Here's my $400 recommendation:
1. Nikon FM2N: $150 if you know where you're looking
2. 50mm F/1.8 AI-S lens: $60 - again, look around
3. Vivitar 283: $15
5. 10 rolls of Kodak Gold 400: $30
6. Batteries: $10
7. 52mm UV filter: $15
8. Lens Pen for cleaning: $10
Total cost: $290
Which leaves you $20 to cover shipping charges; $50 for film, scan, and print processing; and $35 for soda, popcorn, and tickets to take your significant other to the movies for 2 excruciating hours of "Sex and the City 2." Also, you got $5 to spare.
If you drop this camera, no worries - the thing is better built than anything on the market today. Since you got a flash and a fast lens, you won't have to throw away $50 on a plastic tripod you'll never use anyway, and also you'll be getting better tonality and dynamic range because it's "full frame."
Letter to George
Dear Mr. Johnston, Thank you for your response attempting to assist me in my Nikon purchase. However, I find your recommendation preposterous and extremely strange coming from a so-called expert. First of all, the D700 at $2,450 is far beyond my budget, which I told you is $400, and way too much...
