Prime Day is an Amazon only affair, unlike Black Friday, but other retailers are likely to reduce prices over the Prime Day even - and some may have discounts on products not stocked or not discounted at Amazon. Key retailers to check out for camera deals and photo-related discounts are:

Amazon: Cheap prices on camera gearAdorama: Big discounts on cameras and techApple: Save on your old iPhone or iPadWalmart: DSLR, Mirrorless & action camerasB&H Photo Video: Deals on camera brandsBest Buy: Save on TVs, laptops, appliancesCanon USA: Buy direct to save moneyDell: Discounts on laptops and PCsGoPro: Early deals on Hero 11 BlackHP: Save on laptops, desktops, monitorsLenovo: Huge savings on laptopsMicrosoft Store: Get powerful PCs & laptopsMixbook: Cheap photo books & calendarsSamsung: Hard drives, SD cards, and more

Prime Day is Amazon's biggest sale of the year. The annual two-day deals event is for Prime members only and is usually held in July. It features some of the best-ever deals on the retailer's own products and services, such as Fire TVs, Kindles, Echo devices, Audible, and more.

Prime Day originally started in 2015 as a celebration of Amazon's 20th anniversary. Designed to encourage people to spend outside of the October-December holiday season, the online retailer says its only goal was to "offer a volume of deals greater than Black Friday".

Since then, it's ballooned into one of the biggest sales in the global retail calendar, with many other large retailers launching promotions of their own to take advantage of the huge online audience around Prime Day - and particularly so in the US.

There was also the opt-in charity donation service called Amazon Smile that funnelled some of your spending on Prime Day deals to charitable causes. Unfortunately, Amazon shut down this program in Febrayr so it won't be possible to set it up in 2023.
