    Folks,

    I'm off to NY in a few weeks time and have my eye on a Nikon D5000.

    Two questions :

    - Any opinions on this camera
    - Any guidance as to the best priced bricks & mortar store in NY to purchase ?

    best lowest price store would be B&H.

    Seconding B&H. They're on 43rd and 9th if memory serves, it's like Smyths for camera enthusiasts. They're closed Fridays and Saturdays if memory serves as they're a Jewish store. Seriously good savings to be had! Just make sure you unpack everything and get rid of the packaging before you leave the country <SNIP>!

    You could always just post home the empty boxes:)

    the only thing about the camera you might want to be aware of is it does not have a built in AF motor, which limits your AF lens choice down the line. Lenses with motors in them usually cost more.
    You might consider a D90 if this a concern for you. The D90 cost a bit more but will give you less expensive lens options down the line.
