B&H has the Canon Rebel T5i for $649 (reg. $699) through Nov. 23. The deal includes 4% rewards and free shipping in the US. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
Images of the Nikon D3300 showed up on Nikon Rumors thanks to an anonymous tipster. The images, if legit, show that the D3300 is essentially the same design as the D3200 (no surprise there).
The Nikon D3200 was announce back in April 2013, so it’s not quite time for the D3300 to officially drop; however, I wouldn’t be surprised if the D3300 showed up at CES 2014.
