Where do you get your D70? Cameta Camera anyone?

Gosh, buying a new camera, especially a Nikon D70 ( !! ) has got to be a very exciting engagement! But shopping around for the best deals can require a lot of time and patience. It surely helps to have others guide us toward the right way.

So I was wondering where everybody thinks would be a good place to purchase D70's? I've looked at Cameta Cameras; does anyone know anything about them?

They offer really big packages which include the camera, lense(s), and accessories, but which can sum up to great amounts. Do you think it might be better to get just a small package, like the D70 with the lense, then purchase the accessories separately (ie. getting different brands or from elsewhere) ? The packages as they are are really convenient obviously, but I don't know what would be the best way for a good bargain..

This pertains to what type of brand for the lenses (18-70mm, 70-300mm) would be good, as well, and whether I should purchase them both with the camera body. The compatible SB flash also- should it be purchased separately? The battery, a 1GB CF card, tripod, camera case, and at least one lense (18-70mm), are the basic needs that I can see for now...

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I bought mine at Wolf Camera, but I have only heard good things about Cameta. I think I've gotten a lens from them, but I've bought so much camera stuff I can't remember.
