When members have 50 meaningful posts or more and have been around for a while then the bargains that are available here are even better than the prices you've quoted :) One of the many things that makes this place so great!

What currency are thos prices in?

D200 body, through this site, is cheaper than what you're quoting, if they're Pacfic Pesos.

I'm guessing Australian dollars (since a dollar symbol was used, and seems the most likely).

Good luck with that! They are basically bullet proof... even continuous shooting for 50 000 frames and you'll struggle to break one :D

id tend to agree with sirhc55, although you paid more its much more comforting having a local waranty!
