Nikon Deals & Offers

I've got the Sigma and am very happy with it, as are most owners. The Tamron was a consideration but I didn't see enough to convince me the premium was warranted for my use.

Fair points, like I said just my opinion but I have used the Tamron predecessor and Sigma 105 and found the sigma better. Whilst no longer comparing like with like, I have used the Sigma 150 f2.8 OS and that beat any Macro lens I have ever used and could be used for action shots too. The OS was only ever needed for action shots. Macro always done manual focus with OS off. things may have moved on but the only Tamron lens I had that I felt delivered was my ADII 80-210.

Has it occured to you about water drop photography that involves water? Or many other macro subjects involving liquid? It is also a stunning portrait lens, which means you could be carrying it out and about and get caught out by a shower, or sea splash perhaps It also mean you could take it out in the snow for some nice macro shots The weather sealing is worth its weight in gold 25% less weight makes it easier handling too for those macro shots ;)

Never occurred to me to take macro pictures when It is raining. I don't think what its with 50% more on the price personally. Just my opinion.

Because the Tamron is weather sealed, lighter, scores a higher DXO mark, smaller aperture, 5 years warranty

£484 on Amazon now

Now £522.35 if anyone still interested

If it’s what I think it is, I bought one with my very first Canon DSLR kit years ago and it was £109 then. So likelihood is not worth much anymore.

Look at MPB

Look at Amazon or Wex websites. Will give you an idea of new and used prices

If I wasn't about to Canon for 8k I'd have been all over this.

Yes its OOS now. Will expire.

Seems to be gone now.

:) XD

Maybe you're right, I'm not an expert by any means, but when I look at photos I took with a cheap digital zoom lens point & shoot camera, well over a decade ago, they look pretty good! I'd be surprised if this is as poor as you state, quality wise. I just reckon high end phone manufacturers are duping us, no way their cameras are worth such extortionate amounts 😏

Always worth checking CEX for s/hand cameras. You can get some pretty decent cameras for very little money and they offer a long warranty, 2 years I think. 'B' grade are normally pretty good.

There are certainly cases for a dedicated compact camera but not one like this which while cheap it's such a poor camera it's a waste of money. It's a much older design than it looks using a very dated 16MP CCD sensor, it's slow, its AF is unreliable, batterylife is poor and it has no image stabilisation at all. The 'electronic VR' is just marketing nonsense for it increasing the iso to boost the shutter which doesn't work well when the sensor is so bad at high iso. Even a cheap smartphone is likely to be able to get better results than this and at least a heck of a lot more convenient.

Is this a more versatile STILL camera than that in a thousand pounds iPhone 11? Tell the truth.... :p

In before the 'just use your phone' brigade: There are still use cases for a dedicated compact camera. This has a decent interface, logically arranged controls, and a smattering of image stabilization. That being said, 720p video is a bit blegh.

No need to be sorry, thanks for the post. It was worth the punt.

Gutted sorry guys :S how annoying! Thought it seemed too good to be true

Cancelled and refunded. Ah well. Better luck next time. Thanks though, Libre11. (y) 🏻

Unfortunately we have experienced an IT error on our website which resulted in the Sigma 20mm f/1.4 DG HSM | Art - Nikon F (Stockcode G242246N) being listed at £319.00 instead of £669.00. As a result we have cancelled your order, refunded your payment and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused

Same - refunded. It has saved me a cudgelling from the good lady though. Nothing gets past her during quarantine.

I just bought a sony a5100 "B" from cex - came with original box. I got my nikon 35/1.8 3 or more years ago - EDIT - I DID get original box. Seems 50/50 box or not 2 yr g'tee of sorts and often cheaper than ebay - today 2 sold ~£110 and £!39 Forgot - don't think you will sell the 35mm in a rush - it's good for indoors , compact, quick focus - just generally well liked . . and cheap ! Read from the Introduction - about 1/2 way down https://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/35mm-f18.htm edit - did get nikon box

I've never bought anything from CEX, those are 2nd hand yeah? I like to have the box in case I ever decide to sell things on 😝

Never said they were, I cover many other subjects including weddings and my camera covers them very well

£100 , some g'tee ,can return under dist.selling regs in stock , cex https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail?id=slennik35f18gdx&categoryName=camera-lenses&superCatName=electronics&title=nikon-af-s-nikkor-35mm-f-1.8g-dx May be lucky on ebay and get one for ~£80 ?? But often sell for more than cex.

Not everyone is in to action photography; I can see for Mma the fastest auto focus would be best. Mirrorless wil keep getting better and is where the camera companies are likley to devote more R&D spend.

I kept getting an error message when I tried to sign up. I just tried again and it's working now, thanks for replying :)

I just clicked the top video and after providing some details got access to the classes...

I couldn't get myself signed up either, seems it may be North America only

How to get these videos to play? I have registered but cant play these. Are these live classes?

This will complement my n-photo digital subscription 📸

Seems a bit expensive.

I spotted it now "VR" after checking my alerts, I bought a rift S and now looking for cheap games. I take it VR stands for vibration reduction not virtual reality.

By all accounts an excellent camera and sharing the Z lens mount with full frame was a wise move by Nikon, something Canon must surely regret.

I didn't get a notification for this deal and it is very relevant to my keyword alerts but then this is HKD so who knows.

I have absolutely no idea why I got a notification for this deal, it has no relevance to my keyword alerts. Anybody else?

A few factors really, theres no internal focus motor on Z6, battery life cant touch 850, the 850 with higher resolution and no aa filter will work better with macro work, the 850 sensor scores a higher DXO mark Dont get me wrong (and I appreciate the input), the z6 is a great camera but I'm not ready to jump on the mirroless train yet, if I could afford both then the lightness, faster burst, better live focus, ibis of the z6 are positives

Why not consider the Nikon Z6, with the latest firmware this easily competes with the A7 iii and with the FTZ adapter you could use your Nikon lenses.

I would like focus bracketing on my next body, that and the glass will keep me in the Nikon camp for a few years yet I expect

If I get good price on my lenses then I may sell and go sony

Unfortunately I'm locked in to Nikon with my glass, but good shout

cold...can't make calls with it...? (shock) (ninja)

Seems oos now.

If you want this with the 24-70mm lens Panamoz are selling it for £1550 presently. They also supply a 3 year UK based warranty, which is better than standard. :)

This deal should be expired. There's not a single JL store in the country with the stock. Also, based on my experience with JL, once item is back in stock, price goes up immediately.

I'd wait, it'll keep dropping. P.s, for those going on about smart phones, try zooming in on the image, try shooting in low light, try shooting fast action, try taking a landscape, putting in lightroom and editing it - it will fall to bits.

Remember to factor in the price of an XQD card and reader, about £249 for 120GB+reader. Seems later stock doesn't come with the free Sony 64gb card.

Im not sure Nikon is miles ahead, but they are putting out some great quality lens's for the Z line. I love my z6 after trading my kit in for it. The weight of the system and the IBIS are huge benefits. The kit lens is very sharp, as is the 50mm.

Yeah, no point to use crop sensor lenses on a modern full frame...it depends what you want to shoot, your style and your budget...first you have to decide what focal lengths you prefer, and between zooms or primes...e.g. I enjoy shooting an 85mm prime, but it's no good as all-arounder. And if you choose the canon to z adapter, then even more affordable choices available. But eventually you have to get at least one native lens.

I've done some extensive research. Not sure which way to go. I have a Tamron 300mm zoom, canon fit lens & a Sony zoom lens that I could use if I bought the right adapter but these are APS-C lenses rather than full frame. Somehow I feel I should look full frame & sell these off. Would just like to get started without spending a fortune lol!

You can get the adapter and choose a couple good f-mount lenses to get you started. Plenty to choose from, affordable, and from what I've heard, work flawlessly, almost like a native one.

I managed to get one of the last few a couple of weeks ago. (y) Sadly never came with a memory card tho'. Had to spill out for a cfexpress card :( Also had to have the firmware updated for this of which I could not do myself as I had no card! However a kind Nikon dealer did it for me (y) Just need a lens or 2 now....

Sorry typical argos stock

Out of stock now.

Anyone who appreciates good quality photos that can be printed large scale rather than small 5x7”, camera phones still can’t compete with these cameras. Maybe in another 5-10 years. Phones are great for social media types.

Great price. Gutted I bought this recently for similar without the lens.

Ah now If only my camera had a phone in it. Sigh (confused) (skeptical)

I own this camera and wouldn't be without it. If like me, only shooting family portraits and few landscape here and there, you don't need to spend anymore money than this. Learn photography before investing in photography gear as you don't want expensive equipments to just gather dust.

Here you go. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5tzLGdyC8FpBvKSr1GS4WLy/distance-selling-regulations George

What is distance selling regulations

https://www.e-infin.com/uk/item/3859/nikon_ftz_mount_adapter_bulk_packaging_no_box

Distance Selling Regulations, just return it

If you’ve brought it mail order then you should be able to return it for a refund. Touch screen on the Z6 is quite a bit better than the Sony A7 iii.

Gets a Which! Don't Buy award. 33%

Argos. Ordered online before w/end. Not many left now.

Did you buy from the ex communicado? That's the only place where I see it on sale for £1199.

Ok took the plunge today. £100 cheaper than this deal :D Unfortunately tho' no memory card included :( All I now need is a Lens or two & an adapter. Seen you can get Canon EF & EF-S adapters so might get one of these for now for my current couple of lenses.

ok ta; good to know. A D750 would also give you some benefits but maybe not as many.

Ergonomics, buttons better placed, hand grip much more comfortable. Better EVF, really nice for manual focusing. Better Lenses, the Nikon 24-70 S f4 is tack sharp and considerably better than the Sony 24-70 f4 and cheaper as an overall package (£1745 for the Nikon vs £2339 for the Sony). The Video mode is pretty cool too, again better than the Sony. Mine also came with a XQD card in the box which is noticeably quicker when copying photos or videos.

Decent saving at £669 for the Tamron if you can cope with buying an import.

Tamron 17-28 f2.8 for Sony costs £866 on Amazon.co.uk I think 17-35 & 35-150, if they were released for Sony, would suit me best

Expensive in general or for this lens it's normally £500

Seems expensive to me but i guess it depends on what lens you see it through...

Sony have the tamron 17-28 f2.8 as a constant aperture, or just buy this and adapt.

This is a great lens. I use mine with Nikon crop sensor and full frame cameras. It is lighter than the Sigma equivalents, and results are brilliant.

Looks like you may find one on lovehoney

A great lens at a great price for a non-Grey Import. Currently use this every week for my non-league football photography.

P1050 coming I wonder? Lol

I agree. For people who leave their DSLR in auto, bridge cameras like that are probably better and a much cheaper way to get something with a big zoom. DSLRs are hugely versatile and great for when things get more creative, but you need to learn how to use them to get the best out of them (I'm definitely not an expert but have done a few courses which were really worthwhile).

Annoyingly excellent deal. Just paid £400 a week ago for this. Brilliant camera for the money as supported by its reviews when a much higher price.

'Nykon' is the American pronunciation. Actual Japanese pronunciation below

There were rumours that Nikon will finish with D5*** line. This is 2016 camera and there is no sign of replacement.

The D5000 series is a great camera to start out with, I still have my D5200 couldn't part with it, the multi screen is so useful www.instagram.com/maygoodslaf

I've always said N i kon as in knickers. But saw a top photographer on TV the other day calling it N I kon as in Night.
