I just got this exact setup from amazon for $1289.94 (instant $250 off when you buy both the D90 body and the 18-200 VR lens). I thought the amazon deal was supposed to last until Jan 2 but they don't seem to have it on the website anymore.

As for the camera and lens, I just got mine in the mail yesterday and have been shooting away. It is great!

You shouldn't pay CA sales tax from amazon or bhphoto though, right? Glad I got the amazon deal before it was too late. Perhaps they stopped it because they ran out of lenses. I love amazon prime free 2-day shipping! :D

That is a good deal. I've been reading up on the D90 vs D300(s) to decide which one will be best for me. This is a decent article:

Nikon D80 vs D90 vs D300 Digital Camera Showdown | Spot Cool Stuff: Tech

and here's a good review of D300s

Nikon D300S Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review

Looks like the short version D90 = D300 - burst rate & magnesium body (not including the "s" upgrades to the 300)

Don't underestimate the value of that magnesium body, especially if you are going to use the camera in less than benign conditions.

Big fan of the D90 / 18-200 VR combo, which I've been shooting for just about a year now. At either of those prices it's a fine deal. The body is very responsive, generally snapping right in on the focus points I want it to, doing a good job with exposure, and with enough controls to let you easily take charge when you want to without having to go through the menu system every time. The 18-200 VR is a terrific all-around travel lens for a piker like me, though of course it doesn't let you limit DOF the way a pro lens would.

I think the II version of the lens in the deals above adds a zoom lock to prevent zoom creep when carrying it around, which is something my rig - with version 1 of the lens - lacks. Kinda wish I had it, but not enough to buy all over again.

That should net you a 16GB HD for $189.99 + free shipping.

Oh whoops, thanks for that. I might have to pull the trigger on that beat up Lambda instead...:(

I agree. So I added a nifty fifty for low light and playing with DOF and still keeping the whole kit nice and light.

I has a question. Anyone know what size the Comply tip is that is included? I'm assuming medium? I seem to be a large using the silicone and want to try the Comply, but the included one seems to be too small. Alternatively, anyone have some they'd want to sell?

I actually didn't know/think they came is sizes at the ear end, since they squash and expand. (My 23 word review of Complys, BTW, is that I love them on my SE-420s, but I prefer the Christmas trees on my RE-1s. And fresh Complys sound better than older ones.)

Jeff Koontz should know the answer to all questions Comply. [email protected]
