Whos tracking the best Black Friday camera bodies this year? Ive been shooting for years but this seasons pricing is super erratic. Looking for a full-frame mirrorless upgrade around $2,000 for my travel work in NYC. Usually stick to B&H but the bundles look better elsewhere. Any sleeper sites Im missing?
Just saw your post today. Honestly, I have been pretty disappointed with the bundle offerings this year. I had issues with a generic kit recently where the extra items were basically junk, so I am very cautious about those sleeper sites now. Unfortunately, the quality of those deals is often not as good as expected and return policies can be a total nightmare. Quick question before I suggest a specific path: are you already invested in a lens mount, or are you looking to switch systems entirely? That really changes how far $2,000 goes. If you want reliability, I suggest looking at these specific bodies:
- Sony Alpha a7 IV 33MP Mirrorless Camera
- Canon EOS R6 Mark II 24.2MP Mirrorless Camera
- Nikon Z6 II 24.5MP Mirrorless Camera I dont really trust the third-party kits anymore. Sticking to body-only deals at Adorama or Focus Camera is usually a safer bet than those bloated bundles, imo.
In my experience, sticking to major authorized dealers is the only safe way to go when spending that kind of money. I have seen too many people get burned by gray market deals on random sites that offer no real warranty. Over the years, Ive learned that if a bundle price seems too good to be true, it definitely is. Just dont trust those sleeper sites, honestly.
