Mirrorless Camera Deals Worth Looking At Right Now (October 2026)
Four mirrorless cameras with real, retailer-verified price drops this month, what the discount actually includes, and whether it's worth buying now or waiting.
Camera-press sites have been tracking real price drops on four mirrorless cameras this month, and the discounts are worth a look whether you buy today or just use them as a baseline for what “a good deal” looks like on these models. Deal prices move fast and sometimes revert without notice, so every number below is dated to the retailer and day it was checked (October 19, 2026, re-checked at the moment of publishing), and you should click through and confirm the current price before buying. We re-checked each one directly against the retailer’s own live page rather than copying last week’s headline, and two of the four numbers below moved since the initial draft — see the notes on each.
Canon EOS R5 Mark II: Around $4,099 at Adorama (was $4,399, save $300/7%) — but this one’s been bouncing around, confirm before you buy
Adorama’s own product page is not giving us a perfectly stable read on this one. Checked repeatedly today (October 19, 2026): three separate checks, including Adorama’s own “Deals & Specials” listing page as a cross-check, landed on $4,099, down from $4,399 (7% off), with two bundled extras (a Lexar Gold Series CFexpress Type B card and a Capture One Pro subscription, together valued at $488.99) included at no added cost — and that’s the number we’re publishing. But one earlier check this week, and one isolated re-check during this article’s own review process, returned a different figure ($3,899, the number an earlier draft of this piece used). We can’t fully rule out that Adorama is serving slightly different cached or promo-session pricing on different requests. Treat $4,099/7% as the best current read, not a guarantee — click through and check the number on the page yourself before buying, especially if you see something other than $4,099.
The R5 Mark II is Canon’s 45-megapixel full-frame flagship, built for photographers who want both resolution and speed in one body: 8K video, fast autofocus, and the kind of low-light performance that matters for wildlife and event work. At this price it’s still a step down from Canon’s $5,399 Canada list pricing for the same body, which gives a sense of where this deal sits relative to list, even with the correction.
Canon EOS R6 Mark II Bundles: $2,299 (STM lens) or $3,249 (L-series lens) at Adorama
This is a different configuration than the one that circulated during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days (October 6-7), where early coverage quoted a $2,999 US bundle price with no lens included. That specific deal has since ended. What’s live now at Adorama is the R6 Mark II paired with Canon’s RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 STM lens, a battery, a 128GB card, and a charger kit, for $2,299, 12% off the $2,599 list. Adorama also sells the same body with the sharper (and pricier) RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens bundle for $3,249, an 8% discount off $3,549, for anyone who wants L-series glass instead of the STM kit lens. Both numbers reconfirmed live at the moment of publishing, unchanged from the original draft.
The R6 Mark II is the more travel-friendly, lighter sibling to the R5 Mark II, aimed at hybrid shooters who want solid stills and strong 4K/60 video without the R5’s resolution or price. If you’re deciding between the two R6 II bundles, the STM version is the better value unless you specifically need the L-series lens’s faster aperture and weather sealing.
Sony A7 III: $1,498 Body-Only at Amazon and B&H Photo — not $1,398
Amazon and B&H Photo both show $1,498 for the A7 III body right now, confirmed on repeated direct checks of both retailers’ own pages, down from each one’s own list price (roughly $1,698-$1,699, about a 12% discount). Several camera-news outlets (ymcinema, Daily Camera News, SonyPriceWatch) reported a deeper $1,398 price at B&H earlier in October — that deal has since expired; $1,498 is the real, current number at both of these retailers today.
We’re deliberately not naming a specific Adorama price for this camera here: repeated checks of Adorama’s own page for the A7 III returned different numbers on different requests (readings as far apart as $1,698 and $1,998 showed up in the same review pass), which isn’t a stable enough signal to publish as a verified figure. Adorama does carry this camera — check their page directly if you want to compare it against the $1,498 Amazon/B&H number above.
The A7 III first launched in 2018 and Sony has released two newer full-frame bodies since, but it’s still a genuinely capable 24-megapixel full-frame camera with dual card slots and solid autofocus, which is exactly why it keeps showing up on “best value” lists years later. For readers weighing it against something newer, our complete Sony A7 IV review covers what the extra money on the newer body actually buys you.
Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV: Around $600-800 Depending on Kit
This one’s the least settled of the four. OM System’s own E-M10 Mark IV lists at $699 body-only and $799 with the 14-42mm kit lens, per its official spec page cross-referenced via DPReview. Retailer listings bounce around that MSRP rather than sitting at a fixed discount: Amazon has the body listed at $699.99 as of this writing (it has shown as low as $599.99 and as high as $799.99 on other days), and a UK-specific deal flagged by Digital Camera World put the silver body-and-kit-lens combo at £539.10 against an £899 RRP, a roughly 40% cut that doesn’t have a confirmed US equivalent at the same discount depth. If you’re in the US, treat $699-799 as the realistic range and watch for Amazon’s day-to-day fluctuation rather than expecting the UK’s deeper cut to show up here.
The E-M10 Mark IV is a Micro Four Thirds body aimed at travel and everyday shooting rather than sports or wildlife: strong in-body stabilization and a genuinely small, light kit, with autofocus and burst speed that lag behind the APS-C and full-frame cameras above. It’s the pick here for someone who wants the smallest possible kit, not the most capable one. Our OM System OM-1 Mark II review covers OM System’s higher-end Micro Four Thirds option for readers who want more speed in the same sensor format.
Bundle vs. Body-Only: What’s Actually Worth It
A few patterns show up across the deals above. Bundles that include a memory card and battery at close to no added cost over body-only pricing (the R5 Mark II’s card-and-software bundle, the R6 Mark II’s STM lens package) are close to free money if you were going to buy those accessories anyway. And when a retailer’s “deal” price barely moves off MSRP, as with the Olympus body some days, it’s worth waiting for an actual markdown rather than treating MSRP-adjacent pricing as a sale.
