This camera took the best wildlife photo of 2025 – grab it for a record-low price

I concede that DSLRs aren’t exactly cutting edge cameras anymore – that’s a better descriptor for the best mirrorless cameras – however, don’t write them off. After all, it was only last month that I reported on how the Nikon D850 was the camera used to take the winning image at the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2025 contest, beating a host of younger and fresher cameras.

Clearly, the 45MP full-frame D850 is still a powerful tool today (and in my opinion it’s the greatest DSLR ever made). And there’s a tempting Black Friday deal currently available for the body only – the Nikon D850 for $1,996.95 at Adorama (was $2,596.95) / Nikon D850 for £1,699 at Park Cameras (was £2,399).

That same photo contest delivered another surprise – the most popular camera overall among the contest’s entrants was the Canon EOS R5 – a full-frame mirrorless camera released in 2020. That 45MP camera also sinks to a new low price too – since it has been upgraded with the EOS R5 Mark II – now available for just $2,599 at Adorama (was $3,299).
