Imported Nikon D810 body only for $2100 [or refurbished with extras for $2450]

If you are comfortable with imported (grey market, non-NikonUSA warranty) camera gear, eBay Deals have a temptation for you. Seller “GetItDigital” (99.7%) is offering the new condition Nikon D810 Body Only for $2100 with free shipping, with a limit of five per customer. Over 180 units got sold so far from this listing. You get a 1-year warranty from the seller GetItDigital, not from Nikon USA!

In comparison, at authorized Nikon dealers, the D810 body only goes for $3000 with a boatload of accessories at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon.

Somewhere in-between these two options price-wise, Adorama is offering the refurbished D810 body only with three free accessories (extra EN-EL15, 32GB Lexar, Slinger bag) for $2450.

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.

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.
