Christmas is nearly upon us, but there’s still time to grab some last minute deals on the best cameras and best camera lenses, whether you’re hunting for a gift for a keen photographer or are buying for yourself.
How much time? That depends on where you shop; Amazon, Walmart and many other retailers are still delivering in time for Christmas. Some will even let you order as late as December 23, for delivery on Christmas Eve. However, we wouldn’t recommend you leave it that long. Aside from the fact that express shipping can cost extra, there’s always the risk that a delivery will get unexpectedly delayed. So the sooner you order, the better.
Camera deals
