The latest rumors suggest that Nikon USA will introduce a new $100 instant saving for the D7100 kit (with 18-105mm lens) starting on March 14th 2013, which is also the camera’s shipping date. Currently the D7100 kit is listed online for $1,596.95. The price of the D7100 body only will remain the same ($1,196.95). This is not the first time for Nikon to announce a discount the day a new product starts shipping – similar was the case with the Nikon 1 V2 last year. On a related note, check out the new Nikon D7100 article by Moose Peterson – he seems to be the only person who had the camera before the official announcement.
