Do you ever get stuck for ideas of what to buy people as gifts - for birthdays, anniversaries, or as moving in presents? For those who seem to have everything, giving the gift of memories in the form of a photo book, canvas print or personalized photo calendar is often a great solution. Use some of those great photos of yours and share them with others to enjoy!

Memorial Day camera deals have already started ahead of the weekend but it's not just tech you can save money on - you can save on lots of photo printing services too! I love giving unique, personalized gifts rather than just picking something generic up from the shelf. There's something special about giving a gift you've put thought into and spent time making which is why I regularly give photo books, calendars, canvas prints or poster prints.

Mixbook is listed as one of the best photo printing services in several of our guides thanks to its easy-to-use online editor, affordable prices and high-quality finish. Even when it isn't Black Friday, Mixbook's prices are very competitive and with the code MAYSALE you can get up to 55% off many of its products! 

It's not just personalized calendars and photo books either, you can get beautiful poster prints to frame, custom cards to send to your loved ones or a glass-like finish acrylic print that delivers a super high-end look.

Whether you're ordering a calendar, photo book or poster print, there are a range of sizes and paper types to choose from depending on the look you want to go for and lots of customizable options including fonts, stickers and photo layouts.

Check out our guide on how to create a photo calendar if you get stuck as it'll help you choose the right size, style, import your photos, choose a layout and place your order. 

I was lucky enough to go to the launch of the Fujifilm X-H2S – so it has been a camera that holds a special place in my heart. So it was great to spot that this hybrid mirrorless camera has now dropped to its best price this year - costing  £1,799 at Clifton Cameras. That's a saving of £500 on the recommended retail price - and £200 less than at Amazon, and some other well-known camera stores.

I love that, unlike most other Fujifilm models, you get an information screen on the top plate of the camera. But it is its high-speed shooting specification that are the big appeal. It has a top motordrive speed for stills of 40fps, with a 40MP resolution. And for video you get open gate shooting with a sensor scan time of just 1/80sec to minimize rolling shutter.

The X-H2S is the more expensive sibling to the X-H2 - so it can be confusing to decide whether the pricier version is the right one for you. The two cameras look and handle the same, but as you can read in our exhaustive Fujifilm X-H2 vs X-H2S comparison there are some serious, if subtle, differences under the hood. 

But the easy way, perhaps, to pick the two cameras apart is to think of the X-H2S for speed, and the X-H2 is designed for resolution. But as the H in the name might imply - both of the 2022 X-H models are hybrid cameras - designed for those that need high-performance video as well as great stills shooting.

Fujifilm itself talks about the X-H2S appealing to those who need the faster autofocus - so those shooting sport, aircraft, or wildlife say. And that the X-H2's higher resolution, means it is more attractive to commercial, product and landscape shooters.

This is by far the most enticing deal I've seen in a year. It is a dream camera from legendary Swedish medium-format specialists Hasselblad. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this beautiful camera if I had the money. With £1,000 off, this is the lowest price I've ever seen camera for a year!

Hasselblad’s 907X is its smallest and lightest medium format camera body to date, weighing just 200g. Exceptionally thin and lightweight, it seamlessly integrates with the CFV II 50C digital back to form the compact Hasselblad 907X 50C mirrorless medium format camera. When paired with the CFV II 50C, the 907X is compatible with a wide range of Hasselblad lenses, including all XCD lenses, as well as HC/HCD, V System, and XPan lenses via adapters.

The CFV II 50C features a powerful 50-megapixel medium format CMOS sensor (43.8 x 32.9 mm) and is designed for use with most V System cameras from 1957 onward, as well as third-party technical and view cameras. Its 3.2-inch, 2.36-million-dot tilting rear display offers full touch functionality, along with Hasselblad’s intuitive interface for settings, image review, and menu navigation.

Unlike previous CFV digital backs, the CFV II 50C includes a fully integrated battery—the same as Hasselblad’s X System—reducing size while enabling USB-C in-camera charging. With its blend of classic design elements, a chrome-edged body, and cutting-edge technology, the CFV II 50C pays tribute to Hasselblad’s legacy while delivering the brand’s renowned image quality.

The Nikon Z6 II has just hit its lowest-ever price ahead of Black Friday! If you're thinking about upgrading to one of the best mirrorless camera, the Nikon Z6 II is an excellent choice. 

As a Nikon user myself, I may be a little partial, but it's undoubtedly one of the best options out there. While the newly released Nikon Z6 III is impressive, it's nearly double the price of this Z6 II deal, making the older model an even better bargain that is currently at its lowest-ever price at Amazon for just £1,289

Nikon made significant upgrades with the Z6 II, enhancing the original Z6 by adding dual processors, a second memory card slot, and faster burst shooting. These features deliver excellent performance without the high megapixel count or price tag of the Z7 II.

What I love most about this camera is the beautiful full-frame images with vibrant colors and sharp details, making editing or sharing straight to social media a breeze. The addition of a second card slot is a game changer, elevating it to a professional-level camera for those looking to earn from their photography. The autofocus is top-notch, effortlessly tracking everything from human eyes to animals.

The only drawback is the cropped 4K 60p video, but since I usually shoot at 24p or 30p, it’s not a dealbreaker. And honestly, 24fps is ideal for cinematic shots anyway—but that's a conversation for another time!

See our guide to the Best lenses for the Nikon Z6 II

My favorite lens for the Canon EOS R system is the amazing RF 85mm f/1.2L – and when I bought mine, it was about £3,000. 

But thanks to this double cashback offer you can save an incredible £600, making the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L just £2,399.99 when you buy from Wex with a Canon EO?S body.

Even though Amazon Prime Day is taking place next month, trust me – you won't find anything like this deal on Amazon!

I love fast glass, but speed isn't enough; I've bought enough Chinese f/0.95 lenses to know that a fast aperture only gets you so far if the image quality isn't there. Or the autofocus, for that matter.

The Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L IS USM (review) is one of the few lenses I will never, ever sell. Between its ridiculous speed and the classic focal length for portraiture, it creates the kind of subject separation and background blur that other lenses can only dream of. 

And powered by the incredible autofocus of Canon's R system cameras, it never misses a beat – even when working with flash, when I'm pre-focusing in low light before the flashguns fire. 

It's a huge, hefty, hulking lens, so you're going to need a big camera (and big hands) to work with it properly, and it lacks image stabilization, so you'll ideally need a camera with IBIS. But one look at the results and the quality makes everything worthwhile. 

This lens was worth every penny when I paid three grand for it. And at this price, it's an even better bargain!

After a long wait and much anticipation, the Nikon Z6 III is now available for preorder in the US, UK and Australia. If you're considering upgrading to this cutting-edge mirrorless hybrid flagship, I've listed the best retailers where you can purchase and place your pre-order below.

Boasting an impressive array of new features, including the world's first partially stacked sensor and a completely redesigned body, the Nikon Z6 III is set to become one of the year's most sought-after cameras. With its lightning-fast sensor, enhanced autofocus, and superior low-light performance, it serves as a versatile tool for both photography and videography.

As a flagship hybrid camera, the Nikon Z6 III comes with a premium price tag, currently retailing at $2,496.95 in the US and £2,699 in the UK and AU$4,499.95 in Australia. 

This positions it between the Nikon Zf and Nikon Z8 models in terms of MSRP, and it competes directly with the Sony A7 IV and Canon R6.

Although it debuts more than its predecessor, the Z6 III offers a compelling alternative to the Nikon Z8 for those who don't need more than 24MP resolution and prefer a more compact body. Overall, the Nikon Z6 III is poised to be very popular—though as of now, only one retailer has reported selling out of preorders.

Where to buy the Nikon Z6 III

Shipping expectations

The first batch of orders is expected to be delivered to their new owners by June 25, though this date may change if initial stock sells out quicker than expected.

If you place an order today, you can typically expect to receive your camera within the next two weeks, depending on your location.

Nikon Z6 III: Digital Camera World's verdict

"The Z 6III promises to be a truly stunning enthusiast-level camera, offering most of the functionality of the Z8 in a smaller body with a lower megapixel count, at an attractive price. 

Its stellar low-light performance makes it a top choice for astrophotographers, and its partially stacked sensor should make it a winner for wildlife or sports enthusiasts."

- Adam Waring, Editor N-Photo: The Nikon Magazine 

If you've been on the lookout for a powerhouse professional camera, today is (still) your lucky day! The flagship-class Canon EOS-1D X Mark II has been slashed to just $2,999, which is an enormous saving of $3,000 on its RRP! 

We saw this deal back over Black Friday, but now it is back - equalling the lowest price this tank-like DSLR camera has ever sold for at B&H. This pro camera offers formidable firepower to sports and wildlife shooters who need to take advantage of its 16fps shooting, and any working professional photographer who demands a rugged, robust, reliable camera that can withstand any shooting conditions, 

If you make money from your photography, you need a camera that's always up to the task. And that's exactly what the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II was designed for, being the company's flagship camera for years – and still being used by countless working professionals to this day. 

Though it has since been superseded by the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III in the DSLR realm, and the Canon EOS R3 in the mirrorless domain, the 1D X Mark II is as capable as it ever was for shooting elite and recreational sports, weddings, wildlife, and all manner of professional work.

Its 20.1MP sensor boasts a sensitivity of ISO50-409,600 – which not only comes in useful for shooting sports and wildlife at fast shutter speeds (taking advantage of the 16fps burst capture), but also ensures that you get clean headshots, portraits and group images when shooting weddings or corporate work under challenging lighting conditions. 

It's even capable of great video output, with 4K capture at up to 60p and 1080p video at 120p slow-motion. One of the best professional cameras in its day, is now is an incredible time to pick up some flagship firepower!

If you're an aspiring filmmaker looking to upgrade to a cinema camera, consider a box-style camera. These cameras are small, powerful, and more convenient than larger traditional cinema cameras. And now this option is even more tempting as B&H is offering a $1,000 discount on the Panasonic Lumix BS1H!

The Panasonic Lumix BS1H features much of the same technology as the Lumix S1H, including a 24.2MP 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor with an Optical Low Pass Filter (OLPF) to reduce moire and false colors. It also has Dual Native ISO, which switches between two different noise circuits for varying ISO ranges, with a maximum ISO of 51200. 

The BS1H supports 6K full-area recording at 24p, 5.4K at 30p (both in a 3:2 ratio), or 5.9K at 30p in 16:9. It can record 4:2:2 10-bit 4K 30p video in H.264 and 10-bit 60p 4K/C4K HEVC video in Super 35mm mode.

Overall, I'd say the Panasonic Lumix BS1H is an ideal choice for filmmakers seeking a powerful yet compact camera for any shoot. Its size allows for a simple setup or a fully rigged configuration like a Hollywood production, delivering outstanding 6K full-frame video, and now with B&H's $1,000 discount, it's more affordable than ever!

If you've been looking for the best action camera on the market, and you have decided that picking one of the best GoPro cameras is most suited to your needs you're in luck as GoPro has slashed the price of its current camera offering a great discount.

Better still, to sweeten the deal the action cam giant is also offering a FREE year Premium GoPro subscription when you purchase the GoPro Hero12 Black from GoPro direct (the Premium Subscription is usually half price in the first year, at £24.99)

So, if you're in the market for a GoPro now is the time to buy, below I have highlighted the best deal to purchase from GoPro direct!

The GoPro HERO12 Black retains some hardware features from its predecessor, the GoPro Hero11 Black such as a 27MP image sensor that supports 5.3K60 video recording. However, it enhances its capabilities with longer battery life, HyperSmooth 6.0 technology, and expanded Bluetooth wireless functionality. 

The image sensor effortlessly captures 27MP RAW still photos and videos in 5.3K60, 4K120, and 2.7K240. The HyperSmooth 6.0 digital image stabilization with AutoBoost ensures high-quality footage with minimal image cropping. Additionally, improved power management allows the HERO12 to record video continuously for twice as long as previous models.

All the above and its new price, and FREE year Premium subscription saving you an amazing £125 off RRP there has never been a better time to buy a GoPro!

If you're in the market for one of the best Canon cameras to date then you're in luck as the flagship and one of the best DSLR cameras ever made from Canon, the EOS 1D X Mark III has gotten a MASSIVE $1,500 from B&H - but there's a secret as this price is below the manufacturer's minimum advertised price - you have to click and provide your email to get given a link to this amazing discount - think of it as a cheat code to getting an amazing discount.

In the retailer's own words:
"Since our price is below the minimum advertised price (MAP) set by the manufacturer, we're legally required to keep the best price strictly hush-hush. Should you agree that our price is the best, don't delay: the link sent via email will expire in one hour."

This is the first time we have seen anything like this from the massive retailer - and you can be sure is going to be worth that extra click as with $1,500 off that means the Canon EOS 1D Mark III would be a ludicrous $4,999!

The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III is a formidable DSLR tailored for sports, wildlife, and other demanding and dynamic photography applications. As the flagship model of the EOS system, it boasts advanced processing capabilities and exceptional speed for both photo and video tasks. 

The camera features a newly designed 20.1MP full-frame CMOS sensor and an updated DIGIC X image processor, enabling continuous shooting rates of up to 16 fps with the optical viewfinder or 20 fps in live view, with a 1000-shot buffer for raw+JPEG shots. Enhancing its performance, the camera offers an impressive native ISO range of 100-102400, expandable to ISO 50-819200, making it versatile for various lighting conditions.

Beyond its high-performance still photography capabilities, the 1D X Mark III excels in video recording, capturing DCI 4K content internally at up to 60 fps with 10-bit, 4:2:2 color, Full HD at 120 fps, and raw 5.5K (5472 x 2886) at 60 fps. Video recording is enhanced with features like Movie Digital IS, manual focus peaking, Focus Guide, and Canon Log Gamma for greater control over color grading in post-production.

All of this combined with the secret and exclusive price from B&H saving you a HUGE $1,500 now has never been a better time to pick up Canon's last DSLR flagship.

If you have been waiting for a stellar deal on one of the best mirrorless cameras then now is your chance to take the plunge and retire your tired DSLR as the Panasonic G9 II with 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 lens bundle is now at its lowest-ever price of just £1,549 at Amazon - that's a MASSIVE £350 saving!

Now is the time to buy, as I can see these flying off the shelves at this price - and discounts on Amazon can disappear almost as soon as we spot them!

The G9 II marks a milestone as the first Lumix G-series camera to incorporate Phase Hybrid AF, ensuring swift and accurate autofocus. Leveraging cutting-edge AI technology, its real-time autofocus recognition now extends to cars, motorcycles, and animal eyes, enhancing subject detection for sharper results. With a remarkable burst shooting rate of 75fps and a pre-burst function that allows you to capture fleeting moments up to 1.5 seconds retroactively, it ensures you never miss the perfect shot.

At its core lies a 25.2MP Digital Live MOS Sensor paired with an updated processor, engineered to deliver high-speed, high-resolution imaging. This combination ensures crisp, detailed stills and cinematic-quality DCI 4K and UHD 4K video capture. The result is imagery that exudes realism, with true-to-life color rendition and immersive depth. Furthermore, the camera introduces a handheld high-res mode, amalgamating multiple exposures to produce a single, ultra-high-resolution 100MP file in either RAW or JPEG format.

In the realm of video, the G9 II shines with its ability to record up to DCI 4K and UHD 4K footage at 60p with unlimited recording capability and 4:2:2 10-bit color depth. For those inclined towards high-resolution slow-motion content, it offers support for C4K/4K video capture at 120p with 4:2:0 10-bit color sampling. With these capabilities and a suite of video shooting assist functions, the G9 II caters to the needs of discerning videographers, enabling them to unleash their creativity without compromise.

This Panasonic Lumix S5 lens kit combines the best-selling full-frame Lumix S5, S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, and the S 85mm f/1.8 prime - to create an amazing all-in-one package that would be great for portrait and wedding photographers.

The ability to combine the 5-axis in-body stabilization in the camera with optical IS in the LUMIX S Series lenses, provides smooth footage in the most challenging of conditions. 

The included lenses in this kit are perfect for both stills and video. The L-mount S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 lens allows for flexible shooting and the S 80mm f/1.8 is a powerful stills lens, especially for portraiture.

It was the camera that started a revolution... well, at least for Fujifilm, the company that made medium format cameras cheaper and smaller. The Fujifilm GFX 100S successfully packs a whopping 102MP large-format sensor into a DSLR-like body, making it a little easier to handle than the bigger, more unwieldy models that were best suited to studio work.

In my Fujifilm GFX 100S review, I said that it had a "relatively affordable price tag" and that was at launch in 2021 when it cost AU$9,499. Three years on and just hours after the second-generation Fujifilm GFX100S II was announced, you can pick up the mark I model for less than the cost of a premium full-frame camera.

Head to Diamonds Cameras where the GFX 100S body is down to a record-low price of just AU$,5899! That's a huge saving of AU$3,600 on its launch price and AU$2,200 off its current list price at the retailer. You'd better hurry, though, as stock might be limited.

There was a time when the team here at Digital Camera World considered the GFX 100S the best medium format camera, but it's now been replaced by the Mark II model that's just been announced. That said, it's still our pick of the best affordable 100MP medium format camera.

More than just a megapixel beast, this camera liberates medium format photography from the studio and even makes it a viable street photography camera, thanks to its amazing stabilization. And between the 102MP on tap for stills and 4K/30p video, it's not a bad option as a hybrid, although if video is your main priority, you'll find better elsewhere.

Like I've said previously, medium format photography isn't meant for fast-paced environments like the sports arena or for wildlife shots – it's best for landscapes, portraiture, architecture or anything else where you can take your time to think about your shot. And in that, the GFX 100S excels. 

The results this camera produces is just stunning and you get a bunch of film simulations too. 

What you do miss out with the GFX 100S is subject detection and the speedy autofocus from smaller sensor formats. If that doesn't bother you, this will be a very nice investment if you've been holding off on getting into medium format photography.

Take a look at the best Fujifilm GF lenses to accompany the GFX 100S 

Have you been dreaming of owning one of the best medium format cameras? Well, today is your lucky day as the Fujifilm GFX 100S has hit its lowest-ever price of just $4,399, saving you a MASSIVE $1,600! — Now that's a great deal!

As Ecommerce Editor at Digital Camera World, it's my job to find and highlight the best deals from across the internet, and this one from Fujifilm is as good as it gets in the realm of medium format cameras. Fujifilm has been dropping prices on a host of its cameras and lenses recently but this is by far the biggest saving!

Not only is the Fujifilm GFX 100S one of the best medium format cameras, but it's also one of the best cameras full stop. More than just a megapixel beast, this liberates medium format photography from the studio and makes it a viable camera to use out in the field and on assignment, thanks to its amazing stabilization. 

This amazing price drop stems from the recent release of the newer Fujifilm GFX 100 II, which is just arriving in the stores – but which is almost twice the price.

But don't just take my word for it, one of our in-house staff writers, Kalum Carter is a GFX user and has this to say about the GFX system: 

"The image quality produced by the system is exquisite, and when coupled with the in-built Fujifilm film simulations, it can take your images to the next level. The medium format aesthetic coupled with the black and white Acros filter is my go-to work mode and enables the capture of timeless photographs."   

Kalum is a pro-user of the Fujifilm GFX 50S II, which is also currently offered at Adorama, B&H, and Amazon with a cool saving of $1,000.

As we reported yesterday, DJI have launched two new power banks ideal for powering camping holidays or keeping your drones and camera equipment charged up in the field.

In a way, it's surprising the company hasn't done this sooner since it's invested a good deal of time developing lightweight, powerful, and reliable batteries for drones. Still, better late than never. We've just spotted that – in the USA at least – the company seems to be celebrating the launch with a massive discount from the planned recommended retail of $999 for the Power 1000 and $499 for the Power 500.

That's pretty unusual for a launch product, and makes it very competitive, so it might be worth checking out. 

We don't have full reviews of these products yet, but DJI generally have a very good or better score with their other products, as evidenced by our guides to the best camera drones, and best beginner drones.

These are obviously useful if you're out camping or you're our flying; drone batteries aren't cheap and – if you charge as you go – then you don't need to buy as many batteries to have a fruitful day flying. We can see these being very popular with professional content creators who need to keep topping up on the go and with pilots of fun craft like the new Avata 2 which, if we're honest, burns through batteries faster when you're having more fun!

If you've been waiting for a deal on an Instax printer to give you some of that nostalgia in a portable form, or you're after a convenient way to share your memories with friends and family, then this great deal at Amazon saves you £45 on the Instax Link Wide.

The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV will go down in history as one of the best DSLR cameras ever - and it remains one of the most popular DSLR cameras still in production. We have just noticed that Currys has just slashed the price of this full-frame workhorse - making it over £400 less than you can buy it at other UK retailers (and £573 less than it was earlier in the week at Currys)

Quite simply, the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is one of the most well-rounded and complete DSLRs we've tested. From landscapes and intimate close-ups to sports and wildlife, it'll perform superbly in any situation – and is still widely used by professional photographers who haven't taken the mirrorless jump.

It has a mighty full-frame 30.4MP full-frame sensor for starters, while the noise and dynamic range performance, AF system, and touchscreen are all distinct improvements on previous models in the DSLR market.

We instantly felt at home with the EOS 5D Mark IV when we came to review the camera, and if video's your thing, you'll be happy to hear that it also offers DCI 4K video capture. Not bad for a camera that will be eight years old in September! But old doesn't mean dated, and while it has a mirror these specs are still up there with the best mirrorless cameras – now at a fraction of the price!

If you have been looking at the best Sony cameras and you're dreaming about upgrading to the best mirrorless cameras on the market now is a good time as any since B&H is having a Sony sale that could save you over  $600.

As Ecommerce editor of Digital Camera World, it's my job to showcase the best deals across the internet to help you on your journey to purchasing the camera equipment that is best for you.

So, scroll below and see the best selection of the B&H Sony Sale.

While there are many other deals to be had in this Sony Sale at B&H - I think these four deals above highlight the best for all budgets and needs, so no matter if you're looking the best vlogging camera or you want the highest megapixel cameras on the market, these deals are for you!

The Nikon Z6 II just dropped a $400 in price, now being only $1,596.95 body only at B&H - making it one great camera for the performance! 

If you've been looking to upgrade to one of the best mirrorless cameras on the market then picking one of the best Nikon cameras will certainly put you on a good path, whilst being a little biased, as I'm a Nikon shooter myself!

Nikon made big moves from the original Z6, adding twin processors, a second memory card slot, and faster burst shooting to give us the Nikon Z6 II – a camera that packs a tonne of performance without the hefty megapixel count and price tag of the Z7 II.

I love a lot of things about this camera – Nikon's full-frame images have glorious colors and great detail, making the files a pleasure to post-process or post straight to socials. 

The second card slot is a game changer, making this a professional-caliber body should you want to use it to make money, and the autofocus is brilliant at tracking everything from human eyes to animals. 

The only pity is that the 4K 60p video is cropped, but I always tend to shoot at 24p or 30p, so it's no big deal and realistic you should be shooting at 24fps for cinematic shots anyway - but that's another story!. 

If you want an entry point into Nikon's mirrorless Z system, I honestly can't think of a better way to do it at this price point – $400 off such a great camera is something I suggest jumping on right away!

Amazon's spring sale ended yesterday, but we are still spotting some great deals - including this big price drop on one of our favorite beginner telescopes. It's a no-frills device that will give you a powerful view of the night sky thanks to its bright 130mm diameter lens. With an overnight price drop of over £40, this Celestron telescope is now on offer for just £203.

The Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ is a complete kit with an optical tube assembly (OTA), anequatorial mount, two eyepieces – a 20mm and 10mm – which work with the optical system to provide magnifications and 33x and 65x, a red-dot finderscope to help you frame your subject, and a solidly-built stainless steel tripod. Furthermore, the bundle that Amazon has just cut the price on comes with a motorized drive, that allows you to track celestial objects as they appear to move across the night sky.

The supplied motor is good for tracking objects such as the moon, but it does not come with computerized control to guide you to a particular planet or star. However, this telescope is a great starting point for exploring our solar system, and the galaxies beyond.

If you're looking for one of the best vlogging cameras to start up your own YouTube channel or you're looking for the perfect camera that you can use to stream across your favorite social media platforms - well now is the best time to purchase the Sony ZV-1F.

It's the last day of the Amazon Spring Deal Days sales and currently, the Sony ZV-1F is just £441.19 at Amazon - which I think is a bargain for this ready-to-go 4K vlogging setup!

Tailor-made for vloggers and digital creators, the Sony ZV-1F  packs a punch in a compact size. Boasting a 1" sensor and a wide-angle lens equivalent to 20mm, this compact camera ensures you capture group selfies with sprawling backgrounds effortlessly, even at arm's length. 

Its lens offers a broader field of view than the naked eye, delivering striking depth and perspective indoors or outdoors. Designed for portability, it's your ideal companion for documenting daily life and seizing spontaneous content on the fly.

With a convenient 3.0" flip-out touchscreen and a directional 3-capsule microphone tailored for front-facing recording, the ZV-1F caters to a vloggers every need.

Amazingly, the Canon EOS 90D is now five years old this year, but because it was such a forward-thinking camera, it still feels pretty current. And that's good news, as this is one of the hottest deals available in the Amazon Spring Sale which is running this week. Amazon has cut over £320 off the price overnight, bringing down the price of this DSLR to just £899.99.

The question is, is the Canon EOS 90D still current enough to warrant a recommendation in 2024? I still rate it as one of the best cameras for wildlife and one of the best cameras for sports – two categories where APS-C cameras have a real niche, and where DSLRs are still proving pretty popular despite the many advantages of mirrorless.

So what does the Canon EOS 90D offer? At its heart is Canon's breakthrough 32.5MP sensor – the first APS-C sensor to break the 26MP barrier. This comes with a 1.6x crop factor that is a real boon for genres where you need extra reach, as it increases the effective focal length of your lenses (a 300mm optic becomes a 480mm, for example). 

This is complemented by a 10fps burst rate that, while conservative by today's standards, is still good enough for shooting fast action like wild animals or sports. It is, however, held back by a slightly limited buffer of about 25 RAWs.

With Dual Pixel Autofocus, the 90D is as formidable as a mirrorless camera – even for shooting video, which isn't something you'd normally choose to do with a DSLR. The fully articulating screen and uncropped 4K actually make it a powerful moviemaking machine.

While it doesn't have an electronic viewfinder, being a DSLR has distinct advantages – most notably the battery life, where mirrorless users will be green with envy at the  1,300-shot performance.  So, if you've been eyeing up the Canon EOS 90D, I say go for it. It may be a little long in the tooth now, but it still stands proudly even next to its modern mirrorless counterparts.

Amazon Spring Deals run until March 25.

Take a look at the best DSLRs and the best Canon cameras both with and without a mirror mechanism.

Jolene Sickelmore, VP of Marketing at MPB said:  “Research shows that—despite there being £70bn worth of spare tech items in UK households, over 70% of adults have never sold any used tech. We also know that the majority of photographers and videographers own at least one camera or lens they no longer use.

While you look at some of the best camera drones on the market you will see a lot of specs such as speed, megapixel count, battery life, fly time – you get the picture, but there is one spec that everyone wants, even when you're looking at the best drones for beginners. Everyone wants 4K video, but that used to come at a high cost, well DJI has had a price cut on the DJI Mini 3 which sees 4K video and their smooth 3-axis gimbal accessible under the $500 mark!

Currently, there is a $90 discount across many of your favorite retailers such as B&H, Adorama, and even the DJI Store – the DJI Mini 3 is now $469

The Mini 3 has got some pretty cool upgrades. First off, DJI beefed up its wind resistance and battery life, now giving you a whopping 38 minutes of flight time. But wait, there's more! 

It's also got this awesome feature called true vertical shooting. Basically, it lets you rotate the gimbal 90° so you can capture epic vertical shots that are perfect for sharing on your favorite social media platforms,  taking your aerial photography and video game to a whole new level!

Even our in-house drone expert and Managing Editor Adam Juniper liked the DJI Mini 3 when reviewing it stating:  

"It has great battery life and can survive a bit of a breeze, while shooting 4K video in portrait or landscape. Just remember to avoid obstacles yourself!"

So there you have it a DJI drone with all the latest tech that you want, nothing that you don't and that offers 4K and an incredibly reasonable price point – what's not to love?

While some of the best discounts might still be out of your price range, these price cuts offer some great discounts across all the Canon range from consumer to professional and, as the Ecommerce Editor for Digital Camera World, I have scanned all the current discounts and listed the best ones below that I think provide the best discount across the Canon camera and lens range, but make sure to check out all the Canon Specials to see what bargains are out there!

While these are a varied mix of consumer and professional gear, it goes to show that good deals are still out there. Personally, I think the Canon EOS R8 at $1,299 (inc discount) is an amazing camera for the money and would be the perfect for anyone wanting to upgrade to a mirrorless camera and replace their best DSLR. 

Likewise, the Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8, yes it is $2,599 which is a steep asking price for any of us but the quality of the lens you are getting, and as an ex-professional sports photographer I know how much use you can get out of these lenses, makes the price very tempting! 

Two of my favorite professional LEDs from Rotolight are currently on sale at their lowest-ever prices, with discounts of up to £1,200!

It's not very often we see deals on the best MacBooks around, or even on any Apple laptop that features on our best laptops for photo editing guide – but Best Buy has come in for the kill with this remarkable $300 saving on the Apple MacBook Air 15"  M2 with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, which is an incredible $999 – that's currently $100 cheaper than other retailers!

Currently ranking third in our best MacBook for photo editing guide, the MacBook Air 15 is probably the best laptop currently on the market for most people – and a superb choice for any photographer, videographer or creative who wants a larger gorgeous screen, combined with enough power to run the latest editing software, all wrapped up in a lightweight package that can easily slip into a backpack. 

There might be more powerful Apple options for the most demanding editing situations but, for most people, the M2 chip inside the Air 15 will provide more than enough oomph to edit comfortably.

If you're a photographer, adventurer, or just someone who wants something small and convenient to record your everyday life then using one of the best action cameras can make that dream a reality - now Number 1 on our best action camera guide - the DJI Osmo Action 4 has seen a price slash that brings this excellent action cam to a price of just $299 / $289 / AU$469 which to us feels like a steal! That's a $100 (or £90 / AU$160) saving from its launch price back in August.

We must point out that this price is for the 'standard combo', but for the everyday user, this will certainly get you recording travel vlogs, life hacks, and everything in between. 

Matching most of the features of the GoPro Hero11 Black, albeit at 'only' 4K, the Osmo Action 4 boasts a bigger image sensor so performs better in lower light, making this our favorite action camera overall.

Our very own expert Adam Juniper, Managing Editor of DCW, had this to say about the DJI Osmo Action 4 when reviewing it:

"For most adventurer-creators, the Osmo Action 4 is the perfect balance of quality and price. Stabilized 4K video looks great and the camera can take a lot – not just rough and tumble but temperature extremes and it's waterproof to 16m without a case. Best of all, it has a larger image sensor than any other camera on the list, so it is better in lower light, making it more flexible".

The 1/1.3-inch image sensor is the Osmo Action 4's stand-out feature; the main generational change that makes it a more powerful action camera than its predecessor (and is a lot bigger than the GoPro Hero 11's much-discussed 8:7 sensor). You can shoot horizontally or vertically as you choose.

Along with it comes DJI's HorizonSteady image stabilization which can keep the horizon level through 360 degrees of camera rotation or be set to switch once the camera passes 45 degrees. There is also RockSteady 3.0+ and other features, which depend on the camera settings.

So, no matter if you're looking for something to record your latest POV street photography walk or you want something to record a vlog on your upcoming YouTube channel, the DJI Osmo Action 4 is simply the best in the business right now by our standards and it now being priced even lower to just $299 / £289 / AU$469 feels like a deal that simply can't be missed!

We have just spotted another superb deal on Canon's latest 4K camcorder - which will save you nearly £300 on this pro-grade video camera from Amazon. The Canon Legria HF G70 was launched last year, and builds on previous high-end digital camcorders in Canon's range - and now at  just £796.02 at Amazon it is a real bargain (and unbelievably even cheaper than we saw it over Black Friday and in the Boxing Day sales).

With most cameras and camera phones now shooting video, so may well ask why anyone would want a camcorder - a type of video camera that had its heyday in the 1990s, when they recorded on tape. And indeed, there are fewer models around nowadays, as fewer people are buying them.

But the key attractions of a camcorder is that it has a big built-in zoom. In the case of the Canon Legria HF G70 optical zoom - the equivalent of having a built-in 30-600mm lens. So capable of everything from wide shots to super-telephoto close-ups of wildlife and action. 

What's more, camcorders (unlike your phone, and most stills cameras) are designed for shooting video. There is a hand strap that ensures you keep the set-up steady - with motorized zoom controls perfectly placed for use by your right index finger. There is an electronic eyelevel viewfinder for framing - but also a fully-rotating LCD for use on a tripod, or for reviewing your footage.

We saw some great twin-lens camera kit deals over Black Friday, but we have just checked some of these deals are still running - and some of them have dropped in price even further!

If you're investing in a camera for the first time, there is a better approach to trying to find a camera deal and then trying to find a lens deal to match it – and the answer is to buy a twin-lens kit. 

If you're unfamiliar with the term, this means a bundle that includes a camera (usually with an APS-C sensor) and two "kit lenses". These are general-purpose optics that cover one of two focal ranges: standard and telephoto. 

Usually a camera comes bundled with just one of these kit options (typically the standard as that's the most widely used). Looking for a twin kit lens option offers great value, but more than that it means that you won't need to buy another lens unless you really, really want to – after all, you have an enormous 18-250mm range, covering pretty much all the photography bases! 

The best twin lens kit camera deals

It's not often that Leicas are discounted, but this is an offer that's flown under the radar: £1,200 off a Leica SL2 mirrorless camera with a Summicron prime lens or Vario zoom – remarkable!

Every photographer – myself included – has dreamed of that prestigious Red Dot at one point or another, I even own two myself!  but while this price could be out of reach for most of us, with over a grand shaved off the price, a new Leica is now nearer the realm of affordability for some!

Three bundles are available in the UK: one with the Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70mm f/2.8 Asph zoom lens, and the other with either the Summicron-SL 35 f/2 Asph or Summicron-SL 50mm f/2 Asph prime lenses. 

Personally, I'd go for that nifty fifty, as I'm a big fan of prime lenses and use a 50mm, which I think is a fantastic all-rounder that covers everything from street photography to portraiture (for what it's worth, I'd also pick that limited-run silver body as well). However, 24-70mm is a more versatile choice and I loved using it when I reviewed it – either way, you can't go wrong!

The deals

How it works

1) First you will have to log into your existing or register for a new Leica account – once in your account, you will see a link to download your vouchers. Note that only one voucher can be used per purchase.

2) Fill out the online form to request the voucher. Once submitted, you will be sent your unique voucher code via your Leica Account and to the email you used to set it up. Make sure to click "Activate your voucher" to show your discount code.

3) You will now have your voucher code and it can be redeemed at any participating Leica store in the UK or via authorized dealers such as Park Cameras and Wex Photo Video. Make sure to enter your unique voucher ID into the special instructions box in the shopping cart during checkout and, once applied, you will have £1,200 big ones towards your order.

As a luxury brand, Leica is more expensive than other camera systems on the market. That being the case, discounts really don't come along very often – so if you're interested in a highly covetable Leica SL2 (which earned 4½ stars in our review) this is a golden opportunity to pick one up at an unbeatable price.

You can also check out the best Leica cameras or, if you want to save cash, the best Leica camera alternatives.

It's not often that Leicas are discounted, but this is an offer that's flown under the radar and is soon to be ending at the end of January!  The deal in question is a massive $1,500 off a Leica SL2 mirrorless camera with either Summicron prime lens or Vario zoom!

Every photographer – myself included – has wowed over a camera with that prestigious Red Dot at one point or another, heck I even own two! While still at this price point, this setup might be out of reach for most, with a grand and a half shaved off the price, a new Leica is now in the realm of affordability!

Two bundles are available with this deal: one with the Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70mm f/2.8 Asph zoom lens, and one with the Summicron-SL 50mm f/2 Asph prime lens. Personally, I'd go for that nifty fifty, as I'm a big fan of prime lenses and also shoot with a 50mm as the focal length is a fantastic all-rounder that covers everything from street photography to portraiture (for what it's worth, I'd pick that limited-run silver body as well). The Leica 24-70mm Vario-Elmarit-SL is a more versatile choice, though, and either lens is going to serve you well.

The Deals

How it works

1) First you will have to log into your existing or register for a new Leica account – once in your account, you will see a link to download your vouchers. Note that only one voucher can be used per purchase.

2) Fill out the online form to request the voucher. Once submitted, you will be sent your unique voucher code via your Leica Account and to the email you used to set it up. Make sure to click "Activate your voucher" to show your discount code.

3) You will now have your voucher code and it can be redeemed at any participating Leica store in the US or via authorized dealers such as B&H and Adorama. Make sure to enter your unique voucher ID into the special instructions box in the shopping cart during checkout and, once applied, you will have $1,500 big ones towards your order.

As a luxury brand, Leica is more expensive than other camera systems on the market. That being the case, discounts really don't come along very often – so if you're interested in a highly covetable Leica SL2 (which earned 4½ stars in our review) this is a golden opportunity to pick one up at an unbeatable price.

Fujifilm has been offering some pretty big discounts on its best cameras and lenses since Black Friday, but all good things must come to an end as they look set to end on January 18 - that means you have just two days left!

The two promotions offer savings across Fujifilm's X series and GFX systems, offering huge cashback options for the former and outright outrageous discounts for the latter. I have highlighted some key deals below: 

X Series

GFX  

These are a few of my choices that are available under the Fujifilm promotion, but there are many more to take advantage of. As the site's resident Fujifilm fan, I may be slightly biased, but both the X series and the GFX system have been pushing boundaries over the past few years. 

The X series has produced some of the best hybrid cameras on the market, as well as some of the best cameras for street photography. The retro and inconspicuous style offers both great form and function, and when used in conjunction with the Fujifilm film simulations, it is as close to shooting film as you can get without actually shooting film. 

The GFX system offers a different and unique experience. It wasn't that long ago that medium format cameras rarely left the studio, but the GFX system offers the same stunning image quality but with more maneuverability and versatility, making it one of the best camera systems for landscapes and portraits alike. 

If you are on the fence about jumping into a new camera system, Fujifilm offers a great loan scheme, where you can try out cameras and lenses before you take the leap. 

But if you feel ready I'd recommend taking advantage of these awesome deals as you only have until January 18!

We have just spotted that the Fujifilm X-S10 has dropped to its lowest ever price - beating the deals we saw over Black Friday. On sale at Wex, it will cost you £1,149 - once you have claimed your £100 cashback from Fujifilm.

The Fujifilm X-S10 may not be the most recent APS-C mirrorless camera in the X series - and has recently been upgraded with the arrival of the Fujifilm X-S20. However, it has been one of our favorite models since its launch in 2020 - and now is an absolute bargain thanks to the price reduction and cashback, which will save you £250. Fujifilm's winter cashback ends on January 18 - and then you need to claim online by February 18.

The X-S10, when it launched, was a completely new category of cameras for Fujifilm, with a more intuitive control layout, thanks to the traditional mode dial on the top panel. It's got a much deeper handgrip than other X-series cameras, and is still smaller than the Fujifilm X-T4. Within that small body is also an in-body image stabilization system that offers up to six stops of compensation for camera shake.

This APS-C format camera has 26 megapixels on tap, and a phase-detect AF system with Tracking AF for moving subjects and Face/Eye AF. And, of course, it can shoot 4K video, but at up 30fps (instead of 60fps you'll get on flagship models), with limitations on clip lengths. That said, this isn't a professional-level shooter, so there's plenty here for many enthusiasts and hobbyists, including a whopping 20fps burst speed when using the camera's electronic shutter (8fps using its mechanical shutter).

Sacrifices have been made to make it affordable, but not where it truly matters. There's a single card slot, a slightly lower resolution viewfinder as compared to the X-T4, say, and no weather-proofing. 

Did the annual Black Friday rush in November capsize camera shipments in October?

CIPA (the Camera & Imaging Products Association) has released its latest report, providing an overview of digital camera sales and shipments over the past year in comparison with the previous two. Shipments of both interchangeable and lens-integrated cameras were plotted on a graph showing how the market reacted in 2023. 

The health of the digital camera market had been recovering for most of the year, after being decimated during the pandemic. However, CIPA's results show that a major dip in October / November has significantly skewed what would have been an improved and steady year. Could this be an effect of the ever-increasing popularity of Black Friday, and people holding out for better deals? Or were camera manufacturers under so much demand that shipments stalled? 

In April and May 2023, shipments of interchangeable lens cameras were greatly increased over the same period in previous years, before steadying to corresponding levels from June to October. October / November, however, saw a significant decrease. 

This may be a result of Black Friday, a commercial promotion at the end of November aimed at providing the best deals before the holiday season. The dip in shipments could be due to people holding off buying cameras in October and waiting for the perfect Black Friday deal at the end of November. It will be interesting to see the data for December, to see if there was an influx of shipments over the extended Black Friday and Cyber Monday period.

On the other hand, another possibility for the decline is the lack of new releases towards the end of the year. The last major launch was the Fujifilm GFX 100 II in September, and that isn't exactly your everyday consumer camera!

The data shows that fixed (integrated) lens camera shipments appear to have been a lot lower in 2023 than in 2022 and 2021, although they were consistent throughout the year. Fixed-lens models, particularly some of the best compact cameras, have been growing in popularity in recent years, so much so that they have exceeded expectations – and cameras like the Fujifilm X100V are still hard to get. I expect this data to increase over 2024, as fixed lens cameras such as the successors to the X100V and Ricoh GR III are rumored.

Among interchangeable lens cameras, the 86,575 DSLRs shipped were vastly overshadowed by the 415,342 mirrorless cameras. The figures show that DSLR shipments are down a whopping 50%, seeing the fastest growth for mirrorless cameras so far, as the drawn-out death of the DSLR continues.

It is useful to get an insight into how the camera market is behaving, as it provides a gauge of the health of the medium – and to show recovery during a global cost of living crisis is encouraging. With many camera manufacturers rumored to be releasing new models in 2024, I can envision market growth, especially with many of these rumored releases being new flagship models. However, an increase in sales may also mean an increase in shipping times!

This is one of the best savings I've ever seen on a Canon lens – let alone one of the most coveted lenses ever released for the RF mount! 

You can save £912 on the Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L, which is truly unbelievable! Amazon has slashed the lens from £2,589.99 to £1,927.47, but it's eligible for a further £250 off thanks to Canon's Winter Cashback program – making it just £1,677.47, its lowest price ever!

You'll need to be quick, though – Amazon could change the price at any time, and Canon's Winter Cashback offer ends on January 16! 

(Read here for more on camera cashback and how it works, and full details can be found on the Canon website.)

Why is this lens so coveted? I first fell in love with it back in 2018, when I used it at Canon's insane cyberpunk EOS R launch event. Shooting in nightclub-like lighting conditions, its f/1.2 aperture not only ensured great performance and autofocus in limited illumination – it gave that beautiful, blown-out background blur that photographers love (check out a sample from that night below).

On top of that, the signature red ring tells you that this is one of Canon's premium, professional L-series lenses – which means you get tip-top optical engineering as well as weather-sealing. This is a dream lens for any Canon user – and at this price, it's even dreamier!

A few years ago my new year's resolution was to make my photography business more legitimate. I printed business cards, built a website and started creating a more professional online presence. However, the last few years have been tough on everyone; jobs have dwindled and more and more businesses are going for the do-it-yourself approach when it comes to photography. With that in mind, I can't justify splashing out almost £200 to keep my Squarespace site running, so I'm looking into alternatives. 

The thought of building a whole new website from scratch is daunting. It took me ages to build my Squarespace site and create something that not only looked great but reflected who I am as a photographer as well as the services I offer. Squarespace made it easy to design each page, add text boxes, pictures, quotes, videos and even embed my Instagram feed so switching to an alternative isn't an easy decision but it's a necessary one. 

When I first signed up to Squarespace I used my brother's student discount which gave me 50% off plus a free domain for the first year so it worked out at just £108 for the whole year including the domain. Since I opted for the business account it cost £216 in the second year plus £19.20 for the domain. After a quiet year selling prints, I switched back to a personal account in my third year costing me a £175 in total but that's still significantly more than I initially paid. 

I love the look of my Squarespace site, the website builder is easy to navigate, everything comes together quickly and within a few hours, you have a website ready to launch. Even if you've never built or designed a website before, there are lots of templates and page layouts but that's the case with almost all website builders, not just Squarespace – as we covered in How to build a brilliant photo website.

Most of my work comes through existing clients, word of mouth or Instagram which begs the question, why bother having a website at all when Instagram is free? I think having your work neatly organized and displayed on a website makes you seem more legitimate. I can describe who I am, the packages I offer, how much I charge and provide client testimonials. While the number of jobs I get through my website may have decreased, the jobs I have got over the last few years have paid for it so I do think it’s worth having one – I just think it’s time to look for a cheaper often. 

Format and Zenfolio are both currently offering 50% off all plans so you can create a website from as little as $3.50/£2 or $5/£4 respectively when you pay annually. The basic packages are better suited to photographers just starting who don't require huge amounts of storage space, don't need an online store and just need the basic web pages (about section, contact, gallery etc). If your business is more established, a pro or pro plus subscription may be better suited as it gives you access to a personalized email, more storage, a selling platform, plus video hosting. 

I appreciate that after this year the price on both Format and Zenfolio will increase, but the basic Format site will still cost me a lot less than Squarespace. Creating a new website every year isn't an ideal solution but it can save money and a freshly designed website might just bring in a few extra clients!
