NikonUSA has a few instant rebates in effect this month that should appeal to DSLR users:

  • D780 (US$2000) — This camera doesn’t get discounted all that often, and US$300 off is significant. It’s a solid workhorse camera with few downsides, and built to last you a long time.
  • D850 (US$2500) — Likewise, a US$500 discount on the D850 is very significant. To this day, the D850 is one of the best all-around cameras you can buy, despite what all the mirrorless full-frame advocates say. If you’re committed to DSLR and don’t have one of the best-ever-made efforts in your gear arsenal, you need to contemplate adding a D850 while it’s still being made.
  • 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR (US$1900) — Arguably the best DSLR 70-200mm lens ever made. A US$450 discount is big news. 
  • 200-500mm f/5.6E VR (US$1060) — Oh come on, a US$340 discount (24%+) on a lens that was already a bargain for its ability? Did someone press the wrong keys on their keyboard in Melville? Seriously, there isn’t another long telephoto zoom that comes close to matching this lens at this price. 

Plenty of other Nikon DSLR products are on sale this month, but the ones I listed above are the ones that really stood out to me as excellent products at excellent prices. The links are to my reviews.
