D7000 price predictions

[cgw144 169]

Here in Kingston, Ontario at Henrys there currently priced for a body new $829.99 at Henrys. Don't see much lower than that, most likely will bump up again before it drops to say around $799. Only a guess on my part. Mind you a D90 is $629.99 remember where that was priced when it first came out, still a very nice upgrade for most hobby photographers.

I suspect Canadian prices will probably trend down to holiday discount levels beginning next month or early April after the D7100 lands. D7000 bodies were already down to around C$740 in January. A good place for Canadians to track price movements is: photoprice.ca They do an OK job but can be a little slow with updates. The DV Shop in Toronto has D7000 bodies for C$850 with free copy of LR4(C$150)thrown in. More competitive stores in Toronto like Aden, Downtown, Merkle and the Montreal shops like Simon and Lozeau usually undersell Henry's and Vistek. Keep in mind that BestBuy's price match policy can be played to get 10% of the difference between their price and the lowest price cut from the lowest price, which can sweeten things further. Be patient, stay awake, and wait if necessary for another month/6 weeks. No need to buy an iffy warranty refurb or gray market.

By the end of this summer low shutter count D7000's could be regularly selling for $400 or less.

Pricing in a free market economy tracks supply and demand.

When there is more supply than demand - prices are low.
When there is more demand than there is supply - prices are high.

At some point the supply of new D7000's will diminish and if demand is high when the supply diminishes, prices will go up, not down.

In the case of used camera gear, the condition of individual pieces of gear also affect price. Look at the spread of pricing of used gear at KEH.com based on condition.

If the D90 provides any clues, Nikon may drag out D7000 discontinuation way beyond the D7100 roll-out but offer discounts just to clear inventory. Given their recently-published financial reporting, they need to sell cameras--lots of cameras and lenses.

I found these listings just now:

Used body only: 489, 544, 554, 564
Used body and kit 18-105: 539 (lower than would be expected with lens)

Average of second hand is about $700. As more D7000 owners upgrade to full frame or to D7100 prices for used D7000 should drop. There are a lot D7000's out there, more than a few will surface on the used market.

WOW.....I guess I'm looking in the wrong places,although I did kind of figure 700 to be on the lower side of average.

Prices rose a bit March 1 in Canada, back up to 820-850. Suspect this will be about the highest they'll go before the D7100 lands. After that? All depends on the D7100's reception.

Nikon stock has been tanking for the past month.

The only thing dropping faster is Apple stock :lmao:

Remember the big Nikon lens price drop last month? That wasn't Nikon being kind, it was to raise capital.
I wouldn't be a early adapter to the D7100, expect prices to drop further as long as their stock keeps losing value.

Thought we were talking "new?" Wonder how many clicks? See quite a few that have been very busy for 1-2 year-old cameras--25k-50K actuations.
