    Haha!! I like that Khalid!!

    I used to shoot with a L98 rifle with .22 Full metal jackets!! Great stuff!! I also shot an RAF issue .22 Snipers rifle, but that sounded like a pop gun!! Still Deadly accurate to 2 miles!! Anyhow, drifting WAY off topic there!!

    I forgot to mention earlier that I used to be able to take Macro shots with my wifes Fujifilm S5000, but the sensor has stopped working on it!! Gutting!!

    Cheers

    Glad to see some Nikonians on here... Have a D90. Most of the time has an 18-200mm attached. Also have the kit 18-55 and a 50mm f1.8. Have the SB600 flash and the battery grip as well so camera looks pretty mean when fully kitted out. Need a better tripod tho, the hifi corp R300 cheapy really REALLY sucks... Would love a macro lens but the 105mm which would be ideal is 10k+ :( Sigma 105mm is about R6600

    The D90 has actually dropped in price a bit. Think game/makro were selling it for about 10.5 with 28-200 or something. When I bought cheapest was 12.5 for the body alone.

    That's not bad at all. Got my D80 body for 10k (lens excluded) and now it looks like they no longer make it... damn :( See the D90 is going for R9495.00 at Orms now (just the body though)

    Haha!! You think thats bad?? Try my 5D.... Body Only R25,000 when new, thankfully I got mine on a deal in the UK, when i was on a return trip visiting family!! Still, cost me around R20,000 still!!

    Then add on the Lenses and the battery grip (R4000 alone!!)... it soon works out rediculous ammounts!! Cameras are insanely expensive in order to kit out properly!!

    Cheers

    At least you could claim back the taxes on that R20000

    Big G, for that camera, it's a great price. Honestly, I think the 5D is a brilliant camera :) Nice find there though.

    So true hey :( Sad really... oh well, we make do with what we have :D

    Nah, I can't claim the taxes back, as I'm from the UK originally, so its one of those awkward coming through customs jobbies!!

    Aah... That's the other problem with cameras and nowadays even lenses... You check how the prices dropped on the 70-200mm f2.8 vr/is lenses when canon and nikon both brought out version 2's?
