B/B...Yes, it came from Adorama in about 2 days, with "regular"/free shipping.
Very good service from them, with email updates, and quick delivery.

I have ripped off a few hundred shots, getting to know it...it seems to be well
put together, easy to use, etc. (Canon 40D, EFS 17-85 Is Lens, Iso 100, Av)

I am not overwhelmed by pic quality, thus far, however. Maybe I was expecting
too much, but I have yet to "see" a considerable diff. between my old budget
KonicaMinolta 5d with film lenses to this new 40D. I don't do lens tests or anything
scientific; I am just using my eyes on my higher res lap top screen. Subjective I
realize, but I've been looking at photos, rigorously, for 50+ years.

The "snap shot" distance pics are fine...the longer range landscape/view shots
seem a little "soft" to me, in comparison. Not disappointed yet, as it has been
very, very foggy, misty and "unclear" here the past week. We shall see...

It does have a few settings Nits, but I am pouring through the manual to discover
how to get it going like "I like"/am used to.
That's my initial 50Cts non-tech review.
