My new camera is here. It seems very ... manual compared to my other
cameras. Why do I need three separate switches to turn on and off autofocus?
Why do you need to be careful to switch off vibration reduction before
turning off the camera?
(Of course, I know the answers. It's rhetorical, see.)
I will say, it seems to take pretty darn nice pictures. :-)

In the US? I don't believe so. After all, it's only something like 900€
at Europe.

Yes. After all, it's AFAIK the cheapest non-Canon CMOS -based SLR. At
least it's the cheapest CMOS-based Nikon SLR.

Can you link specs? I've never heard of such model, Nikon's web-pages
won't show it, neither does Digiwowo.

I guess it does not have an "intuitive interface".

Seriously though, do they actually tell you to disable VR before shutdown?

There were some rumors a few years ago that Nikon would name their coming
model "D20". They did not.
There was a Nikon D200, but that was not a low-end model.
