[QUOTE="roblade, post: 92749, member: 11619"] Would have to say that is probably the better option. But from personal experience I bought a D3000 with kit lens a couple of weeks ago for £200 ($320) brand new unused in the box, picked up a 55-200mm NON VR lens for £47 second hand ($75) and flashgun for £25($40). Found a bag in a close out sale for £10 ($16) and using my 16gb memory card from the point and click. So total from the kit is £282 ($451) which is £32 above cheapest store price (on line or in store) for body and 18-55mm kit and i got the 55-200mm lens and bag and oh my gosh i think my brain has melted with all these figures. I did what i could afford to do, it was not cash all out at one time i could have lived without the other bits, so only initial expense would have been the £200 for camera + kit lens.
