Thanks for finding that deal Ken! I just took a look at my GF's Dad's Rebel XT for a little and it seems like it would do the job well. Maybe sometime next week I will go to a camera shop and compare the Nikons. I may also being selling my Nova which would put other cameras into my list as options, like the D80 So I will see how that goes.

@TGNL - I was just looking at Sigma lenses and I have been popping in and out of dpreview.com to see what people think. I do agree that lenses are more important than the body, now I just need to decide which lenses I need/want

@dmflex - damn, you had to go and throw another option into the ring . Unfortunately, it wont be economically feasible for me ATM since I need to make sure I have enough money for the trip.

I'm still considering the D200.. If I can get this dude at the photoshop to give me a low quote on a D200 18-200mm VR package so I can go to best buy and have them price match, I'll do it.

If I do go through with it, and if you'd like to buy my D50, I can hold on to it until you want to purchase..

just an idea

Yeah... only way to that lens with out having to wait months is with the D200 18-200mm kit or pay a $100+ markup.

Luckily Best Buy has a price matching policy and the dude at my local photo shop gave me a quote for $600 less than what Best Buy is charging.

The price match hasn't gone 100% through cause it was a weird order over the phone, but I should know by tomorrow morning. Now the only thing I'm worried about is if I'll get it before the wedding on Saturday at 2pm.
