It came faster than what I expected. I got this
in the mail the other day. I've been wanting a DSLR for a long time. I've been wanting a Nikon, but this will have to do, as I got it for free. Yes, FREE!!! George got a letter and a catalog from his Sony card and stated his Sony points were going to expire. So since, we had a lot of points, He told me to go ahead and order the camera, so I did. We paid nothing, no even for the shipping and handling.
Here are some info on the camera and its gotten some good reviews.
