The new condition red Nikon S2 with the 11-27.5mm kit lens, part of the 1-System, is currently on sale for $250 with free shipping by Beach Camera on Amazon. This ships from Beach (NJ), so it is not eligible for Prime shipping benefits. The other color schemes go for $300+… This too surfaced while price-checking for the price-charts (which is why it is/was important to do these!)…

Refurbished white Nikon AW1 w/11-27mm for $430

Another potentially interest discount surfacing during the price-charts price-checking. Nikon is artificially keeping the price of the AW1 with 11-27.5mm at $700 (same price as in December 2014 when we did the previous price chart)… But if you want to get the kit, you can get it in refurbished condition, in the white color scheme, for $430 with free shipping and a 90 day Nikon USA warranty by Adorama.
