Cameratools already listed the Nikon SB-910 flash on their website. The official announcement will be in few hours. Stay tuned!
Based on the latest information from today, we will probably have only one product announcement this Wednesday (November 30th) – the new Nikon SB-910 speedlight unit. This is how the new flash unit was described to me: “The SB-910 differs from SB-900 in refined ergonomics (also 1% lighter, 1% smaller), redesigned menus, improved overheating control [...]
Nikon will have a new product announcement next week, on Wednesday, November 30, 2011. The announcement will be for one or more of the products listed here - the SB-910 flash and one lens is probably the most likely scenario.

Nikon SB-910 speedlight, the replacement of the SB-900 (see this and this related posts) DX lens – probably a consumer lens. One tipster actually mentioned a new wide angle DX lens, which would be great for [...]
More on the Nikon SB-900 speedlight being discontinued story: in BestBuy’s internal inventory system the Nikon SB-900 flash is already listed as “deleted” which usually means this product will no longer be available for sale: The Nikon SB-900 is still available for sale on BestBuy website.
I received separate emails from retailers in two different European countries that the Nikon SB 900 speedlight has reached end of life and can no longer be ordered. This is a rather unusual development since the SB-900 was announced in 2008. The previous SB-800 model was announced in 2003. Maybe this is just a glitch in Nikon’s [...]
