It's Black Friday and if you're reading this from bed—good job! You've no doubt realized the best deals can be had online without jockeying for a position in front of store doors. Twenty-odd years ago this day was uniquely American, a US retail industry term for the day after Thanksgiving, where holiday sales helped stores go from negative earnings (in the red) to profit (in the black) for the year. Today, it's morphed into a worldwide shopping event from South America to Australia and all points in between, and there are plenty of camera and photo gear deals to be found no matter where you reside around the globe. But how do you sort out what's a hidden gem at a discount versus junk masquerading as a great deal? We've got you covered with our round-up of the best Black Friday deals and newly updated buying guides.

| Sony a7C II review: small camera, little compromise The Sony a7C II refreshes the compact full-frame with a 33MP sensor, the addition of a front control dial, a dedicated 'AI' processor, 10-bit 4K/60p video and more. It's a definite improvement, but it helps if you value its compact form. |
