Nikon started new rebates in Europe for the month of May, where you can get up to € 1,000 off (the current Nikon USA rebates can be found here; check also the Nikon savings in Canada):

I have been reporting for a while rumors about a new small Nikon full-frame mirrorless camera without a viewfinder, designed for photography:
There is a new twist to this rumor: it could be a new Nikon compact full-frame fixed-lens camera based on the Nikon ZR. Here are the rumored details:
This could be Nikon’s response to the canceled Nikon DL line and to the recent increased interest in cameras like the Fuji X100 (still out of stock!), Ricoh GR (also out of stock), and the Leica Q (latest model was priced at $8,000).

Opinion: a new compact fixed-lens camera from Nikon would be a nice surprise
The compact fixed-lens cameras segment is currently exploding, and as usual, Nikon is again late to the game:
Nikon Hong Kong announced that they will begin charging a substantial “administration fee” for the repair and maintenance of grey market (parallel import) products. According to their official notice, this fee can be up to HK$5,000 (approximately £500/$640 USD).

This appears to be a very aggressive move against the grey market. It naturally raises the question: is this an isolated local policy, or could this be a testing ground for similar strategies by Nikon in Europe and the Americas?

This is the current warning on the Nikon USA website regarding grey market gear:
