Nikon D3200

MillieMoo23 · 29 Oct 14, 06:30 PM

I am interested in buying a Nikon D3200 DSLR Camera, and I am going to Florida in May 2015 - would it be cheaper to buy in America, or buy now in the UK? Jessops have an offer for a Nikon D3200 + 18-55mm VR II Lens + Tamron 70-300mm Lens for �369. I don't need the camera immediately, but wonder whether they will be much cheaper in America?
Thanks

I went through this a few months back with the D5300.
I decided to buy from a reputable Nikon UK authorised dealer. If you are getting into photography or have issues with equipment, you want to have someone you can go back to.
The other big thing is you want to practice loads with the new camera before you go so you can get the best from the camera when you go. I took thousands of photos in the few weeks before I needed to use it in anger.
I only wanted a single lens so went for the 18-200, VR zoom. Changing lenses regularly lets dust in so I wanted to minimise this. That lens is stunning.

Agree totally with tspill,and the Nikon 18-200, VR zoom is a great lense.

Don't forget all the US prices are plus tax.

Yes true 7% or around there I think.

It is a good camera. I would also advise you look at the prices on DigitalRev and One Stop Digital. These ship from Hong Kong and do really good prices. They are highly recommended and if you look on any photo forums or look for reviews you will find many, many happy customers. They also pay any import duties too.

The 3200 has now been replaced with the 3300, although as new it will have a slight premium. Any Nikon or Canon camera will be great. Just make sure you weigh up if you actually save before buying in USA.

Plus import duty if over �390.

You won't pay import on it with it slung over your shoulder when you arrive in the uk.
