Amazon Prime Big Deal Days 2025 in Australia: the best camera deals still available to shop ahead of Black Friday

Announced in May 2023, the R100 is Canon's most affordable RF-mount camera and this discount isn't too far off the sale price from the last few days. While it doesn't feature an articulating touchscreen, it's got a lot of other features that are worthwhile for any beginner looking for a capable entry-level camera. 4K/24p video (cropped), good autofocus performance and an excellent 24.1MP sensor will help you hone your skills.

I think this might be the first time I've seen the R50 V get a discount – it's still pretty new. It's a fantastic APS-C content creation powerhouse, capable of crisp 4K/60p, CLog3 recording, live streaming, vertical menus and UI for upright shooting. I would have been a lot more excited if the single-lens kit was discounted, but hey, I'm not complaining.

It's already a very affordable APS-C camera kit, so even a small discount makes it worthwhile, although it was AU$944 during Black Friday 2024. So while it might be worth waiting, there's a lot of value still packed into this beginner-friendly 24.5MP camera. It's creative modes make capturing stills easy and it can record 4K/30p video (6K oversampled). That's not bad at this price.

It's been a while since I spotted the Canon EOS R100 kit get a discount and, given this lens' focal range, this is very good value for a beginner photographer. For your money, you're getting a 24.2MP APC-S format camera that can shoot at up to 23fps in burst mode and capture 4K/60p footage. There's a fully articulating screen and a pop-up flash too.

The EOS R7 is a lot of camera for its affordable full price, and this discount makes it a tempting option for a beginner. High speed RAW capture, the same autofocus prowess of the more expensive R-series cameras, dual SD cards, 4K video and 32.3MP on tap, and that's just for starters. Did I mention the 40fps continuous shooting speed and in-body stabilisation?

This discount (just AU$30 more than its Prime Day price) is available via a third-party reseller on Amazon, and if you're comfortable with that, it's not a bad price for Canon's entry-level full-framer. Despite being a beginner camera, you get the speed (up to 40fps max burst) and precision we've come to love on Canon's higher-end bodies. This 24.2MP snapper is also the lightest full-framer you can get and comes with a standard kit lens to get you started on your photography journey.

Now AU$100 cheaper than what I saw last year, this 22% discount is one of the best prices on the EOS R6 II body on Amazon. This 24.2MP full-frame camera is Canon mid-range body, straddling the ground between the EOS R8 (above) and the EOS R5 Mark II, giving you enthusiast-level prowess without a huge price tag.

The kit with the RF 24-105mm lens is also discounted – now 23% off and down to AU$5,148 AU$3,988 via the same listing.

Nikon's cheapest interchangeable-lens camera doesn't feel cheap or perform like it's affordable. Its impressive build houses a 20.3MP APS-C sensor that can shoot at up to 11fps burst speed, although it lacks a viewfinder and IBIS to keep costs down. If that doesn't bother you, then this is the best price I can find at the time of writing and the discount is more than 18% as the street price of this kit is about AU$1,599.

I think this is a stellar discount on an excellent Nikon full-framer. The 24.6MP sensor can shoot at up to 120fps, records 6K video, has built-in image stabilisation and has dual card slots, including one for a CFexpress device to make full use of its speed. This discount is via a third-party reseller and not direct from Amazon.

This excellent discount is being offered by a third-party reseller, so make the purchase if you're comfortable with that. I bought this camera in January 2024 for AU$5,336, which makes this a much better price. I think this price is excellent for a revolutionary 45.2MP full-frame camera that doesn't have a mechanical shutter, shoots at up to 120fps and up to 8.3K 60p N-RAW video recording with some stunning results for stills and video.

With better power and lens control, a smaller and slender design, yet simple and easy to use, the Instax Mini 12 is a great buy, even as a gift for a click-happy youngster (at heart). The Mini line is different from the Instax Square range in offering smaller credit card-sized prints, although only the Lilac Purple and Pastel Blue colourways are discounted now.

Not quite the discount I was hoping for, but it's the cheapest of the SQ1 models on Amazon right now. This lovely-looking camera takes some ncie snapshots that are 1.5x bigger than the Instax Mini range in a square format, so the film you will need will also need to be the Square paper.

Fujifilm's X-E range used to be a budget-friendly one, but the X-E5 changed that with a significant markup over the X-E4. However, it justifies that price bump by offering major upgrades, including a 40.2MP APS-C sensor, shoot at up to 20fps bursts with a 66-shot RAW buffer, plus there's IBIS on board too. Like the rangefinder styling? Then consider this small discount.

This good-looking camera is both portable and powerful, with a 20MP MFT sensor, IBIS and a flip-down monitor. It's got a good update over its Mark III predecessor with better autofocus too. It would be an excellent option for anyone looking for an 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.

We're big fans of the Osmo Action 4's superior sensor. Sure, it wasn't a massive upgrade over the previous model and it's now been succeeded by an upgraded model, but it delivers where it matters the most. With horizon balance, better low-light performance than any other action camera and a noise-cancelling 3-mic system, this older camera is still one of the best rivals to GoPro you can get a much lower price.

If you don't want to spend top dollar on the latest GoPro, this DJI can get you a heck of a lot without the high price tag. This palm-friendly action camera gets you AI-powered subject tracking, up to 13.5 stops of dynamic range and even 4K/120p slo-mo recording. It was down to AU$458 for a day or two during Prime Day in July this year, but I think this is still decent value.

DJI's first 360 camera made headlines recently and I wasn't expecting a discount so soon after launch, but even 15% off is welcome as it's quite an expensive little camera. Packed to the rafters with features, including 8K capture for up to 100 minutes or 4K/120p slo-mo, this waterproof shooter could well be the only action camera you need.
