<Nikon D5300 Cheapp>by William Brawley

It's that time of year again, Black Friday. (Well, almost.) As we lead up to the biggest shopping day of the year, we're going to keep a running tally of the week's best camera and photo gear deals -- adding new ones as we find them and removing those that expire. We've also put together a list of pre-announced in-store and online deals for this Thursday and Friday so you can plan your holiday shopping accordingly. Keep this page bookmarked and check back often -- if last year is any indication, the deals should be good, plentiful and change quickly. Please let us know if you see a deal we've missed, or if something's expired or sold out.

Get the wallet out, credit card at the ready: It's deals time!
