Today is the last day of Amazon Prime Day which means it's your last chance to snap up the Canon EOS R5 mirrorless camera with a massive $1000 discount. We like this deal as the camera features in our best cameras guide as the best for low-light conditions and it excels in astrophotography.
Save $1000 on the Canon EOS R5 mirrorless camera and get Amazon's lowest-ever price, or save almost £400 if you're UK-based.
In our Canon EOS R5 review, we were blown away by the 45MP sensor and its 8K video capabilities. We also found that it has the best-in-class ergonomics and a top-class autofocus system, with an ISO sensitivity range of 100-51,200 (expandable to 50-102,400) and 12fps continuous shooting. This means it's a stand-out option in both good and low-light conditions. This may be overkill for amateur photographers but you can rely on it for the perfect shot. Today is the last day of Prime Day and this is Amazon's lowest-ever price, so there's never been a better time to get this camera.
You can still get a hefty saving if you're UK-based too but if you're looking for a new camera and this isn't quite right, take a look at our camera deals, best cameras for astrophotography and best mirrorless cameras round-ups.

The Canon EOS R5 is definitely a camera aimed at specialized photographers and those with more experience. the specs on it will be overkill for amateurs but also for casual photographers who solely shoot during the daytime. The expandable ISO range and the top-of-the-range autofocus system help this camera excel in low-light conditions, which helps it stand out from the competition and make it worth considering if you're thinking about astrophotography.
The deal is worth considering for a number of reasons. Not only is a $900 discount a huge saving but it also means you'll get this camera ahead of Amazon Prime Day, so you beat the rush and secure the deal while there's stock. We are expecting to see several camera deals over the annual sales event as there were a number of notable savings last year but $900 off one of the best cameras (we think) is not to be passed up so easily.
Key Specs: 45MP full-frame CMOS sensor, 8K video capabilities, 12fps continuous shooting, ISO range of 100-51,200 (expandable to 50-102,400), high-quality autofocus and ergonomics.
Consensus: A very high-quality camera, and we rate it as the best for low-light conditions. If you're looking to invest in a camera that won't just fail to let you down but continuously excel, this could be the one. This deal is worth considering.
Buy if: You need a camera for astrophotography or low-light shooting and you're willing to invest.
Don't buy if: You're on a budget or you're a casual photographer.
