Refurbished Nikon Coolpix A $329.00 shipped

[shadowlands]

B&H has the Nikon DF-CP1 for $99.00 right now!!! Only for a limited time, however.
I just ordered one. Just letting y'all know.... it use to be several hundred.

Shot some family outing stuff at a restaurant with odd lighting last night. Shot RAW.
Adjusted the white balance, and bam... perfecto!!! I still find it impressive to have a D7000-D7100 type of camera in a point and shoot body.

I have to stop reading these threads .. might make me spend more money on camera stuff instead of other things, like food

I know, right?! I told myself I didn't want the stupid $300.00 ViewFinder.
But when the $99.00 popped up, I ordered it.
If my wife knew, she'd slap me silly.

What a deal. Thinking really hard on this one.

What a deal. Thinking really hard on this one.

Sorry, I left that off... B&H, it was $300.00 plus, most places... and $199.00 at B&H last week. Today, it's $99.00, but I think it's only for a short time.

Tempted. Seems so awkward looking on top, and it doesn't have electronic communication with the body, but still tempted with the price drop.

Folks... it's at B&H. But you only have just over five hours to order one, at this price!!!
It's 9:21 central time, and it ends in 5.5 hours.... 2:50ish Central, I think....

Agreed, I wasn't planning on getting one at $200-$300, but with this 6 hour deal at $99.00, I jumped.
Darn thing once was over $400.00. Good things come to those who wait.

and the temptation is quickly fleeted .. looks like I'll be upgrading my Sigma 150-500 to a Tamron 150-600 instead.

Only one hour left on this deal for $99.00.
Did any of you order one?

Side note. I uploaded the new firmware yesterday.

The latest firmware makes some really important fixes. The focus in AF is dropped to 1 foot.
Just ordered the Nikon viewfinder. Be here Friday from B&H

My DF-CP1 came today. Love it! So glad I grabbed it at $99.00. For that price, it's awesome!!!
If it was $300, I'd return it. But at $99 it's a keeper. Doesn't make the form factor of the small Coolpix A much bigger.
Excellent!!!

Looking at this adaptor to allow CPL. Any thoughts.
