so my sisters graduation is next week and i really want to get a real camera to take photos of her since my phone is kinda blurry... i found the nikon z6ii online but its like 2000 dollars which is way over my 1600 budget.
i tried looking at best buy and adorama but i cant tell if those prices are actually sales or just the normal price because the math is confusing me. sorry if this is a stupid question i just really dont want to get ripped off or buy it today and then see it cheaper tomorrow. does anyone know if there are any secret deals or coupons for it right now? i need to order it by monday to get it in time for the ceremony in ohio...
The Nikon Z6II 24.5MP Mirrorless Camera Body is definitely on sale for $1,599 at B&H and Adorama right now. That fits your budget perfectly. I have used mine for a long time and am very satisfied with the performance, no complaints. It is usually $2,000 so go for it before the price jumps back up. Just order now to make sure it gets to Ohio in time.
The $1599 price you are seeing is totally legit, but honestly, you gotta remember that is usually just for the camera body. I remember buying my first setup for a cousins wedding years ago and realizing way too late I didnt have a lens... I just stood there looking like a total amateur. Since your budget is $1600, buying just the Nikon Z6II Mirrorless Camera body will leave you with no money for a lens or even a memory card. Here are some things to think about:
- Look for a Nikon Z5 with NIKKOR Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 Lens instead to get a full kit under budget.
- Check for a used or refurbished Nikon Z6 Mirrorless Digital Camera to save some cash.
- Pick up a SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO UHS-I SDXC so you arent waiting for the camera to save photos. Basically, dont spend every cent on the body alone or you wont be taking any photos of the graduation ceremony.
