Fabulous Digital SLR camera body (updated)

http://besthdelectronics.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=608

This is an amazing camera. The Nikon D300 was truely awesome and is about £400 more than the D300s which superceded it. You'll have to get the lenses with it but this camera shouldn't be that low in price. It's pretty much professional quality and will take High Definition movies.

I appreciate that £879 is not exactly cheap but if you know and love your cameras and are looking for a wonderful DSLR, I'm sure you'll find this helpful!

FYI, this price is about £250 cheaper than I can find it anywhere else (brand new) and I've tried quite hard!

    Yes, I looked at that but you have to purchase a Nikkor lens at the same time as the camera (lens has to be £400+) and send the receipts off to Nikon to get another £200 worth of cashback. So yes, it's a good idea but I'm not sure that the website has a great range of lenses.

    In fact, they don't seem to have any individual Nikkor lenses for sale at all.

    A quick look around that website rings some alarm bells, its really cheaply knocked up and amateurish.

    There is NO telephone number or physical address visible either.

    My personal opinion would be not to spend £8.79 there, let alone £879.

    Thanks. I was wondering about this because they didn't seem to have any card security or anything.

    Somewhere like DNS Stuff, then just enter the address.

  • If anyone is actually interested, the next best price I've found is on Simply Electronics (Quidco cashback also):

    http://www.simplyelectronics.net/mainproduct.php?pid=7349&setcurrency=gbp

    They've got some excellent Sigma lenses at reasonable rates too on there - or you could do the Nikkor cashback thing and still get Quidco cashback.
