Refurbished Nikon D3300 w/18-55 & 55-200 (both VR) w/90-day Nikon USA warranty for $350

Bubbling around in the eBay Top 100 trending deals is yet another manufacturer refurbished Nikon DSLR promotion with a 90 day Nikon USA warranty. It is the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D3300 with the 18-55 and 55-200 DX VR II lenses (both lenses are VR) going for $350 with free shipping, with a limit of two per customer by Beach Camera on eBay. This is available in either black or red D3300. Over 760 units got sold so far from this eBay listing per the numbers shown there.

There are many and more Nikon DSLR kits floating out there, it’s a buyers market, with the silver lining being option overload. But I’m pretty sure the people who paid $2000 for an APS-C DSLR thirteen years ago would be willing to trade choice overload for 1/7th the price 🙂

Last Call for the NAB 2016 Specials

We are now in the last few hours of the NAB 2016 Specials. Last call as they say. B&H closes at 7pm ET today (Thursday 4/21/16) and will re-open on 5/1/16, so this is the final countdown for the NAB offers.

If you don’t feel like going through all the offers, here are some pre-sorted links by product category: 10 Tripods (Benro, Magnus, E-Image, Manfrotto, etc) and 30 LED Lights (Genaray, Litepanels, Dracast, Ledgo, Cool-Lux, etc) and 2 Impact Green Screens and 2 Flolights and 3 Westcott Cine Kits.

One more thing, if you are looking for a workstation-caliber $1000 laptop, the HP 15.6″ OMEN Pro Multi-Touch Mobile Workstation PC, model L9U78AA#ABA, goes for $1000. It has a late May 2016 shipping estimate though. Specs include Core i7-4870HQ Quad-Core, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM, 15.6″ UWVA Anti-Glare 1920 x 1080 Touchscreen, 512GB Z Turbo Drive M.2 PCIe SSD, NVIDIA Quadro K1100M with 2 GB GDDR5 VRAM, 64-bit Windows 7 Professional, 3 year warranty, etc.

Refurbished Nikon S7000 (20x optical, Wifi) for $123

Another compact zoom sale, the black Nikon Coolpix S7000 (20x optical, Wifi) is available in certified refurbished condition with a 90 day warranty for $123 with free shipping by Beach Camera thru Amazon. The new condition price at authorized dealers is $200 with free accessories (eg Adorama).

This ships from a Beach Camera facility, but if you are a Prime member, you still get free Prime shipping. This is because of a recent expansion of the Prime program benefits where some retailers for some products (such as Beach Camera and recently Adorama) also offer fast shipping for Prime members. The downside of this is that you have to pay even more attention to the product listings to notice all these distinctions. Annotated screenshot crop below highlighting the points to look at:
