bit cheaper: The [Sony A7r III](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1369441-REG/sony%5Filce7rm2%5Fb%5Falpha%5Fa7r%5Fiii%5Fmirrorless.html "undefined"), which is on offer for $2,798. * One of the best cameras Sony’s ever made, the small-but-awesome [RX100 VA](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1421536-REG/sony%5Fdsc%5Frx100m5a%5Fdsc%5Frx100%5Fva%5Fdigital%5Fcamera.html "undefined"), is $898, saving you $100 on a true gem. ## Fujifilm * Fujifilm’s excellent X-T3 is just out and probably won’t see any major discounts. The good news here is that the camera it replaced, the [Fuji X-T2](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I3LNMAM/ref=as%5Fli%5Fqf%5Fasin%5Fil%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=time037-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01I3LNMAM&linkId=c8211796824cd49c1b6fb9d6aeda5965 "undefined"), is still wonderful and getting discounted all over the place; most retailers have it for $1,099 body-only. * [The X-Pro2](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A8DUR74/ref=as%5Fli%5Fqf%5Fasin%5Fil%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=bestinventions2018-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01A8DUR74&linkId=053aff2b777b07821f7cdda4737b05a2 "undefined"), a favorite among street photographers, is also discounted. But it hasn’t been replaced yet, so the savings aren’t as substantial — $200 off, in most cases, for a total of $1,449. * Most of Fuji’s lenses are discounted from $50-150\. The company’s newest f/2 primes — the [23](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KNXOCO8/ref=as%5Fli%5Fqf%5Fasin%5Fil%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=time037-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01KNXOCO8&linkId=3bed233c43f9d0b4c421f316e0c4385b "undefined"), [35](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016S28I4S/ref=as%5Fli%5Fqf%5Fasin%5Fil%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=time037-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B016S28I4S&linkId=ae64e6837c0bcc80038b51e77c89a1ea "undefined") and [50](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MS6WINK/ref=as%5Fli%5Fqf%5Fasin%5Fil%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=time037-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01MS6WINK&linkId=36af0a581aa086098f92d1ece2770386 "undefined") — are small, sharp and altogether a joy to use. ## Other Deals * For better or worse, camera software makers like Adobe are increasingly moving to subscription models. If you haven’t made the leap yet, Black Friday is a great time to do so — B&H has a [yearlong subscription to the entire Adobe Suite](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1392534-REG/adobe%5F65291319%5Fcreative%5Fcloud%5Fmembership%5Ffull.html "undefined") for $150 off; that includes Photoshop and Lightroom but also other useful tools like Premiere Pro and After Effects for videographers. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5458763/black-friday-camera-deals/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5458763/black-friday-camera-deals/"},"headline":"The Best Black Friday Camera Deals We've Seen So Far","datePublished":"2018-11-21T12:00:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:51:53.808Z","description":"It's a great time of the year to get a new camera","url":"https://time.com/5458763/black-friday-camera-deals/","keywords":["Tech","Gadgets","onetime","Holidays 2018"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte9aafee07aba85be/69893f6ee76ad273496338af/black-friday-camera-deals.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alex Fitzpatrick","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alex-fitzpatrick/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte9aafee07aba85be/69893f6ee76ad273496338af/black-friday-camera-deals.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Black Friday Camera Deals","caption":"Black Friday Camera Deals","creditText":"PATRIK STOLLARZ—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5458763/black-friday-camera-deals/","name":"The Best Black Friday Camera Deals We've Seen So Far"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"2018's Black Friday Deals","description":"2018's Black Friday Deals","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/yGvoa3PI/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-11-20T16:37:42.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/yGvoa3PI.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5458763/black-friday-camera-deals/","duration":"PT1M51S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5458763/black-friday-camera-deals/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
