Nikon D3200: Buy now or wait for price to drop further? - 1

I am looking forward to buy my first DSLR and I have set my eyes on Nikon D3200. Well, we all know D3300 is announced and will be released on Feb 6, but I am not planning to get the newer model.

The price of D3200 (since November) has been around $500 ~ $530. I just got my 2013 bonus check and it is just enough to buy my a new camera. So, I am wondering if I should get it now.

Based on experience, is $500 as low as it can get within 2014 Q1? Will the price drop further within the next 2~8 weeks after D3300 is officially hit the market?

(I don't want to cry when the price drop to $450 3 days after I purchase the camera.)

No ads please. I already know where I will buy from.
