Best camera deals: Save on DSLR, action cameras, point-and-shoot

Add as a preferred source on Google

If you have a camera phone and enjoy the photography that you’re doing but really want to take it to the next level, then you may want to consider springing for a traditional camera. A standalone camera offers not only better resolution and image quality, but also the option to change out lenses for different types of photography. Combine the different lenses, camera sensors, and features, and you get a lot of freedom to play around and find something that works best for your style. The downside is that cameras and lenses can be really expensive, which is why we’ve gone out and collected some of our favorite camera deals below, although you should probably check our guide on Mirrorless vs. DSLR before going through with a camera purchase.

That said, if you’d like something a little bit different, check out these drone deals, and for more action cameras, there are these GoPro deals, too.

Best DSLR camera deals

DSLR cameras are bulkier than mirrorless cameras, but they produce high-quality images that will let you capture the most beautiful moments. You’ll be able to see directly through the lens with the mirrored optical viewfinder while composing your shot, and you’ve got your pick among years’ worth of lenses, depending on what kind of pictures you want to take. DSLR camera deals are always in demand because they’re expensive though, so hurry if you want to pocket the savings from the bargains we’ve gathered below.

Best action camera deals

Action cameras, which were popularized by GoPro, are perfect for adrenaline junkies and outdoor enthusiasts because they’re designed to withstand even the most extreme situations. They also come with long battery lives, stabilization technology, and several kinds of attachments. Action camera deals almost always get sold out quickly though, so don’t waste any more time if you want to shop one of the offers below.=

Best mirrorless camera deals

Compared to DSLR cameras, mirrorless cameras are smaller and lighter, but that doesn’t mean they’re not capable of taking top-quality photos. They’re a newer type of camera, which means there are fewer available lenses for them, but mirrorless cameras make up for that with their travel-friendly designs and rapid shooting speeds. Mirrorless camera deals are growing in popularity, so push through with your purchases while the offers we’ve collected are still online.

Best point-and-shoot camera deals

If you don’t want to deal with lenses and attachments, it’s highly recommended that you go for a point-and-shoot camera. They’re relatively simple to use compared to other types of cameras, but you’ll still be taking great pictures with the proper settings and the right composition. Point-and-shoot camera deals range from affordable to expensive, but you shouldn’t pass up on any savings that you can get from the bargains we’ve rounded up.

Google releases big v4.0 update for its popular Snapseed editing app on Android
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

After years of sitting on its hands, Google appears to have remembered it owns one of the best photo editing apps on mobile. Snapseed 4.0 is now rolling out to Android, bringing the platform up to speed after a stretch of iOS exclusivity that left Android users watching from the sidelines.

The story starts last June, when Google quietly broke Snapseed out of its long dormancy with a significant 3.0 update for iPhone. It was a surprise move that suggested the company was serious about the app again. Google then confirmed at the start of this year that Android wouldn't be left behind for long, and true to that word, the Play Store listing has now been updated to reflect version 4.0 — skipping straight past 3.0 for Android users and landing both platforms on the same version simultaneously.

Google has officially rolled out a new Touch Up suite inside its Photos app editor, integrating face retouching tools directly into the app for the first time. Previously, such adjustments were only available inside Google’s Camera app at the time of capture.
