The best cameras for photos and video
No matter your experience level or goals, the best cameras will help you create stunning images and videos.
Prime Day camera deals
Whether you are looking for an action camera or a mirrorless camera, there are a few great camera deals for Prime Day.
Canon EOS R5
The Canon EOS R5 delivers both stunning images and video with its 45-megapixel full-frame sensor and 8K video capabilities. But the true reason to go with the R5 is the excellent autofocus performance that makes soft shots a rarity.
Nikon Z7 II
Sitting between the Z6 and Z9 series, the Nikon Z7 II delivers the best balance between quality, performance, and price. The camera offers a 45-megapixel resolution with two processors for better speed.
GoPro Hero 12 Black
The GoPro Hero 12 Black is one of the best action cameras on the market – but it’s also a great option for anyone looking for something that can take great video with little know-how. It’s currently discounted for Prime Day.
Panasonic Lumix S5 IIX
While Amazon hasn’t discounted the Panasonic S5 II as steeply as the S5, if you want the latest version, you can still save $300 on this early deal.
Sony a7 III
While the Sony a7 III has since been replaced with the a7 IV, the a7 III still offers a stellar value for the list of features. The camera captures 24.2 megapixel stills on a full-frame sensor at up to 10 frames per second. The camera is lauded for its excellent autofocus performance, plus Sony offers an excellent range of tack-sharp lenses to pair with the body.
Sony ZV-1F
The Sony ZV-E1 is a compact camera designed specifically for vlogging. The camera uses a one-inch sensor and an f2 lens. Paired with eye-AF and stabilization, the ZV-E1 captures excellent video even in the hands of beginners.
Canon EOS R100
The Canon EOS R100 is a beginner-friendly mirrorless camera. Despite being one of Canon’s more affordable options, it still sports a 24-megapixel APS-C sensor and subject detection autofocus. The R100 is also compact and lightweight. This kit comes with a lens and is $100 off for Prime Day.
Polaroid Now+ Gen 2 Instant Camera
The Polaroid Now+ Gen 2 captures the classic square instant film, but features a modern Bluetooth connection for smartphone operation with manual controls. Another modern perk? A USB-C rechargeable battery. This kit includes both the camera and enough film for 16 photos.
Prime Day drone deals
Withpotential legislation making the future of DJI drones in the US uncertain, if you want one, now might be the only time to pick one up. The current legislation wouldn’t prevent previously purchased drones from flying, though that could change in the future.
DJI Mini 3
The DJI Mini 3 is a slightly older model, but for under $400, it’s a great buy. The drone is easy for beginners to jump into, while it still packs in 4K quality at this price point.
The DJI Air 3 is a step above the company’s Mini series. Despite being easy enough for beginners, the drone features 48-megapixel photos, 4K 60 fps video, a secondary camera, and a longer 48-minute flight time. A rare deal puts this drone under $1,000, while the kit with extra batteries is also 20 percent off.
DJI Mini 4K
DJI’s most affordable current model drone is even more affordable on Prime Day. While the Mini 4K has a smaller camera sensor and fewer features than the DJI Mini 4 Pro, it’s a beginner-friendly drone with a low price tag.
Autel Robotics EVO Lite+
With a one-inch camera sensor, the Autel Robotics EVO Lite+ is a capable drone for the price. Unlike DJI, there’s no geofencing built-in and the bright orange color makes it easier to keep a line of sight on the quadcopter. This kit with extra batteries and propellers is on sale for Prime Day.
Prime Day camera accessory deals
Essential accessories like SD cards aren’t excluded from Prime Day deals, though a majority of the list has third-party brands that are reasonably priced to begin with. You can find some gems among the sales though, including deals on SD cards and a photo printer.
Lexar Professional 1066x 128GB SD Card
Lexar’s Professional series is a high-speed UHS-I SD card designed for high-resolution stills and video. This deal makes speed more accessible.
Fujifilm Instax Mini Link 2
While it’s only discounted by a small amount, the Fujifilm Instax Mini Link 2 is an incredibly useful tool that allows you to print any digital photo on instant film. Use it to print your smartphone photos, or even your mirrorless camera photos.
Smallrig CT-10 Camera Tripod
The Smallrig CT-10 is both a tripod and a monopod in one. The tripod comes with a ball head and is capable of handling gear up to 33 pounds. It also comes with an adapter to use the tripod with a smartphone.
SanDisk Extreme Pro SD card
A card fast enough for 4K video, the SanDisk Extreme Pro is a reliable SD card. Prime Day Sales bring the card to 49 percent off.
Lexar PLAY microSDXC UHS-I Micro SD Memory Card
With a whopping 1 TB of storage, this microSD can store a lot of 4K footage from your GoPro or drone. It’s also suitable for Nintendo Switch and Android phones. With Prime Day, that massive amount of storage becomes much more accessible.
Q: Can I buy a Prime Day camera deal without a Prime Membership?
Prime Day deals are designed for Prime Members only. However, if you are not a Prime member, there are still some options. Some customers are eligible for a free 30-day trial of Prime. Another option is to look at competing stores, which sometimes offer price matching or drop their prices to the same level.
