Best Black Friday Camera Deals

Although you won’t find as many Black Friday camera deals as television deals in the days ahead, there are some enticing discounts to be had. The best feature kits that include an SLR camera body and not one but two lenses.

And that's great if you're shopping for someone who loves shooting sports, nature, or portraits. For the price of a standard kit, you can choose a lens that covers wide-angle to normal focal lengths and a telephoto lens tailored to a specific pursuit.

So far, according to BFAds.net, Best Buy has the most Black Friday camera deals, including four two-lens SLR kits and one mirrorless camera kit that also offers two lenses. The retailer has a couple of notable deals on superzoom point-and-shoots, too.
