Refurbished Nikon D7100 body with $10 rewards for $500
If you are looking for a more advanced Nikon APS-C dSLR, and you are comfortable with refurbished and the $500-ish price-point, the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D7100 body only is now down to $500 with free expedited shipping and $10 promotional rewards at Adorama. It comes with a 90 day Nikon warranty.
UPDATE: one more option for $500, Adorama’s eBay store.
The same price (without the $10 promotional rewards) continues to be available by Cameta thru NewEgg… UPDATE #1: the Cameta-NewEgg listing is now updated to show a one year warranty… UPDATE #2: if buying on 11/11/15, you can get $11 off if you buy thru VISA checkout…
At Cameta’s own website it goes for $530 but it includes a one year warranty provided by Cameta. This is still a refurbished by Nikon USA, so the first 90 days are from Nikon, and the rest of the year by Cameta (check their warranty page for more details).
