We might be a while away from seeing Black Friday camera deals, especially since there are other sales in between to snag a bargain or two – like the second Amazon Prime Day sale in October – but we're here to help you get ready for the year's biggest sale season.

Whether you want to upgrade to one of the best mirrorless cameras, invest in a brand new camera phone or you're looking for a shiny new telephoto lens, Black Friday is a great time to snap up a new kit or update your existing one. Aussie retailers will be vying for your attention, so you'll see significant price drops from several outlets that will help you save a pretty penny.

Fujifilm GFX 100S (body) | AU$8,999.95 AU$6,349.96 at Ted's Cameras (AU$2,649.99 off after cashback)

While Ted's had only discounted this medium-format camera to AU$7,649.96, there was a whopping AU$1,300 cashback offer available from Fujifilm via redemption that made this one the biggest highlights of last year's Black Friday sale. 102MP on tap for the price of a premium full-framer is a bargain for anyone who mostly does studio work.

Leica SL2 (body) | AU$10,799 AU$9,895 at Diamonds Camera (AU$904 off)

It's very rare to find a Leica camera – any of them – discounted at any time of year, so seeing the SL2 full-framer get over AU$900 slashed off its rather exorbitant price tag was a surprise. In the grand scheme of things, that's not a huge saving, but hey, on a Leica it always is.

Nikon Z8 (body) | AU$6,799 AU$5,799 at Ted's Cameras (AU$1,000 off)

While the Nikon Z9 got a received a AU$1,541 discount on Amazon, we thought the grand off on the Z8 from Ted's was the better deal. It's got everything the Z9 can get you – with the exception of the dual controls on the bigger body – at a slightly lower price point. It's been cheaper since, dropping to around AU$5,336 on Amazon, so it's one to keep an eye on.

GoPro Hero 12 Black | AU$649 AU$487 at The Good Guys eBay (AU$162 off)

It's now been succeeded by the GoPro Hero 13 Black, but the snapping up the 12 last year for just AU$487 was one of the highlights of the Black Friday 2023 sale season. This came via an eBay listing on the official Good Guys store and with the use one of eBay's many checkout codes.

Fujifilm XF 150-600mm f/5.6-8 R LM OIS WR | AU$3,199AU$1,999 at CameraPro

Fujifilm XF 150-600mm f/5.6-8 R LM OIS WR | AU$3,199 AU$1,999 at CameraPro (AU$1,200 off after cashback)

While the actual discount on this supertelephoto lens wasn't all that much, the additional cashback offer that Fujifilm had going then made it one heck of a deal. Offering a focal length range equivalent to 229-914mm in 35mm terms, this lens can get you closer to the action when paired with one of the best Fujifilm X-series cameras.
