Nikon Users: What To Buy, What To Wait On

->> I'm looking at adding some lenses and equipment, but I wondered if this was a time to buy or a time to wait. Does anyone know what equipment Nikon will be releasing over the remainder of the year, and what existing equipment could be marked down as a result?

->> Thanks guys. BTW, sort of related question, but how difficult is it to sign up/qualify for NPS? I have three Nikon bodies and a large percentage of my work is photography. Is that enough?

->> Existing equipment isn't really marked down anymore, rather the new equipment just goes up in price.

70-200 2.8 VR was about $1500, new VR II came out and its about $1900

85mm f1.4 was around $1200, new G model is coming out and its nearly $2k

so on and so forth

No matter when you buy your equipment shortly thereafter your manufacturer will introduce the piece of equipment you wish you had waited before making your last purchase.

->> I believe Photokina is next month. With several announcements from Nikon, Canon, Sony, Panasonic and others the past few weeks lead up to the Photokina show.

There probably will be other annoucements a week or so prior to the opening.

After Photokina, there probably won't be anything major the rest of this year.

Just my uninformed thoughts.
