Discounts on Canon EOS R cameras and RF lenses: current prices
The Canon EOS R mirrorless camera lineup is regularly among the market’s best sellers. Discounts are now available on several models, from an entry-level APS-C camera to high-resolution full-frame bodies. Prices have also been reduced on RF-mount lenses.
APS-C cameras for beginners and video creators
The EOS R100 is the most affordable entry point into the Canon EOS R system. It has fewer features than more expensive cameras, but remains a relatively budget-friendly option for beginner photographers.
The EOS R100 kit with the RF-S 18–45mm lens costs $549, which is $130 less than its regular price. The body alone is available for $429, also at a $130 discount. The kit with two zoom lenses, the RF-S 18–45mm and 55–210mm, costs $749, a saving of $180.
The EOS R50 generally offers more features than the R100, but costs more. After a $50 discount, the body costs $729. The kit with the 18–45mm lens is also $50 off and now costs $849.
Those who primarily shoot video should consider the EOS R50 V. This compact mirrorless camera is designed for video production and offers high-quality 4K recording, 10-bit color and tools for vertical shooting. It has no in-body image stabilization or electronic viewfinder, but reliable autofocus and straightforward controls make it a suitable step-up for those switching from a smartphone to a dedicated camera. The EOS R50 V now costs $619, a $100 discount.
The EOS R50 V has a consensus score of 84 out of 100 based on 30 sources, with an overall rating of Strong.
Full-frame EOS R cameras
The EOS RP remains Canon’s most affordable full-frame mirrorless camera. The body now costs $899 after a $250 discount. The kit with the versatile 24–105mm f/4–7.1 lens costs $1,199, also reduced by $250.
Following the launch of the EOS R8 II, the previous EOS R8 remains a relevant model and is available at a reduced price. The body costs $1,399, while the kit with the 24–50mm lens costs $1,599. Both are discounted by $250.
The EOS R6 II has been overshadowed by its successor, but remains a capable all-around camera in its own right. It now costs $1,999, a reduction of $300. This makes it considerably more affordable than the EOS R6 III.
The EOS R6 Mark II scored 89 out of 100 based on 25 sources, earning a Strong rating and Certified Keeper status. The camera combines photo and video capabilities, with improvements including faster autofocus, subject recognition and better heat management. Its limitations include a 24-megapixel sensor and no support for third-party lenses. Even so, the EOS R6 II remains a capable tool for sports photography and video recording.
For those who need high detail, there are two models to choose from: the original EOS R5 and the EOS R5 II. The former sells for $2,999 after a $300 discount. The EOS R5 II costs $4,099, also discounted by $300.
The EOS R5 Mark II scored 91 out of 100 based on 24 sources, earning an Exceptional rating and Certified Keeper status. It is a versatile, high-performance hybrid camera for professional photo and video work. Its strengths include advanced autofocus and image quality; it is designed for content creators who need an advanced feature set.
For those who need speed but find the flagship EOS R1’s $6,799 price too steep, the EOS R3 may be an alternative. Its price has now been reduced by $1,000 to $4,399.
Discounts on RF lenses
Price cuts apply to a range of Canon lenses, although in most cases the discounts are no more than a few hundred dollars. Even this level of saving can be significant for high-end optics.
Five professional zooms are each $200 off: the RF 70–200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z, RF 70–200mm f/2.8 L IS USM, RF 28–70mm f/2 L USM, RF 24–70mm f/2.8 L IS USM and RF 15–35mm f/2.8 L IS USM.

The RF 135mm f/1.8 L IS USM scored 92 out of 100 based on 13 sources, earning an Exceptional rating and Certified Keeper status. This fast lens delivers high sharpness and smooth bokeh, making it suitable for portraits and low-light shooting. Its size and high price are worth considering. The lens features optical image stabilization and fast autofocus.
VCM series lenses
The VCM lineup features lenses designed for both photography and video, all with a consistent form factor. The RF 24mm f/1.4 L VCM is available for $1,499 after a $150 price cut.
