Nikon completely messed up the pricing of the unit, atleast up here in Canada.
$749.95 D40 Kit with AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 G ED II Lens $999.95 D40 Kit with AF-S DX Nikkor 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 G IF-ED Lens
wtf? Are they seriously trying to come up with a new internet joke or something? The D50 kit with 18-55 is only a couple dollars more, and even the D70 is just a tad over 1k with 18-70. Hell, the D70 should be even cheaper than that now. There's no way a newcomer to DSLRs will spend that money when they could get the D70 - hell, even an XTi, in and around the same price.
