Nikon SLR Cameras

Which is a better offer for the Nikon D80 I'm about to buy?

I'm getting a Nikon D80 so do you think I should get this 30 pc kit which has a memory card and everything including the camera and two Tamron lenses. (They cost about 1, 200 $) Or just the camera and an 18-135mm lens and Nikon D80 body which costs about 600 $? Once I buy these I can't go off buying extra lenses etc.

P.S. If you think I should go for the 30 pc kit, should I get an 18-55 and 70-300 lens or an 18-55 and 55-200?

The 70-300 and the 55-200 lenses aren't worth shi*; arguably the worst lenses ever made.

IMO, I would get the body and the 18-135 lens - it's an OK lens that will perform well.

Which Tamron lenses are they? Also, it's hard to give advice on a "30 piece" kit if you won't tell us what the pieces are.

STAY WAY!

This is nothing but an unscrupulous seller preying on intelligent but uninformed consumers

The Nikon D80, while a fine camera in its time (2006), it was replaced by the Nikon D90 and now, just this month, the new Nikon D7000.

Most of what they are selling is cheap junk.

Look here at some of the deals on the older, refurbished D90 (what the seller calls "factory fresh")

Here is the new D7000.
