New $500 price drop: the Nikon D850 is now $2,500

By [NR] admin | Published: October 29, 2020



The price of the Nikon D850 DSLR camera in the US just dropped by $500 – this is the lowest D850 price ever since the camera was announced in July 2017:


This discount will end on November 1st at 11:59 pm EST.

This price drop makes perfect sense since I already reported that the D850 replacement is rumored for early 2021.

Note: The current Nikon rebates on Nikkor Z-mount and F-mount lenses are set to expire this weekend.

By [NR] admin | Published: October 28, 2020
