Where to buy a Nikon D40

[cali_reef]

If you do decide on getting one off ebay or one of the many online stores, use http://search.live.com/cashback/products/offerings/18003/7485636 for discount from Microsoft. The ebay cash percentage changes hourly with the max being 20%, I have bought a few things with $250 cash back already.

Would you guys go with a Nikkor 105mm macro or a Sigma 150mm ?

I believe Nikkor is still a Nikon product, I dont know much about Sigma though, sorry.

Waiting on a macro lens. Here are a few shots taken with the D40 kit lens. I'm still playing with the setting. Not really sure what I'm doing but I got a few pics to come out ok.

yourbedormine, don't know the actual name of the coral but most guys refer to it as a "bonsai"

MikeyZo, thanks dude. I picked up the D40 kit with 18-55mm lens from target. With a 10% coupon it was the same price if not cheaper than most websites. I needed a new toy to play with ASAP. I am going to get the Sigma 150mm macro lens. Hopefully I can get some really nice closeup then.
