B&H Photo and Adorama have excellent last-minute camera deals this week, including prices that are even lower than Black Friday in some cases.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Thinking about picking up a new camera for Christmas? It's not a bad idea to consider the last-minute sales this week, as several retailers have prices that are good if not better than those from Black Friday.

In fact, this week's deals at Adorama and B&H Photo offer some of the lowest prices I've seen all year on some of our favorite cameras from Canon, Nikon, Sony, and other leading brands.

Check out today's sales at Adorama and B&H Photo

Record-low prices include the Canon R5 Mark II, Nikon Z5 II, and the Sony A7 IV; all are amazing choices at their respective price points. I've rounded up all of today's deals below and pointed out the record-low prices along the way.

In general, camera prices have been a real rollercoaster this year, with the various tariff-induced price hikes. In rare cases, however, some of these cameras are actually even cheaper than they were before the price
adjustments.

As someone who tracks camera prices all year round, I can confidently say these are easily the best batch of deals I've seen for a few months now, so it's definitely a good time to consider picking up a new body. Last-minute camera deals - Canon

Our Canon EOS R5 Mark II review awarded this stunning flagship camera a full five stars out of five and it's easy to see why. Alongside incredible autofocus (easily some of the best we've ever tested), a 45MP full-frame sensor, and a host of new computational features, the EOS R5 Mark II is
easily one of the best cameras on the market right now. Is it overkill for most? Arguably. However, professional photographers will love how this camera makes the most demanding of tasks easy. Today's discount isn't just a tariff-beating deal, but it's also $100 cheaper than the previous record low.

If you're looking to save some cash, you could instead opt for the slightly older Mark I, which is still a stunningly effective pro-grade body. Right
now, it's sitting at $2,599, which makes it significantly cheaper than the second iteration. Sure, you're missing out on the latest computational and cutting-edge autofocus features here, but this camera still has that great 45MP full-frame sensor, 8k video, and excellent in-body image stabilization. Today's discount beats the previous record-low by an impressive $200.

Canon's low-cost full-frame RF-mount camera is now even cheaper with this decent Black Friday price cut. The EOS R8 packs many of the same features as the pricier EOS R6 II, including the 24.2MP sensor and 4K 60p video
recording. We explained the key EOS R8 and EOS R6 Mark II differences so if you can do without in-body image stabilization and sturdier build quality, then you can make a decent saving by opting for the smaller and lighter EOS R8. This is a price we've seen before, but it's technically a record low and doubly impressive considering recent price hikes.

Even cheaper still is the EOS RP: Canon's entry-level full-frame camera and the cheapest new full-frame body you'll find anywhere. As you'd expect, the EOS RP is a pretty stripped-down affair. It doesn't feature the best video specs or image stabilization, for example. It does, however, feature a decent 26.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor, a lightweight build, and good autofocus for a body in this price range. In terms of value, it's still a good choice, especially with today's record-low price.

The EOS R6 Mark II is one of the best mirrorless hybrid cameras of the past few years. Our Canon EOS R6 II review awarded this excellent model an impressive four and half stars out of five, praising its autofocus, ISO handling, and burst shooting so it's an easy recommendation, even if it isn't the latest model anymore. Annoyingly, this one has been $100 cheaper before, but today's discount is actually better than Black Friday, impressively.

The Nikon Z5 II was the recipient of hefty price hikes recently, but right now, you can pick it up for a brand-new record-low price at Adorama and B&H Photo . I loved this model when I reviewed it and it's a fantastic choice if you're looking for a fully-featured full-frame camera that doesn't break the bank. As an entry point to the excellent Z-mount ecosystem, the Z5 II offers fantastic image quality, decent video, and similar autofocus performance to the much pricier high-end Z models.

TechRadar's top camera of 2025, the Nikon Z6 III, is available for a record-low price at several retailers right now. This fantastic mirrorless camera is the latest model from the brand and features an impressive 24.5MP full-frame partially stacked sensor with vastly improved autofocus and 6K video up to 60fps. Our Nikon Z6 III review awarded the camera a full five stars out of five, and it feels like excellent value now, thanks to a massive price cut at B&H Photo and other retailers.

Classic retro style, full frame 24MP sensor, Nikon's best in-body image stabilisation, smart manual focus controls, and a dedicated black and white color mode all for a record-low price. The retro-style camera market is big business and it attracts larger-than-life price tags. However, Nikon's Zf packs a technological punch alongside producing excellent image quality. The record-low for this model is technically $1,799, but today's price is the
best I've seen since the Zf was hit with an annoying tariff price hike a few months ago.

We rate the Nikon Z8 as the best full-frame hybrid camera for pros -
although, of course, anyone with deep pockets will appreciate its superb 45.7MP stacked sensor, 8K video capabilities, and 20fps burst shooting. Our Nikon Z8 review awarded this excellent camera a full five stars out of five, praising its awesome feature set and smaller and lighter body versus the flagship Z9. The record-low for this model is technically $3,299, but again, tariffs have unfortunately shifted the price for this one up a notch in
recent months.

The A7 IV is highly likely to be replaced by a new fifth-generation model soon, but we still absolutely rate it as a fantastic choice for both stills and video work. With an excellent 33MP full-frame sensor and game-changing auto-focus system, it's hard to believe you can get all that goodness for
such a low price. Now is a great time to consider making the switch since
this excellent flagship is currently sitting at its lowest ever price.

The Sony Alpha a7R V is our current top pick for professional stills photographers, although anyone with a penchant for resolution will marvel at its incredible 61MP sensor. While you'll need some high-level glass to truly harness the full resolving power of the A7R V, its handy eight-stop image stabilization and superb tracking autofocus make it a superbly usable camera for landscape, product, or studio work. Today's price at Adorama brings the body right down to its lowest ever price, too.

The Sony Alpha A7 III is an older body now but there's a reason Sony has kept it in production as the 'entry-level' A7 option - it's still a stunning camera. Our Sony Alpha a7 III review awarded this model a full five stars
when we originally tested it and it's an easy recommendation even in 2024.
You miss out on some of the latest bells and whistles, but the A7 III still has great autofocus, uncropped 4K video, and a 24.2MP full-frame sensor
that's more than capable. The body has been $1,299 before, however.

Panasonic's smallest full-frame camera, the Lumix S9, has a genuinely great record-low price right now. Featuring 6K 'open gate' video, Panasonic's excellent real-time LUTs, and impressive image stabilization, the S9 brings
an extremely competitive set of video-focused features for the price. While photographers will be better served with other bodies, the S9 is a great choice for beginner videographers in particular. At this price, it's easily one of the cheapest full-frame cameras on the market.

We've been waiting for the stunning OM System OM-3 to get a decent price cut ever since it was released earlier this year, and here we are. While still pricey, you get the same speedy stacked 20MP Micro Four Thirds sensor as the flagship OM System OM-1 Mark II, intelligent subject-tracking autofocus, and up to 50FPS continuous burst. There's also OM System's Log color profile for video and support for 4K capture at 60FPS. All that is wrapped up in a design that we think stands out as one of the most appealing on the market right now . Today's price cut has only been beaten on one occasion, when the OM3 was
$50 cheaper via a coupon.

This is, so far, the cheapest price yet for a camera we called
'mind-blowingly capable in our OM System OM-1 II review . Key features
include a 20MP BSI Micro Four Thirds sensor with blazingly quick shooting speeds and a host of innovative built-in software features. While the OM-1 II has niche appeal, it's a superb option for adventure, wildlife, and landscape/travel photographers looking to cut a bulky kit bag down to size.

The Panasonic S5 II is easily one of our favorite hybrid flagships right now
- especially because today's discount at Adorama makes it a competitive
choice to the likes of the Nikon Z5 II. Highlight features for the S5 II include a new 24MP full-frame sensor with phase detection AF (a first for Panasonic), uncropped 6K / 30p video, and superb image stabilization. We
were also impressed by the S5 II's rugged build quality and overall well-thought-out ergonomics, which is obviously handy when pairing up with some of the larger lenses available in the L-Mount ecosystem. Check out our Panasonic S5 II review for more details on this excellent camera.
