BestBuy Back Order Wait Times for the D7000

[NikonME]

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. :/

It's just a camera.

I was joking.. sheesh, man.

So was I.

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.

I definitely agree.

I'm with the OP though, 18 months same as cash is very attractive. I bought my D7000 from BestBuy because of the same reason.

The only reason why I buy from best buy, is for the 18mo Interest free and the 10% military discount they give which nullifies tax. Otherwise, I would shop elsewhere being that best buy is always more expensive even before tax.

Best buy will price match amazon. I have done it many times.

Ah I didn't know that. However, I will say that this time best buy had the better price. I was able to pick the body up for 1147 after tax($1055 before). But this will come handy later. Appreciate the tip.

No problem. I just got a few things yesterday at half price from pulling them up on my phone. It just has to be new they won't match used prices so make sure you look. I had that happen once and felt pretty stupid lol.

Unbelievably, I just got my D7000 WITH kit lens with out paying a dime more via best buy ($1147 after tax). They hooked me up for the confusion and I couldn't be happier.

Tonight I ordered a sandisk 30mb/s memory card and a 50mm 1.8D. Im currently looking for a backpack that I can transport my camera in while having room for notebooks for school. Any ideas?

Just for the record, Best Buy's policy is NOT to price match online retailers, and they will only price match retailers within their area. So, if you see a lens for sale at some other physical store that is local, they will price match. They will not price match a store a few hundred miles away even if it's a name branded dept store.

and a 50mm 1.8D.

I have that lens and love it. You may also want to look into the 35-70mm f/2.8D lens. It's older but great quality for the price. Too bad Nikon doesn't make them anymore.

I am glad the wait was worth it.

Definitely worth it, but my wife keeps trying to interfere with bonding time with my new camera. Pff... women.

I feel your pain..
