Why we love this deal

If we’re being pedantic, most people are already carrying a camera in their pockets. However, if you’re looking to take professional-grade photos or videos, consider investing in a standalone camera that can handle both.

The $159 Saneen 4K Digital Camera is on sale for only $64, and it’s well worth investing in and having on hand anytime you want to capture a moment. Shoppers love it, saying this affordable camera excels at taking “sharp, clear, and vibrant” photos and videos.

Why do shoppers love it?

There are plenty of reasons to buy a standalone camera in the iPhone age, and it’s not just to free up space on your smartphone. Digital cameras are excellent at taking photos and videos in all manner of environments, and this one packs a powerful lens that can zoom in up to 18 times. That means it can capture entire city skylines, breathtaking sunsets, or fancy gourmet meals with ease, for scrapbooks, professional projects, or even posting to Instagram.

Speaking of social media, this is an excellent camera for creators and captures excellent video and audio for any aspiring vloggers and streamers. Unlike your crummy front-facing camera on your phone, this camera captures every detail in glorious 4K, so your content truly pops. The view screen flips a full 180 degrees so you can ensure that your camera shoots you perfectly, whether you’re shooting video to edit later or hopping on a livestream.

The camera comes with a 32-gigabyte (GB) SD card, which is enough to handle an entire vacation’s worth of photos and videos. But even if space runs low, or if you’re just eager to share your pics with the world, the camera’s Wi-Fi features allow you to share images and videos to your phone quickly and easily.

And even though it’s made for beginners with little shooting experience, there are plenty of auto and manual modes to pick from that are made to handle everything from live sports to nature scenes. Aside from the SD card and charging cable, the camera comes with two batteries, so you’ll always have one on standby during extra-long shoots.
