Although the photo industry is not the focus of this show, major camera manifacturers including Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Fuji, and Samsung have all announced new products (mostly compact digital cameras) and will be exhibiting their latest offerings at the show.

Of note are the Pentax MX-1 (above), Nikon D5200 (below), Canon PowerShot N (top), Samsung NX300, Fuji X100s, and Fuji X20, all of which will be at the show.  Read more about these cameras here.

In addition to featuring a 20.2 megapixel sensor with an ISO range of 50 to 102,400, the 6D is the first camera of its kind to feature built-in GPS and Wi-Fi.

• DA* 16-50mm, DA* 50-135mm, DA* 60-250mm ($749, $749, $1149)
• Pentax K-5 IIs: $1049 today only!
• Pentax K-01: a rock-bottom $316

There are also some great deals available from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, and Fuji DSLRs and cameras - something for just about anyone:

Most notably, there is a $500 instant rebate on the Nikon D7000 with 18-105mm VR lens.  Happy Black Friday shopping!

With the D5200 not hitting the shelves until next year, now is a great chance to secure this camera at a bargain price.  To learn more about the D5100, check out this review!  This rebate offer ends after Black Friday (November 24th).

The D5200 retains most of the D5100's look and feel while boasting upgraded internals, including a new 24.1-megapixel sensor, EXPEED3 image processor, and full-HD video at 50/60 FPS.  The D5200 also inherits the 39-point Multi-CAM4800DX autofocus system from the D7000.  These improvements are bound to make the D5200 very competitive within its class, as no other upper entry-level DSLR boasts the same resolution or such an advanced autofocus system.  Nikon's choice to re-use components from their higher-end DSLRs is certainly a smart one, we believe!

Read on for a quick comparison of the specifications of the two cameras!

The compact 24-70mm F4 lens is a lighter and more affordable alternative to the 28-70mm F2.8L II USM lens and is designed for full-frame and APS-C shooters alike. On full-frame cameras, it's a very handy walkaround zoom corresponding roughly to an 18-55mm kit lens on APS-C, but offering premium image quality.  Canon recommends this lens for those starting out with the recently-announced Canon 6D.  The lens has a minimum focusing distance of 20cm and has a 9-blade circular aperture to deliver smooth bokeh.  It's complete with image stabilization, silent autofocus, and allows full-time manual focus adjustments.  The lens is less than 10cm long and will launch in December at a price of $1499.

The EF 35mm f/2 IS USM Lens succeeds Canon's EF 35mm F2 lens, and is another compact addition to their lens lineup.  The lens features advanced lens coatings, image stabilization, and fast ultrasonic autofocus, and lets you manually focus at any time if you wish to do so.  This lens will also be launching in December for $849.

Canon boasts that both of these lenses feature their latest AF technology, and that the new 35mm will focus much faster and quieter than its predecessor.

Thanks to its built-in WiFi and GPS, you can even go online with the camera and take full advantage of just about any app available through Google Play.  There are apps out there that will let you e-mail posts, wirelessly transfer them to a PC, or even edit them in-camera!

With this lens you can capture a wide variety of subjects for just about any purpose, and the fast aperture of F5.6 will allow you to get sharper images at a distance compared to F6.3 lenses.  The new 18-300mm lens is available for pre-order for a hefty $999.

The new Rebel features an articulating LCD screen and has the following specifications:

• 18-megapixel APS-C sensor
• ISO 100-12800 expandable to 25600
• 5FPS continuous shooting
• Improved 9-point autofocus
1080p/30, 720p/60/50 HD video recording
• 3-inch LCD with over 1,000,000 dots (just above VGA)

The T4i is launching at a price of $849 and is now available for pre-order.  The new Rebel will also be available in kits with the Canon 18-55mm and 18-135mm STM for $949 and $1199, respectively.  These prices are very similar to those of the new Pentax K-30, although the Pentax seems to have a slight edge in terms of specifications, and it is weather-sealed as well.  While the new Rebel certainly looks good on paper, it doesn't look like there's much innovation surrounding it- it's just an upgraded body.

As great as these specifications may seem, that makes this camera a gem is the degree of manual control that it will offer.  It features the 4 basic shooting modes (P/A/S/M) in addition to your typical scene modes, allowing you to manually control any aspect of the exposure if you so desire.  This level of flexibility is rare in cameras this small, but it makes them an even bigger pleasure to use!
