Are there any good mirrorless camera deals for Black Friday?

Question

Anyone seen any legit leaks for mirrorless bodies this Black Friday? Ive been shooting on an a6400 for like four years now and I finally need to upgrade to full frame because my clients are asking for better low light performance and the dynamic range just isnt cutting it anymore for these winter weddings I have booked. I'm looking at the Canon R6 II or the Sony A7IV but the prices right now are still sitting at MSRP and its stressing me out since I need this by my Dec 10th gig. I checked B&H and Adorama but their early deals are mostly just accessories and junk. Is anyone seeing price drops on actual bodies or should I just bite the bullet now and pay full price?

Just saw this thread and honestly... you are cutting it really close with that Dec 10th wedding. I would suggest being super cautious about waiting until the actual Friday because shipping delays during the holidays can be a total disaster. If you dont have the camera in hand by the 1st, you wont even have time to learn the new menu systems or test the autofocus properly before the big day. I would suggest checking out a few specific resources instead of just refreshing B&H:Use CamelCamelCamel or Keepa to track the price history of the Sony Alpha a7 IV Full-frame Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera. It lets you see if current prices are actually a deal or just marketing hype.Look into Greentoe. You can make an offer on the Canon EOS R6 Mark II Mirrorless Camera Body and authorized dealers will often take it to move stock without publicly breaking MSRP rules.If you still have access to an old student email, check the B&H Edu Advantage portal. The discounts there are often better than what they show the general public on Black Friday. Be careful with random third-party sellers on Amazon tho. If the price looks suspiciously low, its probably a gray market import with no manufacturer warranty. For a pro gig, you definitely need that peace of mind. Honestly, if you find a price within 100 bucks of your target now, just grab it... the stress of it not arriving is worth way more than the small extra savings.

Honestly, be careful waiting for leaks. If you have a wedding on the 10th, holiday shipping delays might mess things up. I would suggest just sticking with Sony because you cant go wrong there.

make sure to buy from authorized shops

check the warranty fine print

get it early to test it Better to pay full price now for peace of mind... reliability is key when you got a pro job booked.
