Gear Up: The Camera Deals Worth Your Attention Right Now
Whether you’re building out a BTS archive, shooting your next video treatment, or just leveling up your content game, glass and sensors cost real money. Right now, B&H is sitting on a stacked round of discounts across Canon, Sony, Nikon, and OM System — full frame down to Micro Four Thirds — and a lot of it is gear that’s still very much worth owning, even if it’s not this year’s flagship.
Here’s what’s actually worth your coin.
Canon
Canon EOS R6 II — The R6 III replaced it, but the 24.2-megapixel R6 II is still a workhorse. It’s $200 off, landing at $2,099 — a full $700 cheaper than its successor. If you don’t need the newest bells and whistles, this is the move. 👉 Shop the Canon EOS R6 II
Canon EOS R5 II — Canon’s high-res full-frame flagship-adjacent body. The 45-megapixel sensor makes this arguably a better all-around option than even the R1 for a lot of working shooters. $300 off brings it to $4,099. 👉 Shop the Canon EOS R5 II
Canon EOS R3 — Before the R1 existed, this was Canon’s top dog, and it’s still a beast — fast, dual-gripped, built like it’s meant to survive a tour bus. It’s discounted a massive $1,000, now sitting at $4,399. 👉 Shop the Canon EOS R3
Sony
Sony a7 IV — With the a7 V now out and getting the buzz, the a7 IV is the quiet winner here. Still a genuinely great camera if you don’t need the newest speed upgrades. At $1,998 after a $500 cut, this is probably the single best value play in Sony full frame right now. 👉 Shop the Sony a7 IV
Sony a7R V — The 61-megapixel resolution monster is down to $3,498 (plus a $50 cashback if you register by September 30). That’s a grand cheaper than the newer a7R VI, and for portrait and landscape work, the difference isn’t going to break your shoot. 👉 Shop the Sony a7R V
Nikon
Nikon Z8 — Basically a mirrorless spiritual successor to the D850 with flagship Z9 guts underneath. $900 off puts it at $3,396.95, which is a serious price for what this camera can do. 👉 Shop the Nikon Z8
Nikon Z7 II — 45.7 megapixels, all the image quality, none of the Z8’s speed premium. Down $600 to $1,896.95, and honestly one of the best deals on this whole list for anyone doing landscape or detail-heavy work. 👉 Shop the Nikon Z7 II
Nikon Z6 III — 2024 release, 24.5-megapixel partially-stacked sensor, 6K video at 60fps, 20fps burst shooting. Now under $2,000 with a $700 discount. 👉 Shop the Nikon Z6 III
Nikon Z5 II — The entry point into Nikon’s current autofocus tech without needing 45 megapixels. $250 off brings it to $1,596.95 — a legit first full-frame body. 👉 Shop the Nikon Z5 II
OM System
OM System OM-1 Mark II — The pick for anyone shooting wildlife, sports, or anything that needs reach without hauling a giant lens. Micro Four Thirds’ 2x crop factor plus OM’s telephoto lineup, 120fps electronic shutter, and dependable autofocus make this one worth a look at 20 megapixels. 👉 Shop the OM System OM-1 Mark II
