Ok Canon... your turn. Would love a steep discount on the new 6D.
I see the kit with body only for that price but not the one with the lens. If this is right then I just got jipped a lens because I got the kit without the lens a couple of weeks ago.
Chuck, if you got it from B&H or Adorama you can call them within 30 days of the purchase date and ask them to remedy the situation.. I have done that before a few times and they always helped me out. I am sure you can get that lens at no cost..
The D800e page at B&H isn't showing the -$200 discount.
That's odd. I was assured it was included. I'll take it off until I can get that resolved.
It's showing now.
i don't know if i should hug you guys or kick you in the nuts. But I ordered the D600 kit, upgrading from the D80
meh..call me when the D710 drops.. ;)
Clicking on the link above I don't see the 24-85 lens in the kit either (??)
That's only on the D600. Is that what you clicked on?
It's less like a sale and more like a bunch of freebies thrown in. The body alone is not on sale :( Great deal nonetheless if you want all of that free stuff.
Actually the body itself is on sale for $200, but it's the exact same price as the D600 with all the freebies. So if you're gonna get it, get it with a bunch of free stuff.
That's the thing. I don't really care for the freebies. I'd prefer the $700 off the price of the body. I know, I'm a greedy dreamer ;)
They're giving you a free $500 lens with D600. It's like you're getting $500 bones off the price of the camera, especially if you hock it! It's a killer promo. Very tempting.
It's to distract you from the D600 dust problem...
Cant order on BandH until 545pm Saturday!!?? really !!
Tons of other sites have a similar deal going too. Like Adorama, Pictureline, and others.
Buying it like this, the D600 lives up to it's original rumored price ~$1500. Unfortunately the lens is total crap, but if you can deal with it than this would truly be that $1500 FX Nikon everybody was waiting for. Nikon just put the screws on Canon as well. ;-)
Still not biting on the D600 until they at least address the dust issue.
Anybody else sitting next to their computer waiting for B&H to reopen their online ordering? Adorama does have a similar deal, without the monopod and a Transcend card instead of a SanDisk. I'll take B&H. They also have the package without the monopod and the lens, for the exact same price which is strange. I wish they had this package without the lens cheaper because its going on Ebay as soon as it arrives.
