    Great video.

    Congratulations, girl, and great photos

        That should be a Master Card commercial: “Suprising a loved one with D90?…. Priceless”.

    thanks admin… i’m preparing the answer now to the question the wife might throw me “where did you get the money to buy this D800?”… i guess i’ll just have to figure out something… like love… that answer is never too shallow, i think….

      Love for the camera or love for your wife? Love for the camera may be a little too shallow! You could always buy it for your wife and just happen to borrow it on a more than regular basis!

  8. Posted April 15, 2011 at 9:10 pm | Permalink

    I was alot less excited when i got my D90 last year, tho it was a cheerful moment. I guess if that was a D3s for me than I’ll be just the same. LOL.

    Talking of unboxings, admin/Peter do you know of any announcements on the 13th of May…the day after the 2011 financial results are made public ?

    • Posted April 16, 2011 at 12:34 pm | Permalink

      No, nothing so far. Nikon usually schedules their press events 2-3 weeks in advance. That 50mm f/1.8G seems to be ripe for a release.

          In some countries/languages a period . is used instead of a comma, which is what we use in the EnglishUSA.

          For example:
          English: $9,000 vs. Spanish: $9.000

    She got excited for a Nikon D90!!! IF someone gave me a D90…I would through it to the wall..WAIT..i mean sell it double on Ebay!!! She got excited about a D90. They make a D7000 that runs circles around this D90.

    Where’s my D800…OR D4? LOL

        Cirtap wins the oblivious citizen award.

        This video made me smile, but also made me feel guilty. I haven’t been this excited about any gift (Nikon or otherwise) in a long time. I wish I had given my d90 away to someone who would have reacted like this instead of selling it for a paltry sum on FM.

    Oh so sweet…

    I love the thing that happiness does not necessary need to cost a lot. In a poorer country, the same thing can happen even with a basic point and shoot. But for many of us here, we will not be as excited/crazy about receiving a D3s/x (still excited, but not as much).

    Ah, that’s nice! Brings tears to my eyes actually. I guess he also got very lucky that night.

    I was about that happy when my D700 came, but a lot more restrained.

    “- EEEEEK! [KISS, KISS, AND WHAT THE HECK, ANOTHER KISS]
    - It’s a Dee Ninetee!” Made my day.

    I think it’s the only camera/Nikon that could cause a reaction of that kind. Just think how would it be if she got a D3X – “Are you insane!?!?!?”. D60? “Awww! Thanks.” Dee Ninetee FTW. Cheers!

    This vid is a little reminder that the simple things are most important. Whilst a D800 might seem very important, can anybody imagine being this excited about receiving one? If you have nothing, a D90 is a truly fantastic thing. If you have the cash to splash on a D800, take a minute to think how lucky you are that’s the case.

    Next time she can make the video and then add some snaps. I do hope she gets a strap on the body soon!
