I dont see better deals at Costco, but Costco doubles your warranty to TWO YEARS folks. Considering I have a D40x that just blew a shutter at 39k images, I think I would enjoy that added protection (for free)…

Picked up the D5000 kit today as well as the 55-200mm VR lens from Ritz. They also included a nikon bag. Out the door I paid $1044. So far, I’m really liking the camera, going to be putting pics up on my deviant with it this week.

Put up a video of the camera shooting an Osprey and chick. I could only get the ‘82 Manual Focus Vivitar 400mm lens on the RRS head with this camera so it through off the metering. Will have to figure something else out.

Vimeo version is here:

The vimeo version looks very washed out to me. So… Original file is here:

Thanks for the info – I must have missed that. Was it on dpreview? Was it an isolated incident? Send some links please. Thanks.

For people who have vision problems have a harder time and a longer time focusing (even with the glasses). It’s okay really, but when you’re shooting something that can’t be controlled (events, etc), I just don’t have that luxury of time to focus my lens.

Confirmed, it has the exact same Interval Shooting menu as my D300.

does this have the intervalometer built in as it says on dpreview? Or is it an error in the preview listing? I remember that they said it was on the D90 in their preview but when I checked it out in the shop it wasn’t there.

Why did you take it back? What was wrong with it?

Best Buy in Colorado today Had the D5000 lock-up. They couldn’t even find the battery so I was able to try it out. Still holding out for the 90 or 700

That doesn’t seem right. Should be $848 with the 18-55VR, that’s what I paid. You sure you arent confusing something?
