Is this a good price for a D90?

I found a brand new Nikon D90 with the kit lens 18-105 for $719, that's a good price yes?


One last thing...I really want to add the sigma 30mm lens (for low light) to this kit but havn't had luck staying under my price range. However I found the 35mm is a lil cheaper. Will the results be the same in low light with this lens? I'd LOVE opinions on these 2 lenses?

Where is that from?

Amazon and BHphoto have it listed $1199. Those two are usually the cheapest amongst the reputable suppliers.

is it used or refurbished?

I actually saw a kitted D90 (open box) at best buy last week for 699. I asked the guy to take it out and it looked great. Seriously looked like a soccer mom bought then her husband or other way around said you paid what ?!?!?!?

That's a killer price for new.

As far as 30mm vs. 35mm. I assume you are talking about the 35mm f/1.8. The Sigma 30mm is f/1.4 so you will get that extra stop for low light.

I use the 35mm /1.8 with a D90 and have gotten some pretty good results on dark rides. I haven't used the Sigma, but I think it's an all around sharper lens than the Nikon, considering it costs more, it should be!

In my signature there is a link to my flickr page, most of the newer dark ride shots are with the 35mm and D90, to give you an idea.
