Camera cashback: how it works and how to get the best deals right now

Camera cashback schemes remain ever popular with manufacturers because it enables them to offer special short-term discounts without driving down the long-term recommended retail price. 

They’re typically seasonal too; so you’ll often see winter, spring and summer promotions – meaning some photo enthusiasts can actively wait to make a purchase during those months in anticipation of saving a few £s. And right now there are some great cashback offers from Sony, Canon, Fujifilm, Olympus and Panasonic running to take into account when looking for the best Black Friday camera deals.

Typically, cashback offers can range from £25 upon purchase of a flashgun or lens to over £500 for a professional camera or a top-grade lens. Generally the higher priced the item to start with, the higher the cashback value to tempt you into a purchase. 

As a consumer, receiving cashback means you have to jump through a couple of hoops to get your saving – usually involving the registering of the equipment you’ve bought online, the completion of a redemption form and the inclusion of proof of purchase (i.e your receipt) – but we’d advise that overall it’s a win-win for you, the retailer, and the manufacturer of the camera, lens or photo accessories in question.

Since Canon not only makes cameras but a host of accessories and peripherals too, including photo printers, it offers pretty much everything you could want for your photo set-up darkroom. 

At the moment, Canon is offering cashback on a wide range of products, including the budget Canon EOS RP and the flagship Canon EOS R3. There are discounts too on a range of RF lenses, and some printers and camcorders. On top of that, some products are eligible for double cashback, including the Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R8

You can read the full terms and conditions on Canon's cashback page, with further details about double cashback on its Black Friday page.

How camera cashback works

When you buy a camera or a lens or any other camera kit with a cashback deal, you still initially pay the price quoted without the cashback discount. 

To get the cashback, you then have to fill in a form to claim it back from the manufacturer in question. All it means is that you don’t get your saving straight away – and you do need to remember to claim it! Claims are typically required within a month of the current cashback scheme ending. 

The application for cashback is usually online, and is obviously well worth the small amount of administrative effort that it takes.

So when you see a deal that includes a cashback offer, remember that you have to claim this back from the photo manufacturer and you don’t get this discount at the checkout. 

The other thing to remember is that cashback offers get rolled out across all authorised dealers. If one of them has a cashback offer from Canon, Sony, Panasonic, Fujifilm or any other maker, you can bet they all have it! Do note however that Amazon UK is very often left out of the list of participating retailers – thankfully the dealers will make it pretty clear if they are in the scheme.

  • IMPORTANT: Do be aware that some retailers will quote prices with the cashback already applied, as if you’ve already claimed it, so check the small print (and the price you actually pay).
  • Other retailers will quote the price you pay at the checkout and put the discounted price with cashback applied in smaller print underneath. 

With the above in mind let’s take investigate the current offers on the table on a range of products from a range of manufacturers…
