But some of the best camera deals are already here as of November 9, with major US retailers, including Amazon and B&H, offering significant discounts. So, this would be the best time to buy if you are really interested in getting either the Nikon Z8 or the Canon R5.
The standout remains the Nikon Z8, currently available for $3,196.95 — a drop of more than $1,100 from its typical $4,299.95 list price. That is the lowest price we have seen on this camera in recent tracking and one of the strongest flagship-level deals of the early Black Friday period.
Nikon Z8 – 3,196.95 (Save $1,100)
Nikon said he is one of the strongest hybrid full-frame cameras available as of now, eight packs, a 45 megapixel full frame stand Seema sensor
So technically, you are getting blackout-free shooting at 20 fps, along with an excellent subject-detection mode and very strong autofocus performance. Specifically, if you are a sports or wildlife photographer, the subject tracking of the Nikon Z8 is very similar to that of the flagship Nikon Z9. One of the most important things is that it also offers 8K video recording and 4K video recording at up to 120 frames per second. So, it is essentially a compact Z9 with almost all the features you would expect from a flagship camera at a more affordable price.
At just under $3,200, it undercuts many newer bodies while still delivering flagship performance for wildlife, sports, weddings, and hybrid stills/video work. The body is in stock at Amazon, and B&H, as of November 9. Check the final cart price before ordering, as these early deals can change quickly.
Canon EOS R5 – Around 2,599 (Save $700)
The Canon EOS R5 is a first-generation flagship camera, and right now, we are seeing a good price drop of approximately $700 from its MSRP. You can now pay around $2,599 at major US retailers. So, again, this is one of the best Canon flagship cameras available at this price. If you are a still photographer who wants highly detailed images with a Canon camera and L-series lenses, the EOS R5 is still one of the best choices.
You are getting a 45MP full-frame sensor, excellent Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, strong 8K and 4K video capability, and IBIS. For many photographers who do not need the absolute latest features of the Mark II, this is the smarter buy right now.
Canon EOS R50 V – $799 (Save $150)
If you’re looking for the best entry-level camera deal in 2026, with the year coming to an end, one of the best options right now is the Canon EOS R50 V. For creators and vloggers, the R50 V is priced at $799 (down from $949). It is an APS-C mirrorless built with video in mind, offering 4K60, a built-in fan for longer recording sessions, and a mix of automatic and manual controls.
Should You Buy Now or Wait for Black Friday?
These early deals are already gaining a lot of attention. Real deals or savings that may not get dramatically deeper on November 27. Stock on popular bodies can also tighten as the official Black Friday weekend approaches. If one of these cameras is already on your list, the current pricing is worth acting on rather than gambling on a further drop.
Prices and availability change quickly. Always verify the exact price, seller (preferably Amazon or authorised dealers like B&H and Adorama), return policy, and final total before checkout.
