		| | How BAD do you want it??? I waited a long time for both my D70 and D300. Nikon does not have the best track record for getting the goods out in a timely manner. I went into my local camera store and preordered both to get on the waiting list. |

		| | The first ones are shipped next week. I heard of people getting them on monday. 
 Nikon has learned a lot. When they announce it is now production bodies that are available within weeks.

		| | Ok I'm going to preorder this baddie.  Are all vendors the same in terms of shipping date?  I'm going with either Amazon or BH. |

		| | I ordered one from Ritz Camera yesterday and just got the shipping notification!  I can't wait! 
 I'm heading to Japan in early October and wanted to make sure I got this in time (my D50 is having shutter problems), so I ordered the kit for $1299 and will be promptly eBaying the lens.  For some reason, the body without a lens won't be available for a while.  Amazon currently says "Ships in 1 to 2 months".

		| | Here in Canada, they have an estimated ship date of September 19th. 
 I have heard numerous reports of Best Buy in the US having the kits available on the shelves as of the 5th.
 
 I am shooting a wedding on October 4th, which I was planning to rent a backup body for.  Hopefully, my D80 will be my backup body if I can get my hands on the D90 before then!

		| | Assuming this is a reliable source, the D90 Body Only has started shipping to retailers!
