Looking to get a new Nikon camera -preferably a D700. What is a mystery is that across Europe there are freebies such as flashguns, grips etc. In the US there are lens deals/bundles. Why nothing in the UK?

Probably because you are not registered with Nikon as a pro-user. I received an email as did many other people on this site informing them if they purchased a D300s between mid November and mid January, you would receive a free SB900 flash by sending the personalised voucher from the email along with a copy of the receipt.

Free flash worth £320 turned up in late Jan :thumbs:
 
Mine came bundled with 24-120 vr, at jessops for £1995 nearly a year ago.
I know its much maligned, but I think its ok, plus if you have no other Nikon lenses at least you can fire away straight away!
To be honest I think its a good lens, Ive had some cracking results with it.
It cost £599 when I bought mine, so all in all it was a good deal, well happy here.

I bought my D700 second hand from Mifsuds and have had no problems whatsoever. Given, there is a potential warranty issue but as I have never had to return a Nikon body I am not too worried about that and I saved myself £300. Given how quickly digital bodies depreciate I don't mind going second hand and saving money to spend on lenses.
 
I've noticed that there doesn't seem to camera + lens kit deals on the D300s atm. :eek: Everyone seems to be doing 'body only'. :(
 
It's called Rip Off Britain. :)

Nikon battery from the US delivered to my door? £35.
Nikon battery from Uk stockist which I have to do a 20 mile trip to collect £66

Wonder where I bought mine? :)
I also bought all my camera gear (£8.5K of it) outside the Uk for the same reason.

Just my thought on reading the first post :(
We pay the most because they know we'll pay it, i'd love it if we ALL shopped abroad for everything small size through the net and is one reason i'm buying a lens through Onestopdigital (hongkong)
