Another D40 Question!!!

[JJ!]

I am getting an SLR for Christmas and the D40 is right bang on the money for the price range. I dont think there is any other choice for sub £300!!

Couple of questions....

I cant afford any extra lenses for some time, is the supplied kit pretty good?
Can it use SDHC cards
And what case do you use? would just one a small case to fit camera and standard lens.

Cheers!

the 18-55mm kit is good enough for beginners (like me) its not got a huge zoom on it, but once you have learned more about the camera etc, you can get another lense..

i have a lowepro case off amazon, fits the camera, 2 lenses, couple of filters ande memory cards

yeah it can use SDHC

^^ cheers people, went and had a fiddle at Jessops and felt great. Going to reserve and collect online for a further 5% off there asking price of £299.99. Which makes it £275 - bargain SLR imo!!

Please tell me you're getting black, not silver?

Nope still going

Where is this 5% off at Jessops. A lot of there 5% codes DONT include DSLR. At the moment the only offer I can see is 10% but that doesnt include DSLR

 

[Revels]

5% is for everything, 10% excludes DSLR

If you add the Nikon D40 to the basket, then click the 5% Hotukdeals thing, add the voucher code the code works but does not discount the D40 from 299.99

Not surprised cant see them knocking that much of it. Unless I did something wrong

 

[JJ!]

put the code save5 in

 

[Rasclart]

Same again dude registers as save 5% at Jessops and the price stays at 299

worth getting a screen protector?? or is the screen pretty robust???

 

[Rasclart]

The screen is pretty good if you are carefull with it. Depends how heavy handed you are with it.

The D80 I picked up had one fitted nit sure if it includes this as default and I havent taken it off. Worth a couple of quid I reckon

 

[MrAtego]

I got a screen protector for my D50 off ebay, also acts as a good sunshield so you can see pics on screen in direct sunlight

 

[miltage2]

my olympus e510 has been stolen until xmas!

 

[JJ!]

Not heavy handed, not with camera's anyway!!

 

[Rasclart]

LOL they are only a couple of quid. They look ugly. But do there job

 

[Clart]

i just bought some phone screen protectors and cut them to size.

 

[Rasclart]

Thats like a sticky film isnt it?

This is like a plastic clip on bit. Looks ghey

 

[Clart]

yeah just like a sticky film, fook the plastic protector jobbies
