This compact camera is a pocket powerhouse! Panasonic's Lumix ZS99 / TZ99 is still reduced for Cyber Monday

james.artaius@futurenet.com (James Artaius) — Tue, 02 Dec 2025 03:08:00 +0000

Everyone wants a compact camera right now, and this is one of the smartest recommendations on the market: the Panasonic Lumix ZS99, which is called the TZ99 in the United Kingdom.

The camera has been discounted in both regions, with a $55 saving in the US and a smaller but still welcome £20 reduction in the UK.

I've no idea how long this Cyber Monday camera deal will hang around, so if it's of interest I recommend adding it to your cart ASAP…

🇺🇸 US deal

This pocket powerhouse packs an equivalent 24-720mm superzoom Leica lens – perfect for everyday, family and travel photography. Its 20.3MP sensor enables you to capture wide-angle street scenes and intimate moments, as well as a telephoto zoom for far-off landmarks or action that's taking place in the distance. It even takes 4K 30p video, and you're supported by 5-axis stabilization to compensate for camera shake. View Deal

Panasonic puts point-and-shoot power in the palm of your hand or your pocket, with the Lumix ZS99 / TZ99 (review) – an update of the company's trusty ZS100 / TZ100 compact camera from a few years ago.

While its small 1/2.3-inch sensor does limit the scope of its image quality, this camera nonetheless delivers very solid 20.3MP photographs (with the option for RAW capture) and 4K 30p or FullHD 60p video. It also offers high-speed video up to 240p, if you ratchet down to 640x480.

The headline feature of the ZS99 / TZ99 is the mammoth 24-720mm equivalent zoom lens, optically engineered by Leica. This gives you a truly ridiculous amount of reach, covering wide-angle landscape vistas all the way to telephoto reach for capturing faraway subjects.

It's backed by a powerful five-axis optical image stabilization system, which compensates for camera shake to keep your photos and video nice and steady – which is utterly essential, when shooting all the way out at 720mm!

Here are some shots that my colleague, Matthew Richards, took while reviewing the camera to give you an idea of what it can do.

Grab the Canon EOS R50 with a huge discount! Perfect for beginners, creators, travel and street photographers

james.artaius@futurenet.com (James Artaius) — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 23:33:17 +0000

Looking for a camera that's compact, creator-friendly, great for beginners and ideal for street and travel photography? You've found it.

One of my favorite cameras, the Canon EOS R50 has now been reduced by $100 in the US and $160 in the UK – and if you want a lens to go with it, the RF 18-45mm kits have also been slashed by $100 in the States and by £200 in Blighty.

You should probably hurry, though – the Cyber Monday camera deals are ending tonight so, as soon as this stock is gone, the prices are likely to go back up to the RRP!

🇺🇸 US deals

The Canon EOS R50 is a perfect camera for beginners, content creators and as a super-small setup for street and travel photography. Its 24.2MP APS-C sensor captures beautiful photographs along with crisp 4K video, boasting Canon's beloved color science and powered by the phenomenal Dual Pixel autofocus system. View Deal

This bundle pairs the compact, capable Canon EOS R50 with the perfect lens to complement it. The Canon RF-S 18-45mm is a collapsible lens that packs down almost as slim as a pancake, to keep your setup super small, then deploys with a twist of the zoom ring ready for shooting. It has a full frame equivalent 29-72mm zoom range that's perfect for everyday, travel and street photography. View Deal

I absolutely love the Canon EOS R50 (review). It's so compact that you can keep it in a sling bag on your shoulder, toss it in a handbag, your hand luggage or your glove compartment. Point being, it's small enough to be a take-anywhere camera that's always by your side.

While it's very compact, it's also highly capable. Its 24.2MP sensor captures glorious photographs – I've used this camera to shoot commissions and magazine work, and the results are just glorious. It can even shoot at 15fps, meaning you can shoot fast action with it as well.

It's also a fantastic video body, capable of recording crisp, clean 4K 30p video – and it's all powered by Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus II, which uses algorithmic detection modes to recognize subjects and track faces and eyes.

It's paired with the super-versatile Canon RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM (review), a lens that's as compact as the camera itself. It has a collapsible mechanism that closes down to keep your entire setup as small as possible, then with a twist of the lens barrel it pops up so you can shoot form the hip in the blink of an eye.

The lens features image stabilization, too (the "IS" in its name), to keep camera shake at bay whether you're taking photographs or capturing video. Here are a few snaps I took with the camera on a quick walk around my local town!

Quietly, while we weren't watching, Kodak has become a major force in photography again. These are the five cameras leading the fightback

chris.george@futurenet.com (Chris George) — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 16:32:43 +0000

Kodak cameras are making a comeback – long after the public though the brand was killed off by the death of film photography and the arrival of digital imaging.

Kodak's revival has been so strong that earlier this year, it was even the biggest selling camera brand in Japan!

The secret to the success is tied to the fact that simple point-and-shoot cameras have also been making a big comeback in the last year or so – and this is what Kodak has been specializing in. As such, Kodak has been one of the few brands that could meet the demand from those who wanted to turn their back on their smartphone cameras – or wanted a fun photo-taking device for parties and such.

The point-and-shoot camera is where Kodak first made its name over one hundred years ago - "You press the shutter, and we do the rest", George Eastman told the world. And the yellow giant is once again using the point-and-shoot approach to rebuild its name.

Nowadays, most of Kodak's best-selling models are low-cost digital ones - but they do sitll make some simple film cameras too. These five models are probably the ones that are popularizing the Kodak name to a new generation of photographers (and some of them are currently discounted for the Black Friday sales).

Launched this year, this is a retro styled compact camera with a fixed wide-angle lens and a flip-up screen designed to help with vlogging and selfies. See our Pixpro C1 review View Deal

Very possibly the best-selling camera of the last couple of years. It offers a point-and-shoot 16MP camera with a built-in 4x optical zoom, that retracts when not in use. See our Kodak FZ45 review View Deal

A step-up model to the FZ55, and almost as popular. The key difference with this one is that it has a slightly longer 5x optical zoom, and offers a rechargeable power pack (the FZ45 uses AA cells). See our Kodak FZ55 review View Deal

New in the shops (and on backorder), so no discount, the Charmera comes on a keyring to attach to your bag. The miniature camera comes in a choice of seven designs, but you don't know which you are getting until you open the box. With a 1.6MP resolution, this novelty camer is designed for fun. See our full Charmera review View Deal

This basic 35mm film camera shoots in half-frame – doubling the number of analog images you get from a roll of film. Comes with a roll of Kodak UltraMax 400 color print film.View Deal

Now I understand that every UK vlogger's wishlist should be topped with this low-cost device...

adam.juniper@futurenet.com (Adam Juniper) — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 10:53:52 +0000

This is just my opinion, sure, but I don't think I'm alone in saying that the world of vlogging has changed a little! Suppose you're looking to get out there and make an impression. In that case, the starting point now shouldn't be lenses, locked-off camera quality and everything a classically trained creator would tell you – it should be about being there, in the moment, yet mysteriously having slightly better-looking video than everyone who just holds their phone in their hands. Here is the solution... A gimbal stabilizer - and I recommend this one from DJI:

Control with gestures or your watch, the Osmo Mobile 7P 3-axis gimbal has a built-in extension rod and tripod, making it easy to capture video nearly anywhere. It acts like a camera operator, and using a powerful magnetic clip, you can pop your phone on and off easily. 10 hours of battery life and it even tracks and follows your movements.View Deal

The thing is, either you (or someone you know) is trying to make it big on TikTok, YouTube shorts, or Instagram – or even one of the more classic horizontal-format platforms – and the way to create video that stands out is likely to be shooting on a phone (most phones, these days, take pretty good 4K video and people edit in the apps that belong to the platform).

My original review of the Osmo Mobile 7P

Where things tend to fall down is that people also hold their phones in their hands and are let down by the length of their arms or other artistic constraints. Wouldn't it be great to be able to put the camera down and have it follow you? Or hold it a little further away and know that any shake and wobble would be compensated so the video looks just a bit more pro (but not so professional that fans woudln't think you authentic... it's a fine line).

Using on the built-in pop out tripod – the detachable sensor unit can track people automatically. (Image credit: Future)

That's what makes this a great gift for the vlogger in your life (even if that's you) – because it can handle so much and it does so with the camera that, frankly, is probably the most convenient for the platform you're trying to break out with.

The files you shoot will go straight to your phone. That's where you edit for TikTok or YouTube shorts.

There is a lot of capacity for growth too, but the investment is relatively low, and the quality jump from hand-held is massive and noticable. It's also noticeable in a funny kind of way, because the video is still shot on a phone, so people will see your work as deeply authentic, yet also perceive that it is of better quality because of the reduced shake. Sure, phones do have software to correct this a little, but this is done digitally, and the result is never as good as when mechanics like this are involved.

It's a simple thing, but it'll also likely make it easier to hold the camera at a more flattering angle to your face. The controls are simple and natural, easily reached with a thumb if you're holding the device, and there is a well-designed app with a tutorial, so it will not be a difficult transition to level up your work, and increase your likes!

I know this LED light is expensive –but it's so good, it might be the last light you ever need to buy

james.artaius@futurenet.com (James Artaius) — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 08:17:00 +0000

Perhaps more than any other variable, including your camera and lens, lighting can make or break an image. And while natural light is all well and good, for truly creative photography and videography you simply need supplemental illumination.

I've used a lot of lights over the years, both for commercial shoots and teaching lighting to photographers. But the best, most adaptable light I've ever used is the Rotolight Aeos 2 Pro.

Not only is it powerful enough to use for stills as well as video, it's also large enough to create soft, flattering, wrapping light. And it's packed with HSI gel packs from professional photographers, as well as special effects from Emmy-winning lighting artists.

(Image credit: James Artaius)

This comes at a cost, though, as the Aeos 2 Pro isn't a cheap light, carrying a price tag of $2,049 / £1,799. However, they've been dramatically discounted in the both the US (to just $1,050) and the UK (down to £849) as part of the Cyber Monday camera deals.

Which is still expensive, I know, but honestly – this light is worth every penny even at twice the price (as in, its regular retail price). I've used it in professional environments as well as for my own portfolio work, and there's just nothing like it.

For starters, I love the way they handle. The full-color touchscreen on the back makes using them as simple as swiping a smartphone; just tap the gel you want, or touch the variable you want to adjust whether it's intensity or temperature, and you can drag sliders to get the lighting to taste. Or use the Rotolight app to literally control it with your smartphone.

(Image credit: James Artaius)

It makes lighting with gels an absolute breeze, especially if you've never shot with them before. Yes, it's an expensive light, but bear in mind that it packs 2,500 filters from Lee and Rosco – so you'll never need to buy physical gels again.

I also love clever technological tricks like Source Match – a one-touch tool that instantly duplicates the dominant light, whether it's standard indoor room lighting or colorful ambient illumination. It makes it incredibly easy to match and amplify the existing light in the room.

And the quality of both the light and the gels is gorgeous. As you can see from my sample photographs, the colors are punchy and vivid while the light remains soft rather than harsh and overpowering. And obviously, because it's constant light, it's perfect for photo and video in equal measure.

You get what you pay for with lighting, but at half price you really are getting so much more than you bargained for.

🇺🇸 US deal

The Aeos 2 Pro can achieve 16.7 million colors and is loaded with 2,500 gels from Lee and Rosco for endless creative possibilities. It also offers high-speed flash for stills, with zero recycle time and 100,00 flashes per charge. This Imagemaker Kit includes the light along with a 95Wh V-lock battery, charger, diffusion dome, yoke and softbag. View Deal

Printers are frustrating. This is the photo printer that I finally fell in love with as a pro photographer – and the price has never been lower

hillary.grigonis@futurenet.com (Hillary K. Grigonis) — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 14:41:46 +0000

Paper jams, weird colors, wonky connectivity – if there’s a piece of tech that’s highest on my Most Frustrating list, it’s printers. That’s exaggerated by the fact that, as a professional photographer, I need something that prints high-quality images with accurate colors. My search for a high-quality printer that doesn’t take up too much office space, however, ended when I found the Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 – and it just dropped to the lowest price I've ever seen.

See all of today's Cyber Monday deals for photographers

What first caught my eye about the Epson EcoTank ET-8550, besides the fact that it’s a printer that’s meant for artists and photographers, is the EcoTank capacity. Ink isn’t cheap, but the ET-8550 uses refillable ink cartridges, and the bottles that are included with the printer actually last quite a while.

While ink is why I wanted to try the ET-8550, print quality is why it has remained in my office for years. Paired with pro-quality printer paper, I get lab-quality results in sizes up to 13x19 inches. I’m a color snob, and I’m always pleased at how closely the colors on the prints match my edits on the screen.

During Cyber Monday, the Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 has dropped to $499 in the US and £491 with cashback in the UK. According to US price tracker camelcamelcamel.com, that’s the lowest US price yet for this printer, while the UK price is also the lowest that I've seen.

The Epson EcoTank ET-8550 is a printer made for photographers and artists, with six color refillable ink tanks and excellent print quality. It's 38% off at Amazon right now.View Deal

The printer is also discounted in the UK, where the price has dropped to £491 when you include a cashback deal.

Amazon UK also has the ET-8550 discounted to £561.75, but there's a £70 cashback that brings the price to £491.75View Deal

But the memes are on to something – printers are often frustrating. Between the paper jams and connectivity issues, printers can be a persnickety bunch. I’ve had relatively few issues with the ET-8550, however. If I haven’t printed in a while, I’ll get some lines on my prints – but all I have to do is run a cleaning cycle (or two) using the troubleshooting on the touchscreen, and then I’m back in business.

Speaking of business, the ET-8550 has a scanner too, so I can scan old photos or make copies. It’s also more than capable of doubling as my office printer for printing out documents, like shipping labels and contracts.

I often recommend the ET-8500 as a more affordable alternative to the ET-8550, a nearly identical printer except for the fact that it only prints up to 8.5x11 inches instead of 13x19. But, the Cyber Monday deal actually makes the better ET-8550 only around $50- more than the option that only prints 8.5x11, so there's a clear winner here. (In the UK, the smaller ET-8500 is only about £32 less, so I still recommend the ET-8550 instead).

This smaller version of the photo printer only prints up to 8.5x11 inch, but it's more affordable and offers similar print quality.View Deal

In the UK, this smaller photo printer is £165 off during Amazon Prime Day sales.View Deal

Fujifilm X-H2S high-speed hybrid camera drops to its lowest price this year

chris.george@futurenet.com (Chris George) — Thu, 01 May 2025 12:32:25 +0000

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.

Fujifilm X-H2S body | ~~was £2,399~~ | now £1,799
Save £500 at Clifton Cameras A fantastic deal on this hybrid camera, with powerful video features makes X-H2S a go-to device – both for hybrid image makers and dedicated motion professionals. View Deal

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.

Just LOOK at some of the crap Amazon tried to sell me over Black Friday / Cyber Monday

james.artaius@futurenet.com (James Artaius) — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 03:39:05 +0000

I've spent the past week knee-deep in searches and promo pages to round up the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday camera deals. As a result, there have been far too many Amazon tabs open in my browser for far too long.

Well, Amazon noticed. And it was obviously very confused. You know how Amazon recommends you more stuff, based on the stuff you've been looking at? Well, I've been looking at such a bizarre and non-sequitur range of camera gear that clearly Amazon thinks I will buy any old crap.

DVDs and instruction manuals for decade-old DSLRs. Editing software on a Windows 98 CD-ROM. A lime green American Idol camera.

I thought I'd seen some junk on the depths of Amazon before, but this took the back alley bric-a-brac to all new levels. Here are the "highlights" of the crap that Amazon recommended to me while I was trying to be a good person and find deals to save you money…

American Idol Digital Camera ($7)

(Image credit: Amazon)

If you've ever wanted a lime green digital camera on a keychain with a tiny American Idol logo on it, this is the camera for you. There's no indication of its specs, though it promises to be able to take stills and video, as well as act as a webcam.

The highlight here is ostensibly the included software that enables you to "put yourself onto the American Idol stage"… but you'll need a Windows XP computer to run said software – or to download your images, as there's no memory card on this camera. Which means, there's no other way to get your files off it.

The description suggests that you "throw it in your pocket and go". I suggest that you throw it in the trash and forget this ever happened.

Nikon School DVD: Fast, Fun & Easy Great Digital Pictures ($6.96)

(Image credit: Amazon)

How quaint, Amazon is recommending me a DVD! And I say that as someone who still buys physical media (so maybe I brought this recommendation on myself). However, perhaps the only thing quainter than Amazon recommending a DVD in 2024 is that it's recommending a DVD designed for the Nikon D40 / D40X, which was launched in 2006.

So, what can I expect from this digital versatile disc for a camera that's approaching two decades old? Well, I'll get 35 minutes of knowledge bombs from National Geographic Traveler photographer Bob Krist (in 16x9 widescreen, no less).

"Bob will lead you through a fun day of shooting while explaining the advantages of the various Digital Vari-Program Modes," threatens the description. Who knew that insomnia could be cured in 35 minutes.

ArcSoft Camera Suite 1.3 ($5.98)

(Image credit: Amazon)

At last, I can say goodbye to my Adobe subscription! Gone are the days of paying through the nose for Creative Cloud – for just six bucks, I can get ArcSoft PhotoImpression and ArcSoft VideoImpression on one handy CD-ROM.

There's a catch, though. Remember how you needed Windows XP to run the software for that American Idol camera? Well, that's positively futuristic compared to this – because ArcSoft Camera Suite 1.3 requires Windows 98SE / Me / 2000. Or Macintosh 9 / X if you're one of those strange people who owns an Apple Macintosh computer.

No time to worry about that, though – Amazon warns me in bold letters that there's "Only 1 left in stock – order soon"…

Nikon D700 User's Manual ($22.99)

(Image credit: Amazon)

Who even knew that Amazon sold camera manuals? Is this why the last camera I bought had the manual missing from the box? Come to think of it, who even knew that camera manuals were worth so much… I should dig all of mine out and make a nice chunk of change!

Still, I've never owned a Nikon D700 (a rather fine full-frame professional DSLR camera that came out in 2008), so maybe I should pick up the manual to see what I was missing out on.

The question is, do I pay $23 bucks for this paper manual, or download the PDF from Nikon for free? Hmm. Well, I did say that I still collect physical media…

Kenko Digital Mini Camera 9300 ($20.95)

(Image credit: Amazon)

Far and away the most intriguing thing Amazon tried to get me to buy was this James Bond-looking watch camera – which I would no doubt have gone bananas over as a kid, though I'm not quite as enamored with its 0.3MP resolution and 320 x 240 video today.

In true 007 fashion, it looks like there's a quick release mechanism to deploy the camera from the wrist strap, take a couple of covert shots and then put it back before you're noticed by SPECTRE or Smirnoff or whoever your arch nemesis is.

Unlike the wretched American Idol camera, this one comes with a USB cable – so you may well be able to transfer your files without having to install ancient software that requires a decades-old operating system. The only thing I can't figure out is that it somehow requires three AAA batteries. How big is this thing?

Olympus Silca-5S Silica Gel ($13.56)

(Image credit: Amazon)

You know sometimes when you buy an expensive piece of electronic equipment, it comes with a little cloth or paper packet of silica gel? Most people dump those straight in the trash. Other people apparently pay 13 bucks to buy them from Olympus / OM System.

It looks like this is intended for owners of underwater camera housings or waterproof cameras – and since I was looking at deals on the latter, I guess this is how the Amazon algorithm decided that I need a bag of silica sachets.

In case you're curious, these packets of dessicant are drying agents used to prevent moisture – so they're obviously ideal for kit that's designed to be used in water. However, as someone who always keeps his packets of silica gel, this is 13 bucks that Amazon won't be getting from me.

Minolta Background Priority Card ($12.95)

(Image credit: Amazon)

In fairness, this thing is actually pretty fascinating. Back in 1988, Minolta introduced the Maxxum 7000i – an innovative film SLR that introduced the concept of Creative Expansion Cards, which could be inserted into the camera to power special shooting functions.

Some of these were quite clever, such as the Exposure Bracketing and Intervalometer cards, along with truly creative cards like Fantasy that shifted focus during exposure to combine a misty soft focus effect with zoom-like effect.

This Background Priority card is a little less interesting, enabling the camera to maintain background sharpness if the focal length or distance changes. However, this Expansion Card feature is pretty ingenious for a camera from 1988 – and makes me miss the glory days of Minolta.

What are people buying for Cyber Monday? These are the top 5 cameras at Amazon UK right now

james.artaius@futurenet.com (James Artaius) — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 05:07:55 +0000

With such a whirlwind of discounts since Black Friday season started, I'm really interested to see what people are actually buying as the Cyber Monday camera deals hit full swing.

I'm looking at the Amazon mirrorless sales chart, but it should be noted that the Kodak FZ45 and Kodak FZ55 are both way ahead of everything else in terms of sales – people really can't get enough of these mediocre compacts, for whatever reason.

That aside, the key takeaway here is that Sony is absolutely dominating, with four of the top five sellers. And what's really interesting to me is that the top to cameras are the Sony ZV-E10 and ZV-1 – two of the best cameras for vlogging.

Is this because both cameras are relatively affordable, or because people are getting into content creation at an even faster rate than we thought?

Anyway, here's the full top five:

A great deal for anyone looking to get into vlogging, Sony's compact content creation camera comes bundled with the similarly small Power Zoom lens for maximum versatility.View Deal

This compact camera is made for super easy content creation. Its 24-70mm f/1.8 Zeiss lens is top tier, but the fact that this camera has a "blur background" button tells the story. View Deal

The entry-level R100 with the RF-S 18-45mm lens is the top seller right now, and for good reason – this is unbelievably good value for beginners and budget-conscious buyers. View Deal

Still going strong half a decade after it launched, the A6400 remains a super popular everyman camera – particularly with Sony's omnipresent 16-50mm Power Zoom kit lens. View Deal

The only full frame camera on this list, I'm very surprised to see the A7 IV beat out the A7 III that usually camps out in this spot every year. Has the torch finally been passed? View Deal

It's times like this that it really hits home just how much of the market Nikon has lost to everyone else; Nikon doesn't even crack the top 30 (the Nikon Z30 comes in at 31), while both Fujifilm (at 23 with the X-M5) and Panasonic (with the Lumix S5 II at 30) managed to make it.

Speaking to the EOS R100, Canon clearly knows what customers want – even if it's a product that pundits thumb their nose at. I can't tell you the number of "experts" who've dumped on this camera (which is one I've always championed), but it's exactly what a certain segment of the market wants, needs, and is clearly buying in huge quantities.

Remember, kids: just because someone on the internet says a camera is terrible and that Canon doesn't know what it's doing, doesn't make it so. Chances are that Canon knows the market pretty well.

It's a shame you're not hardcore enough for this DSLR – it's £300 off for Cyber Monday

james.artaius@futurenet.com (James Artaius) — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 23:29:06 +0000

There are some cameras that, if someone sees you using them, they know you're a photographer who means business. This is one of those cameras – and it's one of the best Cyber Monday camera deals I've seen, being discounted by £300.

The mighty Pentax K-3 Mark III Monochrome is just £1,949 right now. This camera spends a lot of time on the backorder list, so it won't be around at this price for long!

This camera only shoots black-and-white, and the black-and-whites it shoots are just jaw-dropping thanks to its dedicated 25.73 MP monochrome APS-C sensor. It also has 5.5 stops of image stabilization and a maximum ISO of 1.6 million!View Deal

One of the best cameras for black-and-white photography, the Pentax K-3 Mark III Monochrome only shoots mono images – making it the most hardcore DSLR camera you can buy.

Its 25.73MP APS-C monochrome sensor has been fine-tuned to deliver black-and-white images with levels of rich gradation and extra-fine sharpness that aren't possible with a color sensor.

While the camera might seem "restricted" in this sense, there is nothing held back in terms of its technology. The back-illuminated sensor has a maximum sensitivity of ISO 1.6 million, for supreme shooting ability.

And it lacks an anti-aliasing filter to deliver the finest levels of detail – though an AA filter effect can be achieved to suppress moiré using the in-body image stabilization system, which also provides 5.5 stops of shake compensation.

This camera means business like no other – its only rivals are the Leica M11 Monochrom and Phase One IQ4, both of which cost thousands more even without the Cyber Monday sale. So, at this price, the K-3 Mark III Monochrome is an even better bargain than ever!

Bloody hell –get a full frame Canon camera for just £792 for Cyber Monday

james.artaius@futurenet.com (James Artaius) — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 02:08:49 +0000

If you've been looking to make the jump to mirrorless and / or the jump to full-frame photography, I think I've found the best Cyber Monday camera deal for you!

The rather wonderful Canon EOS RP is currently just £792 – a huge £257.99 saving. Getting a full-frame mirrorless camera for under a grand is an amazing deal – and my advice is to use the cash you save to grab one of Canon's affordable RF primes, which I'll recommend below…

Combining a 26.2MP full frame sensor with Canon's most svelte full frame body, the RP is a portable and powerful camera with accurate autofocus, a fully articulating touchscreen and a great range of lenses to choose from.
You must tick the "Apply £100 voucher" box underneath the "Black Friday Deal" price to get the full savingView Deal

I think the Canon EOS RP (review) might be the coolest member of the EOS R family. It's a few years old now, but it's still one of my favorite bodies to shoot with!

It's the slimmest of Canon's full-frame cameras, making it ideal for stills shooters who want to stay nimble and responsive. And if you're upgrading from an APS-C system, this is a full-frame body that won't feel massive in your hands – not something I can say for many full-frame cameras these days.

The RP's 26.2MP image sensor records beautiful images. Its 5fps burst mode isn't really intended for fast action, but it's useful for capturing the decisive moment in street photography or getting great shots of your kids playing. The autofocus system is nice and accurate, too, with functions like Eye AF to help you nail your shots.

If you're going to shoot a lot of video then this may not be the camera for you; 4K video drops phase detect for contrast-based autofocus, and it also suffers a 1.6x crop. However, as a pure stills camera, I love the RP – and it pairs perfectly with Canon's pocket-sized and wallet-friendly primes.

With the money you save on the body, I would recommend picking up either the RF 50mm f/1.8 that's fantastic for all-purpose photography (and is currently a bargain at just £135) or the super-slim RF 28mm f/2.8 pancake lens, which is great for things like street photography and landscapes (and is just £275 right now).

Take a look at the best Canon RF lenses, and don't forget that you can also use the best Canon lenses for DSLRs via an affordable add-on adapter. Check out the best Canon Cyber Monday deals for more great offers!

This is the Cyber Monday deal I've been waiting for… Polaroid's absurdly priced camera is now affordable!

james.artaius@futurenet.com (James Artaius) — Sat, 30 Nov 2024 23:29:32 +0000

I've always wanted this absurdly expensive Polaroid but could never justify it. Thanks to this Cyber Monday camera deal, though, now I can actually afford it!

The Polaroid I-2 is the best instant camera I've ever used but it's hilariously overpriced. However, it has been slashed by $200 / £200 if you buy directly from the manufacturer – and if you become a Polaroid Member (which is free) you can save up to $256 / £256!

The I-2 is the most formidable instant camera on the market. Its glass lens is the sharpest Polaroid has ever made, and it boasts full manual exposure controls along with a cutting edge LiDAR autofocus system. (Price is $399.99 if you opt not to become a Member.) View Deal

For top-quality creative or professional work, the I-2 is unbeatable (in fact, it even accepts SX-70 – Polaroid's best film). If you want to get shooting straight away, this Starter Set comes with a pack of Color i-Type Film. (Price is $414.99 if you opt not to become a Member.) View Deal

Why is the Polaroid I-2 (review) so expensive? Because it's the finest instant camera on the market… in fact, I think it's the best instant camera that's ever been made. Yes, that includes the SX-70 and Spectra.

It's been designed for tip-top shooters who need the best quality that Polaroid can deliver. It's the company's first ever fully manual exposure camera, and even features an aperture ring on the lens. And that lens is not only made of glass, it's also the sharpest that Polaroid has ever made.

When it comes to creative potential, the lens has a fast f/8 aperture, a filter thread to mount attachments, and a flash sync port so that you can incorporate strobes and studio lighting. In addition to i-Type and 600 film, the I-2 also accepts SX-70 film – the best quality stock that Polaroid makes, boasting the lowest ASA, finest grain and richest contrast. In short, if you're serious about instant photography, this is the camera for you.

I love shooting with this camera but, at 600 bucks full price, it's too rich for my blood. However, at almost half price for Cyber Monday, all of a sudden I can slap this on my credit card and not feel too bad about it!

Why the hell is this camera so popular? Beats me, but it is –and it's still on sale for Cyber Monday

james.artaius@futurenet.com (James Artaius) — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 04:21:05 +0000

I've seen all manner of things discounted since Black Friday, including one of the most perplexing cameras you can buy – and buy it people are, in droves. No doubt even more will be buying it, since it's still among the Cyber Monday camera deals.

The thing is, I can't understand why this compact camera keeps on selling so well. But hey, if you're one of the many people who apparently want one, the Kodak Pixpro FZ45 has been discounted in both the US and UK.

A back-to-basics camera aimed at beginners, budget buyers and Gen Zers, the FZ45 packs a 27-105mm focal range and a pop-up flash, with a simple menu system and a 2.7-inch screen – and it even has 63MB of internal memory. View Deal

As you may have guessed, specs are a little on the lo-fi side, though the photos produced by the 1/2.3-inch, 16.35MP BSI CMOS sensor are highly sought after by TikTokers – and it can take FullHD videos at up to 30p, too. View Deal

As someone who has purchased my fair share of weird, low-tech cameras, I'm not going to judge anyone who's been scoping out the Kodak Pixpro FZ45 (review).

That said, I feel I should point out that cameras like the Instax Mini LiPlay are only about $40 / £30 more – and that's a much better buy because as well as being a digital camera, it's also an instant camera that uses Instax film, and it's an instant printer as well (turning any picture on your phone into an Instax photo). But hey, you do you.

"The Kodak PixPro FZ45 works well for snapshots, especially in situations like beach holidays and other occasions where you want to travel light, or not risk using an expensive camera," said my colleague Matthew in his review.

"Naturally, the image quality and all-round performance don’t compete with expensive cameras but the Kodak is a bit of fun at a very affordable price."

The 7 best sub-£50 Cyber Monday deals for photographers

sebastian.oakley@futurenet.com (Sebastian Oakley) — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 17:13:01 +0000

As the drone expert, people ask me what drones to get the kids for Christmas. This is what I tell them...

adam.juniper@futurenet.com (Adam Juniper) — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 14:05:21 +0000

It's Cyber Monday, a last few hours in which you can grab the remaining good Black Friday deals out there. Some companies have already snatched them away, or they have been sold out, but luckily in the world of great drones for the holidays – and Christmas giving – the big names are keeping their discounts going until the end of today.

Three of those deals represent one of the best choices for kids this season, the Holy Stone HS280. This drone won't produce amazing slick video or photos because the camera is attached to the body, but it does still have a camera. And it also has a good-quality folding airframe which feels a bit more grown-up than the price suggests. The controller, on the other hand, feels nicely robust and – so long as you use it where it isn't too windy – it should serve you well.

Holy Stone HS280 | ~~was £94.99~~ | now £71.24
Save £23 at Amazon With a built-in camera and bundled with two batteries and a rugged-feeling controller, this is a great toy drone. The design aesthetic is sumptuous, and kids can pick it up as easy as a game. Apply 15% promo and 10% Voucher to get this price.View Deal

If you've got a bit more cash available, and want to give the kids something which they can achieve quality video with, then the Potensic Atom drones have really impressed me this year. They offer two versions – a cheaper one (called Atom SE) with a camera fixed to the body that vibrates and turns with it, and a more expensive alternative with a gimbal (a mechanism that stabilizes the camera for smooth video). Both are great, but the later might be perfect for budding creatives:

Potensic Atom SE | ~~was £249.99~~ | now £229.49
Save £20 at Amazon This drone is under 249g, so there is no need to register, but it boasts 4K video capture, GPS and electronic image stabilization. The battery gives 31-minutes flight and it has up to 4km / 2.5 miles range with a live view on your phone screen and a real controller with phone grip.View Deal

Potensic Atom Fly More Combo | ~~was £369.99~~ | now £329
Save £40 at Amazon This drone comes with high-end features including 4K video capture, GPS and a three-axis gimbal for stable footage. This Fly More Combo adds a carry case and a parallel charger that can charge three batteries at once, meaning your drone need never be out of the sky for long. Apply £40 voucher to get this price.View Deal

Finally I think it's worth mentioning a couple of drones from the market leader in this round-up – their entry-level drone simply because (which it is priced to be a 'main present') it is the most reasonably priced. The other is the Avata FPV which is a different kind of drone flying – a sensible, older kid wears goggles like VR glasses and effectively stands in the cockpit of the drone. This is often a social activity (usually a friend keeps an eye on the sky for safety, and they take turns to fly).

DJI Mini 2 SE| ~~was £309~~ | now £259
Save £50 at Amazon The Mini 2 SE comes with a robust controller and boasts a good quality 2.7K camera with gimbal for stable video, plus cool automated flights that create amazing shareable video.View Deal

DJI Avata Explorer Combo | ~~was £1,099~~ | now £759
Save £340 at Amazon This is a stellar deal on DJI's best-selling FPV drone - this bundle comes with the Integra goggles and the RC Motion 2 wireless joystick. View Deal

Although it's not got a camera, it is worth mentioning that the indoor drone experience can be had for not much more than a couple of premium beers. Look for bundles like this with three batteries as drones like this last for a very few miniutes and you and the kids will be fighting over those precious seconds of play!

Holy Stone HS210 | ~~was £46.99~~ | now £31.44
Save £15 at Amazon This is a bare-bones experience, a tiny indoor toy, but thanks to the whoop-like frame design (it's an industry term!) the blades are protected from any nasty mishaps. Battery swapping, however, does need a little caution. Remember to apply the 15%off voucher to get this priceView Deal

Sadly another drone I usually like to recommend, but is this year getting a bit hard to find, is the Ryze Tello. This isn't a new drone, but because it was made in partnership between market leader DJI (who generally reserve their tech for more expensive drones) and chip-maker Intel (who have more concern than many companies for good software and educational possibilities). If you see it out there, it's a good drone, but I've only seen it for full price this year. There are others to check on our guide to the best drones for kids or best drones for beginners.

DJI Tello Ryze | $99
Buy at Amazon (no discount) This is the perfect drone for kids or total beginners that want to see what flying and using a drone is like with very little cash down to get involved. With tech from the world leader in drones and simple safety features in the frame this is a good quality way to take off and explore the skies safely.

Cyber Monday Canon lens deals are here - I select my top 5!

hannah.rooke@futurenet.com (Hannah Rooke) — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 14:54:24 +0000

It's been a weekend full of money-saving deals and we've been working non-stop to bring you the best of them. With Cyber Monday just around the corner, there are still plenty of opportunities to save yourself a pretty penny on camera equipment!

Thanks to Canon's Double Cashback and Lens Reward promotion, some of its top-of-range lenses have up to £700 off including the impressive Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 L USM lens.

Whether you're already the proud owner of a Canon camera, have recently purchased one and are looking to expand your lens collection or are holding off making the purchase as you don't know which lens (or lenses) to buy we are here to help you! I am terrible at decision-making - especially when it comes to spending lots of money but sometimes you see a deal that makes that decision for you.

Best 70-200mm

Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L | ~~was £2,999~~ | now £1,999.10
Save £1000 at Park Cameras (with voucher code and Canon double cashback) Confession: I hated 70-200 lenses before using this, but it's just so compact at 146mm long that I barely noticed it on the front of my camera! This 70-200mm is a true walkabout lens. To receive this price, apply the voucher code CANON-10 at checkout and claim Canon Cashback after purchase.

This could just be the best 70-200mm lens ever?! While telephoto zooms at f/2.8 are notoriusly heavy, this is so light and compact you could spend a whole day shooting without being too uncomfortable. It's an incredibly versatile lens suited to landscapes, wildlife, portrait or even event photography. The one downside to this lens is that it is just so expensive - but with a £700 saving right now, it makes it that little bit more affordable.

Best for street photography

Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM| ~~was £219.99~~ | now £175.37
Save 20% at Amazon The classic nifty fifty is probably one of the most popular lenses in the world adored by digital and analog photographers. Canon's RF mount version is small, lightweight, incredibly sharp and now even more affordable.

A fast, 50mm prime lens is an absolute must-have for any street photographer but it also works great as a portrait lens too. For lots of people, a 50mm lens will be the first lens with an f/1.8 aperture they own - or at least it was for me and it absolutely transformed my photography. Finally, I was able to take shots with silky smooth blurred backgrounds, sharp in-focus areas and beautiful round bokeh.

Most versatile

Canon RF 100-500mm | ~~was £2,939~~ | now £1,881.10
Save £897 at Park Cameras (with voucher code and Canon double cashback) The sheer versatility offered by this lens is something to behold, and it's matched by both build and image quality in spades. A truly super super-telephoto zoom! To receive this price, apply the voucher code CANON-10 at checkout and claim Canon Cashback after purchase.

If you're one of those photographers who like to dabble in lots of different genres of photography, this could be the perfect lens for you. At the wide end, you could just about use it for portraits (although it may look a little odd) but would be great for focussed landscape shots too. At the wide end, it's better suited to bird and wildlife photography or aviation photography (basically anything that's really far away). Not only can you take advantage of Canon's double cashback, you can get an extra £160 off too!

Best wide-angle zoom

Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L | ~~was £2,599~~ | now £1,839.10
Save £500 at Park Cameras (with voucher code and Canon double cashback) Even wider than the EF version that it replaces, this wide-angle trinity lens may be the best optical performer of the bunch. Perfect for architecture, landscapes, events, and interiors. View Deal

Yes it's big, and yes it's heavy but you cannot beat the image quality of this wide-angle zoom. It's part of Canon's holy trinity of lenses (which also includes the RF 24-70mm and the RF 70-200mm f/2.8) and for good reason - with minimal barrel distortion, image stabilization and low color fringing levels, you won't have to make many edits to your image.

Best standard zoom

Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L | ~~was £2,519~~ | now £1,767.10
Save £751 at Park Cameras (with voucher code and Canon double cashback) The workhorse lens that every pro needs, and every enthusiast drools over! This standard zoom covers all the bases and will be welded to the front of your camera. To receive this price, apply the voucher code CANON-10 at checkout and claim Canon Cashback after purchase.View Deal

The Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L is the true standard mid-range zoom. The Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 variant might appeal to those trying to break away from the mold but this focal range will always be one of my favourites. Even though I shoot with Canon, I've had a go with this lens and it's incredibly fast, delivers stunning images and if I owned it, it'd probably never leave my camera.

Cyber Monday swamps us with security camera deals, but these are the ones I'd actually buy

adam.juniper@futurenet.com (Adam Juniper) — Sat, 25 Nov 2023 10:03:59 +0000

One of the great things about Black Friday and Cyber Monday is the number of special offers on smart home security cameras, but drill down and there are a couple of concerns about those deals.

Firstly if you're buying from the world's largest online retailer, Amazon, then there is just a hint of unfair bias since Amazon own two of the biggest brands in the market, Blink and Ring. These companies both produce good quality products with their own distinct slant (though it won't surprise you to learn that both prioritise Alexa compatibility in their feature lists!)

Secondly, like so much else, smart home cameras come with two costs – the cost of acquisition and the running cost; most (but not all) require a subscription service to get the best of the feature set available including, crucially, recording incursions onto your property.

With these two considerations in mind, I found myself thinking, what security cameras would I look to pick up this Black Friday to keep my own home safe and – ideally – to avoid setting myself a long-running financial trap. Personally I'd rather spend a bit more on day one than keep spending a monthly fee.

The pay-once route

Just the other day, a neighbor of mine visited and asked me if he could see a recording from my smart camera because his car, parked a few doors down, had been stolen. I had to apologise and explain that, unless someone came onto my property, the camera didn't actually record the incident.

This is normal with smart home systems, which are activated by nearby motion, record for a few seconds, and then go quiet for a spell to save power (even if something is happening). With a 'proper' system with a base station, like the EufyCam S330 below, you can choose to record as much as you want and the cameras are 4K because it's your own data network – your wi-fi – rather than a paid-for subscription happening on the cheap.

EufyCam S330 2-Cam Kit | ~~was £499.99~~ | now £369.99
SAVE £130 at Amazon This 4K security system works day and night and, thanks to built-in solar panels, can be installed with forever power without drilling cables through walls. The base station has 16GB storage, expandable to 16TB, so no subscription is needed.View Deal

Eufy also offer a number of other elements which can work with this system or alone, like their eufy Security Floodlight Cam with 360-degree pan and tit camera.

eufy Security Floodlight Cam S330 | ~~was £279.99~~ | now £189.99
SAVE £90 at Amazon 360° Pan and Tilt Camera Coverage – remotely pan the lens 360° horizontally to get a complete view without the risk of blindspots, 2K Full HD video.View Deal

The pay-or-not option

As mentioned, the Amazon-owned services come out in force over the Black Friday / Cyber Monday period with bundle deals, and one of the most cost-effective is a Blink Outdoor bundle.

These cameras are designed to work their best with a subscription, which for unlimited cameras is $10 a month, but you can buy an additional device called a Blink Wireless Sync Module which lets you record locally instead. It doesn't have all the smarts, and is seemingly deliberately less elegant (there are no animated icons in the app), but it is interesting to have a buy-out clause from the subscription!

Blink Outdoor x 4 + Sync Module | ~~was £274.99~~ | now £123.99
SAVE £151 at Amazon The Blink outdoor camera is powered by replaceable lithium batteries that last about 2 years, plus you get one indoor plug-in camera. All you could need to cover a home!View Deal

Black Friday FAQs

What is Black Friday?

The modern meaning of Black Friday began in the US during the 1970s, denoting the Friday after Thanksgiving, which marks the beginning of the busy Christmas shopping season. More retailers started to use Black Friday to launch sales, with some dramatic discounts available to savvy shoppers. In the last 10 years or so, Black Friday has spread beyond the US to become a near-global phenomenon.

Even with other promotions and sales during the year, such as Amazon Prime Day, the weeks leading into Black Friday are always a great time to find the best bargains.

When is Black Friday 2024?

This year, the official Black Friday weekend takes place from Friday 29 November through to Monday 2 December 2024 (Cyber Monday), and that's when we expect to see the bulk of the best camera deals. However, there will be some great offers available before and after this weekend – which we will be monitoring from now through to the New Year.

What is Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday is a later invention that brings attention to exclusively online deals.

When do the best Black Friday deals begin?

They’ve already started! Our Black Friday Deal Guides detail the amazing camera, lens and photo accessory deals that are available right now. We will keep adding to the list when we see notable discounts.

How do I know it’s a great deal?

While some of the deals we find can discount by 40 or 50%, others are much smaller. That’s because the product has recently been on sale at a low price – it’s just that, right now, it’s even lower!

Our deals experts monitor prices across a wide range of products throughout the year, so you can be confident that if we mention it here, it’s a good deal.

Should I buy now or wait for a better price nearer Black Friday?

If you like the deal that’s available now, we’d always recommend going ahead and buying. While it’s always possible that the price can drop further, there are no guarantees – and you could find that popular items are sold out before you get your chance.

Binocular FAQs

What do the numbers, such as 8x42 and 12x50, mean on binoculars?

Binoculars have lots of different specs, but two key ones are best to focus on if you want to keep things simple. These are magnification and lens size.

Most binoculars will list both in their name. When you're browsing for binoculars, you'll quickly notice that their names tend to include something like "10x20" or "6x30". These two numbers refer respectively to the magnification factor and the size of the lenses. So in this example, we've got binoculars with 10x magnification and 6x magnification. You might think it'd be a matter of picking the binoculars with the largest magnification, but in practicality, it limits your field of view, which can make things harder to spot or follow. With higher magnifications, you are more likely to need a tripod or built-in image stabilization.

The second number refers to the objective lens size. A larger lens will make the image brighter and clearer, especially in low light, but will also make the binoculars bigger and heavier (and probably more expensive). This means that for your hobby or subject, it's worth thinking about what the best combination of magnification of objective lens size will work for you.

To work out how bright a pair of binoculars is - and its suitability for use in lowlight – you need to divide the second number by the first - this gives you what is the "exit pupil size". For a pair of 10x20 binoculars, the exit pupil is 2 – and for a pair of 6x30 binos it is 5. Look for an exit pupil of five or greater if you want to use them on dull days, or at dusk.

I'm a professional portrait photographer, and these are my top 5 Cyber Monday lighting deals to kickstart your portrait career!

kalum.carter@futurenet.com (Kalum Carter) — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 10:21:34 +0000

Black Friday deals have been flowing in thick and fast, with huge discounts on the Black Friday camera deals and now Cyber Monday has arrived! Lighting is an area that sometimes gets overlooked, but there are some great deals to be found if you know where to look!

Having the best lighting kit is a staple for portrait photography, and since utilizing it in my practice, it has leveled up my photographs. Being able to control lighting in the studio and on location is vital, and I have picked out 5 top lighting deals that offer both continuous and flash, to cover both photography and video.

See the deals below!

Godox AD600 Pro | ~~was £829~~| now £713
Save £100 at Amazon This flash is a personal favorite of mine, I used it extensively over the past three years to capture portraits and fashion assignments, both in the studio and on location. This powerful flash has HSS and the ability to overpower the sun even on the brightest day. Built-in Godox 2.4G Wireless X System is easy to use when coupled with XPro and X1 series TTL wireless flash triggers.View Deal

Save £500 at Wex These well-respected Profoto lights are ideal for content creators and photographers in need of a lightweight kit that packs a huge punch! As well as being an exceptional strobe light, it also provides high performance as an off-camera video light. The Profoto B10X Plus supports a smooth creative workflow in the studio, on set, and out on location.View Deal

If you see a deal you like, don't waste any time as stocks may start to run low!

Lighting, unlike cameras and lenses, does not update very frequently and therefore holds its value for a lot longer. I have had my lighting kit for years, and it still produces the same quality as when I bought it new. It certainly is an investment, but one that will improve your images and pay off in the long run.

Save £999 with this red-hot Fujifilm X-H2S Cyber Monday deal (with free £399 grip)

chris.george@futurenet.com (Chris George) — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 14:58:33 +0000

The Cyber Monday camera deals are coming thick and fast now – but this price drop from Jessops is one that stopped us in our tracks. There have not been that many deals on Fujifilm's X range of mirrorless cameras up until this morning - when we started to see some decent discounts coming through. And then we saw these ones...

Jessops has not just knocked a further £100 off the Fujifilm X-H2S and the Fujifilm X-H2 (in line with some other stores), it is also throwing in a free Fujifilm VBG-XH Battery Grip worth £399.

The biggest saving comes with the more expensive X-H2S - where you get a £300 discount PLUS an additional £300 cashback direct from Fujifilm AND the bonus of a vertical grip worth £399. A total saving of £999. And effectively yours for just £1,799 body only,

Fujifilm X-H2 + battery grip | ~~was £1,879~~ | now £1,679
Save £200 at Jessops including cashback The highly regarded APS-C hybrid camera comes equipped with a 40.2 MP sensor, capturing fine detail and exceptional image quality. 8K video can be captured with 12-bit Apple ProRes RAW. For a small camera, it sure packs an almighty punch! FREE Fujifilm VBG-XH Battery Grip worth £399 added to your orderView Deal

Fujifilm X-H2S body | ~~was £2,399~~ | now £1,799
Save over £500 at Jessops including £300 cashback A fantastic deal on this hybrid camera, with powerful video features makes X-H2S a go-to device – both for hybrid image makers and dedicated motion professionals. FREE Fujifilm VBG-XH Battery Grip worth £399 added to your orderView Deal

Update: Both of these deals are now also available at Wex Photo and Park Cameras

The more affordable Fujifilm X-H2 comes with a discount of £100, and a £100 Fujfilm discount, plus the free £399 grip - so still a sizable £599 worth of savings.

The deals are so good, the only question a Fujfilm fan needs to ask is which to go for? 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.

Fujifilm itself talks about the X-H2S appealing to those that 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.

If you want to upgrade to any of these cameras and you've been waiting for when the price is right, and they are in stock, I'd jump at them now, rather than waiting for a possible further discount, and missing out on your dream camera - or having a long wait until it is back in stock.

This highly-rated VTech kids camera is a bargain gift for budding photographers on Cyber Monday

chris.george@futurenet.com (Chris George) — Fri, 17 Nov 2023 08:45:05 +0000

Amazon has started its Cyber Monday camera deals - and there are some great discounts on offer for the photographer. But we love this offer - as it is designed for toddlers, the photographers of tomorrow!

This discount on the VTech Kidizoom Duo 5.0 is one that could keep a child in your family happy this Christmas - and save you some money, as this is the best price we have seen on this kid-friendly digital camera. For just £37.49 at Amazon, it is well under the recommended retail price of £64.99 - and lower than at other stores that stock it.

VTech Kidizoom Duo 5.0 | ~~was £64.99~~ | now £37.49
Save £27 at Amazon This is one of the best cameras for kids and is now available at one of the lowest prices we have seen this for. Suitable for ages 3-9, this could make a great gift for someone in the family. There are two color options: this version is pink with purple accents.View Deal

VTech Kidizoom Duo 5.0 | ~~was £64.99~~ | now £37.49
Save £27 at Amazon This is the blue-and-orange version of the same camera - for those who don't fancy the pink option.View Deal

Based on our extensive VTech KidiZoom Duo 5.0 review we were impressed by the camera's capabilities, noting how it was built to last, and designed that even a pre-school child can use it was only minimal tuition. VTech bills this is a camera suitable for 3-9 year olds - but its toy-like build probably means that seven is the maximum age we'd recommend it for.

You get a 5-megapixel camera with enough internal memory to shoot 200 stills - and if you want more capacity, there is the option to get a microSD card. There is a selfie camera too - although this is restricted to 640x480-pixel resolution. It can also shoot video, and has some built-in games and effects to add to the fun.

This is last year's iPhone model, but all that much has changed for the newer iPhone 15 model, and in my opinion, the iPhone 14 is just as good of a buy, with its excellent dual camera system, and Apple's speedy processors for low-light photography and on-device AI smarts.View Deal

iPhone 13 (128GB) | ~~was £599~~ | now £549
SAVE £50 at John Lewis
This might be a few generations old now, but Apple's phones have a long lifespan with several years of guaranteed software updates, the iPhone 13 still has plenty of use left in it. With an additional discount, this puts it near the price territory of the iPhone SE, which can't hold a candle to the iPhone 13's more premium screen and cameras.View Deal

When is Black Friday?

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, and this year falls on Friday, November 24, 2023. This has become the major online sale each year, as many Americans have the day off, and use this for shopping. For many people it is often the last payday before Christmas - so the day that they have the money to buy gifts. Cyber Monday falls on the following Monday, and this year is on November 27.

Amazing Cyber Monday drone deals from DJI and others

adam.juniper@futurenet.com (Adam Juniper) — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 14:28:44 +0000

If you're after a new drone for yourself, or as a gift, then now is the the time to start looking. Whether you are a newbie or a seasoned flyer, we spotted some great drone deals over Black Friday, and many of these are still available on Cyber Monday - and in some cases the prices have gone down.

We'll be keeping our eyes open, but here are my current favorite drone deals in the US and the UK...

Updated December 2: Updated prices and checked stock on all products, and new deals added.

Black Friday drone deals in USA

🇺🇸 Top US retailers:

Amazon: Cheap prices on camera gear
DJI: up to 30% off DJI drones and accessories
Adorama: Big discounts on cameras and tech
Walmart: DSLR, Mirrorless & action cameras
B&H Photo Video: Deals on camera brands
Best Buy: Save on TVs, laptops, appliances

New for 2024, the DJI Neo is safe for the kids and smart enough to follow people around without being told what to do with a remote control. Don't worry though; you can buy a remote (though you don't get it with the $199 edition). That means, when you're ready, you can still do the whole old-school drone piloting if you like! (And you already know what the next gift request will be!)View Deal

Save $60 at Amazon This brilliant lightweight drone is capable of capturing 4K video, so you can be sure of capturing amazing aerial footage. Also shoots RAW & Panoramas!View Deal

Save $90 The Mini 3 is a 4K drone which (if you can steer it around tres yourself) produces excellent video through its 3-axis gimbal, and DJI is slashing prices for Black Friday!View Deal

Save $90 at Amazon This brilliant lightweight drone, capable of capturing 4K video, is here supplied in a Fly More bundle, with a total of three batteries (90 minutes of flight), a charging hub, robust controller, and a quality bag.View Deal

Save $130 Pick up this older FPV model with a decent discount (although you will also have to budget for goggles to get you set up for first-person flying).View Deal

Save $640 OK, there is now an Avata 2 but this is still a blazing fast 4K drone with a stabilized digital camera and an innovative, natural FPV control system. The "Cinewhoop" frame style makes the drone able to move and turn fast while still capturing stunning footage AND protecting the propellors (and people from them). Stunningly low 30ms latency.View Deal

OK, the new Air 3S has been around a month now, if you can find it, but that means the also brilliant Air 3 (see review) dual-camera drone, only released in mid-2023, is already cheaper! If most of your flying is in daylight, many of the new features of the 3S may not be immediately useful anyway – making this a very sensible choice given the deals!View Deal

Save $43.99 using on-page 30% voucher Get into FPV drone flight with this entry-level model from Holy Stone suitable for beginners and kids. With 1080p footage and an included control and carry case, you have all you need to take to the skies. Apply the on-page 30%-off voucher to get this price. Discounted price shown during checkoutView Deal

Save $70 The Atom SE drone dispenses with a mechanical gimbal and stabilizes the camera using digital stabilization (like a GoPro-style camera), but it's surprisingly effective (see our Atom SE review), and the software and hardware are surprisingly high standard.View Deal

Save $120 This drone comes with high-end features including 4K video capture, GPS and a three-axis gimbal for stable footage. This Fly More Combo adds a carry case and a parallel charger that can charge three batteries at once, meaning your drone need never be out of the sky for long. View Deal

Save $50 This is the hottest new drone product on release, and now it sees a massive $100 reduction. Smart enough to follow you, circle you and get amazing pictures and video without even needing a controller this might be the future of drones.View Deal

Is Cyber Monday as good as Black Friday?

james.artaius@futurenet.com (James Artaius) — Mon, 28 Nov 2022 05:52:41 +0000

Is Cyber Monday as good as Black Friday? More and more people ask that question every year, especially as both American sales events take root across the globe.

Once upon a time, the two events served very different purposes. You'd find the best Black Friday camera deals, for example, at bricks and mortar stores like Walmart and Best Buy (usually accompanied by news broadcast-bating footage of shoppers stampeding each other while battling to grab physical products).

By contrast, the best Cyber Monday camera deals would be found exclusively at online e-tailers (accompanied by crashing websites rather than crushing crowds) such as Amazon and Etsy.

You see, Black Friday marks the unofficial start of the Christmas shopping season, since it takes place the day after Thanksgiving. And, in order to enable online stores to compete (oh, how times change), Cyber Monday was established in 2005 to promote internet shopping.

However, from single-day sales events, we now have sales bonanzas that seem to envelop the entire week either side of the two days.

(Image credit: Future)

Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday?

Apple Black Friday deals
Black Friday camera deals
Instax Black Friday deals
Canon Black Friday deals
Nikon Black Friday deals
Sony Black Friday deals
Olympus Black Friday deals
GoPro Black Friday deals

Back in the day, you'd have to physically go to Walmart on Friday to get Black Friday prices because they were in-store only. And if you went there in person on Monday, you wouldn't be able to get Cyber Monday prices because they were web-only.

Now, it's largely all just a free for all. Black Friday pricing is the same in a physical store as it is online, and many stores offer Cyber Monday deals even if they don't have a website!

All of which begs the question… which is better? Are Cyber Monday deals the same as Black Friday? It's not quite that straightforward a question to answer.

By and large, the best bargains and most headline-grabbing offers take place on Black Friday – such as Verizon's mindboggling deal where you can buy an iPhone 14 Pro and get a free iPad, Apple Watch and Beats headphones.

The thing is, though, Black Friday offers increasingly run all the way through Cyber Monday, as the two events become less separate selling occasions and more punctuation points on the same extended sales parade.

Many retailers do hold back specific deals for Cyber Monday that aren't available on Black Friday. Sometimes these are as good as or better than the Friday deals, sometimes they're not. Sometimes stores slash prices a bit more to clear inventory that didn't move over the weekend. Sometimes you've waited too long and you miss the best prices.

So, there's no hard and fast answer. Our best advice is, if you see a good price on something you're interested in, jump on the offers right away! Trust us, you don't want something to sell out because you're waiting for the price to drop even more!

I've spent $3,900 on Cyber Monday (so far)

james.artaius@futurenet.com (James Artaius) — Mon, 30 Nov 2020 20:34:27 +0000

We're only halfway through the Black Friday / Cyber Monday weekend and I've already spent $3,896.12.

And, with the Cyber Monday camera deals still throwing up more and more ridiculous savings, that's a figure that could easily continue to rack up before Tuesday rolls around and I finally put my credit card away.

It's a bit of a joke among the DCW team that I'm addicted to buying camera gear. And it's hard to argue; I did, after all, spend $300 in October importing a Pokémon-themed version of the Canon Ivy Rec from Japan – a camera that only costs $49, if you just buy one in the States that isn't yellow and doesn't have a Pikachu on it.

So, admittedly, I have a bit of an issue. However, in years past I haven't approached Black Friday and Cyber Monday with a shopping list in mind; if there were any ridiculously good deals, then cool, I'd buy something. (Last year I ended up buying a dishwasher, but nothing for my camera bag.)

This year, though, was a little different. There were a couple of things that I knew I wanted, and that my Spidey Sense told me were going to be on offer, so I bided my time. I waited with ninja-like patience to see if the deals rolled in – and, sure enough, they did. So what did I get?

Well, amazingly, I spent almost four thousand dollars on just three things. That's what being a Canon EOS R5 owner gets you…

Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM

(Image credit: James Artaius)

This is, hands down, the best portrait lens I've ever used. You could make the argument that a great 135mm might have it outclassed (though if it does, don't tell me as I can't afford anything else right now), but it's certainly the best 85mm lens out there.

I actually intended to buy this lens last year, before Canon teased me with the R5 and I knew I'd be shelling out for that first. It was a toss-up between this and the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM DS, the Defocus Smoothing version of the lens that renders unfathomably smooth bokeh.

Thankfully, while this lens is an eye-watering £2,799 in the UK, I took advantage of the double cashback in the Canon Cyber Monday deals to save £400. Fun fact: I'm also REALLY tempted to buy the Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, since that's got a crazy cashback offer as well…

Moment CineBloom diffusion filters

(Image credit: Moment)

If you're anything like me, you love digital cameras and modern lenses for how crisp, clean, sharp and precise they are. However, you also long for the days when cameras and lenses had real character.

I love nothing more than whacking an old Helios or Super Takumar lens on the front of my camera because modern lenses just don't have that softness to the skin, that smoothness to edges, that haze and bloom surrounding bright areas of light. These are, technically, imperfections and shortcomings, of course – part of the reason that 85mm f/1.2L lens is so expensive is precisely because it is so clinical.

Still, I miss that character, that soul, that cinematic richness of my old film lenses. Which is why I picked up a pair of these brilliant Moment CineBloom diffusion filters – both in 20% strength (because I ain't buying these things to be subtle), one 62mm to fit a couple of lenses for my Olympus cameras, and one 82mm to fit my new RF 85mm. Each filter is discounted by $10 right now, so you can grab a few guilt-free.

Will I be buying anything else over the next couple of days? Well, I've already got an Xbox Series X, but if there's a PS5 in stock in the Sony Cyber Monday deals, hmm…

Moment CineBloom diffusion filter: $39.99 - $69.99
Save $10 The whole range of CineBloom filters is currently discounted by $10. Available in 10% or 20% strength, and in filter sizes 37mm, 62mm, 67mm, 77mm and 82mm, you can transform pretty much any modern lens into a vintage-looking, cinematic effect optic.

It goes without saying that the launch of the iPhone 12 was one of the biggest camera phone launches this year, but we wouldn't discount the iPhone 11 just yet. There's actually very little difference between the two models, aside from the new Ceramic Shield screen. So, if you were tempted by the iPhone 12 Pro but can't justify the price, make sure you take a look at the iPhone 11 deals we've got above. We especially like the AirPods deal, as these still go for a pretty penny by themselves. If you're not an Apple fan, there are plenty of other deals that are certain to whet your appetite, including a spectacular 5G data deal on the Samsung Galaxy Note 20.

If you need a rough guide on what the numbers next to each pair of binoculars mean, one relates to the magnification the binoculars provide and the other relates to the objective focal length of the lenses. So, for example, a 10x42 pair of binoculars refers to 10x magnification and 42mm objective focal length. Generally, the larger each of these numbers are, the heavier the pair of binoculars will be. It's also worth noting that binoculars with super magnification might not be suitable for activities such as birding, where your subject might not be that far away.
