Prime Day camera deals: Engadget's top picks
Prime Day compact and action camera deals
GoPro's isn't the company's latest action camera, but it offers a big improvement over the previous model and offers features like 5.3K 10-bit video at 60fps, industry-leading stability and native vertical video.
The is a solid option to GoPro's Hero lineup, with features like a magnetic quick-release mount, dual screens and 4K 120p resolution.
Sony's famous creator compact camera is a big step-up over a smartphone thanks to the 1-inch sensor and high-quality optics. It also offers vlogging features like a flip-out screen, one-touch bokeh and background defocus.
Prime Day mirrorless camera deals
Canon's is the only modern mirrorless camera you can get with a kit lens for under $500. It comes with a 24-megagpixel APS-C sensor that delivers great picture quality with Canon's pleasing skin tones.
The G95 came out in 2019 but it was years ahead of its time with video-friendly features like a flip-out display, 5-axis in-body stabilization and 4K 30p video, all in a lightweight 1.2-pound body.
With the ZV-E10 II arriving earlier this year, you can pick up the original with a lens for a song. It offers sharp 4K video at up to 30 fps and vlogging features like product showcase and background defocus.
The R7 offers very fast shooting speeds up to 30 fps using the electronic shutter, high-resolution images that complement skin tones, excellent autofocus and sharp 4K video.
For those who need a compact camera that can function as a tourist, wildlife or even sports camera for both video or stills, the OM-5 fits the bill.
his is Panasonic's first Micro Four Thirds camera with phase-detect autofocus and is now the company’s in that sensor category for the price.
The S5 II was Panasonic's first full-frame mirrorless camera with phase-detect autofocus. It also offers solid vlogging features like 5-axis stabilization, 10-bit log capture up to 6K and more.
The 24-megapixel EOS R6 Mark II is an awesome hybrid camera with fast 40fps shooting speeds and 4K 60p video.
The OM-1 Mark II only came out this year, so $400 off is an outstanding deal. It offers shooting speeds up to 50fps, 4K 60p video, 8.5 stop in-body stabilization and more.
Though it was released over two years ago, the 33-megapixel Sony A7 IV still has one of the best combinations of image quality, performance and video powers.
Though over seven years old, Fujifilm's GFX50S is the cheapest way to get a medium-format camera, especially with this sale. For less than half the original price, you get a lightweight large sensor camera with 50.1-megapixels of resolution.
Canon's R5 is near an all-time low price, giving you 8K video and 20fps shooting speeds at a substantial savings over the original.
I said that the Nikon Z8 was a phenomenal camera for the price at $4,000 so at this price it's nearly a no-brainer. With a stacked 45-megapixel sensor it can shoot RAW photos at 20fps and capture 8K RAW video.
With a 61-megapixel sensor, the A7R V shoots sharp and beautiful images at a very respectable speed, while offering up to 8K 10-bit video.
