Nikon D40 Kit

[Anish]

Anybody looking to buy a new cam should certainly consider this.

Nikon Digital Camera Pricelist , Latest Prices for Nikon Coolpix Cameras

22k with the kit lens and 1GB card + UV Filters + Bag is a steal !!

Don't be fooled by the 6MP sensor, its more than enough for a semi-pro, this cam is miles ahead of something like a Canon S3 / Sony H2

This just got very interesting, I would like to see what price the S5 IS comes in at now....

 

[rPOk]

nice deal - entry point for dslr's touching 20k....S3IS is already at 15k now...

^No warranty beyond 3 months though.. small risk attached.JJM are fairly good with after-sales, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Good deal, Anish!

but the problem with d40 & d40x is u need to by high end lenses with inbuilt autofocus motor for the auto focus to work if u put regular lenses u have to focus manually.

30K kit (with default lens) + UV filter + battery pack + 2 GB card
D40x just 8k more than the D40...
totally worth it.

Pity the damn EOS 400D is still 35K+

^MF isn't a bad thing now is it?

 

[adder]

what about the EOS 350d that will be a good deal.

 

[Anish]

^ To be frank, the absence of MF is a bit bloated, because people anyways use digitally corrected lenses on these cameras.

You need to be careful while buying 3rd party like Sigma/Tamron/Tokina though

@ vandal - The 400D is 32k grey (w/ 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 kit)

@ adder - 350D is ancient man, 1.8" LCD doesnt cut it nowadays.
