Who has/had the Nikon D40 for sale?

[rondog]

I swear I saw a Nikon D40 camera for sale here recently for $300, but I can't find the thread now. Am I dreaming? Is it still up and I'm missing it? Was it pulled or sold? Somebody's messin' with ol' Ron? Maybe another board.....

[twitchyfinger]

I was wondering the same thing Ron as I remember seeing too but I couldn't remember if it was a D50 or D40. Went to look for it again and couldn't find it either!

Now to make matters worse because I can't remember where I saw it either but here is a D60 SLR for $350 and I thought it might be the same one but cannot remember. Was this the same one as a thought I saw posted here? The user names look familiar but maybe it's just me going crazy!!!

I have a P90 for sale. Not an SLR but a damn good camera with zoom you would pay 1K plus for in a removable lens. And I'm always open for trades. [Tooth]

[Bailey Guns]

It sold yesterday. Ask me how I know. :)

Think Carl snagged it! Or knows the guy who has/had it for sale...

Thanks man, but the next one I buy will be a DSLR of some sort. I used to have two F3's and a bagful of Nikkors and really miss 'em.

Figures that it's already sold, just my luck.

Not sure if that D60 on pinecam is still for sale or not maybe Carl will chime back in on which camera is was referring to?

Edit: Guess that one is gone too as the thread is now deleted. Wonder if it was the same camera that we "thought" we saw here?

[Bailey Guns]

I didn't buy the D40 but I was with the guy who did.

I was also going to link to the Pinecam thread for the D60...another smokin' deal. But it's apparently gone, too.

Nice! I was just trying to figure out the differences between the D40/50/60 besides the megapixels and why each model is selling for about the same price used on CL for around $3-350? Would have thought the higher end models would be much more $$$

Some nice deals on CL rondog...

[Bailey Guns]

Yeah, the D60 has a few more features and higher resolution.

I've owned a D40 for about 4 years. It's a pretty awesome camera for an entry level. Hard to go wrong. You can get the D40X (10.1 MP, I think) for just a few $$ more on a new one.

I've really got the itch for a D90 or a D7000 but I just don't have the money right now.

I believe this was the gentleman.

I was looking at it too. I have a couple of Nikons and like them both. The D40 looked to be smaller than my D1h but there were some drawbacks. Glad it went to a good home.

BTW: I can get Energizer batteries, for most all Nikons, fo a decent price. Been using them in both my cameras with good success.

It was rfizzle that had it for sale. I looked but being a Canon guy......[Coffee]

What I'm really curious about is the D3100, anybody know anything about them? I damn near pulled the trigger on one over the holidays. My niece is getting married soon, so I need to get something. I need another good camera anyway.

Years ago, I used to shoot a lot of biker events and sold a few hundred photos and a couple of articles to Easyriders and other bike rags. Did a couple of assignments, covered some of their bike rodeos, tattoo shows, etc. My F3's were wonderful and I had some killer lenses, but they weren't autofocus or digital. I've had a lot of photos published, but I've got a lot stashed that aren't printable! Drunk biker chicks, gotta love 'em! http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b150/rinselman/smilies/boobies.gif

Thank you very much! I was also thinking about the D3000, but that review killed that idea. The 3100 sounds much better.

[rondog]

Well, I went ahead and made the leap, and bought a new D3100 kit with the 55/200 second lens. It remains to be seen if I have the brain cells to figure out how to operate it!

[Elhuero]

next camera purchase for me will be a d90.

[Bailey Guns]

Congrats on the 3100, rondog. And I really had the itch for a D90, too. But, I'm gonna go with the newer model...the D7000.

I've read really good stuff about it and I like the metal body as opposed to the plastic one.

[patrick0685]

my wife has a D90 and loves it

[rondog]

The D90 looked very cool, but it was a helluva lot more $$$, and I'm a cheap bastard. The reviews were very good for the D3100. Took me years to pull the trigger on this, but I've always loved photography and I figure I'll use this a lot more than a new rifle. I rarely get to use the ones I have. At least now I can take good photos of them.

One bit of advise;

DON'T LOOSE THE MANUAL!


Oh yeah
