List of all Black Friday Ads sites.
I still remember that times when I have to find, print, and analyze all Black Friday Ads for myself. A lot of things have changed since that. Now we have a several web sites that already done all this work for you.
First of all: Here is some general and history info about Black Friday (and of course some deals too)

Now let’s move to the actual deals and tools. On this site we have my favorite since last year Black Friday Tool: Shopping List. You can register and then add all items you wish to hunt into this list. That could be very helpful when you prepare for your hunting.

Here is some more sites with BF advertisements. Most of them have discussion forums which sometimes might be helpful too.

Nikon D40: first pictures
Two images of a Nikon D40 leaked from the website of German electronics retailer Neckermann. There are some possible specifications:
- 6 megapixel CCD,
- 3 point focusing,
- No auto focus motor
- No status LCD
This is definitely going to be the cheapest D-SLR from Nikon.
