I finally gave in today. I took the advantage of Microsoft Live 25% cashback as well as Ebay's 10% off coupon and purchased the Nikon D90 body. From the technical side, I read a number of reviews - Kenrockwell.com, Nikonians.org and many other sites. They all seem to like this camera a lot and it is a huge upgrade from its predecessor - Nikon D80. The MSRP for the camera is $999. I ended up paying $620 after a $200 Microsoft Cashback and a $90 Ebay coupon. The eBay seller's price for this camera body is $899+$21 shipping.
Here is a list of reasons I bought this camera:
- Test Nikon system with my Canon 40D
- Taking adavantage of the High ISO (up to 6400) performance under low light
- Upgrade from my D40 (which is still a great camera, I intend to keep it)
- Take advantage of great Microsoft and Ebay discount (This may be gone ANY day)
- Take advantage of my exisiting 18-200 Nikkor VR lens. This will be a great combination for light travel
I am very excited now and can't wait to see the camera soon. More when I receive the camera...
