B&H is offering rebates for various Nikon equipment this weekend, just in time for Mother’s Day. I’m sure you mother will appreciate a brand new D600 with 24-85mm lens, camera bag, 16 gig card, monopod, shoulder bag, extra battery and wireless mobile adapter for $2400. That’s a $300 dollar savings. On the other hand I’m sure your mother would appreciate just as much, the photos you take on Mother’s Day with your new camera if you happened to get it for yourself instead.

NikonRumors.com has a post about the deals, which you can see here. There are deals on point and shoot cameras as well as HDSLRs.

The above video is a review of the D600. I’m not the biggest fan of DigitalRev reviews, specifically the format and I think they can be much shorter, but I think the reviewer offers a solid opinion after trying the camera out. If you play the last couple minutes you get his opinion.

Costco has a good deal on the D600 kit, dropping in price from $3,290 to $2,790, making it very comparable to this B&H one. I think I like the B&H deal a little better because it offers and extra (off-brand) battery and monopod. You can add a 70-300mm to the B&H deal for $387 if you buy it with the D600 by clicking the link below the product description.

I recently used the D600 with the 24-70mm f/2.8 for a stills assignment, and really loved the result. I use the D800 (which is $200 off this weekend) at work and it’s the best camera I’ve ever used (though I haven’t used the 5d MKIII), and the D600 is essentially the D800 with less resolution and less sturdy body. If I was looking to purchase a camera that shot stills, I would probably go with the D600. The dynamic range it offers is outstanding and it was certainly beefy enough for me.

Happy shopping.
