Nikon Deals & Offers

The deal won’t become super hot and for the casual observer here I just want to reiterate that the reason is the seller. The price and spec is very good. If you’re worried about the seller but this is your budget then occasionally you can pick one up at this price from eBay and if you want brand new then likewise eBay has some deals around the £485 price. Pay with PayPal, if it doesn’t arrive you’re protected by their buyer protection. If you’re desperately in need of one and this is what you want that’s highly unusual and you’re probably already prepared to stretch your budget for a higher priced and more reputable seller elsewhere. If you’re looking for this and a nifty fifty and you want a reputable seller then beware the curry’s one on a deal at the minute for £579 or so is the mark three lens which is actually not as good as the mark two IS lens, IS being image stabilisation which is useful for macro shots where hand movements can mess up a perfect shot.

grey import, poorly rated seller buyer beware

Great price! Heat added

Thinking of the 1300D deal purely because it includes the 35-70 lens? Just get one from eBay and expect to pay 35-50 quid or so. This one with half hour left is £30 just now. If you want it, buy it, if you want to know the price they go for well from a half hour on you can click it and see what the auction ended at.

If it's bulky, it's not for me, prefer something that can fit in a jacket pocket, like the m6. I also got an a7ii that don't use much, because of the bigger size. If you decide to stay in the system, I strongly suggest to get the 22mm and 11-22mm, I don't think there is anything similar quality/size/price wise in the other systems. Together with a cheap and cheerful 50stm with adapter, you are covered for most situations.

It just feels really bulky and cheap compared to other mirrorless cameras to be honest. I've tried a few and was hoping this was going to be the one, but sadly not. The camera itself is very quick between the menus etc ( I have the g1x mark iii and it's the same). I'd suggest going and trying it out in Jessops though if you already have the others as you might like it. Still i have 30 days to return so might grow on me.

Is it feels cheap/plasticky? Or there is an issue with the controls/menus/operation? I've got the m1/m2/m3, all very good built quality/touch screen imo, but very sluggish in operation, always missing the right moment.

What do you mean? In the way it feels?

What's is the issue(s)?

Budget for a new computer as well to process the huge files! :-)

I guess either £2k for a camera sounds a lot to many people, or as the poster above puts it, they are cheaper through grey import. This is a great price for a UK sourced camera with two year warranty, even if it's freezing on here :D

£510 cheaper for a grey import on ebay.

Why so cold?

Not so sure to be honest, but my wife was shooting pro stuff with a D810 and the basic 50/1.8G with beautiful results. I believe DXOMark benchmark lenses with different bodies, so you should be able to compare results there for the D810 v D610 or D750 with the same lenses.

It was on amazon deal of the day. 24hr thing. Sorry you missed it. Mine arrived today. I have 15 of these units for my minibuses a mix of 5100 and 5200 but the 5200 is a super bit of kit. The stand is modified from the 5100 and is more robust, the WiFi updates are so easy compared to earlier models where you had to update on pc. And the traffic feature on this model with alternate route you don’t even have to accept the route and the amount of time the save. Pay for themselves in wages for me in no time. This is the cheapest I’ve ever seen them. The tend to go for more than this 2nd hand on eBay.

amazing deal but its showing up as £225.98 . please advice

Heat added. Have been watching this for a while and was pinged an alert from the camel people of the price drop. I have an old Garmin with lifetime maps that no longer receives traffic updates so considering defecting. It does annoy me that the support period (for Garmin or Tom Tom) is so short. I prefer a sat nav and save my phone battery.

I saw it and I wouldn't want it in my car - but as I say its personal preference ......

I've got one of these start up time is seconds. I also use my phone at times. But this Tom Tom is excellent. With traffic warnings etc.

Great bang for you pound. Pretty much flawless AF and VR in Botswana this year and not too heavy or unwieldy.

A constant f5.6 as opposed to the usual f5.6-f6.3 at this range.

Still very good for this focal length. If you're looking at f2.8, or even f4, you'll be looking at spending thousands more.

Was gonna get the Nikon but ended up with Sigma 150-600 lens and can highly recommend it as a cheaper alternative! https://www.jessops.com/p/sigma/150-600mm-f-5-6-3-dg-os-hsm-c-lens-nikon-fit-97482?_td_pid=1&cm_mmc=td-_-affiliate_name-_-advert_id-_-236543

f5.6 :|

Not voting hot or cold - I've been looking at the Key Mission 80 for a while but the reviews and the ltd spec (1m waterproof, built in battery, mediocre video) put me off at £239 - but £99 starts to makes it a bit more interesting. But then what more does it do than a good smartphone ?

Be sure to read reviews before going for this. I did and it put me off!

Diffrent cam from web link, cam from the pic cost £199

pic shows the 360 not the 80. Good deals though.

Just tried to buy this but it says code has expired. Anyone know of any other camera deals? I’m looking at a starter DLSR.

£20 extra for the VR version of the lens is the better deal IMHO.

Nikon D3x00 ranges have options for VR and non-VR bundled lens for a usage/economic reason. If you worry enough about low light and blur, because you do these shots, put the £20 towards a prime 35mm or 50mm prime lens which are bright lenses. You will do yourself much greater favour than spending £20 extra on VR for 18-55mm lens as this is f3.5-F5.6. But if you got shaky hands with up to 55mm Nikon DX format and the bundled lens is what you will ever have (equivalent old school 82mm angle of view on 35mm format) then get the VR lens. You can test how steady your hands are.

Same thoughts,

great camera but again go for a vr lense you want regret it

Offer seems to have expired now.

those that aren't going to buy another lens would generally be better served with a quality compact but you know someone is going to jump in and shout NIFTY FIFTY a few times so i'm sure a prime will be an option before long an occasion in the dark says people to me, shutter speeds suitable for people dont need vr at these focal lengths not everyone wants to lug a tripod about and not everyone wants to pay and extra 20quid they dont need to not sure if this camera does multiframe but i'll assume not as you ignored that - can obviously do in post if needed though

That's great for you then, but not everyone wants to lug a tripod around with them to any occasion taking place in a dimly lit room or after the hours of 8pm. Getting a couple of extra stops of exposure without having to bump your ISO into the range where noise creeps in is a genuinely useful tool in a great many situations, people who already know they're going to use a prime or tripod don't really need to listen to my advice about VR but for the new buyers these entry level DSLRs attract who may never buy another lens or accessory for the whole time they own the camera, the extra couple of notes is a no brainer.

well i'm more a use the right tool for the job kind of guy its easy to handhold that focal length at certain speeds but those speeds aren't any good for any motion if there is no motion then i can use a tripod or multiframe shoot or use a prime or whatever

So I'm guessing "shooting in less than ideal light" has never entered into your shooting habits.

£329 at Argos with same lens £349 with a vr lens.

£359.99 with code

Here it is for £119 Inc del. https://www.hdewcameras.co.uk/nikon-af-s-dx-nikkor-55-200mm-f4-56g-ed-vr-ii-3094-p.asp I bought my d5300 from them at a very good price. They were nice to deal with. They explained the differences between all the Nikon 55-200's

£126.71 right now if you're quick :D

Wa 12 in stock when I posted, but only one left, so you better be quick!

Actually, the OP didn't change anything! When originally posted "GIL Enterprise" was the Amazon market place seller, that had this for £139.60 Subsequently, "OMG Sales" must have dropped their price (without postage) to appear at the top. Nothing to do with the OP, I might add. "GIL Enterprise" still have this for £139.60 if you look down the list of sellers.

Looks like OP has changed seller from OMG Sales to GIL Enterprise... you cannot do this

E-infinity

What is the point in posting "I got XXXX for £XXX" without any further information? :/ Guess what I got a Gold Plated Bugatti Veyron for 50p once.

They have always been good in-store, if you google it though, it seems if they make a mistake with their pricing then they do not honour it. I've purchased from Wex and Amazon before where they have done the same and both have honour their prices, even though they had made a mistake. Really good trade in allowance from Wex also, they will collect your old camera free of charge and if you are not happy with the offer they make then they return it free of charge also.

ok thats a bit crap but doesn't automatically make them worse than wex

Wasn't so much screw up, just bad customer service. Purchased a camera through them as it was a bit cheaper than elsewhere. My order was promptly cancelled, with the excuse that my card didn't meet their security requirements (never had problems anywhere else). They advised that I could order over the phone instead. I rang them up, I was then told the camera I had ordered was out of stock, but they did have another camera I could order instead. This was the exact same camera but with a different stock number but at a higher price. As they wouldn't honour the price they had advertised I went elsewhere. A better company such as Amazon or Wex would have honored their price (can vouch for this, having dealt with them before).
