The new 6 pages Black Friday circular is out. Nothing out of the ordinary. I could find a better deals on Amazon for each of the advertised cameras. The only interesting part is the $200 instant saving on the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 lens if you purchase it together with a D5000, D90, D300s or D700 camera.

Nikonrebates.com seems to be up and running as well.
