You deserve an awesome camera. I’ve been a camera nerd for decades, so I know a good deal on one when I see one. Amazon’s Big Deal Days is a great opportunity to upgrade. Nikon’s Z8 is $3,296.95, $1,003 off its list price and the lowest price Amazon has charged for it. Most of the other deals here are the gear that goes around a camera, like gimbals that steady handheld shots, clip-on wireless mics and 360 cameras. The Shure MV7i is a USB-C podcast mic with an audio interface built in, and it’s $269 for Prime members. Prices on DJI drones and action cameras have shifted since the sale opened, and we updated this page at 9:30am ET on Tuesday, October 6, to match. The sale runs until 2:59am ET on Thursday, October 8.

Nikon Z8: $3,296.95 (was $4,299.95)

Nikon pitches the Z8 as a professional full-frame hybrid for stills and video. For anyone who shoots product photos and short-form video for the same client, one body that does both means one battery system and one set of lenses to haul around. At $3,296.95 it’s $1,003 off list, and you don’t need Prime for it.

DJI RS 4 Mini Combo: $309 (was $459)

Shaky handheld footage makes an expensive camera look cheap. The DJI RS 4 Mini Combo on sale for $309 takes $150 off a gimbal that DJI lists as compatible with Canon, Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm cameras, and it’s $10 under the $319 Amazon charged on June 22, its previous low. The full-size DJI RS 4 is $369, which is $30 under its own June low. Both DJI deals are open to everyone.

Nikon Z 6II: $1,296.95 (was $1,749.95)

Full-frame video for less than $1,300 is the draw here. The Nikon Z 6II at $1,296.95 is $453 off its list price, and Amazon hasn’t charged less for it since price tracking began in 2020. Nikon replaced it with the Z6III in 2024, so this is the older body. The price doesn’t require Prime.

Canon SELPHY CP1500 with ink and paper: $169.99 (was $199.99)

Selling prints at a market or running a photo booth at an event takes a printer that fits in a bag. Canon’s SELPHY CP1500 bundle at $169.99 comes with an RP-108 ink and paper set, according to the listing, and it’s $30 off and the lowest price Amazon has charged for it in two months of tracking. The smaller SELPHY QX20 is $159.

Drone deals

DJI’s Flip Fly More Combo has full-coverage propeller guards and weighs under 249g, so you don’t need to register it with the FAA. It’s $619 with the RC 2 controller, which has its own screen so you don’t need your phone to fly. The DJI Neo Fly More Combo is the small one, a palm-sized drone that can take off from your hand, and it’s $242.

Action camera, 360 camera and vlogging camera deals

The GoPro LIT Hero at $179.99 is the cheapest action camera here, and it’s a Prime member price. For 360 video, the Insta360 X5 is $464.99 and doesn’t need Prime. Shoot everything around you, then pick the angle later in the app.

Microphone and webcam deals

The Shure MV7i at $269 is the lowest price Amazon has charged for it. For interviews and run-and-gun video, the DJI Mic Mini two-transmitter kit clips two wireless mics onto two people for $79.

More camera, lens and accessory deals

Panasonic’s LUMIX S9 is a compact full-frame mirrorless camera, and it’s $1,327.99 without Prime. Sony’s FE 35mm f/1.4 GM lens is $200 off at $1,298. The Sony INZONE H6 Air, a wired open-back headset with a mic, is $168.
