The new condition Nikon D500 body only (APS-C flagship) goes for $1900 at authorized dealers that bundle it with some free accessories such as Amazon and Adorama.
But if you are comfortable with manufacturer refurbished DSLRs, the Nikon D500 body only is available in manufacturer refurbished condition at Adorama for $1500 with free expedited shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty.
Speaking of Adorama and refurbished Nikons, here’s the rest of their inventory:
+ most recently added refurbished options
+ all refurbished Nikon items
The new condition Nikon D5600 with 18-55 DX VR goes for $800 at authorized dealers (eg Amazon and Adorama), but if you want to save some, you can get it in manufacturer refurbished condition for $680 with free shipping at Adorama with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty.
Speaking of Adorama and refurbished Nikons, here’s the rest of their inventory:

Wallets open wide. Open ALL the frames in your wallet. The Nikon full frame DSLR that was promised is now a real product. The Nikon D850 body only is officially announced and pre-orders are accepted for $3300 at authorized dealers including B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon itself.
With this new addition, the DSLRs take an 8-7 lead versus Mirrorless cameras among the New Cameras of 2017. But the score is far from settled, IFA is just around the corner. There is no Photokina this year since it is an odd-numbered year [and a very odd year to boot], so announcements may be spread out more evenly among the remaining Trade Shows.
In a surprisingly fast move (for this blog these days), the Nikon D850 has also just been added to the Stock Status Tracker. This is the fastest I’ve ever added a camera to the tracker 🙂
The Nikon D7500 body only goes for $1250 in new condition at authorized dealers, but if you prefer open-box condition from reputable dealers, you can get it for $1120 with free shipping as open-box at B&H Photo… For the big picture, check the Stock Status Tracker…
The newly launched 6% to 8% eBay Bucks promotion puts in new light this offer at the eBay Deals. The Beach Camera eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D3400 Two-Lens DX Kit for $400 with free shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty.
Only the black color scheme is available. It includes the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G DX VR lens and the 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED DX non-VR. With 8% eBay Bucks, you’d be getting $32 in eBay Bucks (if you are eligible and you manually activate the promotion).
PS: non-VR is not an official Nikon designation but it serves as a practical disambiguation, since the lack of mentioning VR in a lens name may be a typo/error. Saying non-VR clarifies to the reader that this is not a VR lens. Or maybe I’m overthinking things 🙂
More eBay Deals action, the BuyDig eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D7200 body only for $680 with free shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty with a limit of up to five units per customer.
The new condition D7200 body only goes for $1000 at authorized dealers, which are allowed to include free accessories, such as Amazon and Adorama.
Since the D7500 is the latest model, currently going for $1250 in new condition in body only [see Stock Status Tracker], it’s probably a good idea to go refurbished if you are buying the previous generation (almost half the price of D7500), instead of getting a new D7200 that’s only $250 away from the D7500. But of course it’s your decision 🙂
As of 8/31/17 this sold out at the low used prices…
Another wave of sales/discounts is happening at Amazon Warehouse Deals, including a Four Thirds DSLR “Take Pictures With” kit. This is for Four Thirds fans and hardcore cameraholics, it should go without saying. There is one (was two) USED Good condition listings of the Olympus E-420 with 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 Zuiko for the very specific price of $75~ [WAS $85.51]. This is sold by Amazon (Warehouse Deals) itself, not 3rd-party sellers.
We have two back to back Tamron lens deals. We start a physically big zoom, the new condition Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di USD lens on sale at B&H Photo for $819 with free shipping in the Sony A option or for $869 in the Canon EF system or $899 in the Nikon F system. The Canon and Nikon systems are VC (optical image stabilization). All three options get 4% promotional rewards. This is a limited time offer.
Zoom, zoom! The new condition Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD AF lens is on sale for $359 with free expedited shipping in the Canon EF mount and for $399 in the Nikon F mount at B&H Photo, along with 4% promotional rewards for each one.
Sunday also means another round of featured USED Weekly Sales at KEH has been added. These are eligible for 25% off with permanent coupon KEHDEALS and continue until Friday night of the same week (eg Friday 8/25/17 in this case).
This week includes:
+ USED Canon 70-300mm F/4-5.6 IS USM EF starts at $193 after coupon
+ USED Mamiya RZ67 Medium Format Camera Body starts at $137+ after coupon
+ NOTE: the $72 option is AS IS (means usable for parts only. Equipment may or may not work. No warranty or return available)
+ also participating is a Mamiya Film Back and Film Insert
They come with a 180-day KEH warranty and hassle-free returns. “AS IS” items don’t have warranty and no returns. That’s partially why they sell for a lot less.
Not eligible for the coupon mentioned above, but KEH Camera also has an on-going OverStock Clearance sale with over 420 items currently participating.
As of 8/31/17 this sold out at the low used prices…
And now some Foveon action at the Amazon Warehouse Deals, available in USED Very Good condition (tested and repackaged) is the Sigma SD1 body only going for $632.73 with free shipping. This is sold by Amazon Warehouse itself, not 3rd-party sellers.
Another discount among the used offerings at Amazon Warehouse Deals, there are three listings available in “Used Very Good” and “Used Like New” condition of the Nikon AF-P DX 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED non-VR lens with prices ranging from $114 to $120 for the “Used – Like New” condition. Given the price difference between them and the price difference between the new condition model, probably getting the best condition is a good idea!
PS: this listing shows all the used options.
We have another In-Stock Alert, the brand new Nikon AF-P 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR is now in-stock and ready to ship at its starting price of $747 with free shipping at B&H Photo and Adorama.
The value of free accessories may be diluted when you are buying a $2000 camera or lens, but when you are buying a $150 item, the free accessories are a much higher percentage of the value of a product. Case in point, the new condition Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED AF-S DX VR II is on sale for $147 at some authorized Nikon authorized dealers.
At Adorama, you can get it for the same price, with free shipping with FREE accessories: the Corel software bundle (five titles, including AfterShot PRO 2 and Paintshop PRO X9 and VideoStudio 9), a 52mm Pro Optic Filter Kit (three filters and a case), and a lens cap tether.
If you don’t want/need the free accessories, you can instead get 4% promotional rewards at B&H Photo for the same price of $147 with free S&H.
