I don't know how Costco does it but I like it. I ordered the K2000 two lens package on their web site at 9:00 PM on Monday. I upgraded to UPS Second Day Air for a whopping $3.79; slower shipping is free. Originally they said it would be delivered on Thursday, which made sense. This morning the tracking said it would be delivered today. It arrived at 10:17 AM today, a little over 36 hours from when I placed the order. Gotta love that.

As I expected the lens mounts are plastic. Does anyone own both the original kit lens with the metallic mount and the newer one with the plastic mount? I'm tempted to use the older lens but I presume the camera was designed around the new lens. I should probably stick with the kit lens that came with it. Optically they're probably the same.

The build quality is down a little from the *ist DL but I expected that. It's decent. No hood for the kit lens this time although the one that came with the old kit lens fits the new one. It's probably just as well. I could never remember to take it off when using the built in flash and of course got the predictable result.

I probably won't have much time to do anything other than read the destruction manual until this weekend.
