On Amazon: Nikon D40 for $475 + 55-200 VR Lens for $190 = $665 -$100 Instant amazon rebate = $565 shipped for D40 and two lenses. Good deal? ---

I ended up getting my D40 for $512 shipped, with a 1GB SD card, monopod, cleaning kit, camera bag and lcd protector. Then PayPal gave me $50 cash back two weeks later with this promotion they were doing, for a total of $462. I thought this was a great deal compared to what I had seen after looking for several weeks so that amazon deal seems like a steal. ---
