Honestly, everyone here is focusing so much on the price tags and the timing, but I kind of disagree that the 'deal' should be the main decider... Like, if you're jumping to a full-frame body or RF glass, the real-world performance gains are way more important than saving an extra $50 on Cyber Monday. I’ve been digging into a lot of performance benchmarks lately, and it's wild how much the actual autofocus hit rate and thermal handling vary between the different tiers, regardless of the discount. But before you pull the trigger on any of these sales, what specific performance benchmarks are you actually trying to hit? Are you finding that your current gear is hitting a ceiling with low-light noise, or are you more concerned about the burst rate and buffer depth for action? Tbh, sometimes the 'cheaper' bundle on Cyber Monday includes slower cards or accessories that actually bottleneck the camera's performance, so I'd be careful about that...

Hey, so I was watching this pretty closely last year for RF glass and honestly… the Canon USA Cyber Monday stuff wasn’t as good as I hoped.

Tip: if you see a solid Black Friday price on the body/lens you want, I’d grab it instead of waiting for Cyber Monday.

In my case, the RF lens I wanted was the same price both days, but went out of stock over the weekend and only came back in a pricier bundle on Cyber Monday. Super annoying. Canon did a small extra bonus (like minor rewards points) but it didn’t really beat the BF deal once you did the math.

From what I’ve seen:
- Discounts: usually about the same as Black Friday, not better
- Bundles: sometimes change, but not always in your favor
- Previews: show up in emails/site banners maybe a few days before, but details can be vague

If you’re eyeing a full-frame body, I’d definitely track the price history and set an alert. The “wait for Cyber Monday, it’ll be cheaper” gamble hasn’t paid off for me with Canon direct.

FWIW, I’d decide on your max price now and if BF hits it (or close), don’t risk it.

Hope this helps!

Hey, so last year I played the waiting game with Canon USA for an RF body and a couple lenses… and I ended up building a little spreadsheet like a nerd 😅

What I noticed: the **headline Cyber Monday prices were usually the same as Black Friday**, but Cyber Monday sometimes added **small extras**:
- Extra Canon store rewards (like 5–10% more points)
- Occasional **stackable coupon** on refurb gear (e.g. extra 10% off already-discounted RF lenses)
- Better **bundle math** (body + kit lens + adapter was slightly cheaper than buying separate on BF)

Timing-wise, I think previews usually showed up **the weekend before** or even **Sunday night**, not super early. Canon seems to push one “Holiday” promo period where BF and CM blur together.

Lesson I learned: for RF lenses and full‑frame bodies, **don’t expect a huge Cyber Monday-only price drop** vs Black Friday, but if you’re open to **refurbs and reward points**, it’s sometimes worth waiting those extra 2–3 days. I’d screenshot BF prices, then compare quickly Sunday/Monday and pull the trigger as soon as you see the combo (price + rewards + refurb discount) that fits your budget.

Hope this helps! Happy hunting for that upgrade!

Well, quick story: last year I was tracking Canon USA, Sony, and Nikon side‑by‑side in a sheet (yes, I’m that nerdy…). I was eyeing RF glass, a Sony body for video, and a Nikon telephoto, and I noticed a pattern that might help you decide whether to wait.

From a market perspective, Canon USA tends to be *less* aggressive on Cyber Monday than Sony and sometimes Nikon, especially on current RF lenses and mainline FF bodies. Sony’s US store and big retailers (B&H/Adorama) often push deeper or wider bundles (cards, batteries, small rebates) for E‑mount on Cyber Monday, while Canon usually just extends or slightly tweaks the Black Friday promos. Nikon will occasionally undercut Canon on bodies with bigger instant savings, especially on models that are 1–2 years old.

So in practice, if you’re locked into RF, Canon USA Cyber Monday probably won’t blow Black Friday away. If you’re system‑flexible, though, it’s worth watching Sony/Nikon around Cyber Monday — they sometimes use that day to punch a bit harder on prices to grab market share.

Lesson learned for me: I treat Canon’s Black Friday as the “main event” and Cyber Monday as a small bonus, but I cross‑check Sony/Nikon then, because *they* sometimes do the real Cyber Monday moves.

Hope this helps!

Hey,

So, last year I was in almost the exact same spot as you – eyeing an RF body upgrade (R8 vs R6 II) and a couple of RF primes. I decided to “wait for Cyber Monday” thinking there’d be some magic extra discounts on the Canon USA store. I’m pretty budget‑focused and I didn’t wanna overpay, so I tracked prices way too obsessively.

Here’s what actually happened for me:
- The **big price drops mostly started around Black Friday**, and those same sale prices just kind of… continued through Cyber Monday.
- On Canon USA specifically, I saw **small extra perks** at best: sometimes bonus rewards points, occasionally a tiny extra discount or gift card, but nothing like a huge price cut.
- Meanwhile, **authorized dealers** (B&H, Adorama, etc.) often had **better bundles** (free cards, batteries, bags) for the *same* sale price.

So from a cost/value angle:
- I’d **decide your “happy price” now** for the RF lenses/body you want. Literally write down: “I’ll buy the RF 24-105 if it hits $X.”
- When Black Friday hits, if Canon USA or a legit dealer hits that number, I’d personally **not wait for Cyber Monday**. In my case, waiting didn’t save anything and just risked stuff going out of stock.
- Also check **Canon refurb** (if you’re comfortable with that). I ended up grabbing a refurb RF lens with the extra discount they were running and I’m honestly really satisfied – looks new, works well, no complaints, and it saved me more than any Cyber Monday deal would’ve.

Lesson learned for me: Cyber Monday on Canon USA is nice for maybe a tiny extra bonus, but **the real savings are usually already visible by Black Friday**. If the price hits your budget target, I’d say just go for it rather than gambling.

Hope this helps! Feel free to list what lenses/bodies you’re eyeing – people can sanity‑check the prices with you.

Hey,

One angle I’d add is a safety / reliability one: if you’re gonna spend big on RF glass or a FF body, I’d *definitely* prioritize buying direct from Canon or an authorized dealer over chasing the absolute lowest price, Cyber Monday or not.

Cyber Monday is when sketchy sites and gray‑market listings really spike. Over the years I’ve seen a few people “save” $150 on a body and then get:
- No Canon USA warranty
- Refurb/non‑US stock sold as new
- Missing US charger, wrong power cable, etc.

Canon’s own store is usually the *safest* play: legit warranty, proper return policy, and no surprises on serial numbers. If something’s DOA or develops an issue in week 1, you’re covered. That peace of mind is worth more than an extra 3–5% off IMO.

In terms of timing: historically, Canon’s Black Friday → Cyber Monday pricing is pretty similar, with the main differences being:
- Extra loyalty/reward points
- Occasional “doorbuster” bundles that sell out fast

So from a safety + value standpoint, I’d:
1. **Decide exact models now** (body + lenses) and note current Canon USA price.
2. **Watch Canon’s official email + site from about a week before Black Friday.** Previews usually start dropping then.
3. **Compare Canon’s offer vs authorized dealers (B&H, Adorama, etc.).** If the price match is close, I’d rather buy from Canon or a big authorized store than gamble on some random Cyber Monday “deal.”

If you see a solid discount from Canon on the gear you want during Black Friday, I wouldn’t wait hoping Cyber Monday will be magically better. The real risk is stuff going out of stock and you ending up hunting in the gray market, which is where the warranty and reliability headaches start.

FWIW, every time I’ve gone “safe but slightly more expensive,” it’s paid off the moment I needed warranty support.

Hope this helps!
