Smiles please PM me I will tell you the price I paid for my new D90.

DD please do not feel sorry that I made my informed decision on how to purchase my D90. If it is a good unit I will deal with it. If it is defective I will deal with it also.

In the shop: 3 photos were taken and then the shutter count assessed; 3. A photo was taken, I assume on manual with the lens cap on, and then the resulting photo was put on the computer, and a program was run to look for hot pixels or dead pixels. None found. Then a photo was taken, you know, of like a ruler. This was blown up on the computer. Accurate auto focus on that photo.

It is not in anybodies best interest to sell to consumers defective cameras. The first week, agree, is a bit scarier with no Nikon warranty. But hey, I can self insure a thing as cheap as a D90. The whole issue of "insurance", and "warranties", I suggest is a consumer's choice. How many people buy the notorious "extended warranty"? Those things are cash cows for retail stores. OK, just was typing my one reply as more replies came in. Oh yea, have charger, USB cable, CD, TV cable, I think everything except manual and warranty. As always, thank you.

Welcome to the Dark Side and especially to the D90 user group!
Do try to make it for our informal TCSS session at Esplanade Thai Express tomorrow (wed 11 Aug), where we will share with you whatever little we know about the camera and also about photography. Feel free to ask about bags, tripods, filters, etc.

But most importantly, be prepared to be poisoned! :devil:

Bro, there is the Sigma 24/1.8 you know... I was thinking of the Sigma 20/1.8 for cropped. Local sellers are jacking up the pricing though on the 20mm. I think I might go to Shanghai and check it out. Will be going there soon. My friend wants to bring back muslin backgrounds with background stands and studio lights. His intended purchases sounds scary. But he is into film making and production. And he is on a 7D, which is wonderful for video. I am poisoning him with 5Dmk2. :devil: I might sneak some lightstands and softboxes back as well...
