This camera took the best wildlife photo of 2025, and it just hit a record-low price for Black Friday Deals By Timothy Coleman published 28 November 2025

I concede that DSLRs aren't exactly cutting edge cameras anymore – that's a better descriptor for the best mirrorless cameras – however, don't write them off. After all, it was only last month that I reported on how the Nikon D850 was the camera used to take the winning image at the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2025 contest, beating a host of younger and fresher cameras.

Clearly, the 45MP full-frame D850 is still a powerful tool today (and in my opinion it's the greatest DSLR ever made). And there's a tempting Black Friday deal currently available for the body only – the Nikon D850 for $1,996.95 at Adorama (was $2,596.95) / Nikon D850 for £1,699 at Park Cameras (was £2,399).

• Check out my Black Friday camera deals roundup That same photo contest delivered another surprise – the most popular camera overall among the contest's entrants was the Canon EOS R5 – a full-frame mirrorless camera released in 2020. That 45MP camera also sinks to a new low price too – since it has been upgraded with the EOS R5 Mark II – now available for just $2,599 at Adorama (was $3,299).

Record-low priceCanon EOS R5 (Mark I): was US$3,299 now US$2,599 at Adorama

Now much cheaper than the EOS R5 Mark II (my Camera of the Year 2024), the original EOS R5 falls to just $2,599 – that's a record-low. Sure, you're missing out on the latest computational and cutting-edge autofocus features in the newer model, but there's a reason the original is such a popular camera with pros; it has that great 45MP full-frame sensor, 8k video, and excellent in-body image stabilization. I've added the link for a bundle which also includes a CFExpress Type B card, card reader and control ring adapter, all included at no extra cost.
