Looking for the right DSLR Camera?
I'm looking for a Nice DSLR Camera. I have someone who is going to sell me a Nikon D40 with a 55-200mm Lens and all the accessories for $200 is this a good deal and what level is this camera on in the photography world.
Added (1). Ok Thanks. The person is semi-professional and there are no flaws or blemishes at all. It does only come with the 55-200mm lens though.
As long as you know the person and how he/she handles equipment (also depending on if the camera is in good shape) $200 is… A steal
the D40 was discontinued almost 3 years ago, and it sat at the lowest tier of camera. If it comes with an 18-55 and 55-200mm lens, you will be set for a good year or two
$200 is almost worth considering as a "disposable" camera, imagine that you need to take shots but where you take then the camera might get damaged or something like this.
this can also do a fine back up camera.
The body doesn't really matter, its the lens that matters. I say go for it. The money you save can be put towards an awesome lens
