Hi,
Seems that B&H decided to stop carrying a kit I was looking at,
D40x +18-55 and a 55-200 VR lens for 709.95.
Have contacted them, and unless I can get a reinstatement of it for tomorrow (hoping), I was looking at other possibilities...
Normally, the above kit is 839.90.
I was looking around at other Nikon, and found the D80 + 18-55 mm lens for 879.95.
Now, while megapixel count is 10.2 for both cameras, the D80 has a focusing motor in the camera.
Would it be worth it to buy the D80 over the D40x for $40 more, and then purchase the 55-200 VR at a later time (or a different telephoto lens), or save the $40 and purchase the D40x with 18-55 and 55-200 VR lenses?
Thoughts, opinions? How much better is the D80 over the D40x?
Thanks.
