So I'm looking for my first DSLR and after reading some reviews, seems like the nikon d40 is the best option for an amateur non serious person like me who is going to be taking pictures of just regular moments and some semi-serious car shoots. What I can't figure out is how much I should pay for one? People have told me not to pay retail price like as in Best Buy but it's listed for 469.99$ and other websites are around there...so should I just go ahead and get it for 470 at best buy and save myself a couple of days or is there anywhere else I can get it for cheaper? I'd prefer not used since just like a used car, you'll never know what it's been through.
