OHHH JESSSSSSSSSSS.
Just bought my first DLSR thanks to some help from Litos:

+
Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II Lens

I've been trying to buy this thing for a while but its often sold out. Best part about it is the price. Bought it from Beach Camera, no shipping, no tax, and there's a current $250 coupon from Nikon if you buy a camera + lens. All for $1808.
I'm a newbie so i'm gonna be reading up on everything most of you already know. Was worried i wouldn't be able to get it before my trip to New York.
