The online price is shown as £418, the instore price shown as £377. This iinstore price is the cheapest I can find for this camera and lens set. Bearing in mind, that their online prices are normally lower than their in store prices, is this a mis-price. If it is a mis-price, is there any chance they would hounour that price in store?

Not sure, but, as a D50 user, I'd be worried at the fact that they're trying to sell you a Compact Flash Card (at a STUPID price) when it takes SD cards - PC world summed up really IMO.

Yeah the image does show a compact flash card but it does say SD on description ( not that I would buy it at that price).

Anyway, d50 not in store at any of my local shops.

excuse my ignorance, but shouldn't the d50 be considerably less than the newer d40, which is under £400 most places?

In comparison with the D40, the D50 is bigger, will work with more lenses and has a better meter; the D40 has a bigger screen and colour exposure histograms. The D40 is a newer, lightweight budget model but there is no more than personal preference in features to choose between them.

Personally if I had £400 quid to spend, and I didn't own any lenses, I'd be hunting round for a good deal on a canon 400d.

To answer the original question I believe currys are also selling it for £377 so I don't think it's a mistake - why not give your local shop a ring?

Argos - bosh (379) - would recommend the D50 camera.
