i have finally decided on my DSLR...

...after agonising over the decision for quite a while now, i have decided that i would go for a somewhat cost-effective NEW package which should last me for the next 4 to 5 years, hopefully...

the NIKON package is as follows:-

• D40 body
• 18-55mm II AF-S DX kit lens
  
• SB400 flash
• 1GB SD card

all for slightly more than 1050 the next thing would of course be the 55-200mm VR AF-S zoom, which i hope the missus (who's in tokyo now) can find at a better-than-local price...the best so far that i have come across is about s$430...if only

and the 2 lenses (future 55-200mm on the right) plus flash unit:-
