The month of June brings a host of discounts thanks to the end-of-financial-year sales. This is when most major retailers in the country discount old stock to make way for new ones, meaning you can find a great deal on a camera or a lens.
According to Australian retailer CameraPro, some of its bestselling kits are from Sony, Canon, Fujifilm and Olympus. That's an interesting mix, with full-frame bodies from the first two and APS-C format models from Fujifilm. Interestingly, OM System's first camera – the recently announced OM-1 – is right there in the mix.
And guess what? All these cameras (and some lenses) are currently discounted.
CameraPro typically has some of the best prices on cameras and lenses in Australia, even at full price. You'll often find their ticket price beats the usual RRPs by at least a hundred bucks, if not more, and the retailer usually does its best to offer better discounts than its competitors. That's the case again, with some of the below offers currently the best prices in Australia.
In addition to looking after they day-to-day functioning of Digital Camera World in Australia, Sharmishta is the Managing Editor (APAC) for TechRadar as well, and helps produce two of Future's photography print magazines Down Under. Her passion for photography started when she was wandering the wilds of India studying monkeys (yes, life took a sharp turn somewhere along the way) and is entirely self-taught. That puts her in the unique position of understanding what a beginner or enthusiast is looking for in a camera or lens, and writes to help those like her on their path to developing their skills or finding the best gear. While she experiments with quite a few genres of photography, her main area of interest is nature photography – wildlife, landscapes and macro. She still prefers an optical viewfinder but is utterly fascinated with what mirrorless technology has been able to achieve.
With an ear to the ground in the Asia-Pacific territory, she is constantly on top of camera news and breaking developments in the Australian region, in addition to sourcing local deals during big retail events like Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday / Cyber Monday.
She’s also a skilled stargazer, always eager to share astrophotography tips such as photographing the blood moon without even using a tripod!
