Some help with buying a used camera.

[planelove]

I never really introduced myself. My name is Nathan I live in New York but go to school in Baltimore so i spend a good amount of time there.
I was initially was interested in Bizjets but after spending alot of time here on nycaviation I have developed an appreciation for larger airliners. I also plan to start flying lessons in Sept.

I want to start to get into photography and a get a decent first inexpensive used camera and lens. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions and your thoughts on the links below.

Give Cameta Camera a call on the island...

They do D60 Nikon Refurbs for around $350... and sell brand new/nikon refurb'ed for pretty decent pricing...

That looks like a very good deal to me. I'd go for it.
