D700 $2349 at B&H

[rayyeager]

<p>Just checked B&H for D700. It shows $2949 - $300 imstant rebate, but when you you place in your cart, the cost goes to $2349. That's not a bad price. Now I have to fight off the urge to slap it on my credit card. Good luck to me ... Ray. PS: I have nothing to do with B&H.</p>

<p>I picked mine up a few weeks ago. Great camera.</p>

<p>We are in a recession and Economics says lower your inventory and turn it into cash. If you have the money on hand it is the right time to shop and buy. We are going to see some sweet deals with the need for these warehouse sellers and stores needing to get their bottom line in control.</p>

<p>It's called deflation. A mixed blessing... :) ... :(</p>

<p>It's less at Amazon.com - -<br>

$ 2319.00 I want to have a FX camera for some things..... But what I want is the D3x, which I can't afford......<br>

I have a D700 in my cart..... I keep debating....<br>

<p>I'm betting prices will be even lower in January, when people are paying off bills rather than buying.</p>

<p>The current price is indeed enticing more so if you have a good line up of FF lenses. But when you have a number of DX lenses like me, it doesn't stop there.</p>

<p>I bought mine the day after the election for $2519 at B&H with free shipping. I have no regrets, it is an amazing camera, and I can finally use my MF Nikkor primes as they were designed. What a delight.</p>

<p>I've got my eye on one, but it'll be after the Christmas celebration at our house. Hopefully there will be a very good sale right at year end.</p>

<p>Must...not....give....in. Must.....use....money.....to....pay.....mortgage.</p>

[liljuddakalilknyttphotogra]

<p>I for one have a full line of FX lenses - - for me not an issue with DX. But I want the D3x - - must pay mortgage etc etc etc & we've had such a bad year because of the Writer's strike which has just made life miserable for us....</p>

<p>stop it ray. just stop it. you're encouraging NAS.</p>

<p>Don't fret Lil, the D800 might appear at just the right $$ time for you! Mind you, I did not need a second invitation to snap up my D700 at launch at some ridiculously inflated Australian price and like Dave Lee, I have no regrets, it's a corker of a camera and a fine pastime!</p>

[liljuddakalilknyttphotogra]

<p>Matthew,<br>

I keep thinking I could pick one up & see how I like it. I have the lenses for it. A friend tells me the D700x will soon follow & that's probably true..... Yesterday I could have used it in the dark shooting a Reddish Egret.... But since I do mostly birds at this time....... I need reach I keep telling myself....<br>

I have other things I can spend $ 2,319 on - - like a new kitchen..... But I want to see how I'd like it....... But I don't need it..... or do I??????</p>

<p><em>Ooohhh</em>... I feel the pressure too! January seems so far away, still...</p>

[carl_becker2]

<p>Lil, if you pick one up you might not be able to part with it. Be careful and leave the CC at home ;-). I am enjoying mine.</p>

<p>I'll never buy another digital camera in the first 3 to 6 months from Nikon. Maybe its the economy or something but the D300 never dropped anywhere close to that fast. Like the camera but still feeling the pain of an investment loosing its worth by almost 25% in 4 months. I don't own stocks so this sort of thing is new to me. In a year from now it could be free.</p>

<p>Not just that but buying a grip and an extra battery is adding to the initial cost if you consider what B&H is giving away with the camera. But then again I should have been just shooting film a few months longer. I hate to sound negative so don't get me started with how NX 2 is running on a Mac G4. Just make sure you have more than a 733 mhz processor before you buy it. Just having a G4 like Nikon tells you is not enough. Although I should have figured that out with the trial version. Sorry, love Nikon for many reasons but this purchase has been a bit of learning processes. My only problem before now would be my first nikon 6006's shutter stopping after a short time and my f100 grip coming off after 6 years.</p>
