Now all you need is a d7100/d7200. Try and sell that d5200 when you can, with every new generation it will be severely devalued. Right now, nobody even gives a second look to the d3100, unless they are cash strapped.
Unfortunately, stores are still selling d3100 kits !! --> Nikon D3100 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55... : Target
I wonder if this is new manufactured inventory, or shelved - unsold inventory.
^ That doesn't happen with my copy. I just tried it to make a noise...any noise, and I couldn't. Its solid. My first thought, is that if it doesn't affect...effect...affect....the performance, I wouldn't worry about it.
I am awaiting your first serious photos with the lens. =-)
looks very good at f/1.8, what is the dogs name?Here are a couple technical shots. Still itching to take the lens out for the first time.
Here's an example of sharpness at f1.8, 18mm

Macro (focused as close as I could, f1.8, 35mm, chose a regular soda can so scale is easy to identify):

NOS. New Old Stock sales are HUGE for Nikon. A while back, a three-generations back, discounted 3xxx series was Nikon's top selling camera, according to an article I read, I think from Thom Hogan, who is a real Nikon expert and Nikon-watcher. the PRICES are just soooo low, that it makes those older bodies paired with a low-cost kit zoom seem like such an attractive proposition to the casual consumer, or to young people who just want "a good camera, better than a point and shoot, and better than my phone." These are also attractive as GIFT purchased, for dad and grads and wedding presents and so on.
Back to the 18-35 f/1.8--congratulations, Paul!!! High-end zoom specs! There really is NO other zoom like that one on the market. The sheer speed! F/One-point-eight!!! In a zoom! From 18 to 35mm...unprecedented!
