Like every year, Black Friday is an opportunity to equip yourself with photo and video at a lower cost. However, you have to be careful and not succumb to too much of a price drop without knowing what the equipment is worth. With the photography team, Digital has selected the best tips by recommending only products tested in the lab and validated by our editors.
Do not hesitate to come back to this page, the offers will be regularly updated.
Hybrid bodies (interchangeable lenses)
The first affordable hybrid body from Canon, the EOS RP is offered here in a rather attractive pack since it is accompanied by an RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM optical zoom which, if not the brighter, is versatile in both photo and video.
The Panasonic hybrid plays the compactness card with its 4/3″ sensor, and you will appreciate the presence of a screen mounted on a ball joint for original framing. Note that the Micro 4/3 mount allows you to use a wide choice of lenses.
The case certainly dates from 2015, but this 24×36 camera with interchangeable lenses still has good image quality (especially when processing RAW files) and a large fleet of quality optics. Dating from 2015, the autofocus and the burst are however down compared to more recent boxes.
Even if it dates from 2017, the Panasonic Lumix GH5 remains an interesting box, especially for its fairly complete video part even today. In addition, you have access to a large fleet of optics in Micro 4/3 mount.
This Panasonic Lumix S5 housing kit (24×36 sensor) with two lenses is undoubtedly one of the best deals of the moment, especially for videographers. Indeed, the S5 offers a host of recording formats and settings for amateur and professional videographers.
Compacts
If you’re looking for a compact camera that delivers great image quality, then take a look at the Darty offering on the Sony RX100 VII. It is certainly not very young, but it has a real integrated electronic viewfinder which allows you to isolate yourself when shooting. In addition, the 1000 fps mode or the full video mode could end up seducing you.
