Is Black Friday the best time for deals on cameras?

A survey from Which? conducted for six months before and after the 2022 Black Friday sale found that 98% of products were actually cheaper at other times of year than on Black Friday. Price trends change throughout the year, and there can often be better deals to be found outside of Black Friday.

For example, at Back Market, you can find discounts of up to 50% or more by buying refurbished fully guaranteed technology instead of buying new. Black Friday camera deals might be good, but at Back Market you can see similar deals every single day of the year. Take the stress out of shopping and beat the crowds with Back Market.

Should I wait for a Black Friday camera deal?

Black Friday and Cyber Monday may have great deals on cameras, so it is certainly worth checking out what offers are available. However, prices can fluctuate a lot throughout the year and there may be other sales or offers that can provide even heavier discounts. Back-to-school sales, which often run from June through August, often have even bigger discounts. If you don’t need the latest model, you might also find a camera with great specifications available at a better price just before a slightly newer model comes onto the market.

Another option is to shop for refurbished cameras at Back Market. This means getting access to some of the best prices on the market all year round, without having to wait for the next sale. Back Market prices can be as much as 50% lower than the retail price for the same model new, which is comparable to - or better than - the best digital and Polaroid Black Friday deals.

Unless you’re a professional photographer, this camera should be more than adequate for your needs. The 20 megapixel camera gives amazing clarity compared to most smartphone cameras, and being lightweight, it’s also easy to carry everywhere. The f/1.8 aperture makes this a great device for taking portraits or for macrophotography.

The bottom line on Black Friday camera deals

Black Friday represents one of the most frantic shopping days of the year, with millions of people looking to score hefty discounts on technology, home furnishings, clothing and Christmas gifts. There are almost certainly some great offers out there over this day and the surrounding weeks. However, they may not be the best price you can find if you have the time. The deals you see may actually be too good to be true, as some retailers hike their prices prior to November, so the Black Friday discounts look better than they really are.

When shopping for tech, it’s also worth considering buying refurbished products from Back Market. The discounts compared to new products can be up to 50% or even more, while you get the peace of mind of a one-year warranty and 30-day money-back guarantee if you’re not completely satisfied. You also get to feel good about your carbon footprint, as buying refurbished over new reduces your contribution to global e-waste.

Camera Black Friday Deals FAQs

Are Black Friday camera deals only online?

Black Friday camera deals can be found both online and in-store at all participating retailers. It’s Cyber Monday sales that are almost exclusively online.

Do you get better camera deals on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

The short answer is that there is little difference. While Cyber Monday is exclusively online and all about tech, most companies that participate in Cyber Monday will also have the same camera deals on Black Friday, and some will even offer those discounts throughout the whole of November.
