Everyone is waxing lyrical about the Prime Day camera deals, but here's the thing: some of the best offers right now aren't at Amazon.

Case in point, the EOS M50 from Canon costs $649 at Amazon with a kit lens. At Adorama, though, you can buy the Canon EOS M50 + lens for $649 and get a free Canon EL-100 flash worth $149!

There's a reason that the Canon EOS M50 is one of Canon's most popular cameras: it's compact, capable and a content creation powerhouse. One of the best travel cameras as well as one of the best cameras for vlogging, it comes in a kit with the versatile 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens (a 24-72mm equivalent in full frame terms).

The Canon EL-100 might be the best flashgun for a compact camera like the M50, as it's likewise small but perfectly formed to pair with the sleek body. With 24mm wide-angle coverage, a head that tilts 90° up / 150° to the left / 180° to the right and a maximum Guide Number of 85.3 ft./26m at ISO100 and 50mm, it's ideal for adding supplemental light on the go.
