my D40 was about 330:(

I think my refurb D40x cost about £300. It may as well have been sold to me as a brand new camera because there was not a mark on it.

do you not have any local high street camera shops where you could negotiate a better deal? even if it's just to get a bigger memory card or a cheapish bag thrown in? most shops round here were more than happy to throw freebies at me when i was inquiring last month.

I doubt id want to upgrade mate ive never owned a dslr before and its not like id be doing it professionaly like some people so couldnt justify spending a massive amount on a camera.

Where as £250-£300 on a camera which can take very good piks and would last me many years to come I can justify spending.

According to here - http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod267.html - it is cheapest, however I would say try and find one second hand. If you're anything like half the people on here you'll upgrade after 3/4 months so spend as little as possible early on :thumbs:

edit - ignore the above as all the cheap places are sold out.

i was looking in the argos book the other day and it seems all the cameras are well overpriced.

Can pick them up second hand for cheaper but I think id rather buy new....

Unless anyone on here is selling a good condition dslr in the same price range? :)
