Sony ZV-E1 deal status right now
B&H’s black ZV-E1 body page lists $2,498, in stock. The page shows no crossed-out price. White is a color option on that page. Confirm the white price before you treat it as the same dollar. NowInStock’s B&H log shows the black body at $2,198 on April 27, 2026, and at $2,198 on October 6, 2025. The same log shows $2,098 on July 7, 2025, and $1,898 on April 22, 2025. It does not show a November 2025 row, so we are not calling $2,198 last Black Friday. The latest in-stock row in that log before the current page is May 13, 2026, at $2,498. Sony hasn’t announced 2026 holiday savings. Last year they started on Monday, November 3.
$2,498 is $300 above the price NowInStock recorded at B&H on April 27 and on October 6, 2025. Wait for that dollar unless you need the camera this week.
What counts as a good ZV-E1 price
- $2,098 or lessNowInStock’s July 7, 2025 B&H price. Deeper than the recent sale price. The April 2025 row was $1,898. Those are history, not today’s price.
- $2,198The price on April 27, 2026 and October 6, 2025. This is the number to hold out for.
- $2,498The November 1 body page, and the May 13, 2026 row. $300 above the recent sale price.
B&H black body page, checked November 1, 2026. The history is NowInStock’s B&H log for the black ZV-E1. That log has no November 2025 line between October 6, 2025 and April 2026, so last Black Friday is not verified here. We did not open Adorama. Sony’s November 3, 2025 start is the date on our Sony guide.

Look elsewhere
- The only price is $2,498. That is $300 above the April price.
