If you want the body only, I wouldn't be too picky as to which shop I bought it from since they go out of stock very fast when they do show up. Shop around at some of the smaller camera shops. I bought my D7000 from Robert's Camera back in December in the peak of the holiday rush when no one else had one (seems they are out of stock on the body only right now, too). Most of them will have phone numbers listed on their websites, so you can call to verify that it is in stock before ordering (or often just order right there on the phone). I just did a quick search on Google Shopping and found several places listed in stock (and a majority out of stock). Camcor, Bedford, and Ryther all listed one in stock (I'm sure there are others - didn't click on every link). I ordered some 35mm supplies back in highschool from Camcor - I know they were very reputable back then.

lots of 18-105s popping up for sale, some never used, I would say that folks are buying the kei to get the body and then putting up the kit lens for sale.

hello,

any one have some information when the Nikon D7000 body-only will be back in store(at BHV or Adorama), it is available at amazon at a high price (1500$ body only).

thanks
