Why is D90 price dropping like a rock

[toomanycanons]

Yup. $829 at Adorama, free shipping, and no tax for me out here in sunny California.

Just checked Adorama again: less than a week, and now it's $809. Wow.

A month or so ago Adorama had refurb D90 bodies for $699. I foolishly thought they'd either stay there or go down. Kinda like guessing what the stock market is going to do.

Not sure that's it. As far as I know, they have a policy of matching each other's > prices, so it would not do anything. And isn't Adorama observing the same holidays?

Dunno, but for the past couple of months I've been having to buy from Adorama because BH was always closed so if they are, it's not effecting their business.

At Adorama:

D90 body $809.95
D5000 + 18-55mm VR lens: $719.95

Unless you do all your shopping only on Fridays and Jewish holidays, I haven't a clue why you think they're always closed.

Yes, I a lot of buying and Thursdays and Fridays and Saturdays, but I've also not been able to purchase on other days of the week.

I'm sure it's just been the luck of the draw, but it HAS resulted in me discovering Adorama and now they've become my "go-yo" guys. It used to be BH all the way.

Fixed it for ya.

Same here but you don't see me crying over it...

I guess with everyone buying DSLR's now (ugh hate that) we will see more complaining about prices dropping.

Well hey I paid $1,100 for a D70 years ago - how much do you think it is worth now? $300 maybe? ;-)

I bought a new D90 a few weeks ago and am noticing that it's price has really dropped. Today at B & H, it's $830. $20 cheaper than it was yesterday.

Last week, it was 875. I did get a price match once, but I am out of the 15 day period at B & H. what the heck!

That shouldn't be a surprise. I remember when I bought my first plasma, I paid almost $3000.00 and few months later the same TV was available for $2200.00.

So the rule is... Get the best deal of the time and stop looking at the price, once you have the item. ...

Actually, now I find that a lens I just ordered from Adorama through Amazon will be delayed two weeks, so I guess you were right about them taking same holidays off.
Oh well, there's always my local Ritz outlet I guess.
