Call Cameta Camera. I have made several camera purchases from them including Nikon factory refurbs. They will create a "bundle" to your specs and then price it competitively. They have never let me down, even replacing a camera that had nothing wrong with it after they hit the reset button.
Talk to Enzo and tell him I recommended him and that I said he'll give you the best deal. He has been the most honest salesman I've dealt with in years, but their other staff have been good with me also.
Never heard of Base Wireless.

Contact Nikon and see if they will tell you if Base Wireless is an authorized dealer. You might want to stay away from grey market equipment unless you want to roll the dice and not get the Nikon warranty.

Thanks. The responses I've received pretty much reflect what I had already suspected. I told my brother I would suggest not going with it and I sent him links to "B&H", "Adorama" and "Cameta". I recommended that he look on their sites to see what he could find. He did tell me later last night in an email that he had pieced together the D7200 and lenses he wanted at one of the stores I suggested but I don't remember which it was right now.
Thanks to you and to all others that have responded. My brother will be all set soon and now knows which sites he should use when he wants to order anything else for his photography.

I have seen reports that the "ZeeTech" bundles are grey market, and that in the case of Nikon cameras they are not US warranty and will not be repaired by Nikon at all, under warranty or not. This would be consistent with the price, which is several hundred dollars less than US warranteed goods.

James, I'm just curious, has your brother considered a Pentax K-3II from B&H they have it with a free battery grip and bundled with a DA 55-300 its around $1146. If he has Pentax DSLR now then the Lens he has will work with the K-3II, all K mount lens will fit all Pentax APS-C DSLRs and the plus is he will be buying a new camera from a reputable dealer.

I imagine he did look at Pentax. The old digital one he has now is a "Pentax ist D" 6 megapixel and I think it has a "K" mount if I remember correctly. H e has always like it and has taken many really good shots with it all over. He had been looking at Pentax, Canon and Nikon then decided on Nikon after comparing the models he was interested in.
