Best Memorial Day camera deals

Should you shop the Memorial Day camera sales?

Memorial Day weekend brings some of the best sales in the first half of the year, easily on par with other big summer holidays like the Fourth of July and Labor Day. If you’d have your eye on a new camera, then we can heartily recommend shopping these Memorial Day camera deals if you see a model you like that fits within your budget. That said, there won’t be a shortage of other summer sales to shop, especially considering that Prime Day is back on for the summer after being delayed last year.

If you can afford to wait a bit and you have a Prime membership, you might want to consider holding off your shopping spree for when the Prime Day deals arrive in June (which is even a bit earlier this year than its usual July time slot). Amazon’s big annual blowout is sure to bring along plenty of great Prime Day camera deals on popular models from top names like Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Panasonic, at the lowest prices we’re likely to see until Black Friday lands in late November.

If you do decide to pull the trigger on any of these Memorial Day camera deals, though, make sure you perform your due diligence beforehand. Do a little research — our camera buying guide as well as our roundups of the best DSLR cameras, the best mirrorless cameras, and the best point-and-shoot cameras have you covered there — and hone your wish list down to a few models you really like, or at least some must-have features you don’t want to be without.

Remember, too, that camera bundle deals that include lens kits and other add-ons are another great way to save big, especially if you’re new to the hobby. Finally, stick with trusted brands, read customer reviews, and compare prices from major retailers to ensure that you’re getting the best camera for your needs at the best price.

There's an absolutely huge Sony sale going on at Best Buy right now with hundreds of items on sale. This includes some of the best headphone deals and TV deals around, but also sales on digital cameras too if you're looking to rely a little less on your smartphone. With so much out there, we recommend hitting the sale button below to check out what's available for yourself. If you know Sony makes it, it's almost certainly available here and at a discount. However, if you could do with a little guidance, keep reading while we break down a few key highlights.

What to shop for in the Sony sale
One popular item that often appears on sale is the . These aren't the latest headphones from Sony but at $280 instead of $350, they're still very appealing. When we reviewed the Sony WH-1000XM4, we loved the fantastic noise canceling and sound quality that combined to make these hugely appealing headphones for pretty much everyone. The newer are on sale at $349 instead of $400, but we'd stick with the slightly older model at these prices. The difference between the two is more subtle than you'd think and you'll be happy with either.
