Okay, guys, anyone have any intel on potential Black Friday deals for the Sony a7CII in 2025? I know it's super early, but I'm saving up now to finally upgrade from my aging a6000.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated! I'm trying to make sure I have the funds available and am ready to pounce if a good deal comes along. Thanks in advance for any help!
Sony a7C II Black Friday deals now already live, it's $200 off at Amazon, B&H Photo Video, Adorama.

So basically, looking at what everyone else said, ur covered on the trackers and used options. But honestly, as someone who's used the Sony Alpha 7C II for a minute, I’d say don’t get *too* hung up on just the body price. Moving up from the a6000 is a huge leap, but full-frame lenses and "stuff" like extra Sony NP-FZ100 batteries really add up over time. I’m usually pretty cautious with my gear, and one thing I’ve noticed is that while it's a "compact" camera, the high-end glass makes it feel heavy fast. If ur planning to keep this for years, I’d prioritize a deal that maybe includes a decent lens kit rather than just the body. Tbh, I was worried about the single card slot for long-term reliability, but it’s been fine so far. Just make sure you factor in the cost of high-speed SD cards too, otherwise, the camera’s performance will feel bottlenecked. It’s a killer piece of tech, just gotta be smart about the total setup cost!
Honestly, I have been reading a lot of community reviews lately because I am also pretty worried about making such a big purchase and getting it wrong. One thing I keep seeing people mention in some of the photography groups is that if you have a student or teacher email, you can sometimes get an EDU discount through certain retailers that is actually better than the public Black Friday prices - so maybe check if you or someone you know qualifies for that? I also saw some people talking about how Sony Alpha 7C II with 28-60mm Lens Kit goes on sale more often than just the body alone. Since I am a beginner too, I am thinking about going that route just to be safe and make sure everything works together perfectly right out of the box. A few users mentioned that local camera shops sometimes have their own loyalty or trade-in events around the holidays that do not always show up on the big tracker sites. It might be worth calling a local place just to see if they do anything like that? I am always a bit paranoid about shipping issues or porch pirates with the big retailers during the holiday rush anyway.
Solid advice 👍
