I’ve been reviewing cameras for fifteen years, and despite never owning aCanoncamera myself, I am entirely familiar with the system after reviewing thebest Canon cameras, during which Canon has been the market leader for sustained periods.
Beginners and pros alike fall in love with Canon’s colors, and the intuitive handling of its DSLR and mirrorless models. In fact, Canon’s latest mirrorless cameras have maintained the DSLR-style body and are an easy transition from Canon’s aged DSLR system.
Canon gear, at least in Europe, costs a premium over rivals. Perhaps the market leader dines off its stellar reputation. The good news this Prime Day is that many Canon DSLR and mirrorless cameras and lenses are at record low prices, bringing them back on par with rival models.
You can now get Canon’s entry-level EOS R100 for a record-low price – it’s the first time you can enter the Canon mirrorless system for under $500 / £520. This model may lack some of the features of its pricier siblings like the EOS R10 (which is also on sale in the UK), but it has the same 24MP APS-C sensor and choice of lenses.
Elsewhere, Canon’s best-ever macro lens is at record low prices, so it could be the time to get up close and personal with the RF 100mm F2.8 L IS USM lens and its world-first 1.4x magnification with precise autofocus.
In this Canon deals roundup, you’ll find both mirrorless and DSLR cameras and lenses, for a range of budgets. Keep in mind that you must be a Prime member to shop today’s offers. If you aren’t already a member, you cansign up for a free 30-day trial, which will take you through toAmazon’s Prime Big Deals Days sale event.

Canon EOS R100 with RF-S 15-45mm lens:was $599.99now $499.99 at AmazonCanon’s entry-level EOS R100 is at a record low price which makes it the cheapest way to get into the Canon RF-mount ecosystem. This APS-C format DSLR-style camera is the smallest and lightest in Canon’s lineup and packs the same 24MP sensor as many of its pricier siblings, but its fixed rear screen is not touch sensitive, which will take some adjusting if you’re stepping up from a smartphone.
Canon RF 24mm F1.8 Macro IS STM:was $599.99now $479.99
This tiny, walk-around lens offers a slightly wider perspective to the main camera in most smartphones, which makes it a perfect vlogging lens, especially with its bright F1.8 aperture, perfect for blurring backgrounds. Its close focusing is also a bonus, with a 0.5x maximum magnification which is more than enough to capture the little details in addition to the sweeping landscapes. Now with 20% off, this could be the lens that lives on your Canon mirrorless camera.

The 24MP EOS M200 is the baby of the range, perfect for vlogging with 4K video and a 3-inch touch screen. The tiny, and also on-sale this Prime Day, EF-M 22mm f/2 lens makes a great pairing.

Canon EOS R10 (body only):was £999now £698 at AmazonWe rated this camera one of the best options for beginners in ourCanon EOS R10 reviewand today’s Prime Day discount brings it down to a tantalizing price. Not only is the Canon R10 lightweight and compact thanks to its APS-C mount, but it’s surprisingly snappy when it comes to autofocus and burst modes.
