*jumping up and down*

I bought a camera!! I ended up getting the one I wanted originally that UNFLUX got me interested in and I think the lens is a good one...

Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera with 18-200mm VR Lens

Am sooo excited!! And it's within my budget (second hand, the guy had upgraded to a D300)!!

:D :D :handsup: :rotatingsmile: :scrambleup: :angel: :multi: :banana: :beerchug: :iconshaking2:

Hi All, I am going to buy a Nikon D80 in 1 week. I found this link:
http://shashinki.com/shop/nikon-digital ... p-363.html

Is this good?

I will buy it at the mall on weekends. I need some advice, thanks.

:)

I found that i have many things i don't understand. There are zooms, and lens being sold separately, How should I get them together?? or separately?

Best to get the camera with a lens together, it will save money. My advice is don't buy from the websites but go in store yes you will pay more than what they say the price is online... I have found that websites say they have stock but don't and will try to make you wait a long long time and if you ever see your camera who knows!

2 more sleeps till I pick up my D80 :D :D

Maybe with your Australian stores :P
Online stock is generally easier to come by over here because there's less overhead.

I won't fault Ebay for the odd bargain, and Amazon for the competitive prices.

In the UK there is another great website http://www.7dayshop.com which has alot of camera equipment for sale at some amazing prices. They sometimes have cameras on sale too, although i haven't checked that recently.

Actually the *best* photo sites are American and rarely ship to Canada. B&H photo, Henry's, Adorama...
