If you are looking for a more advanced Nikon APS-C dSLR, and you are comfortable with refurbished and the $500-ish price-point, the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D7100 body only is now down to $500 with free expedited shipping and $10 promotional rewards at Adorama. It comes with a 90 day Nikon warranty.

UPDATE: one more option for $500, Adorama’s eBay store.

The same price (without the $10 promotional rewards) continues to be available by Cameta thru NewEgg… UPDATE #1: the Cameta-NewEgg listing is now updated to show a one year warranty… UPDATE #2: if buying on 11/11/15, you can get $11 off if you buy thru VISA checkout…

At Cameta’s own website it goes for $530 but it includes a one year warranty provided by Cameta. This is still a refurbished by Nikon USA, so the first 90 days are from Nikon, and the rest of the year by Cameta (check their warranty page for more details).

Another refurbished Nikon offer, this time Adorama is offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D3300 with 18-55 DX VR II, in the black color scheme, for $314 with free expedited shipping and 2% promotional rewards (= $6~).

The refurbished Nikon D7100 body only is offered for $500 by Cameta at NewEgg. Limit three per customer… Per the warranty tab, this comes with a 90-day warranty. It is not clear whether the warranty is from Nikon or Cameta… Items sold directly on Cameta’s own website come with a 1 year Cameta warranty…

This was a deal of the day for $500, but the $500 price continues as of 11/3/15 recheck… , as one of the NewEgg Shell-Shocker deals of the day good until 3am ET on Tuesday or earlier if sold out…

Adorama launched a trio of refurbished Nikon camera deals as a flash sale. We start with the refurbished Nikon D7100 bundle that includes the refurbished D7100 body only, the refurbished 55-300 f4.5-5.6 DX VR lens, the refurbished Nikon WU-1a Wireless Adapter, and the Corel Creativity Software bundle that includes Aftershot Pro 2 and Paintshop Pro X7. The price is $700 with free expedited shipping and $18 promotional rewards. The refurbished items come with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty.

If you don’t need the 55-300 lens or the Corel software, the refurbished D7100 body only goes for $580 at Cameta Camera (or slightly more with various accessory bundles).

The certified manufacturer refurbished Nikon D800E body only is currently available for $2000 with free shipping and a 90 day warranty and original accessories by Beach Camera thru Amazon. This ships from Beach Camera, so it is not eligible for Prime shipping.

The Nikon D7100 body only is offered in factory refurbished condition for $580 with free shipping at Cameta Camera with a one year Cameta warranty… If you happen to need accessories as well, they have a variety of bundles over there (look on the right side under “Popular Kits”)…

Late start today, fifteen yard penalty! There’s plenty of action today, and we have to start somewhere, how about a refurbished Nikon DSLR body only with a 90 day warranty? It is the Nikon D3200 going for $260 with free shipping by Adorama.

There are many Nikon dSLRs out there these days, making the choice more difficult especially if you are also open to refurbished or open-box or used (yes, I was tempted to write “open to open box”). One of the options is the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D3300 with 18-55mm DX VR II with a 90 day Nikon warranty and 2% promotional rewards (=$6.40) offered for $320 with free shipping by Adorama. Offer ends by 10/30/15 or earlier if sold out.
