Thinking about ditching your DSLR, switching camera systems, or upgrading to full-frame? These three mirrorless models deliver excellent price-to-performance value – and right now, you can save up to $400 at B&H. Two bundles include accessories at no extra cost, since the price matches the camera body alone, making the extras essentially free.
The Nikon Z6 II is now available in a basic bundle for just $1,496.95 at B&H – a $110 discount from the original $1,606.95 price tag, including a shoulder bag and 128GB memory card.
The Sony A7 III is now available in a basic bundle for just $1,498 at B&H– a $400.20 discount from the original price of £1,898.20. This deal includes a shoulder bag and 64GB memory card.
The Canon EOS R8 is now available for just $1,399 at B&H – a $200 discount from its original $1,599 price tag.
Nikon Z6 II: Best for Nikon DSLR switchers and hybrid shooters
If you're moving from a Nikon DSLR like the D750 or D780, the Nikon Z6 II is hands-down a smooth upgrade. It features a similar body design, intuitive Nikon menus, and excellent ergonomics. While Nikon's Z-mount lens selection isn't as extensive as Sony's or Canon's, you can make use of your existing DSLR lenses via an adapter.
Sony A7 III: Ideal for system switchers and DSLR upgraders
The Sony A7 III remains one of the most versatile full-frame cameras in its price range and packs pro-level features. It gives you maximum mirrorless flexibility as the Sony E-mount ecosystem is the most mature on the market, boasting a huge range of native lenses and third-party support from brands like Tamron and Sigma.
Canon EOS R8: Budget-friendly option for Canon DSLR users and vloggers
The Canon EOS R8 offers an affordable entry into full-frame territory. It keeps the familiar Canon interface, supports your DSLR lenses via an adapter, and packs modern features into a lightweight, compact body. The only notable limitation is the lack of IBIS, which might be a deal-breaker if you do a lot of handheld shooting with long lenses or video. In that case, the EOS R6 II is worth considering, though it comes with a much higher price tag.

If I were to pick a mirrorless full-frame camera today, I'd lean toward the Sony A7 III. Its unmatched lens options and flexibility make it a standout choice, especially if you're open to switching systems entirely. That said, if you want to stick with your current brand and already own a lot of DSLR lenses, staying within the same ecosystem is a smart and budget-friendly way to jump into mirrorless photography.
