Advice Buying a DSLR

[SpanishFry]

I'm looking to buy a Nikon D50 DSLR as my first "serious" camera. Is there anything wrong with buying it from an eBay listing like this?

D50 Kit

-New
-Has the Nikon USA warranty, then an extended
-Nikkor 18-55 lens

cord camera is a real photo store, so no, probably no problem whatsoever.

check Cameta Camera's auctions too. before the recent price cuts, i got a new d50 with kit lens, carrying bag, memory card reader, and a few other accessories for $600. cheaper than anywhere else i could find. also a great company to deal with

EBAY is pretty good, but I got mine on Amazon for 615 shipped and it is a reputable company and if anything goes wrong with it I can at least speak with their customer service. Check out Amazon and see how low their price is now.

Cord Camera is our local photo store in Columbus. They are a great shop.

I usually recommend B&H Photo but this looks like a pretty good deal and with all the positive posts I'd go with Cord Camera. I did see a couple D50 kits at B&H for under $600 but they had 28-80mm lenses not the wide 18-55mm lens this has. I don't really know how the cheap Nikon lenses stack up though. I'm a Canon fanboy.
