that's a GREAT STEAL. what's wrong with it though? haha
 
^The memory card door is loose, but that wont effect it at all will it?

he was originally selling the camera and lens seperately for 175 and 50 but I got him to lower it to 175 for both.

does the camera still function properly? is it going to break off soon? if it doesnt bother you, go for it!
 
^It shouldnt break off unless I hit it or something, just loose.

And as long as the memory card stays in I could care less about the door?

Exactly how much are D40s with the 18-55 lens going for nowadays?
 
NT, since we're on the topic.. What are your thoughts on he D40 for $299.99. It's at Circuity City and I believe only the display is left. Deal? Orhold off?

Thanks in advance.

if the door doesnt close, then im not sure if it will shoot or not. if it does, then i gues you dont have to worry about it. haha

if its the display bargain for a lower price... i personally wouldn't take the display tho... all #+#%+! up from people touching the lensinside and stuff and just playing with it.. at least the displays by me were messed up.. just my 2 cents..

Nah, I agree completely; That's why I've been so hesitant in acquiring. Truth be told though, I've never been a fan of buying off display, butI've been so antsy to finally get an DSLR, that I've been considering everything. Thanks again though, appreciated.
 
^ why thank you, go to my flickr, go to random ny, and you can see it bigger... and it looks better that way imo

I think it'll function just fine. In fact, depending on how long he's had the camera you might be able to get Nikon to fix it for you depending on howyou handle it. It's a great deal, but I would play eBay for a while. I got my D40X with the 55-200mm lens, a 1GB card, and the body with a battery (nocharger or 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens or manuals) for $279 shipped from an eBay based pawn shop. I bought a charger for $9.99 with free shipping and the 18-55mmlens for $109 with free shipping from adorama.com. Don't bother getting the 55-200mm unless it's the VR or I think there's a 75-300mm which leavesyou with only a 20mm gap. If you're just now getting into photography, go for it! If you've been working for a while and basically know your sh*t andjust don't have a dSLR, then I would look around more. Lenses cost more than that deal.

From my better-than-average knowledge about computers, I'd say that if you look around or take it to the right Mom'n'Pop photo store,it probably just needs to be wiped clean and have the memory and programming reformatted. I do it every few years to my computers and the come back good asnew! Either that or something happened that broke a chip inside and then you're just screwed. You can always sell it on eBay AS IS to some 14 year oldcomputer genius. Sorry about the 40D, but it looks like you got some great friends/family to get you a new set-up.

edit: It looks like you were just playing with the new camera, but it shows that you used auto WB for all the shots. If that's not the norm for you thencool. If you usually shoot with auto WB, then that would explain why in your shot of the kitchen the walls aren't really any shade of white-- more of ablue/yellow. Anytime you have a white wall, you can set your WB pretty easily by taking a picture of the white wall (or anything white for that matter) andsomewhere on your cameras menu (I don't know for Canons) you should be able to use that picture to set the WB.
