Godox V100-C Flash for Canon

100Ws TTL Canon Speedlite HSS 1/8000S, Touchscreen Control, 400 FulI Power Flashes, Lithium Battery, 1.7s Recycle Time, 2.4G Wireless External Flash(USA Version)

This flash offers 100Ws of power, a quick 1.7-second recycle time, a round head for natural light, and a Li-ion battery for longer shooting sessions. In short, it has everything event, wedding, and portrait photographers need in a flash.

This 15% discount is a good deal on Godox’s latest flagship model. We think you should secure this powerful tool weeks ahead of the Black Friday rush.

Why The Godox V100-C Stands Out

Stock image of the Godox V100 C V100-C Flash for Canon from bhphoto
What We Think

The V100-C delivers 100Ws of output which is enough to overpower bright sunlight. With its color touchscreen for instant adjustments and a robust lithium-ion battery, it is built to handle the most demanding professional workflows with ease.

Reasons to Buy
  • Massive 100Ws Power (Overpowers daylight more effectively than the 76Ws V1/V1Pro)
  • Responsive Color Touchscreen (Fastest menu navigation in a flash to date)
  • Round Head Design (Creates beautiful, soft light even without modifiers)
  • Shoots 400 full-power pops consecutively without overheating
Reasons to Avoid
  • Slightly heavier than standard speedlights
  • Recycle time (1.7s) is marginally slower than V1 Pro (1.5s) due to higher power
  • Fewer flashes per charge (400) compared to lower-power models
Specifications
  • Power Output: 100Ws (1/1 to 1/256)
  • Recycle Time: 1.7 seconds (Full Power)
  • Battery: VB30 Li-ion (400 Full Power Flashes)
  • Interface: Color Touchscreen Control
  • Flash Sync Speed : 1/8000
Show more

The headline feature is the 100Ws power. Most speedlights max out around 76Ws, meaning the V100 gives you that extra stop of light crucial for outdoor portraits or event shoots.

The flash offers long battery life (400 full power flashes) and short recycle time (approx.1.7seconds recycle time). For event, wedding, and sports photographers, this means you can shoot longer without missing moments.

The touchscreen menu makes adjustments faster than the old multi-button speedlight layouts. And finally, the flash also integrates with the Godox 2.4GHz wireless system, so it pairs with existing Godox strobes and triggers. If you already shoot with Godox lights, this fits right into your setup with no learning curve.

Who Is This Deal For and Is It a Good Time to Buy?

This flash is made for Canon wedding, sports, and event photographers who find standard speedlights too weak but don’t want to carry a heavy AD200 or strobe. It is the perfect middle ground of portability and power.

With a 15% discount on such a new, high-demand release, the price of $296 is a standout bargain. So if you’re thinking about upgrading your lighting kit, now’s a good time before the Black Friday rush kicks in.

Godox has unveiled its latest innovation — a modular compact flash and wireless trigger system that supports TTL and HSS across all major camera brands. The new iT32 Mini Flash and X5 TTL Wireless Flash Trigger are now available for preorder for just $98 as a kit.

A Compact, Modular Flash with Modern Features

At first glance, the Godox iT32 Flash looks like a conventional speedlight, complete with a rotating and tilting head, built-in reflector and diffuser, rear touchscreen interface, and an LED modeling lamp. Inside, it packs a 2.4GHz wireless receiver, a 900mAh rechargeable lithium battery, and a USB-C port for charging and firmware updates. It also supports magnetic color filters, adding flexibility for creative lighting setups.

Where the iT32 truly stands out is in its modular design. Unlike most flashes with a built-in hot shoe connection, the iT32 features a detachable dumb hot shoe, allowing it to mount directly onto a camera or other accessories. The hot shoe can also be removed entirely to attach the flash magnetically to the Godox X5 Wireless Flash Trigger.

“The magnetic interface between iT32 and X5 ensures a stable, one-click connection that’s firm yet quick to detach,” Godox explains. Once connected, the flash automatically identifies the X5 version to provide full TTL and HSS support for the specific camera system in use.

Wireless Integration Across the Godox Ecosystem

The iT32 acts as a 2.4GHz wireless receiver, while the X5 serves as both a transmitter and controller. Godox promises a stable and instant connection between the two, eliminating the need for manual pairing.

Interestingly, the X5 and iT32 can also function as a master controller for other Godox flashes with built-in 2.4GHz receivers, maintaining compatibility with the broader Godox X wireless system.

“The iT32 and X5 offer a universal solution for photographers working across different camera systems,” Godox says. “Its interchangeable magnetic X5 hot shoe allows instant switching between brands by simply changing the X5 version. This flexible design helps photographers focus more on creativity and less on equipment compatibility.”

While Godox’s wireless triggers have long supported cross-brand functionality, the modular, magnetic design of the iT32 system introduces a new level of portability and convenience for hybrid shooters.

Compact Build and Capable Performance

The iT32 Mini Flash is impressively compact, measuring only 101 x 56 x 39 millimeters and weighing 170 grams. It offers a guide number of 18 meters (ISO 100), a flash duration as fast as 1/30,000s, and a recycle time of 1.5 seconds.

Users can adjust flash power from 1/128 to 1/1 in 1/3-stop increments, with ±3 EV flash compensation available. The iT32 can also be triggered wirelessly up to 80 meters away, making it versatile for on-location shoots.

Pricing and Availability

The Godox iT32 TTL Mini Flash is available for preorder now for $79, while the Godox X5 Wireless Trigger retails for $19.90. The X5 will be available in multiple versions for Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, OM System, and Sony cameras.

The iT32 + X5 kit is priced at $98 and will begin shipping soon through major retailers and the official Godox store.

AstrHori Introduces 9mm F/2.8 Ultra-Wide Lens With Near-Zero Distortion https://www.imaging-resource.com/news/astrhori-introduces-9mm-f-2-8-ultra-wide-lens-with-near-zero-distortion/ https://www.imaging-resource.com/news/astrhori-introduces-9mm-f-2-8-ultra-wide-lens-with-near-zero-distortion/#respond Mon, 10 Nov 2025 18:41:31 +0000 https://www.imaging-resource.com/?p=1038140 AstrHori has announced a new 9mm F/2.8 ultra-wide lens designed for APS-C cameras, available for Nikon Z, Fujifilm X, Sony E, Canon RF, and Micro Four Thirds mounts.

AstrHori has announced a new 9mm F/2.8 ultra-wide lens designed for APS-C cameras, available for Nikon Z, Fujifilm X, Sony E, Canon RF, and Micro Four Thirds mounts. Priced at just $169, this lens brings ultra-wide-angle photography within reach for budget-conscious shooters.

Ultra-Wide Field of View with Minimal Distortion

The AstrHori 9mm F/2.8 offers a 111.4° field of view, equivalent to 13.5mm on full-frame, making it ideal for landscape, architecture, travel, and still-life photography. Despite its wide coverage, AstrHori says the lens delivers near-zero distortion, avoiding the fisheye look that typically comes with extreme wide angles.

“This non-fisheye wide-angle lens keeps distortion to a minimum, capturing ultra-wide views in a single shot. Architectural lines remain straight and true, delivering both efficiency and precision,” the company explains.

With a fast F/2.8 maximum aperture, the lens also performs well in low-light situations, making it suitable for night cityscapes and indoor environments.

Optical Design and Build Quality

The optical construction consists of 11 elements in 8 groups, including 2 aspherical and 3 extra-low dispersion (ED) elements to minimize chromatic aberrations and enhance sharpness. The seven-blade diaphragm supports smooth, rounded bokeh, while the F/2.8 to F/16 aperture range provides flexibility for different lighting conditions.

As a manual-focus-only lens, it’s well-suited to deliberate compositions — and with such a wide focal length, achieving sharp focus across the frame is relatively easy.

Despite its affordability, AstrHori has opted for a metal construction with a knurled focusing ring, engraved markings, and a built-in lens hood. The design is compact and lightweight, measuring just 307 grams, with a look that evokes a touch of vintage character.

Competing in the Budget Ultra-Wide Space

The AstrHori 9mm F/2.8 enters the same category as the Viltrox AF 9mm F/2.8, another affordable ultra-wide lens for APS-C cameras. While the Viltrox offers autofocus and a more compact design, AstrHori’s version emphasizes optical precision, minimal distortion, and durable metal construction.

In essence, the AstrHori 9mm is better suited for photo-centric users who prefer manual control and value fine image rendering, while the Viltrox 9mm Air caters to content creators seeking portability and autofocus convenience.

Pricing and Availability

The AstrHori 9mm F/2.8 is available now for $169 through major retailers, including B&H Photo. It supports Nikon Z, Fujifilm X, Sony E, Canon RF, and Micro Four Thirds mounts.

Alongside the launch of the EOS R6 Mark III, Canon has unveiled the new RF 45mm F/1.2 STM, a compact and lightweight standard prime lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras. Designed as a more affordable alternative to the high-end RF 50mm f/1.4L VCM and RF 50mm f/1.2L USM, this lens offers impressive low-light performance and shallow depth of field at a fraction of the price.

Compact Design and Bright Aperture

Priced at just $469.99, the RF 45mm F/1.2 STM is aimed at photographers who want a fast, character-rich prime without the premium cost. The bright f/1.2 maximum aperture makes it ideal for shooting in low-light environments like concerts, events, or indoor portraits, while also delivering pleasing background separation for creative effects.

Canon describes the RF 45mm F/1.2 STM as a lens with “character,” implying that it delivers a softer, more organic rendering rather than a technically perfect, ultra-sharp look. This aesthetic quality should appeal to photographers who prefer a more expressive image style.

Optical Design and Build

The optical construction features nine elements in seven groups, including a single PMo aspherical element—a plastic-molded optic that helps reduce costs and size without overly compromising quality. Canon notes that image correction is handled largely in-camera, which is expected for lenses in this price category.

Despite its wide aperture, the lens remains remarkably compact at 75mm in length and lightweight at 346g. It also accepts 67mm filters, keeping accessory compatibility simple and affordable.

Autofocus and Handling

Autofocus is driven by a stepping motor (STM) with magnetic detection, offering smooth and accurate focusing for stills. However, Canon acknowledges that the STM system can be slightly noisier than the premium VCM autofocus motors found in its L-series lenses, which may be noticeable during video recording.

Pricing and Availability

The Canon RF 45mm F/1.2 STM will be available in December 2025 for $469.99 and is now open for pre-order from major retailers.

After months of anticipation, Canon has officially announced the EOS R6 Mark III, the third-generation model in its compact full-frame mirrorless lineup. The new version introduces a significant leap in resolution and performance, making it a more capable hybrid camera for both photographers and filmmakers.

Our Editor-in-Chief, David Schloss, has had some hands-on time with the R6 Mark III, and notes that the camera’s video capabilities are much improved from the previous generation. He also mentions that while the upgrades on the photography side may seem a bit more minor and tend to be overlooked compared to the new video-centric features. David also breaks down what has changed from the R6 Mark II to the Mark III and all the other new items found in the newer version.

A Major Leap in Resolution and Performance

At the heart of the EOS R6 Mark III is a new 32.5-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, similar to the one found in the recently launched Cinema EOS C50. This represents a 34% increase from the previous 24.2-megapixel sensor, promising improved dynamic range, detail, and low-light performance. With this bump, the R6 Mark III now rivals hybrid favorites like the Sony A7 IV in resolution and versatility.

The camera retains Canon’s DIGIC X processor and Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system, offering 100% autofocus coverage and sensitivity down to –6.5 EV, ideal for low-light scenes. A new pre-continuous shooting mode, borrowed from Canon’s flagship R1 and R5 Mark II, allows photographers to capture moments even before fully pressing the shutter.

Improved Stabilization and Handling

Canon has also reworked the in-body image stabilization (IBIS), now capable of delivering up to 8.5 stops of compensation at the frame center or 7.5 stops at the periphery when paired with optically stabilized lenses. This makes handheld shooting smoother for both stills and video, especially in low-light conditions.

7K Open-Gate Video and Professional-Grade Features

Despite being positioned as a photo-centric camera, the R6 Mark III is a true hybrid system. It can record 7K 25p open-gate video, taking full advantage of the sensor’s width. Oversampled 4K 60p and 4K 30p from 7K capture are also supported, along with 7K 59.95 RAW Light and 4K 119.8 fps recording options.

Colorists and editors will appreciate support for Canon Log 2 and Canon Log 3, ensuring wide dynamic range and flexible post-production workflows. The camera also includes a full-size HDMI port, a welcome improvement for external recording setups.

Faster Storage and Expanded Connectivity

For storage, the EOS R6 Mark III now includes dual CFexpress Type B card slots (up to 8 TB) alongside a UHS-II SD card slot. The move to CFexpress Type B ensures higher write speeds and reliability for demanding 7K and RAW video recording.

Pricing and Availability

The Canon EOS R6 Mark III is now available for pre-order at major retailers for $2,799 (body only). It will also come in two kits:

  • $3,149 with the RF 24–105mm f/4–7.1 IS STM
  • $4,049 with the RF 24–105mm f/4L IS USM

The camera is scheduled to ship starting November 25, 2025.

The Canon RF 28mm f/2.8 STM is one of those products that excel in usability and versatility. It is designed for a full-frame camera, but can be used just as confidently on Canon’s APS-C bodies.

Why We Like the Canon RF 28mm 2.8

Skilled photographers can use the 28mm focal length for a variety of purposes, including documentaries and street photography. The Canon RF 28mm f/2.8 STM Lens is tailored for those purposes because it is light and small, measuring only 69.2 x 24.7 mm. What’s more, it is constructed in pancake lens style.

The lens is reasonably bright at f/2.8, and its optical design comprises eight elements arranged in six groups. Like most Canon lenses, it produces neat, crisp images with notable center sharpness. The lens also has a very usable close focusing distance of 23 cm, and it focuses smoothly and accurately. Overall, it is a good product that many photographers will enjoy using. Check out more discounts on photography products on our Best Black Friday Deals page.

  • Ultra-compact design weighs only 120 g
  • 28 mm wide-angle view

Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L is USM Lens

Full-time manual focus permits critical focusing precision, even in AF mode. Help provide excellent color balance Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm Dual Pixel CMOS AF covers Approx.

Canon’s 16–35mm f/4L IS USM adds image stabilization (up to 4 stops), superb optical sharpness, and rugged L-series construction, all in a compact body. The 16–35mm focal range hits the sweet spot for landscapes and commercial photography, and its built-in image stabilization keeps your handheld shots sharp even in low light. No wonder why it has long been a go-to for professionals and enthusiasts alike.

Why the Canon EF 16–35mm f/4L IS USM Stands Out

Best Value
image of Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM
Bottom Line

A pro-level wide-angle zoom for serious photographers and videographers who want sharp, stabilized performance in a lighter package.

Reasons to Buy
  • Exceptional center sharpness and good edge performance when stopped down
  • Built-in 4-stop image stabilization
  • Weather-sealed, fluorine-coated L-series build
  • Fast, silent USM autofocus
Reasons to Avoid
  • Some corner softness at f/4 on full-frame
  • Noticeable vignetting at 16mm wide open
  • f/4 max aperture limits low-light depth-of-field control
Specifications
  • Focal Length: 16–35mm
  • Maximum Aperture: f/4
  • Image Stabilization: Yes (up to 4 stops)
  • Autofocus: USM Motor
  • Mount: Canon EF
Show more

In our review, we discussed how the Canon EF 16–35mm f/4L IS USM is a dependable tool for everyday wide-angle work. It brings image stabilization to a wide-angle zoom which was a rare thing around the time of its launch. This makes it a practical choice for landscape, travel and commercial photographers who prefer to shoot handheld. Its combination of three aspherical and two UD elements delivers strong optical performance, and the fluorine coating helps keep the front element clean in the field. 

On crop-sensor bodies, the lens stays sharp across the frame even wide open, while full-frame users will see the best results around 20mm at f/8. Image stabilization adds an extra layer of flexibility for low-light or video work, where slower shutter speeds can still produce crisp results without a tripod.

Build quality reflects Canon’s L-series standards: weather-sealed, solidly constructed, and designed for reliability in varied shooting conditions. Compared to Canon’s older 17–40mm f/4L, it’s sharper and adds stabilization; Compared to the 16–35mm f/2.8L II, it trades aperture speed for better edge performance and portability. For photographers who value sharpness, stability, and durable design over sheer speed, this lens strikes a smart balance between performance and practicality.

Who Is This Deal For and Is It a Good Time to Buy?

This lens is ideal for professional photographers and videographers who want ultra-wide versatility with stabilization. If you shoot handheld or often work in dim environments, IS gives you steadier results, especially handy for video and tripod-free work. It’s also a smart pickup for Canon mirrorless shooters using the EF-to-RF adapter who want a high-end zoom without RF-series prices.

With a $400 discount and one of its lowest-ever prices ahead of Black Friday, this is a strong buy. Deals on Canon L-series glass don’t come around often, and this one is likely to attract photographers looking for a reliable, professional-grade zoom. So you gotta hurry before the stock runs out.

That $50 savings may not sound massive, but it’s enough to push the R100 firmly into “great value” territory for new photographers. It’s compact, easy to use, and delivers the image quality Canon’s EOS R system is known for.

In our Best Canon Cameras Buyer’s Guide, we discussed how the Canon EOS R100 stands out for its affordability and simplicity. It’s built for everyday creators who want an easy-to-use camera with decent image quality without the bulk or complexity. The included RF-S18–45mm lens covers everything from casual portraits to travel photos, while Canon’s Dual Pixel AF keeps subjects sharp even in low light.

Despite being one of Canon’s most affordable cameras, it still benefits from the same color science and lens ecosystem used in higher-end models. That means you can start small, then grow your setup over time — a big win for beginners planning to upgrade down the road.

Even though video features are limited (4K video at 24fps only), it’s an affordable way to start learning photography.

Who Is This Deal For and Is It a Good Time to Buy?

If you’re stepping into photography or upgrading from your phone, the R100 kit is one of the most budget-friendly ways to join the Canon EOS R family. It’s also a beginner camera if you do travel photography just for fun. The included RF-S18–45mm F4.5–6.3 IS STM covers everyday needs like casual portraits and travel shoots, so you won’t need to buy another lens right away.

This 7% off deal is modest, but considering Canon usually runs deals on more flagship options, it’s worth grabbing before prices rise closer to Black Friday.

It’s an exciting time for Canon fans. The company has just released a teaser for what appears to be its next major camera announcement, set for November 6 at 1 a.m. ET. The premiere will stream live on the Canon USA YouTube channel.

The teaser image shows the back of a camera mounted on a tripod with the tagline “Elevate Your Image.” The phrase, paired with the visual, hints that Canon may be gearing up to release a photography-focused camera, possibly shifting attention back to stills after a string of video-centric releases like the EOS R50V and Cinema EOS C50.

Which Camera Will Be Announced?

Canon hasn’t revealed any specific details about the upcoming model, but the teaser’s tagline and composition strongly suggest a stills-oriented camera.

According to Canon Rumors and Photo Rumors, the announcement is likely for the Canon EOS R6 Mark III — a camera that’s been circulating in the rumor mill for a year now. The reports also hint that the RF 45mm f/1.2 STM lens could launch alongside it.

Rumored Canon EOS R6 Mark III Specifications

Here are the leaked specs, as reported by Canon Rumors:

  • 32MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor (Non-Stacked)
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with multiple subject detections
  • Can store up to 100 faces for autofocus recognition
  • IBIS: Up to 6.5 stops
  • 5.76m-dot EVF (0.76x)
  • Pre-capture function
  • Max Frame Rate: 40fps (Electronic Shutter)
  • Canon Log 2 & Log 3 support
  • LGOP (Long Group of Pictures) and All-I recording
  • New “S&F” Mode Dial for quick frame rate multipliers (e.g., 0.5x for 12fps, 2x for 48fps)
  • Max ISO: 64,000
  • Open Gate RAW 24/25p
  • 7K RAW Recording (12-bit CRM) with Linear PCM/AAC audio
  • Full-size HDMI Port
  • Dual Card Slots: CFexpress Type B & SD UHS-II
  • Battery: LP-E6P
  • Tentative Price: $2,899
  • Expected Shipping: November 20, 2025

Canon RF 45mm f/1.2 STM Core Specs

  • Optical quality comparable to the RF 50mm f/1.2L USM
  • Digital focus breathing correction
  • 67mm filter thread
  • Weight: 346g
  • Estimated Price: €499–€599

Pricing and Availability

If the leaks hold true, the Canon EOS R6 Mark III will retail for $2,899 and begin shipping on November 20, 2025 through major authorized retailers.

If you want a hybrid camera that handles both high-quality stills and video, it’s your lucky day. The Canon EOS R6 Mark II Mirrorless Camera with RF 24–105mm F4–7.1 IS STM lens is currently $2,399 on Amazon, saving you $400 ahead of Black Friday. Prefer to buy just the body? There’s also a $200 discount on the R6 Mark II body in a separate deal on Amazon.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II Body

FULL-FRAME CMOS SENSOR: 24.2 effective megapixels (approx.) lets you capture sharp, detailed images even in low-light conditions indoors and outdoors (compatible with Dual Pixel CMOS

The R6 Mark II features a 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor and the powerful DIGIC X processor. It’s built for hybrid creators who need speed, reliable autofocus, and strong low-light performance in a compact body. 

One of the two deals we’re covering here also comes with the versatile RF 24–105mm F4–7.1 IS STM lens so you can start shooting right away. This lens gives you a long zoom range starting 24mm wide within a compact and lightweight body. The lens’s Movie Servo AF uses a stepping motor (STM) for fast autofocus with still images and smooth, quiet autofocus for video.

Why the Canon EOS R6 Mark II Stands Out

Fast & Flexible
Canon EOS R6 Mark II
Bottom Line

Perfect for hybrid photographers and videographers who want pro stills and high-quality video in a compact camera.

What We Think

The Canon EOS R6 Mark II is one of the most versatile full-frame cameras for hybrid shooters. For starters, it strikes the perfect balance between performance and price. Its 24.2MP sensor and DIGIC X processor deliver stunning image quality, fast autofocus, and excellent low-light performance.

With 40fps electronic burst shooting and oversampled 4K 60p video, it’s equally comfortable capturing action or cinematic content. Improved subject detection powered by deep learning enhances focus accuracy for people, animals, and vehicles. Compact, weather-sealed, and intuitive to use, the R6 Mark II is a powerhouse for enthusiasts and professionals who want one camera that can do it all.

Reasons to Buy
  • 40fps electronic shutter with full autofocus tracking
  • Unlimited video recording eliminates workflow interruptions
  • 8-stop image stabilization enables handheld telephoto shooting
  • Advanced subject detection works across humans, animals, and vehicles
  • Dual card slots (CFexpress Type A + SD UHS-II)
  • Weather sealing rated for professional outdoor use
Reasons to Avoid
  • 24MP resolution limits heavy cropping compared to the R5 series
  • An electronic shutter can show rolling shutter with fast motion
  • Premium pricing approaches professional camera territory
  • A large file buffer can slow down after extended burst shooting
Specifications
  • Sensor: 24.2MP full-frame CMOS
  • Processor: DIGIC X
  • Autofocus: Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with subject detection
  • Video: 4K 60p, 6K oversampling, unlimited recording
  • Image Stabilization: 8-stop in-body stabilization
  • Viewfinder: 3.69M-dot OLED EVF
  • LCD: 3.0” fully articulating touchscreen
  • Battery: NP-E6NH (360 shots)
  • Burst Rate: 12fps mechanical, 40fps electronic
  • Dimensions: 5.4 x 3.8 x 3.5″ (138 x 98 x 88mm)
  • Weight: 1.5 lb (670g) with battery

The R6 Mark II takes everything that made the original R6 so popular up a notch. It features a 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor and the same DIGIC X processor found in Canon’s flagship models, resulting in sharper images, improved low-light performance, and impressive dynamic range. Plus, the Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system tracks subjects with incredible precision.

Videographers will appreciate its ability to record 6K RAW externally and 4K60p internally without heavy crop, along with 10-bit C-Log 3 support for cinematic grading. Combined with in-body image stabilization (up to 8 stops) and Canon’s color science, it’s a reliable hybrid camera that handles serious photo and video work with equal confidence.

Who Are These Deals For and Is It a Good Time to Buy?

In general, the EOS R6 Mark II is a great fit for hybrid shooters who want one camera that won’t hold them back when projects demand both high-quality stills and motion.

Whether you’re upgrading from an older EOS R or stepping into Canon’s full-frame mirrorless system for the first time, both the body-only and kit deals make sense depending on your needs. If you already have compatible RF or EF lenses, the body-only option gives you maximum flexibility at the lowest possible cost. For those starting fresh, the kit with the RF 24–105mm F4–7.1 IS STM lens delivers a versatile, everyday zoom that’s ideal for portraits, travel, and event coverage.

With $400 off before Black Friday, this is a strong time to buy. If you’ve been waiting for a hybrid upgrade (or need a compact pro body for projects this season), this price is worth locking in before inventory tightens.
