Amazon (via 3rd parties). Post updated 1:51pm ET.
I will be monitoring the situation throughout the day for more updates…
Budget telephoto time for Nikon shooters, the new condition with Nikon USA warranty Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED VR II AF-S DX is on sale for $147 with free shipping and $6~ promotional rewards at Adorama.

A new round of Nikon DSLR Instant Savings (aka discounts, no coupon, no mail-in rebate) has gone live today 9/4/16, good until 10/1/16, featuring various Nikon D7100 and D5500 kits.

Limit three per customer. Over 520 units have been sold from this listing so far.
In addition to the two new lenses, Canon has launched a brand new Canon 5D DSLR, the fourth generation model, aka 5D Mark IV, available in three kits:
+ body only for $3500
+ with 24-105 f4L IS II for $4600
+ with 24-70 f4L IS for $4400
Pre-orders are accepted for these kits at Amazon by Amazon itself and B&H Photo and Adorama.

A brand new battery grip is also announced, the Canon Battery Grip BG-E20 has a pre-order price of $490 at Amazon by Amazon itself and Adorama and B&H Photo.
But wait, there’s more. There’s some more action the Canon 7D Mark II front, two new kits are being released that bundle it with the Canon Wi-Fi Adapter Kit, going for $1850 for the 7D II body only and $2450 for the “with 18-135mm IS STM lens” kit. They are available for pre-order at Adorama and B&H Photo.
Speaking of the Canon W-E1 Wifi Adapter, it is available for pre-order on its own for $50 at Adorama.
The new DSLR and lenses have been added to the Interesting New Cameras and Lenses of 2016 Tracking page. This is a Photokina year [see Trade Show Calendar], so we’ll have more new gear before the holidays.
The 5D Mark IV will be one of the cameras included when I reboot the Stock Status Tracking page with unreleased cameras in the next few days. Let me know what other cameras you’d like to see tracked in the comments or using the online contact form.
Alongside the Canon 5D Mark IV DSLR, Canon has unleashed two new four-figure Canon EF (D)SLR lenses and they are available for pre-ordering as follows:
+ 16-35mm f2.8L III for $2200 at Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon by Amazon itself
+ 24-105mm f4L IS II for $1100 at Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon by Amazon itself
From FREE we rev up to $4999 in just two blog posts, B&H Photo is offering the Canon EOS-1D C Body Only for $4999 with free expedited shipping. Offer ends 8/31/16. This is NOT returnable. Any issues must be addressed through the manufacturer warranty.
To the land of eBay Trendiness we return where the official Best Buy store is offering the new condition Canon SL1 with 18-55 and 75-300 lenses for $500 with free shipping with a limit of three sets per customer. It is the white Canon SL1 with 18-55 STM lens, along with the 75-300mm III non-IS lens and a camera bag. This is a limited time offer of the daily deal variety.
In addition to the new Nikons available for pre-order there is a new promotion on their Macro Portrait 2-Lens kit, it is bundled with various 52mm filters and a cleaning kit for the same price of $497 at Adorama. If you don’t need the extra accessories, you can also get it for the same price with $20 promotional rewards instead of the free filters (promotional rewards to be used in future purchases at Adorama).
Both kits are in-stock and ready to ship with free shipping. The lenses are the same as before, the 35mm f1.8G AF-S DX non-VR and 85mm f3.5G AF-S ED VR DX Micro (= Macro in Nikon-speak).
While the new Nikon D3400 kit options were straightforward, things are a bit more complicated in the new AF-P Nikon lenses. Two different lenses are available in two different options each, with and without VR. An interesting decision here, perhaps with an eye towards bundling them in different ways and discounting them? Regardless..
… the four new AF-P lenses are now available for pre-order as follows:
+ 70-300mm f4.5-6.3G ED AF-P DX VR for $400 at Amazon and Adorama and B&H Photo
+ 70-300mm f4.5-6.3G ED AF-P DX non-VR for $350 at Amazon and Adorama and B&H Photo
+ 18-55 f3.5-5.6G DX VR for $250 at Adorama and B&H Photo
+ 18-55 f3.5-5.6G DX non-VR for $200 at Adorama and B&H Photo
These have been added to the new Interesting New Lenses of 2016 tracking page. We no longer track most non-RAW P&S fixed lens digital cameras over there.
