Nikon Digital SLR deals

Costco and Amazon currently have good prices on Nikon digital SLR cameras.  Amazon's promotion is $100-$250 off an additional lens.  Costco has a straight discount ($200) off its bundles of two of the most popular models, the D3100 and the D5100.  These bundles include an additional 200mm zoom lens, a carrying case, and an extra memory card.  In general the Amazon deal is better unless you value some of the other extras in the Costco bundles.

• D3100: Costco - $779.99 (plus sales tax) vs. Amazon - $733.47 (plus use tax)
• D5100: Costco - $1,099.99 (plus sales tax) vs. Amazon - $896.77 (plus use tax)
