Customer Reviews
like the package, but not the dealer
I am looking for just this package. The D40 looks to be an ideal first dSLR for me and the lenses cover most of the possible shoot scenerios I could come up with.
I did not have a good experience with the last purchase I tried to make with this company. Its making me take a pass on this package, but I hope other's match the D40 kit + 70-300 lens.
