Hermit Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I knew I shouldn't have tried out the D90, it's tempting me into an upgrade sooner than I planned! Seems silly really, because I already have the D80, but the better light meter, active d-lighting and bigger brighter screen make it (sort of) worth it. Plus lots of incremental improvements as well. But where can I get one for a good price? I want to be sure I get the proper UK model so the warranty is hassle free, and the best I've seen so far is £630 at CameraBox. It's advertised at a couple of places for less than £500, but I'm assuming those are grey imports. Anyone know of any better deals out there?

Frank Bullitt Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Try warehouse express, thats where I get my camera stuff from and you can usually barter for a discount too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 That's where I bought my D80, was a very good price then. They've got the D90 listed at £685 - even bartering hard I doubt they'd beat £630 by much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 usually the best prices... Very handy, ta! Looks like £630 is a pretty good price then. I could try ordering it for you as Im tax exempt but postage will probably bump the price back up again. That's really good of you to think of doing that reckon you're right though about postage. As for selling the D80, I'm wondering about getting the D90 with the 18-105 VR kit lens, and selling it with the D80 - do you reckon that would make for an easier sale or not? I guess I'd try for £250 for the D80 body only, or £400 with the lens. Wouldn't make me any money on the lens, but it would be a nice discount for the buyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I don't know much about the Nikon kit as Im a Canon man. If the lens is like the budget EF-S lens canon supply with their bodies sell it all as one lot. TBH it will probably make the sale a little easier too.

If the lens is like the budget EF-S lens canon supply with their bodies sell it all as one lot. TBH it will probably make the sale a little easier too. And I know very little about Canon kit - once you've spent a tidy sum on lenses you don't change camp without a very good reason!! The Nikon 18-105 is supposed to be a pretty nice lens, with VR (aka IS ), easily 200 quids worth. I'm thinking that I'd be most likely to find a buyer new to DSLRs, so a ready-to-shoot package with memory card seems the way to go.
