Nikon D80 body-Is this possible?

[masterswimmer]

Can this price and product be for real??????

$309 for the Nikon D80 body

Has anybody here purchased from Shop Digital Direct? Are they reliable? This price is about $200 less than anywhere else I've found.

Dean.. you're the Man!!!

There are quite a few sites like that where when they say body only they really mean it (no batteries, bundled software and sometimes on caps, which all needs to be purchased separately). When you place an order a rep will give you a call to qualify what you have ordered in an effort to sell you more items.

Also overseas models w/o warranty. Stay away from these places imo.

that shop is EVIL

They use to have one domain.. the name slips me but really screwed over someone. It was posted on the internet and they bought a lot more domains to mask their real store to get others to buy from

Long story short.. what they do is offer items for cheap and really try to pressure you to buy the addons for a over price and they don't honor warranty's at all.

If its too good to be true.. well you know..

Thats a pretty complete package! The only item that worries me is the flash. I'm not familiar with that one..

With all that's offered in that bundle, the flash seems insignificant. As a matter of fact, anything more than just the lenses seems insignificant in that deal.

Just wondered if there was something glaring in the deal that would raise a red flag? Once again, seems too good to be true.

I have been waiting to pull the trigger on a camera (need to recover from my christmas spending) so I have been doing alot of research.

From memory (so I could be slightly off) these are the best prices I have found on some this stuff from legit places.

D80 Body $519


D90 body $839
18-55 $149
70-300 $149
50 1.8 prime $130

I would shy away from anything deviating to far from these prices.

What's the difference between a D60 vs D80 vs D90 body?

This should give you a side by side


Didn't see Deanos' post when I posted, my link is slightly more technical while Deanos' post is probably more user freindly.
