Crutchfield sale: Save on Canon, Sony and Nikon mirrorless cameras

By
Canon EOS R5
Canon

Photography can be a fun and even lucrative endeavor, although it also can be exceedingly expensive, with some of the best full-frame cameras on the market easily reaching and even exceeding one or two thousand dollars, and that’s without taking into account the cost of the lenses. Luckily, there is a great sale at Crutchfield right now on various cameras and camera kits, and you can actually grab yourself some excellent cameras, whether you’re just starting out or want to upgrade to the next level. To that end, we’ve picked some of our favorite deals below, although it’s well worth checking out the full Crutchfield sale that’s happenning now.

What you should buy in Crutchfield’s camera sale

If you’re just starting out with photography and don’t want to spend the thousands of dollars you do for the slightly better cameras that you’ll find in the mid-range, the Canon EOS R100 is an excellent option, and this kit includes a lens as well. It has a 24.1-megapixel sensor for high-quality photography, a 3-inch screen so you can get a better sense of what you’re filming, and, of course, the RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 lens that the kit comes with. It can also connect with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and all of that comes packaged at , which is $100 off the usual $599 price tag.

On the other hand, if you’re willing to spend a little extra, then the Sony Alpha a7 III is probably one of the best all-around cameras you can buy for the price, especially with this kit that includes a lens and is instead of $2,198. With a 24.2-megapixel sensor, it has exceptional image quality and the ability to capture at 10fps, which is excellent, and has very responsive performance overall, and the included 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 FE OSS zoom lens is a really great lens if you don’t already have one. It can also connect through Wi-Fi, although it is worth noting that the menu can be a bit finicky sometimes, especially if you’re still relatively new to adjusting camera settings; but that’s not a dealbreaker, and you can learn it quickly enough.

Of course, there are some great high-end options as well, such as the Canon EOS R5 L Series, which packs quite a punch for a mirrorless camera and was even considered the “DSLR killer.” It has a whopping 45-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor that’s going to be perfect for taking high-resolution images, while the 3.15-inch rotating screen will let you get the perfect angle of what you’re shooting. It also comes with an RF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM zoom lens, and you can .

Light Blue Fujifilm INSTAX Mini 7+ Exclusive Blister Bundle with Bonus Pack of Film

Many folks might write off instant cameras, especially with everybody having a high-end portable camera in their pocket that primarily serves as their phone. For those in the know, though, instant cameras provide an interesting retrospective and stylistic choice that a filter can't easily recreate. Take the Fujifilm Instax Mini 7+, for example. It's small, cute, and relatively inexpensive, yet gives you the opportunity to play with instant photos. You can even grab it for cheaper than usual from Walmart, as it's just $49 rather than the $67 it normally goes for. That's a savings of $18.

Why you should buy the Fujifilm Instax Mini 7+
If you read our instant-print face-off -- Polaroid OneStep Flash vs. Fujifilm Instax Mini 7S -- you'll know that the Mini 7S is a great instant camera to grab. The Instax Mini 7+ is very similar to the 7S, but boasts a couple of quality-of-life improvements. For example, you get a two-component retractable lens that makes storage a bit easier, as well as an f-stop of 60 mm. There's also a built-in lens cover to protect it when it's in your bag or pocket, which helps make it even more portable. You also have relatively simple exposure adjustments you can make -- nothing too fancy but enough to give you some wiggle room.

Sony A7 III mirorless camera is $300 off for Black Friday
Sony Alpha a7 III Mirrorless front view.

There are a lot of great Best Buy Black Friday deals going on right now, and whether you're looking for TVs, laptops, or even headphones, there's a little something for everybody. Of course, many folks may not realize that Best Buy has some fantastic deals on high-end photography gear, such as this Sony Alpha a7 III mirrorless camera. While it usually goes for a whopping $2,200, Best Buy had brought it down to $1,900, and while that relatively doesn't seem like much, you could always spend the $300 savings on a new lens.

Why you should buy the Sony Alpha a7 III
The Sony Alpha a7 III is a camera with so much tech that it might as well be three different cameras. It has excellent dynamic range, low-light performance, and high-speed performance, and the full-frame sensors make the images look absolutely stunning. Interestingly, the a7 III manages to do an excellent job at both low and high ISOs, the latter of which can go as high as 51,200 non-boosted, which, granted, adds a lot of noise, but noise reduction helps with that. As for the video, well, sadly, it's not as impressive, at least in terms of advancements in image quality, and while it can do 8-bit 4K at 30 frames per second, it's no longer ahead of the pack in that regard, like the Panasonic Lumix GH5 is with its 400Mbps 10-bit codec and 60-fps 4K.
