Nikon strikes again with a trio of new four and five figure lenses available for pre-order as follows:
+ Nikon 16-80mm f2.8-4 DX VR for $1067 at Adorama and B&H Photo
Canon 6D body only for $1100 (no mention of warranty)
Back to the eBay Deals we go where RedTag Camera (99.9%) is offering the new condition Canon 6D body only for $1100 with free shipping. Limit five per buyer. Over 300 units sold from this listing so far. There is no mention of warranty on the eBay listing.
This is what some call a “broken kit”, not broken physically but virtually:
“The Canon 6D camera Body for sale is 100% Brand New, Never Used. Lens has been removed from Kit box and sold on a separate auction.”
If you don’t feel comfortable with the above, the 6D body only goes for $1400 with Canon USA warranty and various extra accessories at Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon itself.
If you are looking for something in-between, Adorama has an open-box Canon 6D for $1280 but no freebies and no promotional rewards. Their open box includes the one year Canon USA warranty.
Imported Canon 1D X for $4000
If you are comfortable getting flagship cameras as imported grey-marked, among the latest eBay Deals, seller GetItDigital (99.6%) is offering the new condition imported grey market Canon 1D X body only for $4000 with free shipping and $80 eBay Bucks (if you are a member of ebay’s free rewards program). Limit 5 per customer. Over 230 units sold from this listing. Again, note this is imported, the one year warranty is provided by the seller GetItDigital, not Canon USA!
At authorized Canon dealers, this goes for $5300 but you get some free accessories. For example at Adorama you get a free 128GB CompactFlash and two extra batteries, while at B&H Photo you get a different set of freebies. You also get 2% promotional rewards (=$106~).
If you don’t hate mail-in rebates, Adorama has the usual 1D X Pixma Pro 100 bundle with the usual extras for $5300 after $250 MIR (prepaid AMEX gift card, not check).
Amazon itself is stingy on the freebies, but if you qualify for their Store Credit Card (not the Chase VISA), you can get a 12-month 0% APR financing (you have to make equal installment payments and pay in full by the end of the 12 months in order to avoid interest. They have long Terms and Conditions.
So the trade-offs is $4000 without Canon USA warranty vs $5300 with Canon USA warranty and extra accessories or financing.
Imported Pentax K-3 II body only for $900
If you are comfortable with imported cameras without Pentax USA warranty, there’s rare Pentax DSLR action at the eBay Deals, eBay seller “Photo4Less” (99.8%) is offering the new condition Pentax K-3 II body only for $900 with free shipping and a limit of five per buyer. The price at authorized dealers such as Adorama and B&H Photo is $1000.

Imported Nikon 50mm f1.8D for $99 w/free s&h
The Nikon 50mm f1.8 D currently goes for around $130~ at authorized dealers (eg Adorama, B&H Photo). Since this is a simple low-priced 50mm prime lens, there is lower risk going grey-market (imported without manufacturer warranty). If so, you can get it for $99 with free shipping by Peach Photo on eBay (99.9%). Over 600 units got sold so far from this listing.
Imported Canon 5D Mark III body for $2000
If you are comfortable with imported camera gear with a seller warranty, not a Canon USA warranty, among the latest eBay Deals, you can get the new condition imported grey-market Canon 5D Mark III body only for $2000 with free shipping with a limit of five per customer. You get a one year warranty from the seller, “Get It Digital” (99.6%). Over 2750 units got sold from this listing so far.

Refurbished Nikon D3300 w/18-55 & 55-200 (both VR) for $450
Don’t refurbish me bro! (okay, I am not sure where I am going with this joke attempt, so I am going to pretend I didn’t write it). Back to the eBay Deals, Beach Camera’s ebay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D3300 with 18-55 and 55-200 (both VR) for $450 with free shipping, and a 90 day Nikon warranty, with a limit of five per customer.
PS: the 55-200 is VR. There’s only one spot in a sub-heading that mentions 55-200 without VR (they probably ran out of space) but all the other mentions have VR. Also, the part number (Nikon part number 2166) is that of the 55-200 VR.
Refurbished Canon SL1 w/18-55 for $350
Back to the eBay Deals the manufacturer refurbished black Canon SL1 w/18-55 STM is offered for $350 with free shipping with a limit of five per customer by eBay seller “northwest-outdoor” (98.9%). This is described as “Canon Authorized Refurbished Product w/ 90 Day Warranty”.
On the other hand, if you don’t object to mail-in rebates, Adorama has a nice $550 after $250 MIR bundle that gets you the new condition SL1 with three lenses and the Pixma Pro 100 printer and a few extras.
Hasselblad HV DSLR Camera with 24-70mm for $4000
The A-mount Hasselblad HV DSLR Camera with 24-70mm Lens is currently on sale for $4000 at B&H Photo. Needless to say, the Sony-branded A-mount cameras go for much lower prices, but some may prefer a Hasselblad instead of a Rolex 🙂
(ENDED) Tuesday: Canon 70D w/18-135, Nikon L830 zoom, Sandisk cards
These daily deals ended…
