As we barrel toward Black Friday, the early deals keep cropping up, and some of these discounts on the best tech are as good as we’ve ever seen. Among the impressive Amazon Black Friday deals, we’re seeing this standout: Right now, get $100 off the Canon EOS M50 Mirrorless Vlogging Camera Kit. It’s everything you need in a semi-pro digital camera — from the best pics to your vlogging needs — now just $549, down from its regular price of $649. Snap this deal up while you can.

The Canon EOS M50 Mirrorless is as talented a camera you’ll find in this range, and it’s super versatile too. It can shoot video in 4K and has hugely impressive photo capabilities, even in low light. Also, for ease of use, there’s a swivel touchscreen, which can really help you set up and review your shots.  Additionally, it’s loaded with shooting modes, so switching up shooting modes is as simple as touching a button. But with this deal, you don’t just get the camera, but a whole kit.  There’s the camera, an EF-M 15-45mm lens, tripod to set up your steady shots or video recording station, and a backpack.

Part of what makes this camera so great is the fact that it’s mirrorless. Why go mirrorless? As opposed to DSLRs, with a mirrorless camera, the image doesn’t have to be reflected before it goes into a viewfinder. Instead of that viewfinder, you get a digital preview on the rear screen, which can be really advantageous when setting up the perfect shot. The mirrorless quality allows this camera to be thinner, more compact, faster, and more adept at shooting video.

The small size of the Canon EOS M50 is just one of the attractive design elements. It’s got an ultra pared-down build, and there’s a single control dial, which is ideal for quick actions and takes a lot of the fuss out of taking pictures.  The camera measures 4.6 x 3.5 x 2.3 inches and weighs 13.7 ounces, which puts it around the same size as many entry-level mirrorless cameras, which are not capable of doing half the work. The menu and operating system are also super easy to use. And yet there’s a ton of power and features hidden in this small package

Getting a little more into this camera’s guts, we find a 24.1-megapixel sensor. It features Canon’s Dual Pixel AF system, an auto-focus improvement over previous versions, which brings in images in sharp detail and really extraordinary colors. As for the lens, the EOS M50’s EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM kit lens boasts 3x optical zoom. We’ve seen much larger ranges, but it’s fine for its size and will take care of your day-to-day needs. As for video, there’s a similar brilliance, arriving from the camera’s ability to shoot in 1080p. Really, what else do you need in an everyday camera?

Google Pixel Watch Black Friday deal hasn’t ended yet – save $50
The Pixel Watch on a person's wrist.

Despite the end of the shopping holiday, the Google Pixel Watch is still on sale in the Best Buy Black Friday deals at $50 off, so you'll only have to pay $300 for the wearable device instead of $350. We didn't expect it to appear in this year's Google Black Friday deals, as the smartwatch was just released last month, but here's your chance to already get it for cheaper than its sticker price. It's highly recommended that you finalize your purchase as soon as possible though, because the deal may disappear at any moment, and we're not sure if it will be available in the upcoming Cyber Monday deals.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel Watch
The Google Pixel Watch, which was announced and launched alongside the Google Pixel 7 and Google Pixel 7 Pro in October, comes with Wear OS 3.5 without any additional user interface over it, unlike the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5. The operating system will let you access information such as heart rate, daily steps, and other health metrics by swiping through the different Tiles, and it offers everything that you'd expect from a smartwatch, including maps, mobile payments, and alarms. The wearable device features a sharp and colorful 1.2-inch AMOLED screen, and a battery that promises to last up to 24 hours with fast-charging technology that replenishes 50% after 30 minutes and 100% after 80 minutes.

If you've been looking forward to Apple Black Friday deals, the good news is that some of them remain even after the end of the shopping holiday. The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are still $49 off on Amazon, dropping them to a historic low of $200 from the typical price of $249. To take advantage of this rare opportunity, be sure to slam them in your cart now, as most Black Friday deals of the same caliber are beginning to disappear, and we're not sure if the wireless earbuds will be this cheap on the upcoming Cyber Monday deals. Or, scroll on down for a moment to look at why the Pros are so professional.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Pro
If you know about the AirPods 2, you probably don't need a lot of convincing to get them when they're on sale. However, if you're still new to the world of AirPods, here's our AirPods Pro 2 review in a nutshell: a total no-brainer for Apple users. While Android and PC users will still enjoy the advanced ANC and transparency modes, Apple users will enjoy the AirPods Pro 2's ability to instantly recognize other Apple products whenever the case is opened. For example, if you have an iPad (or plan on getting one via these Black Friday iPad deals), you just have to open up your AirPods Pro 2's near it when you want to use it, and everything will be ready for you automatically.
