Nikon D850, Too Good to be True
May 20, 2018 22:09:50 #
I have been in the list at B&H and Adorama, just like a lot of other folks. Everyone once in awhile I will search the net, and guess what I found today. 3 places, had in stock, Nikon D850.
42ndstreet photo, which we all know is not the most honest place.
abesinmaine, which again is not the best in the world
And then I ran across this place, had never heard of it Dealsoftheyear. https://dealsallyear.com/nikon-d850-dslr-camera-body.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwuYTYBRDsARIsAJnrUXCeJBZ0_1r9_6d70Tj1LlQ8q7vSZgdCjVd-OPiZFazqfGBdsx6LBa8aAv1JEALw_wcB
Now all 3 places have the D850 in stock, imagine my surprise, since the top places are all on back order.
Now of course, the old if its too good to be true, it most likely isn't. All 3 have the import model. You have to dig a bit to find that. 1 year warranty, 30 days parts, by seller.
Wish Nikon would kick it into overdrive.
"waiting on the D850 in Olympia" ...lol

I walked into Samys Camera in Los Angeles in January and left with a D850. They are not that hard to find anymore.

Got on the list with B&H early April. Adoram, I think mid April
They are both closed until Tuesday, but you should be showing us your D850 images very soon.

Yes they are. I need to order a new battery grip for my D500, it stopped working on Friday. It went through a swim in the Pacific Ocean back in January. Along with my D500, nice to have insurance. I went swimming in about 3 feet of water...but got a couple of really epic wave shots.

Oh I know that. No way would I purchase a grey market camera or lens...

Apparently Nikon is playing some kind of game with its U.S. customers. Outside the U.S., the D850 is readily available... so much so, overstock is exported to the U.S. market and sold as grey market product. I suspect this artificial scarcity of the D850 on the U.S. market is Nikon's strategy to keep demand and price high.

Curious as to how you have come to this conclusion. I am not saying you are incorrect, just asking where you get your information.

Hang in there, BigG. I think you will find that it is worth the wait.
