With Black Friday fast approaching up on us, I really didn't expect much of this current Amazon sales event. But I was wrong. Dead wrong.
In fact, the Amazon Big Deal Days camera savings are genuinely pretty incredible. I expected second-rate savings on second-rate camera gear, but what we've got instead are deals so good that I'm actually looking at buying some stuff!
I mean, let's be real. Right now you can save £590 on a Panasonic S5 II with a 20-60mm lens. THIS CAMERA ONLY CAME OUT IN JANUARY!!! And it's full frame! And you can already save almost 600 quid on it!
You can also save £501 on a Sony A7C. Okay, the successor model came out a couple of months ago, but this is still a very capable full frame 24MP camera – and it's half a grand off.
Then there's my personal favorite – the Olympus PEN E-P7 with 14-42mm pancake is discounted by £209. This kit is so compact and capable, I legit take this camera everywhere with me. It's my daily driver… and at this price, I'm seriously thinking about getting a backup.
It's not just the pricey stuff that's been slashed, either – the brilliant Polaroid Now+ is £55 off! And heck, you can save £80 on a bundle of Polaroid i-Type film to go along with it.
Color me absolutely gobsmacked – this Amazon sale has totally taken me by surprise. And it might take a bunch of my money, too.
