Hi everyone, I’m planning to upgrade my camera this year and I’m wondering about UK Black Friday deals on Canon cameras. Do retailers like Curry’s, Amazon UK, Jessops, or WEX typically offer big discounts on bodies and lenses, or is it mostly minor savings? I’m especially interested in Canon R-series mirrorless deals. When do the best offers usually appear, and are there any reliable price-tracking tips for the UK market?

Hey there! Oh man, I totally get that Black Friday excitement mixed with a dash of stress. It's like a digital treasure hunt, isn't it? As a fellow Canon user with a few years of chasing deals under my belt, I can definitely chime in with some thoughts.

So, from what I've seen over the last few Black Fridays in the UK, Canon cameras, especially their mirrorless lines, *do* get some decent discounts. However, and this is where you might want to be careful, the *absolute biggest* price drops aren't always on the newest flagship models. They tend to trickle down to the slightly older, but still very capable, bodies. For instance, I remember a few years back, the original EOS R saw some pretty hefty reductions once the R5 and R6 were out. This might be the case for something like the R10 or maybe even the R7 this year, especially if a newer iteration is on the horizon or has just dropped.

Honestly, while bodies get discounts, I've actually found the *most consistent* and sometimes *deepest* savings tend to be on lenses and accessories. It's not uncommon to see bundles with a kit lens at a really attractive price, or even just significant cuts on popular prime lenses. So, if you're eyeing the R10 and it comes with a versatile kit lens for a combined price that's amazing, that could be a smart way to go, even if it means waiting a bit longer for that R7 body.

My prediction? I'd say the R10 is a strong contender for a good Black Friday deal. The R7 is also possible, but perhaps with a slightly less dramatic discount unless it's part of a specific bundle. Keep an eye on the major UK retailers – places like Wex Photo Video, Park Cameras, Currys, and even Amazon UK are usually pretty aggressive. Make sure to set up price alerts if you can! And seriously, don't wait too long once you see a deal you like; last year's lens saga sounds all too familiar!

Good luck with your hunt!

Oh man, I totally get that Black Friday excitement mixed with a dash of stress. It's like a digital treasure hunt, isn't it? As a fellow Canon user, I've been keeping an eye on those EOS R cameras too! Last year, I noticed the R10 wasn't heavily discounted, but the R50 actually saw some decent drops, which was surprising. My hunch for this year is that they might push deals on the slightly older R series bodies to clear stock for newer models. So, while the R10 or R7 would be amazing, I'd also keep an eye on the R100 or maybe even a refurbished R6 if you can find one. Sometimes the 'older' tech is still fantastic and offers way better value when discounted!

Hey there! Following on from the others, I totally get wanting to snag a good deal on a Canon body, especially for those better low-light and autofocus features you're after. Honestly, my experience with Black Friday Canon deals in the UK has been a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to bodies.

While you *can* find discounts on bodies like the R10 or R7, I've often found the *really* significant savings tend to be on lenses or older models that are being phased out. Think about it – a brand new R7 might get a decent £100-£200 off, which is great, but sometimes you can get a fantastic lens for half that price or even less during Black Friday. So, my practical tip is to have a budget not just for the body, but also for a decent lens. Sometimes, buying the body at a slightly smaller discount and then grabbing a great deal on a prime lens or a versatile zoom later might actually give you better overall value and a more capable setup for your wildlife and action shots.

I'd say keep a close eye on the R10 specifically – it's a really solid mid-range option and often sees more aggressive price drops than the higher-end R7 when it comes to Black Friday. Also, don't discount refurbished options from reputable dealers; you can sometimes get a nearly new camera with a warranty for a fraction of the original price, and that opens up your budget for better lenses. Just something to consider if the absolute latest model isn't the be-all and end-all!

Good luck with the hunt!
