If you want to get a f80 well youre in luck cos they got an offer for this camera body with a set of lets that I think would keep you occupies for the next 10 years. Set is available at southern cross (lucky plaza) with 28-200mm af zoom telephoto lens(7x zoom) cost 1488sgd, plus you get an sb-22 external flash, bag, tripod and some other good stuff. Take note tho.. the f80 has mediocre build quality and waterproofing, so ANY moisture is a no no!! Just had mine repaired for moisture(300++)from a trip to Borneo, and it wasnt even raining when i ws there!!!!! Good buy tho... its got most of what a pro needs, as long as you're not into sports photography
