Just found this on Best Buy not sure if you guys we're aware. But this is a great deal for a great body.

I'm thinking about picking it up as a second body but I know my wife will kill me.

    Well, I'm seeing a "sold out online" now. Guess the 2 or 3 they had for this promo went rather quickly... :D

    I might make myself sleep on the couch for this....

    *points at updated signature*

    btw, the 18 month no interest Best Buy credit card approval did NOT help the decision..... opps. mwink.gif

    However, this ALSO means I can safely send in bodies for maintenance (the D50 and D300 need it) without running short. And get 'the boy' shooting photos as well with one of the spares. thumb.gif

    FYI, they still have them on sale! backordered 1-2 weeks, but given the price this is NO surprise.

    I went ahead and purchased one from Best Buy as well. Hard to turn down for that price. Sold my D80 combo for $600 locally so other than buying a grip it was pretty much a wash :) Hurray for slickdeals!

    "Swinton Photo Guy" made me do it.
    My fellow D-grinner (and brother) Swinton Photo Guy made me do it...

    I bought the D200 and a Tamron 17-50mm to go with it.

    I caved to temptation... bowdown.gif

    UPS brought me a package today....Yep it's my brand new D200. WOW! What a difference from my D40X. I've not had a chance to take any photos with it yet. Hopefully this weekend I will get out for a shoot.
    Now get a load of this, I placed the order on March 2nd, it was delivered on March 4th. Then I get an email from Best Buy telling me that they are sorry for the shipping delay and that they credited my account the shipping charge AND sent me a $10 internet coupon to use at bestbuy.com.

    Ok, I am a little late, and may not be the same price you guys got yours for, but still a good deal at Best Buy. Mine got ordered today and should receive it Friday or Saturday. I am so excited I can't hide it!
