Hello All,

I am new to the world of Digitial photography. My old P&S Canon A70 died and decided to upgrade to my first real camera on Friday, a Nikon D60. I am very excited to learn and start taking photos that are actually compelling. Thank you for having me. ;-)

I had done some casual research over the last several months and this model seems to fit the bill perfectly for me. (Just getting started, looking for better quality pictures than a P&S, but is not shooting for National Geographic, but still wants to get creative)

I went shopping this weekend on Black Friday. I went to BB and saw that they had a package deal. This package included the d60 with 18-55VR, 55-200VR, a nikon camera bag, and an instructional video. I also purchased a san disk ultra II 8 GB memory card for "half price"

This total purchase price was 790 dollars.. It also received 18 months no interest. It was a very exciting moment to say the least. I was really giddy. My wife even offered to help me with the purchase as my Christmas gift. So, Im sold and plunk down my BB card and walk out a happy camper.

I felt safe buying the camera from BB, because I would not have to worry about internet vandals et al.

Now the family as asking me about my Christmas wish list, and obviously I am thinking accessoris for my camera, so I log onto Ebay and my jaw literally dropped. I am seeing packages like this one.

Free shipping and roughly the same price. However, I get a little nervous. Will Nikon Warranty this camera? Is it not worth it because the accessories are crap? I do want a tripod, and the wide angle lense attatchemnts seem good to have. Hard case even! I feel a little remorseful about getting my camera at best buy now. Can anyone vouch for these ebay kits? How can they give you all this for the same price as what I just paid for a bare bones starter kit? Buying all these things al carte will be more expensive, but Im not sure if these kits contain jumk, but a tbasic tripod is a basic tripod correct? I do still have enough time to return my camera to BB if I choose, But I don't want to open a can of worms. I look forward to dialogue. Thanks!

Edit: Looked into the ebay kit a little further. It makes no mention of the lenses being VR. I thought the lense with the d60 come as standard with VR?
