[QUOTE="pnomanikon, post: 651945, member: 43342"] When I bought my D7200 back in February, I went to the local "Nikon Authorized" dealer as I wanted to buy local. When I went in, they had only a couple of "new " cameras (already 1 or 2 model updates behind), and nothing even close to the D7200. In fact, the person at the counter was not even familiar with the D7200 and had to look it up. I think the D3100 was the highest camera they had. They could order the D7200, but it might take a month to come in. And, they don't do maintenance or repairs on site. They ship them out and I pay postage. Odd that this is the "Nikon Authorized" dealer in a university town of 30K residents and 30K students. The closest option to buy at "Nikon Authorized Dealer" brick and mortar was 2 hours north to Pittsburgh PA. Hmmmmm...... Bought online at Adorama. [/QUOTE]
