Here is what I expect Nikon to announce next week during the CP+ show in Japan:
Other rumors/expectations:
Strange listing on Amazon.com: the latest Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR lens is now $200 cheaper ($200 below MSRP) only if you get it with a free B+W UV filter (shipped and sold by Amazon directly):
The Nikon D810 camera (grey market) is currently listed for $1,999 on eBay. This is the lowest price we’ve seen so far. The MSRP of the D810 is $2,796.95 after a $500 rebate.
Grey market Nikon D750 is now available for $1,299.
FYI: tomorrow Pentax is expected to announce their new 36MP full frame DSLR camera that will be priced at $1,799.
A quick update on my last post – the new Sony XQD M-series memory cards are actually already shipping (thanks Ish). Here is the current pricing and availability:
The new XQD M series memory cards are designed to support the Nikon D5 and D500 cameras.
I received a tip that the first Nikon D5 shipment will come with a Sony 32GB G-Series XQD memory card ($109.95) and a Sony XQD reader ($37.95) included for free, just like the D4 did four years ago. My understanding is that this will be valid for all worldwide shipments and is not specific to a region.
The new line of Sony XQD memory cards will be available at the end of May are now available.
UK dealers have confirmed that the D5 will start shipping around March 18th.
Nikon D5 pre-order links: B&H | Adorama | Amazon | BestBuy | WEX Photographic | Jessops.
There are some new Nikon refurbished listings in the US:
More refurbished Nikon gear is available at: Amazon, B&H, Adorama, eBay, Cameta Camera and BuyDig.
More Nikon deals and rebates are available here.
I already mentioned that the upcoming Nikon compact cameras with fixed lens and 1″ sensor will have an optional EVF that will attach to the hot shoe. I received some more details on the EVF: it will be a 2,350k dots OLED EVF. For comparison, two of the best EVF I’ve seen so far are 4.4MP (Leica SL) and 3.68MP (Leica Q).
