![]() Much like a second-hand car’s mileage, it’s also a good idea to check the camera’s shutter count or ‘actuations’. One of the main things to be wary of are grey imports or ‘import models’ – this Canon EOS 6D Mark II from Walmart, for example, is described as the latter, so doesn’t come with the full manufacturer warranty for repairs. Second-hand stealsįor an in-depth read on how to negotiate the used market, check out our separate guide on how to buy a used DSLR or mirrorless camera. A quick look at these shows the impressive full-frame value that’s available right now. The growing popularity of second-hand cameras is something of a mixed blessing – increased competition means prices have been kept fairly buoyant, but greater choice has led to the growth of reputable marketplaces in both the US and UK. Still, when it comes to both DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, the real value is to be found in the burgeoning used market. There’s even better value to be had in the UK, where you can order a new EOS 6D Mark II for just £874 from Amazon, albeit on backorder. The Canon EOS 6D Mark II, for example, is available body-only for $1,399 from B&H Photo Video – not bad considering that it cost $2,000 when it launched in 2017, and remains Canon’s only full-frame DSLR with an articulating screen. What if you prefer DSLRs? These are now harder to find new, but there are still good full-frame options that offer similar value to their mirrorless successors in both the US and UK. It may be four years old, but the A7 III has a proven sensor, offers 10fps burst shooting, is complemented by a great range of lenses, and was still receiving firmware updates last year that have delivered features like real-time Eye AF for animals. We also recently saw the Sony A7 III, which remains a great camera despite the arrival of the new Sony A7 IV, effectively drop down to £1,276 with an Amazon voucher. Over in the UK, the Nikon Z5 is similarly down to a record-low £999 at Amazon or you can pick it up in a bundle with the 24-50mm kit lens for only £1,199. The Z5 is also a newer camera than the Canon EOS RP, which is now down to $999 / £1,049. That’s not cheap, but it is more affordable than some APS-C cameras like the Fujifilm X-T5, and Sony still has the widest range of full-frame lenses. If you need a small, travel-friendly body, then the relatively new Sony A7C has retained its Black Friday price of $1,598. ![]() In the US, you can pick up a Nikon Z5 for $996, its lowest-ever price and something of a bargain if you’re mainly a photographer (rather than a videographer). ![]() Let’s start with the best post-Black Friday deals, for those who are looking to buy new. Some popular models, like the Canon EOS R6, will continue to command high price tags because the rate of innovation in new models has inevitably hit a ceiling.īut it’s also fair to say that we’ve rarely seen the sheer variety of full-frame bargains that we have right now. Unfortunately, the arrival of new full-frame cameras doesn’t always result in an immediate price slash for their predecessors.
