Well this is embarrassing. Two posts in a row from our old mate theearth. But they're just too good not to post on OzB. So all pride aside, and full credit to the great man. Sale starts Thursday. No idea if it's instore only, or available online in which case delivery should be free.

EDIT: Thanks to the link provided by Firey1989, seems this price is available now with free delivery. Store stock levels should increase Thursday when the catalogue sale officially starts.

full catalogue - product page - date page

Link to Nikon $100 cashback…

Update:

There appears to be issues with their cashback form. They advise the following:

use Other, and the Other and then type in the full name of the store

Officeworks is listed as an authorized seller.

    Thanks TA. Now need to decide which camera to keep - this one or the Canon M.

    Ring your local store. They may be happy to release stock before the official catalogue date.

    • jva on 10/11/2015 - 10:16

      Time to throw Canon M into your trash bin.

      • unity1 on 10/11/2015 - 12:01

        No. It's brand new. I will sell it if I have to but it won't be going into the bin.

    Watch this video review and tell me you still aren't tempted to buy it > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhUd90Mnzjw
    On a side note, does anyone know how much a decent telephoto zoom(70-300mm) lens will cost?

    • lomie on 10/11/2015 - 10:24

      The Nikon 4.5-5.6/VR (FX) version is about $300 2nd hand. I have one and it is very good outdoors. Good for wildlife. For lowlight, you'll need the 70-200/2.8.

      • zealmax on 10/11/2015 - 11:19

        Got both. They are very good. I like the 300mm for the range and because it is lighter than the 70-200. 300mm portraits are awesome.

  • mrdevil on 10/11/2015 - 09:18

    You're a legend once again TA! Been wanting a decent camera for a while, and the timing for this offer couldn't be better!!

    For all you South Adelaidians out there, Officeworks Noarlunga had three showing on their system, however after 10 minutes of "looking out the back" they couldn't find them. A quick drive to Marion proved eventful though, with them having approx 4-5 in the cupboard behind the cash registers at the front of the store (as of 7:45 this morning). Good luck :)

        I'm not sure, I called up and the person on the phone asked someone in the background if the "cameras had arrived". He than offered to put one aside for me. There was none on display.

    • Mechz on 10/11/2015 - 11:27

          JB HiFi at DFO southwarf melbourne refused to do price match. When I said about other stores who are doing it, the store person said it depends on stores discretion. I don't believe. I think the store person just did not bother.

          @pyarravajhala:
          Just walked in to JB HI FI North Sydney asked if they would price match with Office Work at $398, the bloke said thats really good deal and went to speak to his manager. After couple minutes he came back with YES so i purchased right on the spot. He did encourage me to buy SD Cards, bags and etc but i said No.

    I Just place Nikon D3300 on hold which was the last stock on store at Auburn Officework.
    So I can get $100 cash back through nikon website? which means $398 - $100 = $298 wow…..

    • chengjianer on 11/11/2015 - 11:29

      How many do they have in total?

    Hi, anyone have a copy of the new catalogue or a link?
    Want something a bit more substantial when I go to JB and try and get a price match.
    Because there is no stock left in OW I don't think a print from their site would be any good.

    • OhMaJuck on 10/11/2015 - 12:53

      Just walk in seek for a price match with office work, despite low stock its worth a shot.

  • LoveOz on 10/11/2015 - 13:27

    I tried calling office works werribee. They said they can't sell it until Thursday. When I mentioned about other office works stores who are selling, the store person said who ever had sold it can potentially get fired.

    • hepc on 10/11/2015 - 13:34

      haha classic. at the store I went to she just scanned it like it was a normal item and it came up as $398

    I am very new to this DSLR camera. So I got a couple of questions which might sound stupid:
    1. Is this camera better than a point and shoot when using on auto ( as I have no idea how to use the features that comes with this camera)?
    2. Is there online course that I can learn on how to use this camera to get the most out of it.?

    And thanks Ta, I bought one eventhough I don't know how to use it apart from auto mode.

  • Nooong on 10/11/2015 - 15:41

    • tightarse on 10/11/2015 - 15:53

      What I'm guessing is Nikon will only honour the cameras bought from Officeworks from Thursday onwards. I may be wrong though.

      • kangaroo on 10/11/2015 - 15:57

        I think office works missed to mention the fact the price is only after cashback, now they trying to fix it.

        I think you're right TA.

        The Nikon website doesn't state that OW is excluded from cashback and the advertisement states $100 cash back through Nikon.
        Maybe all will come right on Thursday, but I may try and nab one at JB before it's too late!

    not sure if its been mentioned, but just a heads up for anyone purchasing and claiming the nikon reward:

    when i entered the model:D3300, store: Officeworks and, Location: Milton, it came up with an error. just got off the phone with Nikon Customer Service and they said for "Store" and "Location" just put "other" then in the "please specify" section just put (in my case) Officeworks - Milton :)

    also 1 left at milton location in queensland when i left today.

    • rstephenson on 10/11/2015 - 16:34

      Thanks for letting us know. I'd sent an email off but will take a lot longer for a reply. I've followed the bouncing ball with the "other" selection, we just need to wait and see what happens. The first thing I did was start packing the camera up again when the redemption failed. I'm still not sure if I would take it back but it would be nice not to have to make that decision.
