Shopper conversation with Anne A. on August 18, 2016

Anne A.
Hi! Welcome to Adorama! How are you today? My name is Anne. Do you have questions about a camera? Or a lens? How can I help?
i talked to someone on the phone about trading in a camera, was told i should get a quote soon
was gonna look to buy either the d7100 or d7200
Anne A.
that will come from the used dept
do you guys offer any financing?
Anne A.
we have paypal credit, and the flexshopper lease to own program
so paypal credit is usually 0% for 6 months right?
Anne A.
yes it is!
what would you say are the main differences between the d7100 and the d7200? i am upgrading from a d90
Anne A.
the D7200 has a newer, faster processor
it also has a much higher iso capability for better low light performance
the D7200 also has a faster and more precise autofocus system and built in wifi
i see, seems like a pretty big difference
Anne A.
I have the d7200 myself - it's a great camera!
are they any other nikon's that you think i should be looking into? less than $900
Anne A.
Do you shoot any video?
prefer something around 550$ but might go higher if its a great deal
a little bit , but not too much, but the d90 did not have great video capability
Anne A.
we hav ethe D7100 refurbished for 589.95
or the refurbished d5500 for 599.95
the D5500 has the higher iso capability like the d7200 but it's a smaller body
what lenses do you have?
the D5500 needs AF-S lenses to have autofocus
18-105mm
Anne A.
that will work on the d5500
the D5500 also has a flip out touch screen
it is a smaller, lighter camera than the D90 or the D7100/7200
we have the nikon sb900 flash will that work fine on the d5500?
Anne A.
yes it will
it says camera kit, does that just means the lens? or do some other items come with it?
Anne A.
that includes the lens
all of the camera bodies also include the battery, charger, cables, and neck strap too
ok, i'm just waiting to get the quote for the d90 and than i will come into the store sometime within the week probably
Anne A.
great!
but it seems to have more features than the 7100
Anne A.
it does have a lot of features
the D7100 is a higher line, but the d5500 has a lot of the newer features
and comes with a lens
Anne A.
that is a plus
thank you for answering all my questions
Anne A.
you're welcome!
have a great day!
