Not all kit lenses are junk, the Nikon kit lenses are usually pretty decent (18-55, 18-55 VR, 18-105 VR, 18-200 VR for example).

When you can, pick up a 50mm f/1.8 as well - should be able to find one used for around $100 or new for around $140.

Thanks, I will keep in mind. This will be a good thread for me to refer too once I get more adapted to the camera and start looking for more lenses.

I just hope the damn tax and warranties and things like that don't hike the price up lol

Soooooo...I went with the D90 and it is freaking amazing! I'm hooked.

Suggestion:

The 6MP Nikon d50 was the low light champ prior to the d300. All Nikon AF lenses work with the d50. You can get a body for ~$250 and the 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 sharp as a tack lens for ~$150.

If you like photography, the d50 is an excellent back up.

Ive got a D90 and love it. I got mine at best buy with an 18-105mm and paid 1100.00 for mine. Id be careful with the one your looking at.
