I've bought lenses, filters, strobes and even used equipment and they've always been straight forward with me. OK! They did mess up an order once but I decided to keep the item (inexpensive) and ordered the "correct" item from a competitor. I actually had more trouble with my credit card company due to the cost of the D3... and I was no where near my limit limit. And yes, call me foolish if it makes you feel better. I got the extended warranty. I got my D3 from Adorama in about 10 days and they didn’t call about the MAC extended warranty until another 2 weeks after.

I too had a bad experience when it came to the D3. I preordered mine and was lied to once or twice on ship dates. I was then hard sold a warranty which they charged me for immediately and shipped but the camera was nowhere in sight. I landed up cancelling my order and buying mine direct from Nikon through the military exchange and got 10% off. Will I never shop with Adorama again? No, I probably will, they are still a reputable vendor but I will probably always check B&H first. I think they saw a opportunity to make a few easy bucks and jumped on it. You have to remember, the mark up on bodies is almost nothing and this is the hottest item out there. Most pros probably have all the lenses and CF cards they need already so this is the only way to make a genuine profit on it. I am sure they will calm down a bit once the demand slows down. If anyone is in the U.S. military and wants to buy this camera, go to the exchange web site and enter item number K116P (it wont show up any other way). You can direct order it. I got mine in under two weeks direct from Nikon in the middle of the hype. AAFES has had a few coupons floating around which work on this item as well. They have the D300 available for immediate ship as well, I dont remember the item number but it is k116something. You can also direct order the 14-24 and 24-70 lenses.
