Is this site for real? A video of someone “unboxing” a camera? This is why photography sucks now. It has been taken over by nerds who spend more time fawning over the tools rather than the act of photography itself.
@mike - as a photographer, I understand that you’d find it strange. However, this site has two main categories of reader: 1) Photographers, 2) people interested in the latest technology.
The video is obviously for the latter group. You may not be aware, but “unboxing” videos are actually a very common thing.

After getting my hands on the D60, my first impression was hundreds of dollars for a camera and they are too cheap to toss in a 15 dollar ram card.
I don’t think that impression gets any better when the price of the camera climbs in to the thousands…

@Thomas: Actually, it’s a very old and cheap Casio Futurist “Vib Alarm” watch
