back from lowyat. want to ask here. i ask 2 shop give me this price.
D40 Kits + Tripod + Bags + Screen Protector + 1GB SD = RM2150
2 % Charge for Credit Card
do u all think is ok or not, or anyone can get more cheaper then this thanks.

i managed to persuade them to cancel the cc surcharge, meaning it's a waste of money to be charged that coz it's a big purchase. tell them other places don't charge surcharge, maybe they'll reconsider

should be able to get 2gb card with that price

if i buy sb400, then later if i upgrade my d40, need a new flash
if i buy sb600, then no need to upgrade flash anymore, quite adequate with it right?

for tomkent, my suggestion is just get the d40, why do u need a 10mpixel if ur a newbie, 6 is good enough, unless u wanna make a poster out of ur travelling photos, use the extra money to get a flash or upgrade lens

changed my mind, decided to get sb400 instead and use the rest of the budget for a 55-200mm VR

anybody got a second hand sb400 for sale? or where can i get the cheapest new one?

wanna hear a story?
went to keycolor midvalley today
asked about sb-400, the price stated was 699
i ask what's the price, so he said 599
i'm so lazy to haggle, so i asked 599? 400 cannot?
he said, 400 i buy from u la
so he said 499
i just smile and walk away, the hell with keycolor
later am gonna buy sb400 at other places for 400 and sell to that fella
he thinks malaysian customers are idiots like him, never do research one about the price
