...... But are there usually any good sales for holidays. Black friday being the most obvious?

Its usually best to wait until the gear is not brand new (on holidays/sales it can still be super expensive compared to what it would be a few months later) and get it a little while after its released. But with lenses and stuff that generally stays the same price its just when you find it on sale or when you really need it.

when you have outgrown your current gear and have the means to get new gear that is beneficial to you, and not just more megapixels or whatever. Also, generally wait at least 6 months after it has hit the market so that you know if there are any issues with it or things like that
