Hey guys,
dont know if im posting this in the right place,

im looking to buy a Nikon D90 with a 18-200mm VR lens
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Electronics-photography/Digital-cameras/Digital-SLR/auction-225019841.htm

are they a good camera? pros and cons? or should i be looking at something different?

also, i saw this,
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Electronics-photography/Digital-cameras/Digital-SLR/auction-225177397.htm

which has a different lens, but im asumming the first one is a better unit?

any help is appreciated,

Cheers, Smurff

hmmmmmmm that seller is good... i used to buy many many things off that seller... great service... and ofcourse great products

Also the D90 is a realy good camera....


the thing is.... once you buy that 18-200 you will want more and more lenses and other things... i suggest you get a 50mm f/1.8 as they are cheap and one of nikon's best lenses when you compare the price vs value.



may i ask what you shoot with now?

those things dont really break eh..... i got my d300 and d700 off that seller. if it does break the guy will send it back but it is an international warrenty u get with it. i think buying here is bullshit as when u need to repair anything major they'll send it back to japan or some shit any way. buying in NZ only means you pay more and for no reason.

Haim's right, they send gear back anyways, I had a lens sent to Japan, didn't get it back for 4 months.

Whats up Jake!

Smurff: Get a price from ProGear in Newmarket (3 Railway Street). They are NZ Nikon and Canon resellers & are present on TradeMe as "Glam" and "Progear1". They're likely your best chance at NZ-warrantied gear at good prices & you get receipts for any & all purchases.

Definantly buy off trademe.
the warrenty will usualy be for 2 years international warrent from trademe?
the guys ship with very secure packaging aswell.
I brought mine off there about 2 months ago,
and everything has turned out perfect.
