Sounds good to me. The kit lens which comes with the D50 is pretty good, especially when compared to the kit lens which comes with the Canon 350D. |

Oh of course, you live out there, don't you? I bet you can get some good deals on stuff like that, eh? Could you do me a huge favour? If you happen to see a Sony HDRFX1 (Hi-Def Camcorder), could you let me know the price of that? Cheers |

The 70-300 lense is ok.. worth about £60 in the USA... they are the G lense... ie nikons reallly cheap stock optics. The 18-55 will sort you out if you're doing basic stuff... remember the nikon D-SLR's all have a focal length factor of 1.6 so the actual focal length of the lense is actually... 28-88mm which is a pretty good range ... All in all £408 is a good deal... you could alway chuck the 70-300 on ebay and get about £50 for it... You'll want to check that you're getting a decent memory card... you don't want corrupt photos... make sure it's a name brand pref. sandisk, lexar or viking. One lense you will never regret buying is a 50mm f1.8 prime... (80mm with 1.6 focal length factor) so perfect for portraiture... and some other stuff! |

the £408 deal is a good deal and you wont be disapointed, the 18-55 lense you get with it is a good lense, you certainly not going to get anything massivley better with out spending quite a bit more. since i bought mine i have got the 18-70 you get with the D70 this cost me £140 for a second hand one. |

i've got the d70 with the 18-70 lense (which is lovely). someone bought me the sigma 55-200 as a gift. its a pretty decent lense, and cheap i think too, but it's not what i would have chosen. at the moment i'm looking for a decent wide angle lense for a resonable price. |

I've got the D50, but with just the 18-55. That sounds like a good deal, if you were going to get the most out of both lenses, otherwise I would just get the kit. Subject to funds, I will hopefully be investing in a decent lens soon. |

yo,,thanks a lot for the replys! you wont regret it. i dug up my old nikon fm2 slr the other day. it's such a sexy machine, i'm getting a new battery for it tomorrow so i can put a few rolls of film through it & use it as a back up. just about enough space in the bag for it. although i've only got a fixed length 50mm lense for it, I'm on the look out for the 24mm nikor for some nice wide angled action. make sure you post some pics up jake... |
