Ill be adding A New Body To My Family

[goodcase]

I'm getting myself a Nikon D300 body by April. I'm ordering it through work so I get it for $1419.00 cnd before tax's, ill also be grabbing the vertical battery grip. I'm pretty excited for it.

Niiiice. Where do you work that you get a discount?

[Demersynth]

Dam dude, that is sweet! The only DSLR my company sells is the Canon EOS400D with a 2 lens kit. I get an okay discount on that. Only thing is, I've heard it's a **** camera. I'm probably going to pick up a Nikon D40x or possibly the D80.

400D is far from a **** camera. :laugh: Where'd you hear that?

Congrats on that D300 though. That's an insane deal. :|

I totally wasn't thinking camera body. Guess I should have read what forum this was in. I was like.. Congrats? But Congrats anyway, great deal.

The 400D is a lot better than a D40x.

If you're getting a nikon, and looking at those two options, I couldn't stress how much better the D80 is than the D40/D40x.

not sure where you heard the 400D is bad, but you are very mistaken. Great camera for the price.

Some guy walked into my work today with a Canon EOS strapped to his wrist. Was really weird, he was just buying some shelf with this wicked expensive camera on his wrist, he kept having to hold it to sign the pad. Looked so fun to use though.

Congrats on the new purchase and also, are they hiring where you work?

+1

Or better yet, how bout getting us neowinians exclusive discounts :D :p :whistle:

[sundayx Veteran]

Discounts? How about "demo" units? :p

[goodcase]

Im pretty stoked on it.

I work at Blacks Photo, so i get the camera at cost through Nikon. Yes we are hiring haha. The only demo unit worth anything right now is the D40. Its on sale for $559 and you save 10% so you'd be paing $500 before tax. Which is a pretty good deal.

If it wasn't for the fact I'd have to cross into Canada everyday (nothing against Canada, just takes too long to cross the border,) I'd apply for a job, hehe.

Yup, I was expecting a thread about how your wife finally got pregnant. Ok, well a new camera body is good to have too. All of mine have been Canon :-p

I have a Nikon microscope though... Nikon makes OK objectives. Mine has a 100/1.25 Oil.

[goodcase]

I convinced my dad to buy it for me. So i'll be getting it sooner than expected. Im soooo excited for it.
