Wow that's an amazing deal. I got a D90 when it was about 12k just for the body. In my kit I've got the D90 body, battery grip, D600 flash, 50 1.8, 18-200 VR, 18-55, bag, memory cards and that's probably cost over 20k :/

Very good camera and definitely worth it at that price.
No small children either obviously.

No, just abstract, landscapes, animals, experimental light.
I do not take pictures of people.

Yeah, my first.
My FZ38, is a capable walk-around, but becomes a PITA when shooting in P or S mode and having to menu dig to change settings, and it's low light performance is, well, what one can expect from a much smaller CCD sensor, not too good.

Thnx. Probably the biggest contributing factor in purchasing this bundle was the price. With most consumer electronics nowadays, whatever you purchase today will be replaced with a newer, "better" and probably cheaper model within a short span of time, personally, I could not ignore the D90 over the newer D5100, despite the D90 launching in 2008.
Hi guys,
I just purchased a Nikon D90, with 18-55, 55-200, 50 f1.8, with bag, memory card, photoshop elements and training voucher for R6999 brand new.
I know it's a dated camera, it was a toss-up between the D90 with three lenses or the newer D5100 with two lenses for R1000 more. I chose the D90 for the feel and size, hope I made the right decision, my first DSLR camera, coming from a bridge FZ38.
Hope to be participating in here and learning from the pros
Where did you get it from?
I'm looking to replace my D90 and that is an incredible deal.

He probably got it second hand. Check classifieds and this place: http://www.outdoorphoto.co.za/classifieds/

Nope, brand spanking new.
Most of the people putting up their old gear for sale are out of touch with reality pricing wise.
R5500 for a used Canon 550D with 18-55mm kit lens?!
R14000 for a used Canon 70-200mm F2.8 L USM MkI (new price is R11800)?!
Bargains or reasonable deals are few and far between.

That seems to be the price for a used one with IS ... maybe he/you forgot to add the 'IS' portion?

Why am I not suprised?
Dion Wired usually has the great deals. I bought a 23-inch LG LED IPS screen there this weekend past for R2k. It was one of the "best tech deals in SA" article here on MyBB last week. My poor Samsung was kiffing and I needed a replacement.
Also bought my mom's Canon IS30IX at Dion Wired - they had it for cheaper than anywhere else and their service is great. Unfortunately my Dion didn't have any D90s in stock when I looked.
I'm going to try my luck at the Nikon Demo Clearance sale this Friday. All my gear got swiped and I can't afford to replace it so I need all the specials and discounts I can find

Firstly, sorry about your misfortune. I bought the last boxed unit available at gateway, the demo was still there tho. Perhaps they can check on the systems for availability and ship it to your store?? For that price, will be worth the effort I reckon.

Also check incredible corruption, they had the same bundle for R7999.

I got the same package a year ago without the training voucher for R10k . . . so prices have dropped quite a bit.
Where will you doing the training?
I've just recently started a permanent IC boycott. They would have to offer it to me for free to get me to set foot in their store again. But thanks for the heads up.
I think many of us are like minded iro IC
Well, previously it was hovering between "disdain" and "loathing". Now it's passionate hatred. I don't like being angry, so the simplest solution is to pretend they don't exist. IC? Who is that? I know of no such shop.
IF such a store did exist, then they MIGHT have a D90 + 18-105 bundle for 9k, only available at 3 stores in places I would never be inclined to go anyway. Just sayin'.
