Now that I have had time to check myself, this is about a $200 discount on officially-approved prices in the USA. At the end of this last February Nikon was offering a better instant-rebate program that put the price right at $1299 by all authorized Nikon sellers. Will the warranty by this offer work when needed? No way to really know until the time comes for a warranty repair. Over 18 years I've owned a Coolpix 995, 2 D80's and a D7000 without ever making a warranty repair claim to date. But plenty of people besides myself have needed to fix a camera or 2. Just to give a quick review on this DSLR, I have only used mine a little bit to this point. The spring season has not been favorable in my neighborhood. The WiFi is more gimmick than feature. If you pair a smartphone and use the app, you can make your smartphone into a remote shutter release. You can also share photos online through the app on the phone but not directly from camera without the phone. I leave WiFi off. Menu and buttons are very customizable. I wish the left-side command dial had a position setting for using the IR remote shutter release like my D7000 does, but I use a plug-in shutter release more anyhow. I have tried using my DX format Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 on this body, and it worked. The image is auto-cropped to 67% size with a box in the viewfinder showing me the correct framing. This 24MP sensor cropped down to 67% gives a 16MP image, identical to the D7000 that I used before, so I will hold on to the Sigma lens a while longer.

These 2 photos are showing off the resolution and macro at f/2.8 of my Tamron 90mm. 2nd pic is a crop made from the 1st. Where it's in focus, it is sharp as a tack.
