Is this a good Nikon D80 deal?


comes with 3 lenses

here is the ebay deal i'm looking at:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Nikon-D80-Digital-SL...

18-55mm
50mm
70-300mm
wide angle + telephoto lense

there are so many combinations to chose from
this would be my first SLR
would i regret getting this? i shoot just about everything.

in addition, i don't know if this lense combination would be enough.
for example, why get the 70-300mm not the 18-200mm??

If it sounds to good to be true, chances are...

I would be weary of Ebayer not accepting Paypal. Paypal usually insures your purchases when you use their card. Chances are Paypal canceled their account with them. Then there is a chance that this place are selling refurbished cameras as new.

You are making a big investment, so, don't take chances. Good Luck!

The camera is a good one and the lenses (the 18-55mm, 50mm and 70-300mm IF Nikon's, are good lenses. If they are third-party, you may be wasting your money). What is scary is the way they are marketing the deal. They are appealing to people who have no experience with cameras and cannot see through the smoke and mirrors being used to sell this camera.

Just recently some on Yahoo Questions bought a D80 and was shipped a D60 ... the seller claimed that they sent a better, newer camera. Bad news!

Look someplace other than eBay for your camera. B&H Photo, Adorama, Ritz and many other stores (which have physical addresses if you wish to visit them) are reputible dealers.

Actually the 18-200mm lens is one of the hottest lenses right now ... that and the 24-70mm f/2.8

Oh god no. They also give you wide & telephoto "lenses" that fit in front of a regular lens. That's like using a coke bottle for your lens.

And 1 GB memory card? And a cheap bag? And a cheap tripod. No no no. Get it from a local camera store or a reputable place like B&H ( http://www.bhphotovideo.com ) in New York.

yes
