It can be a little hard to any details when you're holding it at the end of a selfie stick, but it's clear enough to make sure you frame the shot correcting. It also has excellent image stabilization that's on par with the GoPro Hero 7 (I have not had a chance to compare it to the Hero 8). The HDR video option opens up shadows in difficult, backlit shots and does so even when panning into a scene. The Osmo Action is compatible with most mounts and accessories designed for the GoPro, the exception are lens filters, which are screw-mount filters on the Osmo Action. - -**TIRED**: The Osmo Action does have an Achilles's heal: no GPS support. Unlike the GoPro Hero 8,you won't be able to pair your photos up with the GPS track. There's also no integrated support for sharing your shots and videos on social media. To me both of those pale next to the other downside, the use of blue text in menus, which is very hard to see in bright sunlight. - -####OtterBox Defender iPhone case for $30 ($20 off) -[Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/OtterBox-Defender-Case-iPhone-Plus/dp/B01K6PAS50/tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow} - -OtterBox cases are big, bulky, and bombproof.

Rather than the 3X or 4X optical zoom found in most competitors, this camera has a lens with 10X. The camera's 1-inch sensor is on par with some of the best compact cameras. Standard 4K video and Wi-Fi, along with a great touchscreen interface, make this camera feature-full and easy-to-use. - -####Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II for $399 ($80 off) - -*[B&H Photo](https://fave.co/2OhsMfT){: rel=nofollow}*, *[Adorama](https://fave.co/33uXab9){: rel=nofollow}* - -This little Canon hits the sweet spot for price, features, and image quality ([8/10, WIRED Recommends](https://www.wired.com/review/review-canon-powershot-g7-x-mark-ii/)).

You no longer have to deal with a mounting cage, and some new add-ons make for easier vlogging. But the real highlight is the new customizable menu system, which simplifies using the camera in extreme conditions. - -####Olympus Tough TG-6 Waterproof Camera for $349 ($100 off) - -*[Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Olympus-Tough-TG-6-Waterproof-Camera/dp/B07RC8HPHL/?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow}*, *[Adorama](https://fave.co/2q3O0Vm){: rel=nofollow}* - -The Olympus TG-6 is a tough little camera that soars where smartphones crash ([8/10, WIRED Recommends](https://www.wired.com/review/olympus-tough-tg-6/)). It offers excellent image quality for a small camera (complete with support for RAW images), and it's nearly indestructible. If you want a camera that's a GoPro-style, go-anywhere machine but retains the lens and sensor quality of a point-and-shoot, the TG-6 is your best bet. The only thing I don't like about it is the inscrutable menu system.

The Hero 7 is a very capable action camera with 4K video ([8/10, WIRED Recommends](https://www.wired.com/review/gopro-hero7-black-2018/)). It lacks the custom menu features of the Hero 8 Black, but the sensor and lens are the same. - -####DJI Osmo Action for $279 ($100 off) - -*[DJI](https://fave.co/2OGciwZ){: rel=nofollow}*, *[Amazon ($254)](https://www.amazon.com/DJI-Digital-Displays-Waterproof-HDR-Video/dp/B07RJMK2GV/?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow}*, *[Best Buy](https://bestbuy.7tiv.net/c/1305164/614286/10014?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fdji-osmo-action-camera-gray%2F6348647.p%3FskuId%3D6348647&subid1=blackfridayphotodeals2019){: rel=nofollow}*, *[Adorama](https://fave.co/34v4zZk){: rel=nofollow}* - -DJI's Osmo Action is my favorite action cam ([8/10, WIRED Recommends](https://www.wired.com/review/dji-osmo-action-camera/)), and at this price it's an even sweeter deal.

The result is an easy way to get super smooth video as you run, walk, ski, even skydive. The downside is that it's pricey, even on sale. If you have a mobile device capable of quality video, the DJI Osmo Mobile ([8/10, WIRED Recommends](https://www.wired.com/review/dji-osmo-mobile-3/)) is worth considering. (Unfortunately, it's not on sale.) - -####Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic for $120 ($30 off) - -*[Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-Instax-Mini-Neo-Classic/dp/B00FR85IRK/?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow}*, *[B&H Photo](https://fave.co/2OokFOJ){: rel=nofollow}*, *[Adorama](https://fave.co/2sjf2sr){: rel=nofollow}* - -Fujifilm's Instax prints are a breath of fresh air in a digital world. The miniature Polaroid-style prints aren't the highest-quality images, but they sure are fun. The Instax Mini 90 is the best Instax camera the company makes. The Mini 90 Neo Classic is compact, comes with a long-lasting rechargeable battery, and gives you more creative control with a push-button close-up lens and a double exposure mode. It's also super easy to take a selfie from just about any angle. - -####Polaroid Originals Onestep 2 with film for $80 ($50 off) - -*[Best Buy](https://bestbuy.7tiv.net/c/1305164/614286/10014?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fpolaroid-originals-onestep-2-vf-camera-and-film-bundle-graphite%2F6343645.p%3FskuId%3D6343645&subid1=blackfridayphotodeals2019){: rel=nofollow}*, *[B&H Photo ($99, no film)](https://fave.co/2Y3tWPo){: rel=nofollow}* - -There are [instant cameras we like better](https://www.wired.com/gallery/best-instant-cameras/), but if you want a Polaroid, and the larger prints you get with Polaroids, this is our top pick ([6/10, WIRED Review](https://www.wired.com/2017/09/review-polaroid-originals-onestep-2/)). - - -####Fujifilm Mini 9 Instant Camera with film for $50 ($35 off) - -*[Best Buy](https://bestbuy.7tiv.net/c/1305164/614286/10014?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Ffujifilm-instax-mini-9-instant-film-camera-bundle-purple-pink%2F6362519.p%3FskuId%3D6362519&subid1=blackfridayphotodeals2019){: rel=nofollow}* - -Fujifilm's Mini 9 is an affordable way into the instant camera world.

As a fun bonus, you can also print out photos from your phone with an app. It's not the steepest discount, but it's a new camera and we haven't seen it on sale before now. - -##Mirrorless and DSLR Deals - -[#image: /photos/5cd4bbb8426f104d1f89dd87]|||||| - -Be sure to check out our guide to [mirrorless cameras](https://www.wired.com/story/mirrorless-cameras-buying-guide/) for some added context. - -####Sony Alpha A7 II Mirrorless Camera with 28-70mm lens for $998 ($600 off) - -*[B&H Photo](https://fave.co/34n3naq){: rel=nofollow}*, *[Adorama](https://fave.co/2qXhBA2){: rel=nofollow}* - -This Sony A7 II kit deal is one of the best I've seen this holiday. You get a great camera (albeit one that's a few years old) with one of the best kit lenses I've used. No, it's not a fast prime, but it's better than you think. If you've been looking to get into the full-frame mirrorless camera system, you'd be hard-pressed to find a cheaper way to do it. - -####Sony Alpha A7R III Camera Body for $2,498 ($300 off) - -*[B&H Photo](https://fave.co/2OIMvUX){: rel=nofollow}*, *[Amazon](https://amzn.to/2QZnwiK){: rel=nofollow}*, *[Best Buy](https://bestbuy.7tiv.net/c/1305164/614286/10014?u=https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-alpha-a7r-iii-full-frame-mirrorless-camera-body-only-black/6154300.p?skuId=6154300&subid1=blackfridayphotodeals2019){: rel=nofollow}*, *[Adorama](https://fave.co/2DstznW){: rel=nofollow}* - -Sony recently released the A7R IV, which we have not had a chance to play with yet, but honestly, it's hard to imagine what could top the previous version. The A7R III offers a 42-megapixel full-frame sensor with fantastic dynamic range and great clarity in the details. This camera is also no slouch when it comes to video. - -####Panasonic Lumix G9 Mirrorless Camera Body for $998 ($500 off) - -*[Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/PANASONIC-Mirrorless-Megapixels-High-Resolution-DC-G9KBODY/dp/B0774KTV1X/?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow}*, *[Adorama](https://fave.co/37SzuRj){: rel=nofollow}* - -The Panasonic Lumix G9 features a 20.3-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor, but can also do an in-camera JPEG or RAW composite image for a 80 megapixels combined image.

Aimed at those looking to step up from the world of smartphone photography, the Z50 is still reasonably light and compact but gives you the power of a much larger sensor and interchangeable lenses. I've played with it a bit and like what I've captured so far, especially using the very compact 16-50mm lens. This deal also includes a 50-250mm, giving you a huge focal-length range in a small, two-lens setup. - -####Canon EOS 6D Mark II for $1,199 ($400 off) - -*[B&H Photo (with accessories)](https://fave.co/2QNn6vT){: rel=nofollow}*, *[Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Canon-Mark-Digital-Camera-Body/dp/B072MZCJKN/?tag=w050b-20){: rel=nofollow}*, *[Adorama](https://fave.co/2XVDJqy){: rel=nofollow}* - -Canon's long-awaited sequel to the 6D brings a much better 45-point autofocus system, a larger 26-megapixel sensor, and an articulating touchscreen.

At this price? Definitely. It's capable of turning out fantastic images, the low-light performance is excellent, and the autofocus, while not on par with the current top of the line, is very good.

It's light, compact, and delivers fantastic images. At this price you're getting a quality APS-C interchangeable lens system for the cost of a point-and-shoot. If you're not interested in the kit lens (and unlike the kit lens for the A7 II above, this one is just so-so), you can get the [A6000 body alone for $398 ($150 off)](https://fave.co/2KS16wb){: rel=nofollow}. - -####Panasonic Lumix GX85 Mirrorless Camera with two lenses for $448 - -*[Adorama](https://fave.co/2KYBDBd){: rel=nofollow}* - -The GX85 is a great rangerfinder-style Micro Four Thirds camera ([7/10, WIRED Review](https://www.wired.com/2016/11/review-panasonic-lumix-gx85/)). It's a couple years old, but the 20-megapixel sensor is very sharp even by today's standards. The only downside is the electronic viewfinder, which is not great. But this kit is well-suited for travel, with two lenses that cover a huge range of photo situations. - -####Deals on Lenses - -- [Adorama](https://fave.co/2OsJgC2){: rel=nofollow} and [B&H Photo](https://fave.co/2rECAaN){: rel=nofollow} have some great deals on lenses for just about every camera system. -- For Canon, there's a great deal on the [Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L $499 ($300 off)](https://fave.co/33xvrGC){: rel=nofollow}.

[Fujifilm's 16mm F1.4 lens](https://fave.co/2P7c6XV){: rel=nofollow} is on sale for $899 ($100 off), and my favorite Micro Four Thirds lens, the Panasonic Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 gets a minor [discount at $268 ($30 off)](https://fave.co/2stCXFR){: rel=nofollow} (it's a great deal at full price). -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
