Re: What's the most you would you pay for these DSLR packages and which would you pic

my guestimates would be like 325ish for the first one...it's missing the kit lens which is a major downer....

second would be like 400-450ish....mainly cause it comes with flash...i dunno how much those are worth in Nikon stuff

also depends on how much usage these have had...

Thanks Dinz. The SB-600 flash would run about $125 used. The question is, which one would you buy? I was leaning towards the 2nd one.

yea me too...having a camera with only a long zoom will be kinda limiting...the 18-55 is alot more versatile...

i been doing some research and i found out the D50 is a pretty old model dslr, the new d40's that are out have more features than the D50 and even has in camera editing options. you can pick up a d40 with the 18-55mm lens for under 500 on amazon. that is the camera i am set on getting over summer.

yea but the d40 has limited lens choices....the new D60 is the camera to get if going to a new nikon....that way you can decide to stay with the kit lens...or grow into the professional lenses...instead of being limited to d40 lenses...

yeah the d40 is a toy its more like a bridge camera than an slr, cause you cant use any lens you want to, you HAVE to use a compatible one.

$450 will be my top offer then.

Exactly. Like most DSLR owners say, "Its all about the glass"

Is $700 a good price for a used Nikon D80 with 18-55mm and 24-80mm lenses? She had it for 1 year and she's a pro/semi-pro and I'm pretty sure she took great care of the camera.
