oh ah...
and above all, the street price is only $209. Magkano kaya to sa hidalgo... hhehehe

Dslr na lang ang bilihin natin kasi pabagsak naman ang price nila. Yung Nikon D40X nasa 25K na lang.

Wow. Mura na rin pala D40x. Nung October '07, nasa 22K yung D40 lang.

Yung A720IS, dami nagbebenta sa TipidPC. Around 15k, usually less. They claim it's brand new and has canon warranty.

Di ba ang D40X doesn't have an built-in focus drive motor which means it can auto focus only with lenses which have their own drive motor. Anybody for the price of lenses with drive motor? Parang mas mapahal pa yata tayo dito sa D40X na to, di nyo ba trip ang S5 1S ng Canon,  di lang sya DLSR di ba?
