[QUOTE="Chris E, post: 512740, member: 26147"] I know what the definition of refurbished is.:cool: And, I doubt this is all that is happening, there's too many and this has been going on too long. And, why are they cheaper than the D5xxx refurbs? I just read on that other thread that mikew said exactly what I am thinking....Nikon is supplying new D7100 cameras labelled 'refurbished' to clean out their inventory. They put a few clicks on it and off they go. And, they are still making a profit. That would make dealers mad, no? That they can produce and profit on this camera for about 2/3 less than the retail price they are forced to respect? Along with consumers like me that had to purchase the camera for $1100 2 years ago in a rigged capitalistic system, where competition between dealers was not allowed? [/QUOTE]
