The Amazon Prime Day camera deals are now well into day two, which means they are still some great discounts on cameras, drones, lenses and memory cards. But the clock is ticking, so if you're in the market for a photographic bargain, make sure you have a good leaf through the list below sharpish.

We've already seen some Prime Day deals expire, but the majority are still going strong. So far, we've seen some great discounts on the GoPro Hero 8 Black, DJI Mini 2 Fly More Combo and Fujifilm Instax SQ6 camera (in the US), and DJI Action 2 and Panasonic Lumix S5 in the UK.

The stars of the show, though, have arguably some of the lens deals we've seen, particularly for Sony fans. In both the UK and UK, there are still some great discounts on Sony and Sigma lenses for cameras like the Sony A7 III and A6400. 

Talking of the Sony A7 III, that's just dropped again to its lowest-ever price in the UK, making it one of the camera buys of this year's shopping bonanza, alongside a new low price for the Panasonic Lumix GH5 Mark II – one of our favorite vlogging and YouTube cameras.

If you're (understandably) not in a position to splash out on a new camera right now, there is one thing you should pick up in the Prime Day sales. As is tradition for the shopping event, we've seen some big price cuts on memory cards – you can find our pick of those deals below.  

Just remember that supplies run out and the deals change fast. Watch this page for fresh prices and updates – the clock may now be ticking on the Prime Day deals, but we'll be keeping our eyes and lenses peeled for any last-minute Lightning offers and adding them to this regularly updated guide.
