As mentioned before it's a Nikon D40x. I only bought a single lens kit, the 18mm - 55mm AF lens. It was purchased at Harvey Norman.The only reason I bought it from here is because they price matched an online store who constantly have amazing deals. www.d-d-photographics.com.au . Their prices are miles below the big stores like Teds and Camera House and especially Harvey Norman. Remember, if you want to get a better deal there are to things you can do. (1.) Shop around and (2.) ask. Generally if they crap on about not being able to do any better... tell them to jam it, there is ALWAYS better!!! Photography is an expensive hobby to get into.
Back to the camera...
It's not a bad bit of kit. Actually I really like the camera a lot.
PROS for the camera...
It's light, 10.2 mega pixels, great colour, it's easy to use, built in help system so you can read what the changes you're making will do.
CONS...
No auto bracketing, no inbuilt sensor cleaning, compressed RAW.
MY TAKE ON RAW
I shoot all my photos in RAW. Why? It's the most original format. Like a negative, so no changes from the camera. JPEG is a compressed format and when you take a photo in JPEG, as it is being stored, the camera makes changes. It could be small changes or big changes depending on your settings and camera, but it will alter the file. Usually just things like a bit of colour enhancement and contrast tweaking. Also RAW files can be better manipulated in Adobe Raw. You have more control over the white balance and exposure once it's on your computer compared to JPEG. This can make you a bit of a lazy photographer... but I'm not that fussed!
