I'm interested in photography and gonna buy my 1st camera but I'm wondering if anyone knows any good sites to buy from ??

Has anyone had any trouble with technodigital.com?? They have an awesome deal on a Nikon D40x.
https://www.techondigital.com/product.asp?productid=9421&tab=1
If I don't buy there then I'll have to sette for just a D40

if that's the case, has anyone used these sites?? very good deals there too!

If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

If you google "review techondigital" you will see they are bait and switch artists..

If you are in the states, best to deal with adorama or b&h

If you are in Canada, best to deal with vistek or henrys

Anything cheaper than this bunch usually means gray market, bait and switch, or fraud.

Holy crap thanks man, I was so close to buying off techondigital! Glad I posted here, for some reason I didn't think of googling it. Thanks for the link. Vistek has a good deal on a D40 so I'll probably get that.

Happy New Year!!!!
