Hello Kadath, have you gotten to film anything yet?

Cheers.

The D5000 arrived at the Ritz Camera store I work at! I did not get a chance to try it out, but the camera feels great!

Wow, you are probably one of the first people on earth to get one of those...

What a major mistake - don't people check things any more?!

"Eem ... no offence, but couldn't you feel that the weight of the box was too low?"

Even if he did, he'd still have to open the box to...err...find out why.

Kudos! Did you place it on the night stand on the first overnight - like a much sought after toy when you were a kid...... 8?) ?!?!

Enjoy.

Best Buy got their initial shipment near me this afternoon, I picked one up so I could have a backup to my D300 that I could leave in the car without feeling completely paranoid about losing $3k+ if I got broken into, but when I got it home and unboxed, er.... the box was empty. Called Best Buy back completely furious, it turns out they had unloaded mine as the floor model, so I ran back and got another copy. Unboxing pics and a few test shots will follow....

Edit: Unboxing shots now up here:
