The best Black Friday compact camera deals

Black Friday Compact Cameras
(Image credit: Future)

Black Friday is a week away, and as someone who hunts down camera deals for a living, I can confirm this is when compact cameras finally become genuinely pocket-friendly.

The main event runs from Friday 28 November through to Cyber Monday on 1 December, but this year the early waves are hitting sooner than expected. Amazon has already launched its Black Friday sale with millions of deals across top categories and new daily drops throughout - so major discounts will surface well before Black Friday officially begins

In this hub, I’m rounding up the very best savings on premium compacts, travel zooms, and creator-ready point-and-shoots so you can grab the good stuff before it disappears. I don’t list every markdown — only the ones that meet my “reasonable” test: genuine lowest-ever pricing, real price-history verification, and bundles that actually add value, like extra batteries or fast SD cards.

If you’re shopping with intent, you’re in the right place. Street shooters get discreet, fast-glass compacts; families get tough, reliable point-and-shoot cameras; creators get vlogging-friendly 4K models with flip screens and solid microphones. And every deal comes from a trusted retailer with easy returns — because a great price only matters if the aftercare does too.

After something a bit beefier? Head to our Best Black Friday camera deals hub for all the mirrorless savings.

When does Black Friday start?

Black Friday officially begins on Friday, November 28, 2025. However, many major retailers start rolling out early deals well before the big day – often a week or even two in advance. The event then continues through the weekend and wraps up on Cyber Monday, December 1, when you’ll find the final wave of offers before prices return to normal.

Do I need a Amazon Prime subscription for Black Friday?

Short answer: No, you don’t need Amazon Prime to shop Black Friday deals.

However, if you plan to buy mainly from Amazon, Prime is certainly worth having. Some of the biggest discounts (including Lightning Deals) are Prime-exclusive, and you’ll get fast, free delivery that helps you snag limited-stock items in time.

If you’re not a member, consider the 30-day free trial for the event, and better yet, if you're a student, Amazon is offering you 6 months for FREE! - You can always cancel before it renews.
