Black Friday has gone from being a single-day event to a series of sales spanning over a week. And while there are hundreds of discounted items out there, not all of them are worth your while. We’ve dug through them to find products that are actually a deal – the items that we know are good, and that are cheaper than their usual prices.
If the deal is only available for a very narrow window of time, we’ll be sure to note that.

Accessory Deals
DPReview merch
Okay, we’ll level with you – our newly-released 25th anniversary merch isn’t on sale. But if you’re looking for a gift for photography nerds in your life, definitely head over to our pop-up shop and see if any of our shirts, mugs, or hats would fit the bill. They’re only available for a limited time, so grab them while they’re here.

MacBook Pros
Apple doesn’t generally run sales on its laptops, which are well-liked by photographers and other creatives. However, that doesn’t stop retailers like Best Buy, B&H, Costco, or Amazon from knocking $200-300 off the price for Black Friday, even for the latest M4-equipped models. The ones with older chips are no slouches either, just make sure you’re not getting one of the entry-level ones with a vastly insufficient 8GB of memory.
Peak Design

Peak Design makes camera straps, tripods, and camera-focused packs, some of which are popular around the DPReview office. Most of them are currently 20% off, which can be a fair chunk off the price if you’re looking at a higher-end item like its carbon fiber travel tripod or camera-ready Everyday Backpack.
NiSi Filters
If you’re looking for lens filters, NiSi is having a 20% off sale on most of its offerings. That can add up to some rather substantial savings if you’re looking to stock up on different sizes or strengths of ND or black mist filters, or if you’re shopping for a pricier piece of glass like a variable ND filter.
Software Deals
Dxo
Dxo has put its photo-focused apps on sale. Its full Raw editing suite, PhotoLab 8, is available for $180 ($50 off its normal price) for first-time buyers, or $90 as an upgrade. Its plugin pack, film emulation pack, geometry correction software, and Raw processing software, are also on sale.
Davinci Resolve

Davinci Resolve Studio, the upgrade to the free Davinci Resolve video editing software, is also on sale for Black Friday; you can pick it up for $235, $60 off its usual price.
Topaz Labs
Topaz Labs is well known for its AI-powered noise reduction and upscaling software. You can get it for 50% off from the company’s website. It’s also running a deal where you can bundle all its programs – Photo AI 3, Video AI 5, and Gigapixel 8 – together for $399.
