The end of financial year is a great time to get competitive prices on your business equipment. Many retailers offer very attractive deals at this time, to attract buyers who are making a purchase before the end of the financial year.

Here, in Australia, the financial year ends on 30 June – so there are 2 more weeks to take advantage of those attractive prices.

I buy all of my photography equipment through an Australian based online camera store.

Examples of their current specials are:

• Nikon D610 DSLR for A$1933 (recommended retail price A$2499)
• Canon EF 16-35mm lens for A$1744 (RRP A$2165)
• Manfrotto 028B Studio Pro Triman Tripod Legs for A$387 (RRP A$499)

What is the best end of financial year deal you have ever had?
