Canned air?

Sweet guys, thanks! I am going to look at it today and see if I can get him closer to $300. Canon guy, if all else fails I am possibly interested in yours.

You never want to used canned air, reason being is canned still has liquid nitrogen in it that can escape. One of the best things you can buy for about $20 is called a Giotto Rocket blower

They really come in handy when cleaning dust off a lens or camera.

Excellent. Thanks. I owe you guys a drink. I don't think it comes with a case, so ill need to get one of those too. Do these take regular SD cards?

It'll take a Compact Flash memory card.

FYI.. Walmart has a Nikon D3000 with a carrying bag, lens, 2gb memory stick and more for $475... It has to be ordered though. I would jump on this but even over nighting it says it will be here tuesday/wednesday and ill be leaving wednesday.. To much of a risk.

So much for spending 300 bucks. I thought I was buying a D5000 but it was actually a D3000 and I love it so far. A lot of learning for sure.
