HK vs AU shopfront (like Ted's) for D200
Posted: Wed Nov 29, 2006 11:33 pm
I am on the verge of placing an order for a D200.
Wondering if anyone can share thoughts on my line of thinking. I can get a D200 from a shop like Ted's, with AU warranty, and 45 day returns policy (no questions asked), for a premium of about 25% over an international supplier.
I'm thinking for the $400, I get the piece of mind of easy store returns, in case I get a bad batch D200, or have techie issues. I like the idea of buying glass from overseas, as it is not a piece of electronic wizardry, but thinking it makes sense to pay the premium for the dSLR body...
am I thinking straight, does it make sense?
The other side of my brain says that the $400 is better spent on another lens, or other items for the kit...
