I want to buy a Nikon d3200 this week, as we go away soon. The best I can see it at is John Lewis at £279.95. I don't want to risk a grey item or used, but can this price be beaten?

    I would opt for John Lewis for the extra years guarantee and if you can find it cheaper elsewhere they should price match it for you but check the t&c's

  • That sounds like a good deal. I paid £299.95 for mine.
  • I first saw it before Christmas and wish I'd got it then as the Nikon £20 cashback is no longer available. I was expecting it to have dropped in price by now.

    Just a note.
    Get a screen protector for the LCD screen and a UV(C)lens filter.

    John Lewis is a good place to buy from for piece of mind and the
    extra warranty.

    Hi, did you buy this camera in the end? If so just wondering what you thought of it? I see it's for sale for £229 at Jessops at the moment and definitely tempted. Reviews look good too. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

    Yes, I did buy the camera and am very happy with it. I haven't spent enough time playing with the settings, but the auto setting has given good results so far. Gutted it's been reduced though!

    I've just looked on Jessops, but can only see 'body only' for £229. Did you see it at that price including the lens?

    I'd just buy the body and look at used lenses.
