I was wondering if anybody thinks that the Nikon D40 will drop in price any time soon? I know it’s dropped a bit, but just wondering if I should wait a bit longer while the D90 just hit the shelves?

Cheers

Let’s talk in english here, before they get mad I hope it’ll be under 300k HUF with the 16-85.
Anyway, about the 16-85: much nicer range, I like the wide end, and gives a fairly good telephoto, and with twice the range, the same quality is really great, even though the quality of the 18-55 is questinonable regarding reviews i’ve looked at, but the 16-85 is almost excellent in sharpness all the way, wide open, and other defects can be easily corrected (CA, vignetting).

Upon the generally excellent reviews of the Canon 450, I went to B&H to check one out. I thought the build quality/feel of both the body & kit lens were really poor – it just felt like a plastic toy compared to any Nikon – even a D40. Of course this is subjective and it’s likely a solid unit but it felt & looked way too cheap to me. After about 1 minute of handling it I told myself to wait for the D90.

The question is, how much more than canons 450D (XSi in the US) can they charge? You can get that one for <700 dollars today, and the D90 isn’t really bound to be that much better..

other than build quality, the 16-85 isn’t much better than the kit 18-55 vr in terms of optics. yeah, the wider end is nice but it isn’t a bunch wider. the kit 18-105 will certainly be all plastic but i wouldn’t be surprised if it’s optically as good as the 16-85 – plus it should cost less. if the optics and size come close to the 16-85, i welcome the additional reach at a lower price point.

Well I also hope that there will be a 16-85mm kit because I’m not that optimistic that the default kit lens will be that great.

you still have a lot of reasons to be happy!
Here (Brazil) the price is usually 100% over the US price.
and the new stuff usually take 3~6 months to arrive here.

anyway, i'm hoping for something around 1100~1400 US$ @ US. hope it doesn't come much higher on thecountry where i buy it.

@SteMa that’s true. I’ll probably order it from Germany with 105 kit lens if I get it under 1100 EUR.

Látom honfitársak vagyunk... Én is nagyon várom a D90-et, mit gondolsz, mennyi lesz a bevezető ára?

Üdv Hofbrau

if it costs more than 1000 euros, I’ll probably be getting the D80

The sad thing is whatever it’ll cost, it will cost as much in euro as in dollar even though the dollar worth ~35% less. And the thing is, that in hungary the starting price will be 10% higher for a month, than the MSRP.
I hope there will be a price for both kit with the new lens (18-105) and the 16-85.
