Used Nikon D800 for $1080+, Refurbished for $1700

If you prefer the Nikon D800 body only over the Nikon D800E, Adorama has options for you too!

If you are comfortable with heavily used but still functioning DSLRs, KEH Camera is offering the Nikon D800 body only in “BGN” (Bargain) condition for $1079 plus shipping with a 180-day warranty.

The USED prices at Adorama start at $1200 in “Used – Very Good” condition and increase as the condition increases. Check the “What’s in The Box”s section of each individual listing to see what’s included and other details about that particular listing.

USED items sold by Adorama come with a 90-day Adorama warranty.

On the other hand, if you prefer manufacturer refurbished DSLRs with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty, Adorama is offering them in manufacturer refurbished condition for $1700 with free shipping.

Used Nikon D800E for $1400+, Refurbished for $2050

Nikon has a lot of 35mm full frame DSLRs these days, more so in their D8XX-series. Coming out in a few days/weeks is the D850 for $3300 [see Stock Status Tracker], coinciding with the anniversary festivities.

If you want a Nikon D8XX DSLR but want a much lower price, the Nikon D800E is available in USED Condition at Adorama for $1400 plus shipping in “Excellent Minus (E-)” condition with a 90-day warranty from Adorama. Better conditions go for more. These are used, not manufacturer refurbished.

But if you prefer them in officially blessed manufacturer refurbished condition with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty, Adorama is offering them for $2050.

Refurbished Nikon D3400 w/18-55 DX VR for $360, w/18-55 DX VR & 70-300 DX non-VR for $425

If you are looking for a “Take Pictures With” entry-point into the Nikon DSLR system, Adorama has a couple of offers on manufacturer Nikon D3400 DSLR kits with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty as follows:

The manufacturer refurbished Nikon D3400 with 18-55 DX VR in the black color scheme goes for $360 with free shipping.

Or if you want to also get the 70-300mm DX non-VR lens, then you can get the D3400 two lens kit (18-55, 70-300) for $425 with free shipping in the Black Color Scheme or the Red Color Scheme. So $65 more adds the 70-300 DX non-VR lens to your purchase.

Refurbished Nikon D7200 body for $710

The Nikon D7200 body only is no longer “the latest generation”. The Nikon D7500 is the latest APS-C model going for $1250 as body only [see Stock Status Tracker].

The Nikon D7200 body only, in new condition, at authorized dealers, it goes for $1000 with some free accessories, such as Adorama and various at Amazon.

If you are gonna get the previous generation, you might as well pay less by going the manufacturer refurbished route and that’s where Adorama comes in, offering the D7200 body only in manufacturer refurbished condition with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty for $710 with free shipping. That’s almost $300 less than new condition.

Optionally, under the yellow “Special Offer” section, you can add to the camera with a combined purchase discount promotion the 1-Year Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan for +$100, instead of its regular price of +$120.

Speaking of Adorama, here is the latest situation in their Nikon manufacturer refurbished gear:

A proper superzoom lens sale! The new condition Tamron AF18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD lens is on sale for $329 with free expedited shipping in the Canon and Nikon DSLR systems at B&H Photo. VC here meaning Vibration Correction which is Tamron-speak for image stabilization.

This lens is also on sale in the Sony A-mount, however this one is without VC since Sony camera bodies support sensor-shift image stabilization. Check your local photo forums for never-ending debates on the merits of the various image stabilization systems 🙂

As of 9/28/17 9:12am ET recheck, this sale continues… This sale ends on 9/27/17 at 11:59pm ET (or earlier if any of them sell out).

Used Nikon 70-300mm f4.5-6.3G ED DX non-VR for $120

Continuing to dig into the Bargain Bin, as of the time of writing, there is one listing of the Used Nikon 70-300mm f4.5-6.3G ED DX non-VR lens, in “Used – Like New” condition [no further details given] going for $120~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself.

This lens currently goes for $350 on its own in new condition, but it’s frequently bundled with more recent Nikon DSLR two lens kit, so the $350 price is a bit misleading in terms of its effective street market price.

Imported Tamron 24-70 f2.8 Di VC USD for $690 [C/N]

The first generation new condition Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD goes for $1100 at authorized dealers which can include some free accessories such as Adorama.

But if you are a more adventurous shopper, then to the eBay Deals we go, where eBay seller “QuickNDone” (99.9%) is offering the lens in new condition for $690 with free shipping in the Nikon system. Per the listing, the sale ends 9/20/17.

UPDATE: they also offer this in the Canon EF system for the same price.

Further down the product listing, under “Warranty” it says that you get either a 1-Year Tamron International warranty or a 6-Year Tamron Canada warranty, depending on location. They also offer a 30-day return policy.

This is a higher risk than buying in new condition from authorized Tamron USA dealers, that’s one of the reasons for the lower price. I believe “QuickNDone” is a Canadian seller.

Sigma 100-400mm Contemporary + FREE USB Lens Dock and 67mm WR UV filter for $799 [C/N/Si]

You can take pictures with an existing lens, which brings us to the new condition Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary Lens bundled for FREE with the Sigma USB Lens Dock and a 67mm Sigma WR UV lens filter, all together going for $799 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo in your choice of Canon, Nikon or Sigma SLR systems.

Nikon D850 Body gets a September 7 release estimate

Keep in mind, release estimates of new camera gear can sometimes be finicky and can obviously change as time goes by. So with that disclaimer out of the way…

… we have began a full update of the Stock Status Tracker and as of this update…

… the Amazon listing for the Nikon D850 body only shows a September 7 in 2017 release estimate for the camera.

To make sure I’m not hallucinating, here’s a screenshot 🙂

According to Amazon’s Best Seller charts, this is the #1 seller among New Release digital cameras. Keep in mind, the Amazon best seller lists are only as good as the product categories different products are put in. If someone fat-fingers a coffee machine under cameras, it will show in the best sellers 🙂

Nikon D3300 with 18-55 DX VR II and Extras for $447 [CORRECTED]

CORRECTION: this is the D3300, not the D3400 as the original post said. All apologies for the confusion! I am confusion reborn!

If you are looking for a “take pictures with” entry-point in the Nikon DSLR system and like some extra accessories too, Adorama has the new condition Nikon D3300 with 18-55mm DX VR II on sale for $447 in the red color scheme (DSLR red only, not the lens) or the more conventional black color scheme for $447 with free shipping.

It is temporarily on back-order, but you can order it and lock up the $447 price.

The free accessories included by Adorama during this promotion are:

  • Corel software bundle (five titles, including two photo and one video)
  • Lowepro Format 160 camera bag

Refurbished Nikon 50mm f1.8D for $100

Refurbished Nikon D810 body for $2199

The new Nikon D850 is coming later this year for $3300 [see Stock Tracker for options]. The existing Nikon D810 goes for $2800 in new condition at authorize dealers…

… but if you prefer to get it refurbished from an A-list dealer, you can get it refurbished at B&H Photo for $2199 with free shipping with a 90-day warranty (I think the warranty is from B&H, not Nikon).

Strategically, it’s not a bad idea, if you are going for the previous generation model, to get it refurbished or used, when the price difference between the new condition models is closer. Of course this is all relative, and one’s individual preferences and priorities vary, so there’s no one size fits all type of answer.

Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 EX DC HSM for $399 [C/N/A/P/Si]

Or if you prefer lens-y accessories instead of 4% promotional rewards, you can get it for the same price at Adorama.
