I'm certainly not going to gloat. Shel's misfortunes have got to be very
disappointing to say the least. I am one of the ones who bought a "ln-" D
from KEH and was off and running with an old KA lens and 512MB compact flash
card from Walmart almost as fast as I could everything together. Other than
the RAW files, I'm very impressed with the D and am having a lot of fun
with it..

I'm sorry to hear of all the problems your having Shel. Your baptism
in DSLR ownership has surely started out in a shitty way.
This is why I prefer shopping in a reatil store. Sometimes the extra
cost is worth it. :-) Then again sometimes it's not <g>

Well, OK, not digi per se, but problems dealing with on line digi stores.
The moment I ordered the DS, I ordered an SD card from
http://www.flash-memory-store.com/
At Godfrey's suggestion I ordered a 60X ATP card on August 29 @ about
7:00am. The web site (http://www.flash-memory-store.com/) guarantees
shipping the same day if an order is placed before 6:00pm.
The card wasn't shipped until Sept 1, which meant that in order for me to
use the DS I had to drive to another town to buy an SD card. Flash
Memory
Store did not perform as promised. Today I received the memory card. It
was not the 60X ATP card, but rather, a slower (much slower by my
estimation) plain vanilla no-name card.
I called the store to discuss the matter and ended up with recorded
message
about how important my business is to them, continued by the comment that
no one can take my call now. <SIGH>
Anyway, I'm not writing this to evoke sympathy, rather, to alert you to
the
miserable service this store provides.
I could have purchased a card for a few dollars more from a store that
was
"slower" to ship, and gotten faster and better service.
