Nikon d3200 w 18-55mm Lens €270 in Argos (€245 with Nikon Cashback)

djburchgrove · 25-11-2014 10:47am #1

Considering this was €400 at the time the deal was in Argos for the d3300 at €405, I think this is a great price.

Great beginner camera kit at a great price, at the right time of year!

about 2 years ago i got the D3100, awesome little piece of kit and excellent for any one who wants to get their foot in at trying photography, definitely worth the price!!!

The lense with it looks to be the basic non Vr(anti shake) same as what I got with mine but its an awesome buy!!!

You logon to the Nikon website, fill out an online form. They ask you to upload electronic copies of the original receipt (proof of purchase) and the warranty card filled out (has your serial number on it). You wait 10 days and they send you €25 on a Visa Debit card.

I paid €390 for this about 2 weeks ago...gutted.

Slipshaney · 25-11-2014 11:34am

You happy with the actual camera?

Buy it again and return it with the old receipt within the 28days from the first purchases - you'll get it at the new price then!

Kop Idol · 25-11-2014 11:46am

It was a gift for herself and she's more than delighted with it. I didn't know a lot about photography but I originally picked it out based on a lot of reading up and great reviews/recommendations I'd seen online for it so I know its a pretty decent bit of kit. Also bottom line, its a Nikon so you have all the back up and support of a well known brand and AFAIK can upgrade the lens as you wish since it has standard Nikon fittings.

Lenny · 25-11-2014 11:51am

I think electronics are excluded from their 28 day return,
When I clicked the ops link, and tried to reserve it ws giving an error(doing it on my phone)
Then when I view it on the athos on the computer, via searching for it it would should the price as 269 but when I click on it, it then jumps to 389... Takes a few clicks to get it at the 269...

The only thing to note with lenses is that they have to have their own autofocus motor, as the D3XXX and D5XXX series cameras don't have motors in the body.
No big deal, loads of lenses available.

Reserved one using PC, higher price using phone!!

TheDriver · 25-11-2014 12:52pm

reserved it no problem at that price. Although I would recommend the 1200d due to lens compatability but at this price.........

Kenno90 · 25-11-2014 1:07pm

smackyB · 25-11-2014 1:12pm

Anyone reserved one in Dublin who's not going to use it? I'll take it off you!

Can you order from one store to another with Argos?

Technoprisoner · 25-11-2014 2:22pm

any spare reservations in dublin?

SONIC2008 · 25-11-2014 2:23pm

I paid a good bit more than this last year for this camera. I would definitely recommend this camera for beginner photographers. I absolutely love it!

Bencil Dornay · 25-11-2014 2:30pm

As a complete Newbie what does a VR lens give you over a non VR Lens ?

was looking at an EOS 1200D before i saw this but now i'm even more confused...too much choices.

bigpink · 25-11-2014 2:35pm

Seems to be sold out now

Vibration reduction. It'll compensate for very small movements of the camera and allow you to take photos at a slower shutter speed without blurring. You'd have to be very slow (under 1/50th of a second) to see the benefits of it at 18-55mm.

Bencil Dornay · 25-11-2014 2:43pm

That's what i was thinking Kenny. thanks for the reply

Lenny · 25-11-2014 3:01pm

Few people obviously bought them for adverts... , or plan on getting their reservations when someone buys it.
Haven't picked up mine but dono if the camera not having it own motor will be a big problem getting other lenses?

ActingDanClark · 25-11-2014 3:12pm

The lens is non vr not the camera

I know the lens is not vr, didn't someone say above that the d3200 model camera doesn't have a built in motor so choices are limited on lenses as ya have to with one that has a built in motor for the auto focus?

Only if you want to buy some older lenses. Most have motors these days, but may be a little more expensive.

CJmasgrande · 25-11-2014 3:36pm

I preordered 2 of the Nikon cameras in Tullamore but I only meant to order one.

Not sure what. Can do as there is only one reservation code for the accidental double order

At least Argos will re advertise the spare one after the collection time deadline expires.
