How to choose a camera on Cyber Monday

The first thing you want to do when shopping Cyber Monday camera deals is ensure you’re getting a camera that offers more than what your smartphone already offers. Many of the best phones have incredibly capable cameras. Most DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and action cameras are going to outperform a smartphone camera without much effort, but there are plenty of cheap, off-brand cameras that sound good on paper but likely won’t hold up over time. Your phone is a great default camera option, so make sure you’re getting a more capable camera if you’re going to spend the money during Cyber Monday.

If you’re shopping for your first camera you’re also going to want to be sure you’re getting something that has a lens. Shopping GoPro deals will ensure you land a camera with a built-in lens, but if you’ve got your eye on a new DSLR or mirrorless camera, you’re going to need to purchase a lens or make sure the camera comes bundled with one. The best Cyber Monday camera deals will likely include a lens, but that isn’t necessarily the case, so pay attention to that while shopping.

As is the case with any great Cyber Monday deal, pricing is going to come into play. When it comes to cameras, for the most part you’re going to get what you pay for. So the best way to go about shopping Cyber Monday deals will be to determine your budget and do your best to find a camera at that price point. Almost every brand is likely to have a model within range of that price, so you can make a purchase knowing you’re getting the most camera you can for the price and pick a brand that suits your liking.

How we chose these Cyber Monday camera deals

As we were choosing the best Cyber Monday camera deals we set out to ensure we were suggesting things that offer the most bang for the buck. Cameras can be expensive purchases, and while many of the features are pretty similar across brands and within camera lineups, certain discounts were more appealing. We focused primarily on finding the largest discounts available on cameras we know to be popular choices among a broad range of shoppers.

High end, professional-grade cameras come in at extremely high price points, and it’s rare to find a discount on models aimed at professionals. We stayed away from these cameras when tracking down the best Cyber Monday camera deals, and instead filled our list with more practical options. We also focused on brands recognizable to most consumers, as they make cameras with the affordability, ease of use, and lens options general consumers are typically looking for.
