A good strategy is to track price history for the specific camera you want. Using price-tracking tools or reviewing past sales patterns can help ensure the deals are genuine. Additionally, some of the best offers may appear as flash or limited-time deals on Black Friday, providing significant savings if you're quick to buy.

Say, cheese! And by cheese, we mean money, which you'll be saving on these top-rated cameras from GoPro, Panasonic, Sony, and more before the holiday sale season officially starts.
