Broadwayphoto and others like them are frequently reported by customers to pull bait-and-switch maneuvers. Check out http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Broadway_Photo

Broadway Photo is a RIP OFF!I ordered a D80 with an 18-200 lens from them last summer. They call you and try to sell you add ons and then if you won't buy them tell you the camera is out of stock. Well I bought some add ons, when the camera came it had a 50mm lens instead of the $600+ lens I had ordered. I finally go ahold of them and said they would "see" if it was in stock. When I just returned the product they charged my credit card $200 shipping and handling. What a rip off!

Broadway photo is a scam. There are others like it, express camera.com, etc. If you see any of the DSLR cameras listed for anything other than full price (or very, very close) it is a bait and switch scheme. Do not fall for it. You must pay full cost (or close) to get these cameras. No shortcuts.

please check with better business bureau about this outfit before even thinking of using them.

Broadway Photo states that many of their products are "imported/grey market" merchandise which do not have the manufacturer's warranty. Instead they provide the warranty directly. Other sellers of grey market products will try to fool you by saying the camera comes with a USA warranty. This is not the same as a NikonUSA warranty. They are either covering the warranty themselves or have a third party provide the warranty coverage. For such a sophisticated piece of equipment like the D300 I think I would only trust Nikon to take care of any problems.

Save you blood pressure, Eagle Joe is on the money. Also reseller ratings is a great resource for other online purchases. There are tons of threads and a few blogs dedicated to Brooklyn based bait and switch e-stores. Don't be fooled by the very well designed pages, even the BBB certificates. Check them out and remember the advice your momma gave you, "if it sounds too good to be true, it is."

Hi, I never had the D3200...so I could not tell. I got the Nikon after using an Olympus and I can tell the colors are more vibrant and the shutting speed (sports) is way faster. I'm no expert so I would suggest you do some research online in order to compare the 2 Nikon cameras. :)

Gosh no I don't know. All I know is that the P300 has bad optics and that the Nikon service department intentionally lies to its customers. I switched to a Sony camera and I get much better pictures with that in a smaller form factor at about half the price.

A word about the D800. I downloaded the 20 megabite sample jpeg image files nikon provides and tried my hand at working with them in photoshop and Topaz filters. I see some color banding in the shadows, hmm? Has any one else tried working them?The other thing is that I noticed is with 36mp images at 20MB's your post processing times to slow to a crawl.

Debbie,B&H; photo is still giving the Nikon discount. http://www.bhphotovideo.com Their price for the d3100 + 18-55 AF s DX VR kit, plus the 55-200 AF S DX VR is $718.00 This is $20 higher than the Amazon price, but right now, they are out of stock, and as I stated above, I don't think they are honoring the discount any longer. Put the d3100 in your cart, then to the left you will see various lens discounts listed. Toward the bottom, you will see "save up to $100" on select lenses. The "VR" version is $119 and the non VR is $79. Good Luck!

I compared the Canon SX30is with the Nikon P100, and the Nikon CLEARLY won when I was comparing image quality. I returned the Canon, and when I found out the P500 was being released, I also returned the Nikon P100 and will patiently wait for the P500. Where did you get your Canon? Some places have a 90 day return policy (Sams).

I too have my heart set on the d300. I would have purchased it already if I had not also heard the rumors of the price drop with the release of the d300s. I hear it could go as low as $1200! I'm going to wait it out a couple more weeks but I don't think I can hold out any longer than that!

There is no comparison between D3100 or even D5100 and the D600. I had the D5100 before and I upgraded to the D600. It is just marvelous... except that little dirt problem, I had to return it for cleaning up at Nikon, I hope I won't have to do it very often.

I upgraded from the D90, haven't used the D3100. I'd expect it's a good upgrade as the D3100 has been upgraded twice. I think waiting at least ntil the second upgrade makes sense as the next upgrade is more incremental than revolutionary. I think you'll like the D7100. I find it easier to operate and use thatn my D90 even though I had it 3 years. Have fun shooting with whatever you choose.

I really don't know but know that we are so happy with the s6300 as it has twice the settings as the older Nikon we had & even the zoom works better as it does not get all blurry. It also takes outstanding videos & the sound is very good. I would always buy one from Amazon Prime as when we bought one from someone else they did not back it up as well as Amazon does & would not even pay the postage back and the camera did not even work from the moment we got it.

Well the D5100 cost more so it is a better camera. The main thing is the D5100 use the D7000 sensor, which is best in high ISO and lowlight over any other APS-C dslr (that include any canon like the T3i 60d, even 7D which all used the same old sensor). It has a swivel screen over the D3100. It is a little faster in continuous shooting at 4 fps vs 3 of the D3100, not really a big deal. Otherwise from the major reason here it is the same in a lot on most other specs.http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond5100/page22.asp

Thanks for the comments. I actually bought D3000 and am pretty satisfied with it too.

I would check the actual Nikon website for any specifics, but we didn't see anything that jumped out at us when we purchased this camera. We went with a "normal" SDHD card, and did the 32GB since it was for our daughter and she tends to snap away. Brand wise, we did Lexar (Platinum) since that's what we've been using in our DSLR for a couple years without any complaints or issues...

The selling point was the 24.1 MP picture size. The D5100 had a few more features, but every review site that I went to said the pic quality between the two are virtually the same. It is an entry level camera that won't break the bank. So far I have been very pleased with the performance and picture quality.

Because Amazon is changing.... It used to be my default online store to buy stuff, even they are a little more expensive occasionally. Now they started charging 8% sales tax in CA. That's a deal breaker when I'm buying the D600+24-70mm lens because I'd have to pay $300 for tax. I bought from B&H, no tax no shipping.

My first DSLR was a D3000. It actually was the perfect starter. I find the D7100 to be a little more intricate in its functions. If I were you, I would start with the 5200/5300, it will get your feet wet without overwelming you.

Hi I am using 18-300 with D 7100. Results are amazing. Check out the site of Ken Rockwell. Its very good for reviews and compatibility questions like this. ~ menon
