Ive been shooting events and portraits professionally for about four years now so I usually know when to upgrade my gear but my primary body completely fried on me yesterday during a shoot out in Chicago and Im totally scrambling. I was planning to wait until actual Black Friday next month to grab a Sony A7IV kit since prices always drop then but my timeline just got forced way up. Need something reliable ASAP and my absolute max budget right now is around two grand including a decent lens. Checked B&H and Amazon this morning but everything still looks like normal MSRP. Are there any early Black Friday camera deals live yet anywhere online or am I gonna have to bite the bullet and pay full price for a refurb today?
Man that brutal timing for a body to fry right in the middle of Chicago. In my experience waiting for early sales right now is a gamble since most real drops wont hit till late November. If you need a reliable workhorse today without dropping full MSRP check out the used section for a Sony A7III full frame mirrorless camera body. Prices have dropped way down and it leaves plenty of room in your budget for glass.
