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!
i was thinking along the line “luv, this is our baby, we’ll take good care of her/him/it, together”… but i have to confess you have the vision of a prophet…
WOW!!!
One sweet and unexpected reaction – now, if he can get the camera away from his wife. Great to see such enthusiasm or even euphoria on the part of his wife. Guess what he is getting tonight … LOL!
Jabs you need to stop, there is people under 18 on NR reading your comments.
(I’m nice with my wife ALL THE TIME, that’s how I can own a $9.000 camera bag and still being alive)
I just purchased the AF-S 14-24mm F/2.8 G ED lens and showed it to my wife. How come she reacted in a totally different way? Anyway, congratulations to this new Nikon owner.
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.
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.
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).
“- 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.

D’aww.
I was SO hoping it was a BRICK inside hahaha.
Great video.
I think that’s what happened to me the same way when my D90 arrived
Congratulations, girl, and great photos
This is better than those I Am Nikon commercials…
for sure.
fo real;)
punssss
That should be a Master Card commercial: “Suprising a loved one with D90?…. Priceless”.
I want to get THAT exited again…… hopefully soon……. (please Nikon)
That is one sweet man, and one happy woman !!

THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF NIKON

Very Sweet
What’s that quote from Broadcast News?… “I say it here, it comes out there.” lol.
Man, what would she have done if that was a D3x?

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.
Indeed opening big brown boxes are one of the best moments in life.
WOW! Amazing that a camera can make someone this happy, thats why i love photography!
It should have been a D7000….
That said I wouldn’t like she ttook photos of me photos ever..
Wow you must be great at parties, Mr. Killjoy
Did you bother to look at the posting date for that video?!? You didn’t even have a clue what a D7000 was when this was posted originally.
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 ?
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.
LOL !
I wish my wife would scream and jump like that everytime I receive a new lens or camera !
Sure she will.. if she receives
When you get your D900, just show her the price tag, she will jump and scream like that for sure.

You own a $9 camera bag? High five for being frugal?
LMAO. And on top of it, I’m now imagining you high-fiving the Invisible Man!
ftw!
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
Yes, but the very visible man is typing in English.
@The invisible man:
Yeah – he is getting his picture taken tonight – WHAT ELSE were you thinking about?
lol.

LOL !
@ knekker: man, you need to relax……
I may be interested in buying her outfit before Christmas at half price probably with less than 500 actuations as a gift for my wife
First!
NAS claims another victim…..Looks like she’s lovin’ it though and will be for a long time…
candid
Makes me smile!
How awesome! That woman is ALIVE! I hope she has a ball with that camera.
That was a little over reaction over there
And what about all of us reactions when NR rumors will announce the D800/900 ?
I’m sure I’ll forget all my life’s worries for at last few hours !
NikonRumors is head of the announcements at Nikon? Is that why they were so fast with the 50mm/1.8G lens?
We should all have that kind of enthusiasm for as long as we live. What a great video.
Please may I second that suggestion.
Loved when hubby said “Don’t drop the damn thing!”………..ROFLMAO! I was thinking the same thing. I’ll bet hubby was even happier that night….WOO HOO!
Its not just the camera its the love and sacrifice thats behind the present. sweet guy!
Nikon is Love, the great D90, It’s a nice gift.

Haha. At least you lived to tell this tale! Congrats on your new lens!
I think she really loves you…:)
The acted the same way when my D90 came…..that video needs to get bought and me into a real commercial. ..nice
Thats so cute
)))

Where’s my D800…OR D4? LOL
At least it wasnt a D3000

This video is atleast more than 2 years old, it was posted on youtube at march 2009.
WAIT..I forgot..I have a Nikkor 35 1.4 G coming Monday….I will video tape my excitement…. ^____^
every Photographer, should have such woman in his life
Oh so sweet…

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.
because you was already thinking about the D800
Nikon makes happy people…
if my gf were so gratefull, I will certainly buy her more presents…
How come no one mentioned how funny the little girl was?
“OHHH my GASH MAMI”
“- EEEEEK! [KISS, KISS, AND WHAT THE HECK, ANOTHER KISS]

The lil girl is more interested in the packaging, lol.
I like that they have a cannabis-plant growing in the window
No wonder they were so happy, haha
Wellcome to the Nikon World!!! I hope you enjoy it! A big hug from Brasil!
I was not this happy when i got my d90. Should I? I think I should.

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