Whatever you buy, don't get it from best buy. D90 refurb direct from Nikon.

Are there issues with Best Buy?

Just cheaper and better service at other places. My favorite place is Adorama and wouldn't hesitate to send anyone there.

I did check out their site since I see them in the photo mags. I know they have been around for a long time.

Not if you do your homework and don't mind paying a couple bucks more to have it right now.

The minute you find yourself wanting to ask somebody some kind of technical question though, leave the store as fast as you can. Go home and ask here or google it. Those people don't know **** about the stuff they sell.

We use a few French words which the French no longer use apparently. The circumflex is a bit harder to come up with on our keyboards though..we occasionally might use drole without the little hat.

That it is, to an extent ungettable yet carries within it a certain, cultural resonance...makes it drôle as ****!

Since when do english people use "drôle"? That's a new one...I didn't even know it was a "well known french word" LOL

Couldn't have said it better myself, I went in for a test drive on the D5100 and only thing bestbuy associate can tell me is that "well, it just came out."...A'ight

Please tell me they haven't stopped making the D90! I was hoping to buy one in December for Christmas.

Has anyone else heard that the D90 has already been discontinued?

I also agree that at this level, you're not looking at one being better then the other, just go with what feels best!

I read that somewhere on the web.Have not been able to confirm it though. It still shows up in the Nikon Digital Product Guide for spring 2011 so it's probably still being produced.

It's too bad we don't have some sort of readily-avilable network of information where we could find the answers to such mysteries.

Thanks! I just can't swing the D7000 yet in the family budget.

D90 in my opinion. Ever since the D7000 came out a made the used prices of the D90 what they are now it has become the best bang for the buck body out there. Couple that with a Tamron 17-50 and a Nikon 80-200 and you have a very capable set up for not a lot of money.
