By [NR] admin | Published: October 30, 2020

The Nikon Z6 II camera will start shipping next week, on November 5th. Here are the pre-order links:

The current Nikon Z6 II + FTZ adapter combo offer is set to expire tomorrow and I am not sure if it will be renewed next week (you can add the FTZ adapter to the Z6 II and Z7 II for an extra $50).

New $500 price drop: the Nikon D850 is now $2,500

By [NR] admin | Published: October 29, 2020



The price of the Nikon D850 DSLR camera in the US just dropped by $500 – this is the lowest D850 price ever since the camera was announced in July 2017:


This discount will end on November 1st at 11:59 pm EST.

This price drop makes perfect sense since I already reported that the D850 replacement is rumored for early 2021.

Note: The current Nikon rebates on Nikkor Z-mount and F-mount lenses are set to expire this weekend.

Your last chance to get a (refurbished) Nikon F6 SLR camera

By [NR] admin | Published: October 28, 2020


As I already reported, the Nikon F6 camera is already discontinued and out of stock everywhere (Adorama | B&H Photo | Amazon). B&H just received a new batch of refurbished Nikon F6 cameras for $1,899 and this is probably your last chance to get the F6 with an original Nikon warranty (90 days):


In fact, I bought exactly the same camera for the same price last year – see this post for more details:
