This will be replaced with a review when it arrives, but I figured I’d share my little bit of joy after searching out a good deal for quite a while.

I used a combination of eBay’s 10% off (up to $100) coupon and Microsoft Live’s Cashback (I got 20%, for the max amount of $250) on a brand new in box Nikon D300, listed at $1500.

With the 10% coupon, I was down to $1400, which was the price I paid out the door. However, I also got the max cashback ($250) bringing my price paid down to $1150. I’ve never seen a deal like that for a brand new D300, this is almost as low as the Canon 40d! I couldn’t resist. Earlier that day, I actually missed a far better deal, $1075 for a brand new in box D300 WITH the MB-D10 battery grip. You win some, you lose some.

If you’ve been looking to get a camera but are waiting out a good deal, this is the time to do it. With the cashback and coupon going on now (which is stackable), you can get $350 off pretty much anything over $1000.
