BestBuy Back Order Wait Times for the D7000

NikonME · Jul 12, 2011

Instead of ordering the D7000 body only (and waiting), I would have purchased the D7000 kit w/ 18-105mm in store, then sold the kit lens online for $300. It would have worked about to the same cost and you would have had the camera the same day!

Well hopefully Adorama doesn't drag their feet too long on my order.

They didn't have the kit in stock, and I didn't have an extra $300. Plus I would have taken a hit, and theres too many unknown variables for that to not be easier said then done.

This wait is getting brutal

Wow that sucks. I'm glad I got mine in 2 days from Amazon and YES I agree with NikonME ... if you don't need the kit lens just get the d7000 kit and sell the lens

As I have stated before, the kit wasnt available at best buy at the time of purchase and my only option was best buy because i put 450 on credit because it is interest free for 18 months. Plus, I would be taking a big hit just to buy the kit because they go for 250 on ebay.

After ebay and paypal fees, im looking at losing almost $100.

Well if it helps, the 30-75mm f2.8D lens works PERFECTLY with the D7000.

I love my D7000. I asked my wife if I could bring it to bed, she told me to get a grip.. so I did, but she still makes me put it up before bed. :/

They sell locally here (Uncle Henrys or Craigslist) for $280 to $300 and someone would come to your door to get it. Even if you took a little loss, wouldn't that be better than waiting an undisclosed amount of time for it to come 'In Stock'. If I wanted the D7000 so much that the wait was getting brutal, I would pay $50 or so to get it right now! But I guess, thats just me. I am all for instant gratification.

You wanna lend me the extra 300 so that I can get the kit? As I've said multiple times, the kit was never an option. Not only was it not in stock, but I didn't have the money for it anyway. So the couldas, wouldas and shouldas were never options.

The wait continues.

It's just a camera.

Just for future reference, don't order electronics through best buy. They are horrible at giving info about products ordered on their site. Every single employee give different answers.
