I'm finally upgrading to a dSLR and I'm thinking of buying a Nikon D40.

Here's what I'm thinking of buying:
http://www.wolfcamera.com/product/SLR1172.htm

Is is a good deal, or should I get something else?

Also, can anyone recommend any accessories to go along with it? (flashes,etc.)

Thanks in advance. :]

Price looks good.

The lenses are great, especially the 55-200 VR.

Throw in the SB-600 flash and a StoFen Omni Bounce (a diffuser which fits on the flash) and you're on your way to pro-quality shots.

HTH.

Ah, I wish I had that camera. I'm stuck with my Nikon P50 I got for Christmas. It's not that bad. But anyway.
I think it looks pretty swell.
Good luck, whatever you buy. Photography is my life.

before buy such electronics, always check rumors to see if there's said to be a product shipping soon that will replace it.

That is a pretty steep price. If you google "Nikon D40 Body" you can find the body of the camera for about $300. I do not know your expertise on the matter, but the D 40 is a sweet camera for an entry lever DSLR. The reason for the price difference on WOLF to the other googled websites is the lenses. I'm assuming WOLF is selling you Nikon lenses which would account for the $500 price difference. I recommend, if you do not know too much on lenses to just buy the body and buy a "generic" lense, which until you become pro will be more than enough. Also try checking Ebay stores, they have really good deals, and you can score some more gear for the same (or lesser) price that you would get from WOLF.

Currently at samys.com, the actual store is offering with a normal Nikon lense; a Nikon D49 body for $500.00 and a factory refurbished model for $400.00. Unfortunately, the Nikon 75-200 lense offer at Wolf is not a bargain and currently it's a $150.00 option via a special Nikon offer which lasts through January 31st. The two Nikon lense starter kit sells for around $650 at samys.

Good luck!
