While the Nikon D610 has been discontinued for years, we've just spotted the classic full-frame DSLR brand new at Amazon US for $930.63.
A genuinely surprising find for photographers who already own Nikon F-mount lenses or simply prefer shooting through an optical viewfinder.
We've seen this happen before, albeit briefly. Back in 2024, the Nikon D610 reappeared on Amazon UK as part of a Black Friday deal, priced at £813.37 (approx. $1,100). Since then, new stock has dried up, with nothing but used or refurbished models turning up – often at questionable prices.
This US listing stands out. Brand-new boxed D610 bodies are now extremely rare, and reappearing stock is always limited.
For context, when Nikon announced the D610 in October 2013, it launched at $1,999.95 body-only. Officially, the Nikon D610 was discontinued in December 2019, with production ending by the close of that year – though some retailers had already marked it as discontinued as early as 2017.
Nikon D610: still a solid stills camera
The Nikon D610 may not be new tech, but it still delivers where it counts for photography. Key features include a 24.3MP full-frame sensor, 6fps continuous shooting, dual SD card slots, and a weather-sealed body.
The rear screen doesn't tilt, but it's a generously sized 3.2-inch display with 921k dots. Video is where the camera shows its age – there's no 4K, only Full HD – but for stills-focused shooters, that's unlikely to be a deal-breaker.
With Nikon fully committed to mirrorless, new DSLR bodies are becoming a thing of the past. At just over $900, the Nikon D610 is one of the most affordable ways to buy a brand-new full-frame Nikon camera – and likely one of the last chances to do so without turning to the second-hand market.
