I am sure you will have tons of fun with it. And i hope you will share your results with us soon ;-) Congratulations ! You bet it is "selling like hot cakes" and it is for a reason.... I bought the D300s not long ago, but if I would have known of the coming of this camera, I would have waited. No regrets though, the cameras i have all are much much much better than i am ! That includes my beloved R3 and my Nikon FE.
