I payed $2300 for my D750..Then soon after went to $2000..Now this. SMHGosh darn it! If I would have just waited a few more months ,I could have had it for a 100 dollars less.:loyal:
Even the D810 price is reduced.
Now there are two reasons for waiting before buying
1. Wait for all the design/manufacturing errors/glitches to be solved
2. Wait for the price to reduce, by at least 20%
In my case the camera purchases are medium term investment and I have no need for the latest. So waiting for the price to come down within a year makes sense. That all the faults and glitches will be ironed out in mean time is the icing.
By the way D610 is going for around USD 1300 vs USD 1750 official price in India

Those prices sound about right. Such is the allure of grey market kit, mon ami!Thank you, they also have the D810 for $2,195 free shipping, which is $600 cheaper than others, and only $200 more than a used D810 (40k actuations) at a local shop I like.
The catch is Nikon won't do any warranty work on it, or even fee-based repairs.In short, yes. It's grey market... Not that there's anything wrong with that; I buy grey market kit pretty frequently.

Yup. That's why, in the past, I've bought a third-party warranty that's actually worth having. One that covers things like "impact damage" (Nikon's Get Out of Jail Free card that amounts to sticking you with the bill for your "still under warranty" gear), spills and just about everything else you can think of. They have a five-day turn-around and they pay the shipping, both ways. Nikon's "warranty" is a joke in my experience and I probably have more experience in that arena than most.The catch is Nikon won't do any warranty work on it, or even fee-based repairs.

My local shop assures me if anything goes wrong with my D750, they've got me covered.
