Does anyone know if Amazon plans on selling the D3300 "Body Only"? I only use primes so the kit lens is just a waste of $$$ for me.

They are selling body only on Amazon UK, but the body only costs more than the camera with lens on Amazon.com USA. Hardly a bargain. Plus you would have to pay for shipping. The website NikonUSA only shows the camera as coming with the kit lens. I'm in the same situation--have no interest in this lens. So I guess now the decision is, should I buy the kit and then go through the hassle of selling the lens.

I don't believe Nikon is planning on offering it body-only. But, you should have no problem selling the included lens, as its a new design.

Nikon does not sell the body only on these entry level DSLRs in the United States. If you see this camera "body only" it will be a grey market camera and does not have the US warranty.

The lens is great for flowers and insects but I am not familiar with the D3300 (I use mine on a D7100.) But if you go to the Nikon USA page and find the lens you will see that it has a compatibility chart for what bodies it works with.

I haven't done any research on the compatibility with the d3300, that said, the lens is a great lens for the price. You may have to use the lens in manual mode.

We all realize this item is backordered now... My issue is that it seems like amazon didn't receive ANY 5DmkII bodies.I also have a pre-order (Sept. 18) and have heard nothing, if they could just let me know that they didn't have enough to get to me in the first batch and they are waiting for more cameras that'd be great. I just want some kind of confirmation.

Because Amazon is changing.... It used to be my default online store to buy stuff, even they are a little more expensive occasionally. Now they started charging 8% sales tax in CA. That's a deal breaker when I'm buying the D600+24-70mm lens because I'd have to pay $300 for tax. I bought from B&H;, no tax no shipping.

This item was originally a camera "kit," which included the camera body, a lens, battery charger, etc. But the seller has removed the lens to sell separately, leaving everything else. There is NO LENS with this camera... even though it shows one on the box. It is camera body only, and will only work if you have your own lens. Worked well for me because I already had a lens and didn't want to be paying more for another one.

if money is no object , buy the d5300 , i had the d3200 and it was a great camera you can routinely make really nice 20-30 size pictures ,specially with the prime lenses like the 50mm 1.8g , i bought the d3300 because the new sensor is scarper and the new lens is really much more portable and last but not least the included lightroom 5 software was in a refubrished package deal, between the 5200 or the 3300 the 5200 with its swiveling screen might be more camera to grow into , how ever if you only are doing basic photograhy the the d3300 or d3200 are more then enough for any photografer

Thanks very much for your advice.Any recommendations for a fast 50 or 30 mm prime lens?

no, it's the body only. You have to buy your own lenses. Unless you find one sold as a kit with a lens. The one listed @ $6799 is body only.

what's about the D3000 vs D3100. Currently amazon has a package deal for the D3000, case and other stuff??

I'd double check the sellers laying as they can be sold "body only". The seller I bought from several years ago was selling the package that includes the Sony kit lens (18-55mm f/3.5-5.6)

I don't have a D3300 to try, but the number of contacts should be the same for all Nikon DSLR models and lenses with CPU. The tubes work nicely with both a Nikon AF 50mm f/1.8 D lens (with aperture ring), and a Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8 G (without aperture ring). As for all "D" lenses, the aperture ring needs to be locked at the smallest aperture for the aperture to be controlled by the camera.

Thanks !, Old amazonian, and Nikon fan...appreciate the input. Haven't made the choice yet, and will sweat out amazon on the LX3.And then I found out that my sister is going to AC this weekend and can wrangle a "Nikon SLR" out of Tropicana- they're desperate for repeat business- so I'll play with that for a while. Must be a D40.Happy New Year!

I bought mine used and the seller I got it from had the body only but it was like new. And for the kit lens, as I've stated, I didn't get mine with the kit lens but I will say I use the nex f3 with an la-ea2 adapter with Sony dt 35mm f1.8 Sam lens. It works beautifully for beginners. But I am an enthusiast and hobbyist photographer and I will get a semi pro or pro level dslt camera from Sony in future. You can visit my Facebook page to see my photos all shot with it. http://m.facebook.com/pages/KTan-Photography/144023702417316?id=144023702417316&refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch&_rdr

I joined Club Panasonic when I purchased one of my Panasonic cameras. I got an e-mail from them yesterday offering the DMC-G2K Body Only for $350. They had 3 other options: a G2K with an H_FS014045 14-45 lens for $600 and a G2K with either the 20mm or 14mm "pancake' lens for $650. This offer was directly from Panasonic for Club Panasonic users.

I was just at the store today looking at the TM90 and the Canon M41, hard to choose between the two! Johnny, do you miss having a viewfinder? And, the green tint scares me...I've read that in a lot of reviews.

Wow, that's a lot of information to digest! I can tell you really enjoy photography though-thanks for the help! I must have read your latest post like five times!Since I'm still I beginner, I have no idea how to operate the camera in A or M mode so I guess I'll leave the purchase of a prime lens for later on.~ Dan
