D40 price drop

[GordonCopestake]

Jessops seems to have dropped the price on the D40+18-55 lens kit.

£339 which is a bargain really for a brand new DSLR. These things are coming down in price all the time.

These things are coming down in price all the time.

Bound to happen really - won't be long until we see a decent £299 DSLR, then £199, etc, etc.

Seems to be a pattern that's repeated over and over...

D40 price dropped because Nikon released D40X.

http://www.dpreview.com/news/0703/07030602nikond40x.asp"]The new Nikon D40X is essentially identical to the D40 apart from its ten megapixel CCD, a lower base sensitivity of ISO 100 and faster continuous shooting (now up to 3.0 fps)
