Camera Father's Day deals

Save 20% on one of our favorite mirrorless cameras. We called the EOS R5 the best choice for wildlife photography in our best cameras guide thanks to its built-in image stabilization, full weather sealing and blistering burst shooting speeds. It's a fabulous all-rounder, too, thanks to the huge amount of lenses available for this camera.

Save $600 on what we call the best DSLR camera ever made. The camera industry might have mostly moved on to mirrorless by now, but there's a very good reason why Nikon has kept this powerhouse around. It's absolutely excellent at just about everything, whether you shoot wildlife, astro, landscapes or event photography. With a huge amount of lenses available, too, it's a camera you're never going to grow out of.

Save $413 on one of Nikon's newest flagship mirrorless cameras. The Z6 III is a serious powerhouse of a camera, and this is the cheapest we've seen it to date. Better yet, this deal from B&H bundles in a free carry bag and a 128GB SDHC card. The bag alone is worth $130, making this a seriously good deal if your dad is looking to up his photography game.

Binoculars Father's Day deals

Save $100 on the image-stabilized binoculars we think are the best on the market. The Canon 10x42L IS binoculars offer unrivaled views, and thanks to the built-in image stabilization, you'll get crystal-clear, sharp images of wildlife, stars or whatever else you decide to point this powerful set of optics at. The only downside? They can get a little heavy, but the extra weight is worth the power these binos afford.

Save $50 on the best budget-friendly image stabilized binoculars on the market. If you can't quite afford the Canon 10x42L binoculars above, the 10x20 variant is a great option, coming in at around a third of the price. They're much smaller, too, making them ideal for carrying around on hikes and travels — although the payoff is, of course, they're not quite as powerful and won't give you quite as high magnification.

Save $100 on the Olympus 8x42 Pro binoculars, a set that we think offers some of the best value around — and with a 20% saving to be had, they're even better than ever. This compact pair of binos is powerful but light enough to carry around on long hikes, and the 15-year warranty that Olympus packs in with every purchase should give you peace of mind that they're well protected.
