QUOTE(travis_ckf @ Nov 26 2007, 10:42 PM) Possible, perhaps a D90 or a D80 replacement. But for me an upgrade to D80 should be sufficent for my lvl. So, any early takers for my d40??  Well, dun forget the statement that you've made are refering to you at this moment, who knows in another few months time, you've level up and that's will be a different story then!

A little off topic, but i want to let go my 52mm CIR Polarizer filter. Fits well for the 18-55 kit lens and 55-200 VR zoom lens for D40. Pls PM me for details.

I got my cam through Tarita, the prices for the the cam itself are allright but after you get the cam they'll try all kinds of funny tricks to sell you heavily marked up accessories.
DO NOT DO NOT DO NOTTT BUY ANY ACCESSORIES FROM TARITA THEY MARK IT UP BY LIKE 100%.

lol.. after I bought my 40x from them the fella tried to sell me a Cokin UV filter for the kit lens for around RM150. What he did was he tried to cover the price on the tag telling me to "trust him it's a huge discount". When I tried to tell him that I could get a Hoya filter for less he tried to convince me that Cokin was better than Hoya. Later I managed to peek at the price tag for the Cokin and it was marked at around RM260.
I paid RM2430 for the kit + Nikon branded SLR bag + Toshiba 2GB about 4 months ago. Some shops will try to tell you that the bag if sold by itself is worth RM160, I can assure you that the cost price for the bag is less than RM40. Just buy the camera from them and walk out.

Anyway , do your supplier carry filter ?

^ Nah, even here in Australia where most camera stuff is like 20% more expensive I can still get it for less than RM100.

Yeah, even though I'm in KK here, but I oftenly heard positive feedbacks of YL Camera and J-One these two camera shops. Maybe you can try surveying there.
