To think i was going to buy a D60...

This is my first body. Paid £500 for it, really mint condition the only marks are a few light scratches on the protector screen. I bought this from a helpful local shop with 6 months garantee.
Although i cant buy a lens till next pay day, i am going to hire one from lensesforhire for a week as soon as they email me back.

The joys of new gear! :D
 
well i guess you have a box instead of a bag! nice purchase.
 
Don't you just hate impulse buying?! You're going to love it though and it should be well worth the extra. I have two :D
 
If you are married I wouldnt be telling the wife in a hurry. Then again she might notice as you'll be eating cabbage and beans for the next week
 
I can see the scene now..... "Yes dear it came free with the bag...... honest.... it did..... ouch!! sorry love ouch!!!!" Nice purchase BTW, Enjoy as I'm sure you will ;)
 
haha no i wont be having any problems with a wife.... at the age of 16 :D
I won't even have to hire a lens now, my uncle has said he can lend me some!
 
Congratulations Magnum ... :clap: ... a great buy and you'll absolutely love it ... :suspect: ... especially now you've got a lens to use ... :D


Now get out there and get snapping ... :shrug:






:p

The bag was going to be for a camera, which i would have been buying next month. But i bought a better one now instead.

Response to foodpoison. Just so everyone doesnt think im spoilt, i DO have a job, 16 hour week on top of full time education, with a lot of overtime! Hence the £500 pay day. I've earnt this, what a great feeling. ;)

I'm getting ready to leave for my grandparents house now. My grandad has a few lenses from his D50 that i can borrow, and my uncle is letting me borrow one on Saturday.

I would have paid up to £80 for a bag. I'll get one at a later date.
 
Good choice mate, the D200 is a fantastic camera :thumbs:

For £80 you could get a small bag to start with (£20-30) which will still be handy later on when you dont want to be lugging tons of gear about, and then when you have a couple of lenses get a decent sized photo rucksack (£50-60) for proper all day excursions.
 
Impulse buying is just the best when you get it right! Which I reckon you have here.
You love your purchase even more. :D
 
Thats one expensive camera bag - now go enjoy, there are a lot worse things to spend £500 on at 16 ;)

Good to see you haven't got it from mugging grannies! It's good to remember there are some teenagers willing to get off their a*ses and get a job :)

Well done fella, great camera (i love mine!)...wish i had an uncle i could "borrow" lenses off though :thumbs:
 
My how that takes me back.

I was interested in photography at that age but it took me many years to get to the stage where I had the disposable income to indulge myself.

Well done on earning it yourself, now go and enjoy and don't forget to show us too :)
 
i've done stuff like that before! and i wish i had that sort of money when i was 16! i was only on £50 a week at the age!
 
Strange looking bag. Enjoy it though.

I only got £25.26 when I was 16, not fair. Then my parents used to take £12 a week of me for board!!!
 
My first pay packet contained £4.15.6d. £2 of that went to the parents for board and lodge. Photography was done with a box brownie.

My god ! I'm now feeling my age. :gag:

Nice impluse buy Magnum. Now get out there and use it.
