Black Friday 2025 sales in Australia: the best early camera deals to check out ahead of November 28

The GoPro Hero13 Black delivers high-end video quality in an incredibly small action camera. This is the camera to buy if you want top-notch video with the option to expand with wide angle and macro lens mods.

While only the black colour variant gets this 20% discount, it was AU$469 last month. So if you're tempted by this camera, consider waiting for the price to drop further. Still, it's a great option for new content creators on a tight budget, and its little kickstand makes it perfect for different angles. Note, however, it struggles a little in low light.

Featuring an 18MP 1/2.3-inch sensor, a USB-C port for charging and a 2,360K-dot OLED EVF that's better than before, and an upgraded rear LCD with 1,840K dots resolution, this is a good bridge camera. You also get 60x optical zoom via its 20-200mm fixed lens, with the handling of a DSLR and the simplicity of use of a point-and-shoot. I expect this price to drop further soon, so it would be great if you can hold off a bit.

The R100 is Canon's most affordable RF-mount camera and this discount matches the Prime Big Deal Days price from October. It's a very basic entry-level camera, which misses out on an articulating rear screen, but it has everything else a new photographer would need. 4K/24p video (cropped), good autofocus performance and an excellent 24.1MP sensor will help you hone your skills.

Also called the Fujifilm X Half, this film camera-inspired digital version is doing to photography what vinyl did to music. Not only did it become a bestseller soon after it launched this year, it won awards too. If you've been keen on film photography but don't have the cashflow to keep buying film rolls, the Charcoal colour variant is cheapest on Amazon right now, although the other three colours also get a price cut, just not as good.

This silver edition of this lovely MFT camera was AU$50 cheaper on Amazon in October, but this is still a good price on the black kit. This portable and powerful camera has a 20MP sensor that's stabilised, excellent autofocus, and boasts a flip-down monitor. It would be an excellent entry-level travel camera. Plus, there's no lack of lenses, with any MFT optic from any brand fitting the body, although you get a kit lens in the box here to get you started.

This is closer to a AU$280 discount than the small AU$59.93 as shown on Amazon as the street price of this kit is AU$1,399. This entry-level Canon is quite impressive – it pairs a 24.2MP sensor with the powerful Digic X processor and uses Canon's trusty Dual Pixel CMOS AF II technology for fast and reliable autofocus. 4K/30p uncropped video is on board, and burst speed tops out at 15fps. The flip-out touchscreen and compact RF-S lens make it ideal for vlogging and hybrid shooting.

It was AU$1,049 during October's Prime Day sale, so I would recommend you hold off a little but it's still a fab compact camera to get at this price. Launched in February this year, it features a larger-than-standard 22.3MP 1.4-inch sensor that boasts Canon's trusty Dual Pixel CMOS II autofocus with face and eye detection for humans, cats and dogs. It also has an integrated fan and plenty of grunt under the hood.

In March this year, Canon released a camera no one was expecting, but the R50 V is the video edition of the affordable EOS R50 entry-level camera. And in our R50 vs R50 V showdown, it came up trumps as the better camera! Go figure! So if you're after an affordable video shooter, here's a small discount to consider on a single-lens kit.

Finally giving its rangefinder cameras better ergonomics, Fujifilm has done really well with the X-E5. And that's not the only new design feature here – a discreet Film Simulation dial and new front lever go a long way in making this rangefinder unique. Expect image quality to rival the X100VI. It's not cheap, but discounts help. On Amazon, the black body is cheaper by AU$40, but the silver variant is discounted too via the same listing.

The Nikon Z6 III is a versatile full-frame mirrorless camera that delivers superb image quality, lightning-fast autofocus, and impressive 6K video recording – making it ideal for both photographers and hybrid creators. Note, however, that this offer is being shipped and sold by a third-party reseller on Amazon and may not be Australian stock.

It's not a huge discount but I can't help but list this workhorse here for professional content creators. The Panasonic Lumix S1RII is a 44.3MP full-frame powerhouse that blends exquisite detail with confident Phase Hybrid AF and robust, shoot-all-day ergonomics. And a saving of over AU$400 should never be scoffed at.
