Hand Picked Deals

Until July 6, Amazon is offering a $100 instant discount when you buy a qualifying Nikon DSLR camera with an additional qualifying lens.
Click here for the promo details at Amazon.com.

In addition to the savings, Amazon offers Free Super Saver Shipping and for most states there is no sales tax (the only exceptions are KS, KY, ND, NY and WA). Together, it all adds up to an excellent deal.

Here are some of the combos available, at the current prices:

Nikon D40 w/ 18-55mm kit + 55-200mm lens
= $467.04 + $149.09 - $100 discount = $516.13

Nikon D60 w/ 18-55mm kit + 55-200mm lens
= $659.99 + $149.09 - $100 discount = $709.08

Nikon D60 w/ 18-55mm kit + 55-200mm VR lens * (see note below)
= $659.99 + $211.66 - $100 discount = $771.65

Nikon D80 - currently out of stock

* - Just a note about the Nikon 55-200mm VR Lens… Its availability is currently listed as “Usually ships in 1 to 3 months”, but that’s generally a worst case scenario. Amazon’s stock is refilled quite regularly, so there’s a good chance you’d get it quite a bit sooner than that. You can order the combo now and request the camera to be shipped separately from the lens, so that you at least get the camera quickly. And the $100 instant discount applies even if the items are shipped separately, so you would still get the savings.
