I am looking at buying an entry level DSLR and narrowed my options to Nikon D3100 or Sony alpha 33!
After some homework, I figured out this bargain (well i feel it is if everything works out well) for Sony alpha 33.
15% discount on Cameras at JB Hifi + $100 cash back from Sony = $1004.15 + if you haggle for camera pouch…..

Current price at JB Hifi: $1299 + ask for a deal(not sure whats on offer now)
PS: i am going overseas, so will try to get back the GST. If everything works out well, it should cost under $895
If you are looking for entry level DSLR's, try to consider the Pentax K-X. Very good specs and performance for the money. The CMOS is comparable to mid-level SLR's. The image stabilizer is in the camera body and not on the lens making the lens cheaper to buy. It also accepts lens from old pentax SLR models available in ebay for a fraction of the price of Nikon and Canon lenses.
