You lot are REALLY not helping lol

I would always prefer new for a body, just for the peace of mind. Lenses etc I don't mind going second hand for.

My D40 was killed, RIP, and pretty much every thing I had with it, as such I had set my self up to replacing it with a D90, however finances had stopped me from splashing out. I am now in a position where I can buy, however the D7000 is on the scene and from what I can see its a superior...
