Black Friday means savings on cameras for content creation, travel photography and more. This year is no exception as all the major manufacturers, including Sony, Canon, DJI, Nikon, GoPro, Fujifilm and Nikon have some stellar deals. Sony is offering its latest compact vlogging camera, the ZV-1F<\/a>, at just $398 ($100 off), while Canon’s new EOS R100<\/a> mirrorless APS-C camera is available with a kit lens for just $449. Panasonic has its full frame Lumix S5 on sale for $1,298<\/a> (38 percent off), DJI’s Avata Pro-View combo<\/a> is $999 (30 percent off) and GoPro’s Hero 11<\/a> is down to $300, for a savings of 14 percent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

Sony’s ZV-1F<\/a> is its third and most affordable vlogging camera, designed for creators as a “step up” from smartphones. It does that job well thanks to a lightweight body, built-in high-quality microphone, flip-out display, best-in-class autofocus and excellent image quality. The 20mm fixed lens makes it better for vlogging than the ZV1 with a 24-70mm, but the lack of a zoom is its biggest drawback.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Canon’s 24.2-megapixel R100<\/a> gives buyers the benefit of a mirrorless camera, namely the ability to change lenses. It also offers features like 4K 24p video, decently fast 6.5 fps shooting speeds with autofocus, excellent image quality and more. The main issue is the lack of a flip-out display, so it’s not an ideal vlogging camera. It normally costs $600 with a 16-50mm lens, but you can now pick one up for $450, making it the cheapest APS-C mirrorless camera by a good margin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

we gave the Hero 11 Black a largely positive review<\/a> when it launched<\/a> in September. The camera is an iterative upgrade over the excellent Hero 10 Black<\/a>, meaning it still allows for crisp video at up to 5.3K\/60 Hz, 4K\/120 Hz, or 2.7K\/240 Hz (for extra slow-motion shots), excellent stabilization that keeps moving footage looking smooth, and a rugged, waterproof design that’s small enough to fit on a helmet, bike handle, surfboard, or most other tight spots.<\/p>\n

\n

With the arrival of the Lumix S5 II, Panasonic is offering some stellar deals on its predecessor, the S5<\/a>. It\u2019s smaller and costs less than the Lumix S1, but it actually delivers better video features. That includes a flip-out display, five-axis in-body stabilization and 10-bit 4K recording at up to 60 fps. The autofocus is faster and more accurate than the S1, but not as good as Sony and Canon\u2019s systems for video. Still, at this price, it’s one of the best cameras currently available for content creators.<\/p>\n

\n

The Avata is a solid little drone that produces decent-quality 4K 60p log footage. Its biggest advantage over other drones is the speed and maneuverability, along with the propeller guards that let you operate the drone around people. It does have some weird flaws and limitations \u2014 the Googles 2 aren\u2019t ideal if you wear glasses, plus the motion controller isn\u2019t ideal for precise FPV flying. Still, there aren\u2019t many other ready-to-fly drones that can do what it does.<\/p>\n

\n

Nikon’s Z6 II improves the original with faster speeds, improved eye-detect autofocus and more. You can shoot 4K at up to 60 fps, and grab photos at up to 14 fps. It also offers features like a flip screen, 3.69-million dot EVF and more. It’s normally $1,997, but you can save $400 with Amazon’s current deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

Other notable camera and accessory Black Friday deals<\/h2>\n

Those products are just a smattering of what’s available, but there are others as well. Panasonic also has its brand new S5 II mirrorless camera<\/a> \u2014 its first with phase-detect autofocus \u2014 on sale for $1,698 for a savings of $300 (15 percent).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sony also has its new A7 IV camera<\/a> on sale for $2,298, saving you $200 off the list price, while the A7 III is marked down to $1,498<\/a> ($502 off) \u2014 the best price we’ve ever seen on this model. It’s also got deals on a large number of lenses \u2014 to see more, check out its Amazon camera store<\/a>. Meanwhile, if you’re looking for the latest Panasonic cameras in a bundle, the company has a few solid deals<\/a>, and Nikon has multiple bundles<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

There are some notable deals on accessories, too. Lexar’s V60 II memory cards (250MB\/s read and 120MB\/s write) are up to 35 percent off, with a pair of the the 128GB models priced at just $65 <\/a>and the 256GB model in a two-pack at $105<\/a>. If you need faster V90 cards, PNY’s 128GB EliteX-Pro90 Class is marked down $20 to $75<\/a>, while the 64GB cards<\/a> are just $48 (20 percent off). MicroSD cards for drones or action cameras are also on sale, including SanDisk’s Extreme 512GB model<\/a> for $32 (or 71 percent off). More camera deals could arrive later, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n
