Now it is time to emerge from the long winter hibernation, time to step blinking into the spring sunlight and with it the good news that Nikon have introduced a new cashback offer on the D3100 body for UK and Ireland residents, whether bought as a body only or with an AF-S lens. Whether this is your first DSLR or a backup body the 14.2 effective megapixel sensor combined with an Expeed 2 processor will get you stunning images every time.





We are also very pleased to announce special combination deals with the body and lens (all prices are VAT inclusive and do not include the cashback offer, which is supplied by Nikon UK after purchase):

There is currently a high demand for stock in several markets including electronics and cameras, with Nikon issuing a warning of low stock levels in the run-up to Christmas. We hope to meet all demands, but the earlier orders are placed the more likely you are to receive your goods in time for the 25th December.
