We gave the camera a glowing 4.5 out of 5 stars in our Canon EOS R5 review, praising its astonishingly accurate animal autofocus, 8K 30p video capabilities and stunningly detailed 45MP images. It's a fantastic price, but although they're packaging it as a 'deal', it's actually been $2,999 since the end of April — at Amazon at least. It's still the lowest we've seen it since Black Friday 2023.

Featured in guides: Best cameras for wildlife photography
Buy it if: You want highly detailed 45MP images with near-perfect autofocus and an impressive burst rate for wildlife photography. It's also fantastic for video with 8K 30p shooting for casual video makers.
Don't buy it if: You're a beginner or have a smaller budget, as this camera is a beast and could be overkill in the wrong hands. Video-heavy users may experience its infamous overheating issues, and the Canon EOS R5 Mark II is confirmed to currently be in the hands of a select few testers, so if you think you might want to see what the Mark II offers before you commit, we'd suggest holding off.
