New price drop for the Nikon D810 and D750 cameras UPDATED

By [NR] admin | Published: October 4, 2015

There is a new price drop on the Nikon D810 and D750 cameras in the US for the month of October:

Nikon D810: $2,796.95 ($500 off) at B&H | Adorama | Amazon
Nikon D750: $1,896.95 ($400 off) at B&H | Adorama | Amazon

Nikon D810 lens kit is now $1100 off at B&H | Adorama | Amazon
Nikon D750 lens kit is now $1000 off at B&H | Adorama | Amazon

I believe there are few other new price drops, but I do not have the details since B&H and Adorama are currently closed (see all current Nikon DSLR rebates at B&H and Adorama).

Update: the new Nikon combo rebates for October are now live (expire 10/31/2015).

Nikon AF vs. Fuji XF lenses size comparison

By [NR] admin | Published: October 3, 2015

I don’t have a guest post for this weekend, but a reader sent me an interesting picture comparing the size of the older full frame Nikon AF (D) lenses with the new “modern” APS-C Fuji XF mirrorless lenses (click for larger view):

Obviously the new Nikon AF-S lenses are bigger but the old AF (D) models are still available and they are dirt cheap compared to the Fuji XF lenses.

Another reader sent me some interesting stats on Nikkor lenses:
