So I finally took the plunge and bought myself a digital SLR camera. I stumbled upon it while browsing
Cheap Stingy Bargains for something completely unrelated. RitzCamera had a one week sale on the Nikon D40 for $600.00. But it's not just the body and lens. It's also a bunch of software, lens hood, battery and charger, cables, kit bag and an additional lens- the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED.
I wasn't able to find just the body and lens for less than $500.00, though I didn't look too far beyond the usual suspects of camera sales. But hell, for an entry level digital SLR it's pretty swank. It's been well reviewed and decently rated by tech and camera sites. I can't wait to take this little thing for a drive. I'll probably really put it through the ringer this HorrorFind.
God... I'm such a tech-nerd.
