Looking to replace your long-in-the-tooth digital camera with a new one? Getting a little holiday shopping done early, perhaps? The deal hunter's favorite day of the year -- Black Friday -- may have come and gone, but awesome camera deals aplenty are still to be had. Many of them are short-lived, though, so if you want to get a really great price, you'll have to act quickly.
To help out, we're compiling some of the best Black Friday camera deals we've seen, all in one place. (And fear not, we're only listing deals for cameras we've reviewed and liked -- so you can be sure if it's on our list, it's a camera that's worth buying.)
Without any further ado, roll on the deals; we've sorted them by starting with the most recent ones at the top, but we've also provided information (including links to our in-depth reviews and previews) to help you spot the biggest savings:
