I am looking for a used DSLR at a good price. Preferably this would be a Nikon D40-50-60-70-80. The reasons why I prefer Nikon is that I wont to buy the Nikkor 35mm 1.8AF AF-S DX as my primary lens.

I got a Nikon D70s with the 18-200 VR lens. Bought the body about 3 years ago in HK and the lens a year and a half ago in Japan. I really never took much pictures with it unless on vacation (reason why I'm thinking about selling). Therefore condition is very good.

I can't PM so please just contact me directly with reasonable offer:

p.s. I also want to sell the lens with the body. It's a terrific lens anyway, here's a review:

Ohia, I sent you an e-mail. I don't want the body but I'm interested in the lens. Let me know.

I passed on the first two so I am still looking...

Ideally I am hoping someone will have a Nikon D60 or D80. I should also mention I am comparing prices to what I see on slrclub.com (popular Korean website for selling cameras used with no middleman).

Looking for one myself, and from looking around at Yongsan/Namdaemun, it seems like you can get a new D80 for a little under 700,000. One guy said 680,000 with a basic lens, and I'm sure you can get a slightly lower price with cash in hand, ready to buy.

Don't know if that's too expensive, but it seems pretty comparable to the deals on slrclub.com (thanks for sharing that site though).

Just thought I'd give a heads up.

BTW, I'm a beginner and this would be my first SLR. Would a Nikon D90 be excessive? I'm only considering it because I don't want to have to upgrade in a year or two, but it's nearly twice as expensive as the D80.

I have seen 500-550 for a used D80 body on slrclub.com
A d90 is nice if you also want to have the ability to shoot video but its definitely more than most people would want or need in their first DSLR.
