July 4th deals on camera gear and more

There are some great deals to be had in July 4 sales over the long weekend from the likes of B&H and Adorama.

What is a public holiday nowadays if there isn't a sale attached to it? While Amazon's artificial Prime Day has gone global, as has Black Friday, July 4th sales tend to be confined to the country that celebrates it. But given that means companies such as B&H and Adorama are offering some hefty discounts, the lack of an extra global dimension is not too much of a hardship.

Here are some of our favourite deals, seven from each of them.
