My wife drug me into a Target store today, and while she was shopping for a Christmas present for one of our grand kids, I slipped over to their Camera aisle just to see what they had.
And what they had was a new Nikon D3200 24.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR NIKKOR Zoom Kit Lens for only $599.00
That's $100 off the original list price for this package. I wasn't expecting the price of this fairly new unit to drop until after Christmas. ;)

I see your getting the 70-300mm shortly....I have the AF ED 300mm F4 well worth getting if your into sports or birds..

It's out of production but you can pick them up reasonably cheap at times...Here is a Ken Rockwell review, What he says in it is pretty much spot on..

I don't think so the 70-300d can,t hold a candle to the 300mm F4 I believe you have your lens mixed up.

Not bad Patrick, but you can get the 55-300 AF-S VR all day on Amazon for $399. I got mine for my D3100 for $249 including expedited shipping on Amazon, about this time last year. I just wish I hadn't included it in with my D3100 when I sold it last week. (what was I thinking :chargrined: )
