Decisions, decisions!
Right, later this year I turn 40 - there, said it, feel better already! Better still, I have convinced 'her, who must be obeyed' that I need a D300 with MB-D10 and a couple of batteries.
The plan, I think, is to go to NY for a few days and get one there. The question bothering me is: Is the saving in price worth the loss of warranty? I have a good mate in NY who, if something went wrong, I could ship the camera to, however, this could be no end of hassle.
The price for the above, plus a 8Gb CF card equates to just less than £1300 from BandH. I may be able to get away with a smaller card - this is starting to add up!
Has anyone been to the US and bought camera gear from there? Did you have any problems bringing it back into the country? Where did you buy from? Any recommendations?
Thoughts appreciated.
