What to Expect on Amazon Prime Day, July 12th and 13th

This year’s Amazon “Prime Day” will start on Tuesday, July 12th. The deals start at 3 AM ET and run 48 hours until 3 AM ET on Thursday. Amazon’s Prime Day deals are restricted to Amazon Prime members only. Just like the previous seven years, CanonPriceWatch will be watching all the deals.

We don’t expect deals on the most popular Canon cameras or lenses, but some of the less popular items may be discounted (for example, last year’s deal on a EOS M50 Mark II). You can browse our 2021 live-update post or our archive of Prime Day related deals for examples of the types of deals available. We should see great prices on memory cards, filters, bags, storage, 3rd party lenses, tripods, lighting, and other accessories. Deals sell out quickly, so be prepared to jump on them!

As many deals are restricted to Amazon Prime members only, be sure to sign-up for a free 30-day trial of Prime if you’re not already a member. Check back on Tuesday at 3 AM for the deals!
