Canon’s Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

April 7, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Canon’s Black Friday sale is one of the more anticipated events each year for photographers, videographers, and tech enthusiasts. Based on past years and what we’ve seen so far, Canon’s 2025 Black Friday event is expected to kick off on Monday, November 24, 2025, and run through Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025. The sale will be available directly through Canon’s official website at usa.canon.com, and potentially through their major retail partners as well, but stock tends to move quickly, so early shopping is usually the best approach.

What to Expect from Canon’s 2025 Black Friday Sale

As with previous years, Canon is expected to offer up to $500 off on select DSLR and mirrorless camera models. Discounts are typically applied to a wide range of products across categories, including:

Cameras: DSLR and mirrorless models, with savings on both body-only and kit bundles.
Lenses: Select EF, RF, and EF-S lenses are likely to be marked down.
Printers: Canon PIXMA and imageCLASS printers usually see solid discounts, especially on all-in-one models.
Binoculars and Camcorders: Niche categories, but Canon tends to include some models here as well.
Ink and Accessories: While not heavily discounted, you can expect some bundles or limited-time offers.

Example Deals from Last Year’s Black Friday Sale

To get an idea of what might be on the table this year, here are a few examples from Canon’s Black Friday event in 2024:

Canon EOS R6 Mark II (Body Only): Was $2,499, dropped to $1,999 — a $500 discount.
Canon EOS Rebel T8i Kit with 18-55mm Lens: Regularly priced at $899, on sale for $749.
Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens: Discounted from $199 to $159.
PIXMA G6020 MegaTank All-in-One Printer: On sale for $199.99, down from $299.99.
VIXIA HF G50 Camcorder: Reduced to $749.99 from its original price of $999.99.

These deals were available both on Canon’s website and through select retailers like B&H Photo, Adorama, and Best Buy.

Camera Deals to Watch For

Canon’s flagship mirrorless models, such as the EOS R5, R6 Mark II, and R7, could see modest price drops. If you’re looking to upgrade from an older DSLR or step into mirrorless for the first time, Black Friday might be your best opportunity to save.

Budget-friendly DSLR models, like the Rebel T8i or SL3, tend to get bundled with lenses and accessories. These bundles often include memory cards, camera bags, and even tripods, offering added value beyond the sticker price.

Lens Discounts

Canon typically includes a variety of lenses in their Black Friday promotions. In 2024, several EF and RF lenses were featured at 10% to 25% off. Entry-level primes and mid-range zooms, such as the RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM and the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM, are likely candidates for markdowns.

If you’re expanding your lens kit, this is a good time to look for the more affordable models, as high-end L-series lenses rarely see major price cuts.

Printers and Office Gear

Canon’s PIXMA line, particularly the MegaTank series, is frequently discounted around Black Friday. These printers are a solid choice for home offices or students and typically include some promotional bundle, like extra ink.

The imageCLASS laser printers are also sometimes discounted, though the savings here are usually smaller, in the 10-15% range.

Camcorders and Binoculars

Though less mainstream, Canon often includes camcorders like the VIXIA HF series in its Black Friday offerings. Discounts here usually range between $100 and $250, depending on the model.

Binoculars, including Canon’s image-stabilized models, can also be found with moderate discounts, often 10-20% off.

Flash Deals and Limited-Time Offers

Canon occasionally introduces flash sales during the Black Friday event. These are often one-day-only deals or limited to a set number of units. If you’re watching for these, it’s worth checking the site daily during the sale week. Email subscribers often get early access or notification of these deals.

Retailer Partnerships

In addition to Canon’s website, major authorized Canon dealers typically offer matching or similar deals:

B&H Photo Video
Adorama
Best Buy
Amazon (be cautious of third-party sellers)

These retailers may also offer financing, extended warranties, or exclusive bundles that differ slightly from Canon.com.

Shipping and Availability

Canon typically includes free standard shipping during their Black Friday promotions. As with most holiday sales, deals are valid while supplies last. Popular items—especially mid-range cameras and lenses—can sell out fast.

Terms and Exclusions

While Canon’s sale covers a lot, not everything is included. Exclusions generally apply to brand-new releases, high-end L-series glass, and limited-edition models. Deals also exclude taxes, shipping on expedited services, and gift cards. Items marked as “final sale” are often not eligible for return or exchange.

What to Expect at Canada Goose’s Black Friday 2025 Sale

Black Friday 2025 – What to Expect

For all of you guys and girls hoping to get a good deal on a warm new Canada Goose winter jacket which, by the way, are hands down the best made and warmest jackets on the market, then we’re sad to report that their official store never has any sales or discounts (except for free shipping + returns when shopping their site). They just never do. Period.

But that doesn’t mean a deal can’t be had — It’s just a bit harder to find them, and even more so if you are looking at the beginning of the winter season. Here’a list of some of the top Canada Goose resellers, with the first two stores almost always having a few models on sale during Black Friday/Thanksgiving weekend:

We recommend that if you find something you like that’s already on sale right now, and it’s in your size, then jump on it as sale items on Canada Goose are often limited to just a few in-stock styles and sizes.

Watch out for Counterfeits

Remember when shopping this weekend, there are a number of so-called Canada Goose “retailers” but you have to be super careful because there is a lot of counterfeit products out there, especially on eBay and Amazon. Remember, if the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If you’re not convinced, just read Tony Wilson’s article on how he was caught up in a scam through a Facebook ad.

CampSaver Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

April 7, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Known for offering solid discounts on premium outdoor gear, clothing, and accessories, CampSaver tends to take a slightly different approach to Black Friday compared to other retailers. Rather than spreading deals across several days or weeks, CampSaver focuses on one key day: Black Friday itself. If you’re planning to shop there this year, here’s a detailed breakdown of what to expect—including when to shop, what to buy, and how to make the most of your savings.

Likely Start & End Dates for the 2025 Sale

While some early deals usually start to trickle in during Thanksgiving week, CampSaver’s main Black Friday event is expected to run for one day only—on Friday, November 28, 2025. The sale typically ends at 11:59 PM Mountain Time that day.

Some smaller pre-Black Friday promotions may show up early in the week leading up to the event, but the deepest discounts tend to be reserved for Friday itself.

Discount Levels and Promo Codes to Expect

If the structure follows what we saw last year, there will likely be two main promo codes offered during the Black Friday event. Each will apply to a different category of products:

Promo Code “BFDEALA” (last year): Gave shoppers 25% off one full-price item. This was especially useful if you had your eye on a higher-end product that rarely goes on sale.
Promo Code “BFDEALB” (last year): Offered 20% off all Outlet products. Outlet items are typically already marked down, so the extra discount helped bring prices even lower.

Both codes came with a number of restrictions, and it’s safe to assume the same limitations will apply this year. Here’s what you should know based on last year’s fine print:

The promo codes do not apply to shipping, taxes, or gift card purchases.
Only one promo code could be used per order.
Codes couldn’t be combined with other discounts or promotions.
Certain brands and products were excluded, especially those labeled as Blazin’ Deals, Clearance, On Sale, or Final Sale.
Items purchased as Final Sale were not eligible for returns or exchanges.

While these terms might seem restrictive, they’re in line with what other outdoor retailers do during peak sale events. Brands like Patagonia, Arc’teryx, and The North Face often have their own restrictions around discounting, so if you’re targeting those, it’s good to double-check product eligibility before getting too excited about the coupons.

Flash Deals and Limited-Time Offers

One of the more dynamic aspects of CampSaver’s Black Friday promotion is the daily Flash Deals. These typically highlight specific products or categories with especially steep discounts, often while supplies last. If the pattern continues, these flash offers will be updated periodically during Thanksgiving week, with new deals featured on Black Friday itself.

These aren’t usually advertised far in advance, which means you’ll need to keep checking the site—or sign up for CampSaver’s email alerts—if you want a shot at the best items. Once a flash deal sells out, that’s it. And since these deals can’t be combined with other promos, you’ll need to decide whether to use a flash price or one of the sitewide codes.

Shipping, Returns, and Restrictions

CampSaver usually offers free shipping on orders over $49, though that minimum might vary slightly depending on your location or any promotional updates they issue during Black Friday.

As far as returns go, it’s important to remember that Final Sale items can’t be returned or exchanged. Most full-price and outlet items can be returned if needed, but always double-check the return policy during promotions. Sometimes, holiday purchases get extended return windows, but that’s not always a guarantee.
