Final drop to £195 with postage to UK (not RMSD but likely CollectPlus) - 8GB card 3rd party spare battery.

No one tempted by a great camera?

OH uses Canon, she has a 5D2 and 7D2, plus a lot of L glass. She does take some excellent pics but I dislike the cameras intensely, a lot of things are menu based and very fiddly. All her gear has been reliable, but she's never been an 'early adopter', and will wait for 5D4 when prices come down and any bugs ironed out

I'm another glad to see George rise from the depths...

Nikon doesn't seem to be the only Japanese/Asian conglomerate struggling, to be honest a lot of Nikon users don't have same brand snobbery as users of other brands. I have used Nikon since 2010 but kept faith with Pentax as I enjoy using my 'K's a lot more...The D3 has now made way for the K-1 (and probably a D810 too), but some of their products have been less than stellar...The D600/D610/D750 will always be blighted for oilgate - the D750 only exists to try to banish any relationship to the D600 series but I guess it was planned to be the D620.... The D7*00 was always playing 2nd or 3rd fiddle to EOS and K - however good the flash and AF was, a camera that has a frame rate of 5-6FPS is totally useless if the buffer fills within a second. The D500 has answered a lot of people's prayers though. But their SLRs are a diminishing market, all makers have varied success in trying to diversify (Canon more successfully ) . We need a good, healthy Nikon, otherwise I think Ricoh/Pentax will be squeezed out further by Canon and Sony.

Still for sale - will the inclusion of spare (3rd party) battery and a free 8GB SD (CLass 10) tempt anyone?
