Update: the rebate program will end on March 27th, 2010. The Nikon 70-300mm lens is also included with a $200.00 instant rebate.
On February 28th, 2010 Nikon will start a nice instant rebate program on the following lenses: Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8, Nikon 18-200mm VRII and the 24-120mm.
There will be some other instant rebates for p&s Camera as well.
I assume that there will be a list of compatible SLR for that offer (I don’t think those rebates will be valid for the D3000 for example).
Enjoy!
