The 2015 Nikon Black Friday flyer leaked online. The deals listed are not really exciting – pretty much a combination of the recent lenses price drop and existing combo rebates. If something else shows up next week, I will be posting it in the new dedicated deals page at nikonrumors.com/deals (available in the top navigation menu).

Nikon D5 Wireless Transmitter WT-6 and Speedlight SB-5000 development announced
Nikon just officially announced the development of the following new products:

With the exception of the WT-6, all this should not be a surprise to regular [NR] readers. With this “development announcement” Nikon is telling us that they are still alive and relevant. I just hope they have planned more than that for 2016. This announcement also kills any hopes for a D400 camera, at least for the first few months of 2016 (otherwise they would have mentioned it today).

This Shooting an airshow with the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR lens post is by Jason Chu:

Greetings NR readers!  My name is Jason and I have been a Hawaii based photographer for the past 6 years.  A month ago I decided to see an airshow as I haven’t been to one in many years.  Since the local photo gear rental shop I frequent just got their delivery of the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E lens I was very keen on testing out this lens on fast but predictable moving targets.  I was also interested in testing out the lens since I was seriously considering it as a future lens purchase.
