In shopping around for a camera, I've noticed there are a lot of companies with similar deals and BBB reports.

We priced our camera on the circuit city site. When we went to the Waldorf store, they wanted a lot more for it. I told the sales girl that the price was cheaper on their site. She double-checked it and gave it to us for the internet price.

I wonder how many people end up paying the 'in store price'.

Yeah, I didn't pay much attention, but that is a bit different than manufactors warranty isn't it? What doesn't sound right in those reviews though is the viewfinder package. You can't even set up your camera with out the LCD so why would they be made that way?

I have about $2000 worth of Nikon equipment in my camera bag that hasn't been used in a LONG time.. but I also understand that all of my Nikon gear, lenses, Cokin Filters. teleconverter. flash, are compatible with tne new digitals.. True or False? Pros cons??

Granted this equipment is almost 30 years old, but it all is in VERY good shape..

A-ha! Search IS my friend. I had a crazy idea this morning to go look for my old camera and lenses. While the camera is no good, I'm also wondering if my lenses would fit a new one. I have a 75-300 macro zoom and an ultra wide macro lens (both appear to be made by Sakar). Yes, they are VERY old.

Are lenses made back then universally compatible with today's cameras, anyone? TIA.

Anyway, we got the camera kit, a memory card, the XTi bag that comes with an extra battery and the UV filter lense. Hubby already has a tripod, so I didn't get one of those. I've taken so many pictures tonight it's crazy.

I haven't had time to figure out all the buttons and features, but I know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE the close-up feature. It rocks!!!

I can't wait to get a zoom lense for it too.

If you want a 70-300 Ill give you one CHEEP. I have Two and never use either anymore.
