Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
If you happen to be looking for the Nikon D3 body only kit, it is available manufacturer-refurbished with a 90 day Nikon warranty at Adorama and by Adorama on eBay… Speaking of old school Nikon DSLRs, the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D2X is available for $1500 with free shipping at Adorama.
PS: these surfaced while I was price-checking other cameras for the Camera Price Charts – in case this post feels like a random blast from the past 🙂
If you are interested in the Nikon A, we have good-news/bad-news for you. We start with the bad news: the silver Adorama bundle with four extras for $400 is sold-out and no longer orderable. Also, Amazon’s lowest price is now $460.
The good news now: if you want the Nikon A and the DF-CP1 OVF optical viewfinder, the black Nikon A bundle has dropped from $570 to $520 at B&H Photo.
If you prefer the silver Nikon A and the DF-CP1 OVF, at B&H Photo, you can click the “Save $300 On Nikon DF-CP1 Optical Viewfinder” under “Savings Available” and add it. This allows you to add the DF-CP1 OVF kit for +$100. So $400 + $100 = $500.
If you prefer the silver Nikon A without any extras, it continues to sell for $400 at B&H Photo and Best Buy (store pickup).
As of a 12/29/14 recheck, the price is back to $6500… The Nikon D4S body only kit is currently going for $6200 with free shipping at OneCall.com and by OneCall at Amazon… It goes for $6500 with various free accessories and 2% rewards (=$130) at B&H Photo and Adorama.
As of a 12/29/14 recheck, the price is back to $2300… The Nikon D750 body only is currently going for $2150 with free shipping by OneCall at Amazon instead of its usual price of $2300.
The Nikon D5200 two lens holiday bundle that consists of the D5200 and 18-55 and 55-200 DX non-VR lenses and the Nikon WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter and the Nikon School DVD and camera case and 16GB SDHC card is now down to $580 with free shipping at Adorama and Amazon by Amazon itself (limit 2).
This daily deal expired but many of the Woot deals are recurring, so it may return at some point in the future…

The Nikon D7000 body only is discounted gain! It is now going for $490 (was $500, was $485) with free shipping, with a limit of three per customer, at Amazon by Amazon itself. This is a live price, not part of the lightning deals, so only the future knows if/when it will change.

This limited time offer expired… If you don’t want to go through the long Lightning Deals schedule post but you are interested in Nikon DSLRs, there is going to be a lightning deal on the Nikon D5100 w/18-55 starting at 10:50am Eastern (7:50am pacific) on Friday 12/12/14 at the Amazon Gold Box.

This daily deal expired… One of the Best Buy Deals of the Day (third from the bottom) for Thursday 12/11/14 is the refurbished black Nikon Coolpix S9700 compact-zoom (30x optical) offered for $170 with free shipping.
If there’s an official Canon discount, there’s must also be a parallel Nikon discount, otherwise the planet will spin off its axis! Nikon too has a new round of discounts, these are more user-friendly though, they are instant-rebates, not mail-in rebates. The Nikon D610 body only goes for $1500, while the Nikon D810 goes for $3000 [corrected; I deducted $300 twice]. The other kits based on these cameras have been discounted appropriately. You can see these nicely organized at Adorama. The promotion expires by the end of day on 12/13/14 per that page. You also get free overnight shipping!
Adorama is offering four free accessories (Nikon WU-1b wireless adapter, extra Nikon EN-EL15 battery, Nikon camera bag with Nikon School DVDs, 16GB Sandisk SDHC) and 4% promotional rewards with the purchase of these three Nikon D610 DSLR kits: body only ($1600) or w/24-85mm VR ($2000) or w/28-300mm VR ($2400).
If you only want a Nikon DSLR body, and you are comfortable buying imported (gray market) models, you can get the new condition imported (grey market) Nikon D3200 body only for $265 with free shipping when you use coupon code Loyalty10 (= $10 off) at Abe’s of Maine. Imported = no warranty from Nikon USA.
The Nikon A “falling knife price” continues! As of the time of writing, you can get it for $464 in either silver or black by Norman Camera through Amazon. Amazon’s own price is $483 for the silver and $500 for the black.
If of all the Nikon DSLRs out there it is the Nikon D7000 body only kit the one that you want, it is currently on sale for $525 with free shipping, with a limit of three per shopping cart at Amazon by Amazon herself.

On the other hand, if you are looking for an entry into the CX system without breaking the bank, the red Nikon S1 with 10-30mm and free case continues to go for $150 at B&H Photo (but the bundle with the underwater housing sold out very quickly).
Another “prearranged marriage” at the eBay Deals, this time it is of the Nikon DSLR variety. For $430 with free shipping, BuyDig’s eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D5200 w/18-55 _PLUS_ Lightroom 5 for $430 with free shipping, with a limit of five per buyer. It comes with a 90 day warranty. The Nikon gear is refurbished. Lightroom is not refurbished 🙂 As usual with these featured eBay Deals, they are limited time, of unpredictable exact expiration date.
UPDATE: on the other hand, if you prefer new condition and you don’t need Lightroom, Adorama is offering new condition Nikon D5200 two lens kits (18-55, 55-200, both DX non-VR) for $700 that include WU-1a Mobile Adapter, travel case, 16GB card, Nikon School DVD in either the red kit or the the black kit.
