There are so many exciting products and incredible discounts in the Black Friday camera deals. But here's my number one tip: don't get distracted by bargain bodies and exotic lenses – buy some spare camera batteries!!!

You probably don't need a new lens. You probably need a new camera even less. But I'm pretty sure that what you do need is a spare battery or two – and you may as well get them while they're cheap!
