ooh! that's right, i get to pick! i'll think about it and talk to the man, we'll figure it out.

 

yes i did, a little too much work needed to that. I have such little time....

 

"The Man" as in the government, or "The Man" as in me?

 

^ Oh no she didddnn'ttt!

 

should i bite the bullet and get it from amazon? BNIB for 598 with the vr lense.......

....... or get the package deal at bby this week for 850 with the 18-55 vr and the 55-200 vr.......

 

"the man" as in you. duh.

 

Jim, the 18-55mm isn't that great of a lens. Get the body and an 18-200mm VR lens.

 

hahaha thanks babe.

 

you're welcome

 

the 18-55 vr lens is a good lens. thanks for the input though.

either way i'd be getting both lens'

 

The 18-200mm VR is basically both of those lenses, combined into one.

Which body are you looking at, the D40 or D40x?

 

the 18-200 lens is also how much? exactly......

the d40. why would i even look into the d40x. thats the d40, 50, and 60 rolled into one crappy bundle.

 

The D40x is 10mp, vs the D40 @ 6, plus it shoots in continuous mode @ 3.0 (D40 is 2.5). The extra cost was too much for too little, so I got the D40.

I think the 18-200mm VR is $650, but it's pretty much everything you'd need (aside from a night lens) all in one lens. I'm picking that up along with the 50mm VR 1.4f lens.

i wouldnt spend 650 on that lens if im only buying the d40. thats a little retarded.

so basicly what you're saying is the d40x and the d60 are the same thing..... do a little more research.

 

Actually, the D60 offers more than the D40x, but it's not worth the price. At that point, I'd just get the D80.

$650 isn't a lot for a lens, and what you're saying, is that the D40 isn't even worth upgrading, so why buy it?

 

Aww, I'm still around!!! I'll be seeing you guys this weekend, no doubt.

 

Megapixels don't matter *much*

 

Your camera is only as good as the glass between it and the subject, yo!

 

Hey guys,

Who would be interested in going on a paintball skirmish this summer? By going, I mean being involved in the paint spewing festivities. Of course you can attend to watch but for the sake of pricing field time and equipment rental... email me at bigdonvincenzo@gmail.com indicating your interest to participate.

Probably on a Sunday afternoon in June. If enough people, 10+ confirm to go, we'll be a private party and have the use of one of three fields to ourselves.

The location is:
586 Schuylkill Road (Rte. 724)
Phoenixville PA 19460
