If you are not interested in the boatload of free accessories and instead you want a pro printer with the Canon 1D X II, then to B&H Photo we go where they bundle the 1D X II with the PIXMA PRO 100 printer and SG-201 paper kit for $5549 after a $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX gift card).
Canon 1D X II Body with Flashpoint Zoom R2 TTL On-Camera Flash and 64GB Extreme PRO CF and Takama Tripod/Monopod Kit and more for $5500
The Canon 1D X Mark II body only is down $200 since our November 2017 price charts, but that’s not all. It is also getting a handful of useful freebies at Adorama including their house brand Flashpoint Zoom Li-on R2 TTL On-Camera Flash Speedlight (which goes for $179 on its own), along with the following freebies:
+ Takama Flip-Zip Multi-Functional Photo Tripod Monopod Kit
+ 64GB Sandisk Extreme PRO Compact Flash
+ new Corel software bundle (four titles including After Shot and PSP)
+ 24/7 Messenger Bag
+ intervalometer and release cable
+ card wallet and cleaning kit
+ one vial with Tears of Nikon [okay, this is NOT included]
Sony a7 with 28-70 OSS and Rode PRO R Mic for $1000
We continue our Full Frame price-checking with the entry-point into the Sony 35mm FF a-series. The a7 body only dropped to $800 with the early February Sony instant savings wave, while the “take pictures with” kit with the 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS dropped to $1000.
Fast forward to now, and the a7 with 28-70mm is getting a pretty useful freebie from Adorama, for the same price of $1000 they also include the new condition Rode Microphones VideoMic Pro R Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Rycote Lyre Shock Mount.
The mic on its own goes for $230, eg B&H Photo and Amazon itself, so that’s a pretty good value!
Sony a7r II body with One Useful Freebie (Five Options)
The Sony Instant Savings of early February gave us plenty of Sony lens discounts and also Sony camera discounts but that’s not all. Some of the discounted cameras are also getting freebies now.
One such discounted camera was the Sony a7r II which is now down to $2400. It went for $2900 during our November 2017 Price charts. A $500 price drop, part of it of course because of the new $3200 a7r III. Sony has been staircasing the prices of the RX-series (they still haven’t discontinued any of those RAWsumers), so it makes sense they are doing this with their a-series as well.
Okay, too much mumbling, the point of this post is this, the a7r II body only goes for $2400 with free shipping and a variety of freebie options as follows:
+ at B&H Photo with 4TB WD My Passport USB 3.0 Secure Portable Hard Drive
+ at B&H Photo with Adobe Photographer Plan Creative Cloud 12-Month Subscription Kit
+ at Adorama with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 (stand alone version; not cloudy edition)
+ at Adorama with Tascam DR-10SG Camera-Mountable Audio Recorder with Shotgun Microphone
+ at Adorama with various free accessories (32GB Extreme PRO, extra battery, etc) along with the new Corel software bundle (four on-topic software titles)
Refurbished Nikon D610 body w/90D W for $1040
As you can tell by today’s posts so far, the first round of price-checking for the Price Charts is the 35mm Full Frame Cameras (iLC or Fixed Lens). The Nikon D610 body only goes for $1500 at authorized Nikon USA dealers, but if you are willing to the manufacturer refurbished, you can pay just over 2/3rds of that, going for $1040 with free shipping at Adorama with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty.
Refurbished Nikon D810 Body w/90D W for $1900
If you are going to get the Nikon D810, since it is no longer the latest model [that’s the elusive Nikon D850 – see Stock Status Tracker], you might as well go the way of the refurbished and save a significant amount of money.
The new condition Nikon D810 body only goes for $2800 at authorized dealers, but if you go the manufacturer refurbished route, you can get it for $1900 with free shipping at Adorama with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty. That’s $900 less!
PS: “90D” is short for 90 days, “W” is short for Warranty. I am trying to keep blog-post titles one line with the desktop/laptop view. If they go for more than one line, they’d better fill up the second line, otherwise they are eating up space.
Nikon D810A gone from B&H and Adorama but still available
Another disappearing act! The Nikon D810A is no longer available for purchase from B&H Photo and Adorama, but if you still want to get it in new condition from an authorized dealer Amazon itself has it for its normal price of $3800 with a maximum of three per customer. It is in the all-encompassing “temporarily out of stock” shipping estimate though.
Nikon D5 Anniversary gone from B&H, but still available elsewhere
The time is right in the year for a brand new Price Charts series to begin! I have began doing the spreadsheet work and price-checking! This will continue for this week (other things equal) and you may see an increase in deals/posts featuring the cameras that are tracked in the Price Charts as the price-checks surface different kinds of deals directly or indirectly.
If you want to re-familiarize yourself with the Price Charts series, this link shows all previous editions (going back to December 2014).
The first thing that surfaced is the Nikon D5 Anniversary edition is starting to run out. The camera is marked Discontinued and unorderable at B&H Photo but it remains in-stock at Adorama for the five of you that may interested in it 🙂 Amazon itself still has it as “not yet released” but it’s still available for $8000 by Adorama and Unique Photo thru Amazon. Paying for this with an Amazon Prime VISA or Prime Store Card gets you a 5% statement credit, which in this case it’s a pretty nice $400 amount!
Canon 6D Body Breaks the $1000 barrier, now down to $999 (with Various FREEBIES)

+ Amazon’s own price has not dropped to $999 yet, but 3rd-party sellers are already there
Canon 5D Mark III Body drops to $1999 (with FREE 1-YR Adobe Photography Plan Creative Cloud)
If you don’t want to deal with refurbished, grey market, used, or mail-in rebates, but instead you want to get the Canon 5D Mark III in new condition from authorized and reputable Canon USA dealers, we have good news for you! The 5D III body only is now down to $1999, along with the prices getting adjusted for the other 5D III kits.
But that’s not all, they also get some freebies as follows:
+ Also at B&H Photo you get a FREE 1-Year Photography Creative Cloud plan with 20GB cloud storage
The Canon 5D Mark IV is the latest model and the III appears to be on its way out, so if you are interested in it, keep that in mind. Already the III is no longer available from Adorama or Amazon itself (3rd party sellers have it but at much higher prices)

In parallel, B&H Photo is also running a Sony Trade-IN Promotion. The trade-in promotion will run until 3/31/18. The Trade-IN Bonus will depend on which camera you trade-in, it ranges from $200 to $500 depending on which Sony a-camera you trade-in. The trade-in bonus is in addition to the actual used value of the camera. So if your used camera is worth $400 and it is eligible for the $500 trade-in bonus, you will get $500 towards the purchase of a new eligible Sony camera, and a $400 check for the actual value of your used camera.
