Canon Archives - Blacker Friday

Canon’s Black Friday sale is one of the more anticipated events each year for photographers, videographers, and tech enthusiasts. Based on past years and what we’ve seen so far, Canon’s 2025 Black Friday event is expected to kick off on Monday, November 24, 2025, and run through Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025. The sale will be available directly through Canon’s official website at usa.canon.com, and potentially through their major retail partners as well, but stock tends to move quickly, so early shopping is usually the best approach.

What to Expect from Canon’s 2025 Black Friday Sale

As with previous years, Canon is expected to offer up to $500 off on select DSLR and mirrorless camera models. Discounts are typically applied to a wide range of products across categories, including:

Cameras: DSLR and mirrorless models, with savings on both body-only and kit bundles.
Lenses: Select EF, RF, and EF-S lenses are likely to be marked down.
Printers: Canon PIXMA and imageCLASS printers usually see solid discounts, especially on all-in-one models.
Binoculars and Camcorders: Niche categories, but Canon tends to include some models here as well.
Ink and Accessories: While not heavily discounted, you can expect some bundles or limited-time offers.

Example Deals from Last Year’s Black Friday Sale

To get an idea of what might be on the table this year, here are a few examples from Canon’s Black Friday event in 2024:

Canon EOS R6 Mark II (Body Only): Was $2,499, dropped to $1,999 — a $500 discount.
Canon EOS Rebel T8i Kit with 18-55mm Lens: Regularly priced at $899, on sale for $749.
Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens: Discounted from $199 to $159.
PIXMA G6020 MegaTank All-in-One Printer: On sale for $199.99, down from $299.99.
VIXIA HF G50 Camcorder: Reduced to $749.99 from its original price of $999.99.

These deals were available both on Canon’s website and through select retailers like B&H Photo, Adorama, and Best Buy.

Camera Deals to Watch For

Canon’s flagship mirrorless models, such as the EOS R5, R6 Mark II, and R7, could see modest price drops. If you’re looking to upgrade from an older DSLR or step into mirrorless for the first time, Black Friday might be your best opportunity to save.

Budget-friendly DSLR models, like the Rebel T8i or SL3, tend to get bundled with lenses and accessories. These bundles often include memory cards, camera bags, and even tripods, offering added value beyond the sticker price.

Lens Discounts

Canon typically includes a variety of lenses in their Black Friday promotions. In 2024, several EF and RF lenses were featured at 10% to 25% off. Entry-level primes and mid-range zooms, such as the RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM and the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM, are likely candidates for markdowns.

If you’re expanding your lens kit, this is a good time to look for the more affordable models, as high-end L-series lenses rarely see major price cuts.

Printers and Office Gear

Canon’s PIXMA line, particularly the MegaTank series, is frequently discounted around Black Friday. These printers are a solid choice for home offices or students and typically include some promotional bundle, like extra ink.

The imageCLASS laser printers are also sometimes discounted, though the savings here are usually smaller, in the 10-15% range.

Camcorders and Binoculars

Though less mainstream, Canon often includes camcorders like the VIXIA HF series in its Black Friday offerings. Discounts here usually range between $100 and $250, depending on the model.

Binoculars, including Canon’s image-stabilized models, can also be found with moderate discounts, often 10-20% off.

Flash Deals and Limited-Time Offers

Canon occasionally introduces flash sales during the Black Friday event. These are often one-day-only deals or limited to a set number of units. If you’re watching for these, it’s worth checking the site daily during the sale week. Email subscribers often get early access or notification of these deals.

Retailer Partnerships

In addition to Canon’s website, major authorized Canon dealers typically offer matching or similar deals:

B&H Photo Video
Adorama
Best Buy
Amazon (be cautious of third-party sellers)

These retailers may also offer financing, extended warranties, or exclusive bundles that differ slightly from Canon.com.

Shipping and Availability

Canon typically includes free standard shipping during their Black Friday promotions. As with most holiday sales, deals are valid while supplies last. Popular items—especially mid-range cameras and lenses—can sell out fast.

Terms and Exclusions

While Canon’s sale covers a lot, not everything is included. Exclusions generally apply to brand-new releases, high-end L-series glass, and limited-edition models. Deals also exclude taxes, shipping on expedited services, and gift cards. Items marked as “final sale” are often not eligible for return or exchange.
