    Bargain D70S?

    I'm thinking of buying a digital SLR camera and found a refurbished Nikon D70S with lens for £438 delivered.

    http://www.cameraworld.co.uk/ViewPro...%20Refurbished

    The next cheapest price I could find was £529 at Amazon so it looks like a good deal.

    Any opinions? Would I be better off waiting for the January sales?

    Depends how much nerve you have.

    If you can find a camera store that has had a slow week, or better still a slow January, and a salesman who is desperate to meet is quota you could easily get a very good deal.

    yes, but its a refurb.
    I've got a friend who has bought 2 Nikon refurbs both of which he ended up returning (Nikon even had 2 goes at fixing 1 of them & it still wouldn't work properly).
    He'll no longer touch anything Nikon.
