You deserve an awesome camera. I’ve been a camera nerd for decades, so I know a good deal on one when I see one. Amazon’s Big Deal Days is a great opportunity to upgrade. Nikon’s Z8 is $3,296.95, $1,003 off its list price and $100 under the lowest price Amazon had charged for it before, going back to 2023. Nikon and DJI cut their camera and gimbal prices the night before the sale started, and the Nikon Z 6II and both DJI RS 4 gimbals are at record lows too. The drone, action camera and microphone deals arrived with the sale at 3am ET on Tuesday, October 6, including the DJI Neo Fly More Combo at $232.75 and the Shure MV7i at $269, both under any price Amazon has charged for them before. Amazon lists most of those as Prime member prices. The sale runs until 2:59am ET on Thursday, October 8.

A full-frame hybrid $100 under its previous low

Nikon pitches the Z8 as a professional full-frame hybrid for stills and video. For anyone who shoots product photos and short-form video for the same client, one body that does both means one battery system and one set of lenses to haul around. At $3,296.95 it’s $1,003 off list and $100 under the $3,396.95 Amazon charged in January 2025, its lowest price before tonight.

DJI RS 4 Mini Combo: $309 (was $459)

DJI RS 4 Mini Combo $309 (was $459)

A camera gimbal $10 under its previous low

Shaky handheld footage makes an expensive camera look cheap. The DJI RS 4 Mini Combo on sale for $309 takes $150 off a gimbal that DJI lists as compatible with Canon, Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm cameras, and it’s $10 under the $319 Amazon charged on June 22, its previous low. The full-size DJI RS 4 is $369, which is $30 under its own June low. Both DJI deals are open to everyone.

Nikon Z 6II: $1,296.95 (was $1,749.95)

Nikon Z 6II $1,296.95 (was $1,749.95)

Full-frame stills and video at its lowest recorded price

See It

Full-frame video for less than $1,300 is the draw here. The Nikon Z 6II at $1,296.95 is $453 off its list price, and Amazon hasn’t charged less for it since price tracking began in 2020. Nikon replaced it with the Z6III in 2024, so this is the older body. The price doesn’t require Prime.

Canon SELPHY CP1500 with ink and paper: $169.99 (was $199.99)

Canon SELPHY CP1500 with ink and paper $169.99 (was $199.99)

A bag-size photo printer bundle at its lowest recorded price

Selling prints at a market or running a photo booth at an event takes a printer that fits in a bag. Canon’s SELPHY CP1500 bundle at $169.99 comes with an RP-108 ink and paper set, according to the listing, and it’s $30 off and the lowest price Amazon has charged for it in two months of tracking. The smaller SELPHY QX20 is $159, though Amazon sold it for $113.99 in September 2025.

Drone deals

DJI’s Flip Fly More Combo at $588.05 is $30.95 under the lowest price Amazon had charged for it, which was $619 in March. The DJI Mini 3 Fly More Combo at $512.05 is also below anything Amazon has sold it for since 2022, and the DJI Neo Fly More Combo is $6.25 under its September low.
