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
If you’re into astrophotography, or are thinking of getting into it, Christmas is a fantastic time to buy a camera and not just because of the savings on offer. The long nights also mean you’ll have plenty of time to test your new gear out.
Aided by our experts, we’ve picked out the best last-minute deals on cameras, including major manufacturers like Sony, Canon and Nikon. Bear in mind that these deals are for the camera body only.

When it comes to photography, whether you’re snapping the night sky or taking pictures at a wedding, the best camera lenses can make all the difference. And, while you can buy body/lens bundles, most serious cameras are sold as bodies, allowing you to pick a lens that suits your needs.
