I ordered a Nikon, D7000 Digital SLR camera "Package" on line. I received an email the next day thanking me for my order and that I needed to call to "Further"verify my order. I attempted to call the number they left and only received a recording. The store hours on the Web site said that they closed at 3 PM on Friday. I called them back at 2:15PM Eastern time and the recording on the phone said they were closed.I had to call back on Monday and the call was then turned around into a sales call. The person I spoke with asked me if I had seen the D5100, and i said i have looked at it but wanted the D7000. The salesman then told me the D7000 was not intended for the USA and that the instructions might not be in english, but that they had a "special deal" on the USA D5100 that was made for use in the USA. The sales man told me that the "Deal" was in there sales add but not on their website. The deal included two "professional" lenses that the other camera did not have, the camera package i wanted had plain lenses, a carrying bag, a tri pod, a "HigH Speed" charger and heavy extra capacity battery, screen protectors, a cleaning kit, two lens filters, and a SD Card reader all for about the same price of the D7000. I did not see on the website that D7000 was not made for the USA Market.I ordered the D5100 I ordered this in time for Christmas and a vacation trip shortly after. I paid 80 + dollars for shipping, or all in all about $1400.00. I got the package and opened it. The cleaning kit and screen pprotectors were not there.The high speed charger is the same one that comes with the D5100 you can get at Best Buy, the lenses are the same ones that come with the D7000 I wanted and you can buy at Best Buy. The cleaning kit and screen protectors were not in the package. I called and they sent the cleaning kit. I checked and could have bought this combo at Best Buy with all the goodies and a GOOD carry bag for about $300.00 less an woould not have shipping on top of that. The return policy sucks so i kept the package. I took all of or family Christmas Photos and vacation photos and used the fine sd card reader that lost 3/4 of my photos out of about 200 photos when i attempted to transfer them to a new laptop. I tried again with about 25 photos to load them onto the laptop with the SD Card reader provided and lost all but two photos. I then discovered the laptop has a sd reader port, that read the next 300 photos without fail. All of the "Extras" were cheap stuff i would have never bought individually. I called about the High speed charger and was told that the one I got was the high speed charger. I like the Camera and lenses, even though they are stock lenses, just feel like i was taken with a bait and switch. The salesman i spoke with when i ordered the "deal" said I would be added to the "Special add mailing list" that I believe does not exist. Go to Best Buy if you want this camera.
