Nikon D300s

Postby sirhc55 on Fri Aug 28, 2009 11:14 pm

The D300s is on the shelves at Best Buy in the USofA for a body only price of US$1799.99. But the interesting part is the D300 next to it complete with 18-55mm VR for $599.99 - that’s bloody cheap for a D300 :D

Well, that would be, were that the case.

The camera next to the D300s is the D3000, however.

I think that (US$1799) is less than the RRP for the D300 when it was announced.
