I don’t think you will be disappointed with the D90. I bought one myself a few months ago and it works great. The 18-200 is a great all-round lens and useful as a one-lens solution when traveling. There are some trade-offs of course, but it’s very versatile if you don’t like lugging around several lenses. ---

I keep my 18-200 on my D90 all the time. I’ve never been disappointed with it’s performance. I also have a Sigma 10-20 and a Nikon 80-400mm VR. I use the Sigma frequently, but the 80-400 only rarely. ---

Update: I have canceled the order with Sonic. B&H is sold out of the D90/18-200, so I ordered it from Willoughby’s for about $1700. I used to buy stuff from them all the time when I lived in NYC, and have never had a bad experience. ---

I’ve had good luck with [Beach Camera](http://www.beachcamera.com/shop/home.aspx), also. ---

I used to buy stuff from them all the time when I lived in NYC, and have never had a bad experience. Um, same name, different owners. The current ‘Willoughby’s’ has nothing to do with the old one on 32nd Street, the name was sold. [Reseller Ratings](http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Willoughby_s) isn’t too crazy about them. ---

Update: I received the camera and lens this morning (plus lots of goodies). Everything is as ordered, and works like a charm. The D90 is an amazing camera, and I’m so glad I chose to get the new lens as well. ---
