Re: Camera - Rethinking and Redoing options?

Well I was discussing about DSLRs with my uncle and what we talked about really made me re-think and re-do my options because I don't want to blow lots and lots of money on camera & lenses. He advised that I do all my shopping on Craigslist because there are so many noobies who under price their lenses, bodies (not human body!), flashes, diffusers, filters and what not... I was quite surprised that he bought every thing from Craigslist other than one of his Sigma 28-70MM f/2.8-4. Looks like I'll be purchasing a Nikon D70(s) because I've seen quite many that were severely under priced in a short time. With that extra cash, I can maybe purchase another lens or some other accessory like a bag. I plan on purchasing something similar to a Tokina/Sigma/Nikkor18-55MM f3.5-5, used of course and a 55-200MM f3.5-5. I thought about a f2.8 55-200MM but realized they're quite pricey and it'll cost close to a grand. Looks like I'll have major savings after expecting to spend almost 2k!
