Craiglist sale for Nikon D3100 with 1,300 shutter count with 18-55mm,55-200mm VRs bought last xmas for $600? Sorry if this didnt need its own thread.. mods can close it if so

 

I believe a new one goes for 600 with a kit lens

 

yeah, just sold me d40, looking at this as an upgrade sorta..

 

my*

 

Bought one for $599 new with the kit lens.

 

So i guess both of you are saying 'not a good deal'?

 

The 55-200 goes for $220, so You're looking at $820 brand new, $600 used. It's really you're call. I don't have experience buying used, so I can't say one way or the other. Sorry

 

Yeah, thanks. Ill see how I feel when I go look at it again later.

 

i love saving money, but i hate the thought of buying a camera used...

like said, the kit sold out the store for $600... you can always buy another lens later.. but having a warranty and a piece of mind would be worth it to me.

now if the price was $400

 

He had averything that goes with it, blank warranty cards, Receipts box bags.. and the shutter count i got myself when i took the Exif off a pic. ...hmm its seem like ive made up my mind myself well see what i do when i go look at it again.. hah but its good to get you guys opinions on it tho. thanks-

 

Caved in and just bought it...


Have not had a chance to really go out and take pics...
**Edit. thanks everyone for the input either way..hah

 

nice sample pics!!!

you'll love the cam!

 

I may be in a similar situation as the OP....however if given the choice (price being nearly the same...and same camera conditions) would you go with a Nikon D3100 or Canon 2Ti?

 

2Ti?

 

^^ meh...typed to fast.

 

D3100 is has better lowlight IQ than the Rebel line.

 

pretty darn close, but the 3100 does show a better rating in the ISO dept.

Those are just numbers. There's a couple videos on youtube (which I can't find right now), that show just how poor the Rebel sensor is when it comes to lowlight and shadows.

 

Cool...thanks
