I do not search the net for finding the shop that can provide me with the cheapest camera or lens as I always buy in the same shop a half hour drive from my place.
As a valued customer I get discounts, even without asking, if the margin allows for it but when I bought my D500 the shop owner simply could not give me a discount as the margins are currently also very low and thus paid the full price of €2.299.
I didn't moan or bitch about it and bought the thing. Now I can take this camera with me on my upcoming safari next month July

Every time that I have used the price of something to determine the purchase it's backfired on me. There is comfort paying the market price from a reputable dealer. Less hassles and the assurance that if it's not right out of the box and you need/want to return it there are no hassles. That is worth the small amount that one would save on a high demand item. At least for me it is.

I'm generally a huge deal hunter. If any holiday sales replicate from 2015, Amazon was offering 10 or 15% off all warehouse deals, combined with 10% cashback from my chase freedom card last cyber monday. There were $1300ish sigma 150-600mm sports to be had. While they were "used/returns", you at least had the benefit of a return if there was an issue with the product or buyers remorse.

and while you wait for the "deal of the century" and you "need" it by XXXXXX date you ability to familiarize and get used to using it decreases and you innate ability to complain about each cameras perceived faults grows.

I didn't miss that. I plan to get the camera 2 months before the next big trip. Being familiar with Nikon for more than 10 years, I think 2 months would be enough including the eventuality of returning for another copy.

My D500 arrived just over an hour ago. Nearly 9PM. So much for UPS and "end of day" It is getting to be by late night

B&H has it at the new price as well (link). IMO the 16-80mm was grossly overpriced - this new kit price is much more reasonable.

Don't wet yourself....the body's still $1996, you're having to buy
an overpriced lens that's been brought back down to earth.

This is just like the 'deals' on kits with the 24-120vr used to be...The lens takes a huge hit in the resale market, and the in demand body doesn't really change in value much...for now.

I saw the discounted kit with the 16-80 at B&H - in stock, no less - and considered it. I enjoyed the 18-70 for years, so maybe the 16-80 would be a decent grab-n-go lens. Then I realized my camera budget didn't have $2600 in it and I stopped considering it. Too bad - I would love that camera. The D300 was my most used camera for a lot of years, and this would be the perfect replacement for it!

Guess I'll still be waiting for a while for this one. Considering I upgraded to the D7100 and D810 in the past year or so - courtesy of an insurance settlement on stolen film gear - I can't complain. Well, I guess I could, but I'd still be shooting a D7100 and D810!

if anyone who is only looking for the body and wants to save $250, let me know as I am only looking for the lens we can go in together for the kit and split the $500 savings
