If you're in the market for a new camera, it pays to look for deals on photography equipment. There's no reason to pay more than you have to when there are simple ways to save on your next DSLR camera. We have the latest DSLR deals and offers right here so you don't have to spend your time searching for sales and promo codes.

When to Shop for DSLR Cameras

Purchasing a new camera during the spring after the latest models hit the shelves is a great way to save. Companies tend to introduce new products in January, and it takes a few months for those new selections to make it to your local store. If you wait until spring, when the newest versions become available to consumers, you can score great bargains on products from the year before. DSLR deals also tend to be available on Black Friday and during the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas. You can score discounts year round by using promo codes and coupons at stores with large selections of photography equipment, such as B&H Video.
