Nikon Z9 deal status right now
On November 6 the Z9 body page at B&H still lists $4,796.95, in stock. Nikon had listed the $1,100 rebate through November 1, and the dollar has not moved. That’s $400 below last Black Friday’s $5,196.95. The regular price on file is $5,896.95. Last year the next rebates started November 6.
The November 6 body page still shows it. A later holiday rebate could go lower. Last year’s holiday price was higher, so we wouldn’t skip this one to wait.
