Anyone who has followed your journey these past couple of years has to appreciate what a momentous decision this was and what a relief it must have been to finally say yes to ANY camera without the D400 badge on it. We could argue the universe is playing with you, a Buddhist examination of the meaning of attachment perhaps. But we don't need to go there.
Is there a game Friday night? It seems a bit early for football to begin but you live in country where fall can quickly slip into winter so perhaps the season starts early. I know you'd like to have the camera in your hand to get familiar with it before you're standing on the sidelines. Hopefully, UPS will sort out the problem and you'll get it before Friday, or at least by Friday.
I got a package this afternoon from Amazon for two pair of boot laces... big purchase, right? It was part of a larger order that was delivered last week. I got a message from Amazon saying my payment had been refunded because they couldn't deliver the boot laces. I figured what the hell, I'd let it go. But then I got an email and telephone call from the vendor who offered the laces through Amazon's marketplace. I explained the refund and the inability to deliver and he was incredulous since Amazon fulfills his orders. He doesn't ship anything. So the question was, if they could deliver the two other things from my order to an address I've been using for decades, how were they unable to deliver two pair of boot laces?
I eventually worked it out with Amazon but you get the idea. Despite the fact everything works well most of the time, occasionally SNAFU is the reality of this moment. Ironically, after ordering the shoelaces I decided to buy a new pair of hiking boots and don't NEED the shoelaces...
Send us a photo of the camera when it arrives Andre and we can have a party... ...Show more →

Yes, the first regular season game is this Friday, as in tomorrow! I was hoping to practice a bit this week before the game to learn the AF system.
Funny story on the laces ... and I've done that same thing ... but keep the old boots for extra muddy situations so as to keep the new ones nicer longer ... so then you do need the new laces.
