Wow, hard to believe the Zf could get any cheaper than when I got it for 1400 a few weeks ago. I wonder if promo codes can bring it down further.
I don’t think you can buy a better camera at that price even on the used market. If you can apply coupons even better.
The Z7 II is $1200, which is listed below their Z6 II sale price of $1252. Crazy price. Surprised the Zf got a $100 reduction so soon after the last sale.
Also good prices on 100-400, 14-24, 180-600. Tempted by the latter but spoiled from the extra 20% off from last time. If that coupon was still active I may have been the owner of a new (to me) Z8 and 180-600

The prices on some of these items always baffles me, though, especially the F mount stuff. The real head scratcher is the Z7 still at $1700+ when the Z7ii is under $1200.

Do they provide information on how many hours the cameras worked? or (at least) how many actuations?
They don't; it's a bit of a crapshoot. The two times I've bought refurb cameras, they both arrived unused. Others have had some miles on theirs, but I've never heard of anything more than around 15k at most. I think probably most of these are just returns that they can't resell as new. I would be shocked if many of these are products that were defective and repaired, but I guess it's possible. The return rate on online purchases is around 20%, which if you think about it results in a crazy high amount of open box stock for any online retailer, including Nikon. The frequency of refurb sales and the volume of items available certainly suggests that most of these are returns.

In Italy, the Nikon refurb sales with an additional applied discount ended on the 20th. They indicate two "grades". Grade A means that the items are official refurbished products with minor cosmetic imperfections on the external parts of the article; accessories may have cosmetic imperfections; Grade B implies that the items are official refurbished products with medium cosmetic imperfections on the external parts of the article. The accessories may show cosmetic damage.
Both A and B goods come with their original packaging which may be damaged.
No additional information; no picture of camera/lens, etc.

Zf body-only sold out pretty fast. Not surprised, that was a great buy while it lasted. Tempted to pick up another Z7II, though - geesh, amazing IQ for $1200.

Man, I wish I was still in the US and I would have pulled the trigger on that Zf today. Sucks that these things are seldomly offered in Europe (where prices are higher to begin with, incl VAT of 20-25%)
