| Hi Alex,
Assuming you are in the US.
May I suggest a bit of legwork on Adorama or B&H Photo.
For $758 you can buy a NEW K200D (or K2000) with Pentax 18-55 and a Tamron Di 70-300. You could also buy a K200D body for $475 (new) and then add in a Sigma 18-200 ($287) which would make a very nice starter kit, and while I am not a big fan of superzooms, they have a place and are a viable alternative when starting out. I used a Sigma 18-125 in my early digital years and took many good shots with it.
This is going to be far, far superior to any second hand DS.
Think about it.
Cheers |
