Hey! Everyone's giving great advice, but I thought I'd chime in with a slightly different angle. Instead of *just* focusing on the R50, might want to consider what other brands are doing around Black Friday too.

For example, Sony often has pretty aggressive deals on their a6000 series... and sometimes even the a7 series sees some decent discounts. Nikon's Z series might also be worth a look. It's always good to compare specs *and* prices across brands, especially during the sales. You might find something that's a better fit for you, or even a better deal overall!

Honestly, I'd suggest setting up price alerts on sites like CamelCamelCamel (if it supports camera stuff, I'm not sure!) or just tracking prices on Amazon/B&H Photo for a few months *before* Black Friday. That way, you'll have a baseline to compare against and know if the 'deal' is *actually* a deal! Hope this helps!
