The Nikon Instant Rebates are LIVE again!

The 70-300mm VR lens continues to appear and disappear from Amazon.com like a UFO and thus effectively activating and deactivating the $200 OFF instant rebates. As of the time of writing, the lens is currently available! We have just refreshed the Nikon Instant Rebates page with the latest information, so be sure to check it out if interested in the D700, D300s, D90, D5000 and D3000. The rebate promotion ends on December 12.

But wait, there's more! While checking the latest status, we discovered that the Nikon D5000 is actually eligible for both the $200 off and $100 off instant rebates. Check the detailed breakdown for all the details. The most likely purchase scenario will get you the D5000 w/18-55mm DX VR, and 55-200mm DX VR, and 70-300mm VR for $1078 after a total of $300 in instant rebates is factored in.

Please keep in mind prices and availability, especially the 70-300mm VR lens, change all the time, so your mileage may vary. We cannot stay in front of the computer 24x7 hitting refresh every five minutes to see if the status changes :)
