Demersynth Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 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.

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. :| Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/619074-ill-be-adding-a-new-body-to-my-family/#findComment-589199923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Veteran Posted February 11, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 11, 2008 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. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/619074-ill-be-adding-a-new-body-to-my-family/#findComment-589199953 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing is, I've heard it's a **** camera. I'm probably going to pick up a Nikon D40x or possibly the D80. 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.

Bawx Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 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.

sundayx Veteran Posted February 11, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 11, 2008 Discounts? How about "demo" units? :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/619074-ill-be-adding-a-new-body-to-my-family/#findComment-589200159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodcase Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 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.

McKrout Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 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.

Thrawn Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 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.
