Today's best Prime Day camera deals: save on Sony, Nikon, Canon, and more

Sony Alpha a7 IV: was $2,499.99 now $2,299.99 at Adorama
We rate the Alpha a7 IV as the best mirrorless camera for most people right now - mainly because it's a superb hybrid body that performs for both stills and video. 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.

Sony ZV-1 II: was $899.99 now $798 at Amazon
Sony's all-in one compact camera for vlogging packs a handy 18-50mm F1.8-4 wide angle zoom lens, multi-directional in-camera mics plus Sony's superb autofocus that includes a product showcase mode. In short, this tiny camera is a superb starter for aspiring content creators. The previous generation ZV-1 is also an excellent compact camera that packs many of the same features, only its lens isn't as wide, but it does have image stabilization, and is on sale for just $598 at Amazon.

Sony Alpha a7R V: was $3,898 now $3,498 at Adorama
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.

Sony Alpha a7 III: was $1,798 now $1,498 at Adorama
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 was briefly $1,299 a month or two ago but this is one of the better deals of the year so far.

Nikon Z8: was $3,996 now $3,496.95 at Adorama
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. This deal at Adorama brings the body down to its lowest-ever price with a huge $500 price cut.

Nikon D850 (body only): was $2,996.95 now $2,196.95 at Amazon
Is this the best DSLR ever made? Our D850 review thinks so. Nikon put everything into this one, with 45.7MP sensor that competes with Nikon's best mirrorless cameras today, large ad bright viewfinder plus an excellent autofocus system. It being a Nikon DSLR, of course you get superb battery and a supremely rugged build. This is one of the great all-rounder cameras, with a never before seen $500 off.

Price check: $2,196.95 at Adorama

Nikon Z 7 II: was $2,996 now $1,996.95 at Adorama
The Nikon Z 7II is a great option if you're primarily a stills photographer who can make use of its superb 45.7MP full-frame sensor. The Z7 II is a relatively modest upgrade versus the predecessor but the dual card slots, improved tracking AF, and internal 4K 60fps video make it a much more versatile camera overall. We'd highly recommend this one as a good option for landscape photographers who want a high-resolution sensor in a lightweight body. Check out our Nikon Z7 II review for a full run-down of this model.

Nikon Z6 II: was $1,996 now $1,596.95 at Adorama
The Nikon Z6 II might not be the latest model in the range anymore but it's still a great everyday camera for most users. The original Z6 was already a decent mirrorless flagship but the second iteration brings a second card slot, improved autofocus, and quicker burst shooting modes. While it's now been superseded by a third-gen model, we'd still highly recommend the Z6 II as a capable hybrid camera - especially since today's early deal brings it to within $100 of its lowest-ever price.

Canon EOS R100 twin lens kit: was $829 now $499 at Adorama
Canon's cheapest mirrorless camera, along with two lenses falls under $500 for the first time. The EOS R100 didn't impress us too much at first, but at these prices its an unbeatable starter kit for beginner photographers who will enjoy Canon's excellent image quality and colors. The EOS R100 utilizes a 24.2MP APS-C sensor, the same sensor used in much pricier models. Design is stripped back; the LCD screen is fixed and lacks touch control altogether. But, for a first mirrorless camera, the EOS R100 along with RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 and RF-S 55-210mm f/5-7.1 lenses could just give you the taste for photography.

Canon EOS R5: was $3,399 now $2,899 at Adorama
Canon's best-ever camera for photography is now available for just $2,899 at Adorama and B&H Photo, with Adorama throwing a few useful accessories for no extra cost. With the rebate discount, it's now a full $1,000 cheaper than at launch. For less than $3,000 you get a full-frame sensor with 45MP still pictures, superb autofocus, and one of the best in-body image stabilization performances. It's an all-round pleasure to shoot with. It's also apt for video, being one of the first hybrid cameras to unleash 8K video, while its 4K video (which has frame rates up 120p) is excellent, too.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II: was $2,499 now $1,999 at Adorama
This sub-$2,000 deal for the EOS R6 Mark II is a record-equalling low price for one of the best mirrorless hybrid cameras of last year. 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 with this deal at Adorama. Plus, this particular listing also includes a bunch of accessories, including a spare Canon LP-E6NH battery and Lexar Professional 128GB card. There are further lens bundle deals at Adorama, just $2,299 with the basic 24-105mm F4-7/1 IS STM lens, or it's $3,099 with the pro 24-105mm F4 L IS USM.

Canon EOS R8: was $1,499 now $1,299 at Adorama
Canon's low-cost full-frame RF-mount camera is now even cheaper with $200 off; although we're still $100 away from the record-low price on this model. 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 stablization and sturdier build quality then you can make a decent saving by opting for the smaller and lighter EOS R8.

OM System OM-1 Mark II camera (body): was $2,399 now $1,999.99 at Amazon
First up, here's that deal in full. The OM System OM-1 Mark II has just received its best-ever discount at Amazon with a full $400 saving on this excellent MFT flagship. 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.

OM System OM-5 and 12-45mm f/4.0 Pro lens kit: was $1,599 now $1,299.99 at Adorama
This is quite simply an outstanding deal for the OM-5. Not only do you get a decent price on the body - which generally retails for $999 when it's on sale, but you're also getting one of the best short telephoto lenses available on the Micro Four Thirds system. For travel, landscape, and even street this is a flexible setup that really showcases what this camera is capable of - and it's pretty great value considering you get $300 off the full kit bundle today at Adorama.

Panasonic Lumix S5 II with 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 and 50mm f/1.8 lenses: was $2,747 now $2,247.99 at Adorama
Looking for an all-in-one full-frame kit that covers all the bases? This bundle deal at Adorama will save you a massive $200 on the S5 II and two excellent lenses. 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. This particular bundle has been $100 cheaper in the past but it's still a good buy today.

DJI Action 2 (Dual Screen Combo): was $279 now $179 at Amazon
$100 off: The previous low price of the Action 2 of $250 for the Dual Screen Combo just got obliterated with this big saving of $100. In this bundle you get the camera unit and the snap-on screen, but the magnetic protective case is not included.

Sony Alpha A7 III: was £1,450 now £989 at Amazon
There's a reason Sony still sells the A7 III despite the camera's age - it's a body that still holds up great for 2024. At this price too, the A7 III is a great introductory point into the world of Sony E-mount cameras if you're looking for a capable full frame body for both stills and photos. With a 24MP sensor and excellent autofocus, there's no need to spend a ton if you're simply looking for the basics.

Nikon D780: was £,2299 now £1,388 at Amazon
40% off: If we could recommend one Nikon DSLR for most people, it would be the fantastic D780. It's a versatile all-rounder, combining great image quality, a weather-proof build, superb battery life and modern autofocus skills. You'll miss out on in-body image stabilization by opting for a DSLR over a mirrorless model like the Z6 II, but the D780 is Nikon's most modern camera in this format and is now at a record-equalling low price.

Nikon Z6 II (body): was £1,999 now £1,377 at Amazon
The Nikon Z6 II is settling at new low prices since Nikon launched a successor, the Nikon Z6 III. The latest model was a surprisingly big upgrade from the Z6 II, but the former remains a superb all-rounder and now it's great value to boot. Like the D780, you get a 24.5MP full-frame sensor, but here we get decent in-body image stabilization and modern subject detection autofocus skills. The absolute lowest price we've seen for the Z6 II is £1,303.57, so if you're in no rush it could be worth checking back on this price.

Fujifilm X-S20: was £1,249 now £1,129 at Amazon
It's easy to overlook the X-S20 in favour of Fujifilm's more popular cameras but I think it's easily one of the best value options from the brand. Not only do you get the same 26MP APSC sensor as the other Fuji bodies in its generation, but you also get impressive video features in the form of  6K/30p 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording. It's a little more modern-looking than some bodies from the brand but I personally love the chunkier grip here that allows you to pair it up with whatever lens you desire. Check out our Fujifilm X-S20 review for more details. 

DJI Osmo Action 4: was £379 now £229 at Amazon
The Osmo Action 4 marked a big update from the Action 3, featuring a bigger sensor that delivers improved low-light image quality, best in-class waterproofing down to 18m, convenient magnetic mounting and excellent image stabilization. We would have liked battery life and higher-resolution photos (both addressed in the newer Action 5 Pro), but the Action 4 is still one of the best action cameras available.
