B&H has a $400 off deal for the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM. It is usually priced at $2,374. The price is valid through Dec. 2.
Nikon has unveiled the SB-910 Speedlight, which now serves as the top-tier Speedlight in its lineup.
The SB-910 adds a new graphic interface and control set. It also features a new thermal cut-out system that will increase recycle times as the flash heats up instead of shutting down completely while it cools off.
The SB-910 covers a 17-200mm angle of view range and will automatically detect whether it is attached to an FX or DX camera, and then adjust the zoom head accordingly.
Additionally, the SB-910 features new hard-type color compensation filters for fluorescent and incandescent color temperature balancing. When applied, the SB-910 can change the white balance setting of the camera automatically. The coverage patterns can be adjusted for standard, center-weighted and even for control over the light spread.
The SB-910 retails for $549.95 and will be available December 2011. Check availability on Amazon and B&H.

This social experiment made me smile.
The concept of this social experiment was simple. Leave a disposable camera in public and see how people reacted and/or used it. These are our results. Everyone has a different perspective.

Amazon has a bevy of DSLR and photo deals today coming through its Lightning Deals page. It starts at 3:15AM ET and keeps rolling throughout the day. I count at least 3 Canon DSLR deals that should go within minutes of the announcement time if earlier deals were anything to measure by.
The complete rundown is below. You’ll need to watch the countdown here in order to get in on the deals.
Keep track of all the latest deals on our Cyber Monday Deals Page.
B&H has the Sony HX9V point and shoot camera for $299 right now. The HX9V is probably the best do-it-all point and shoot camera. It captures great 16.2MP still images and captures HD video up to 1080/60p. Unfortunately, I have not gotten around to completing my review of the HX9V; however, I give it high marks all around and think that it is worth every penny of the asking price.
Note that you’ll have to add the camera to your cart to see the deal price, which is good through Dec. 10.
