I went to Futureshop and I got my way one way or another. First I brought up the $699.99 D3000 bundle and how the 55-200 lens should only cost $200. Since the D5000 with 18-55 is also on sale this week for $649.99, and the bundle with 55-200 is $899. Therefore the 55-200 would cost $250. There is no reason why a more expensive camera should be paired with the same but more expensive lens. That works against logic. For whatever reason/excuse they stood behind their pricing philosophy and how it is something to do with Nikon Canada. So anyways, I brought out Best Buy's deal of the week. The D5000 for $649.99 and the 55-200 for just another $219.99 and the free photo frame worth $69. They were more than willing to match their offer. Fine, I got almost $25 back and a free 9" digital photo frame worth $89.99.
In summary,
Nikon D5000 -- $649.99
55-200mm VR lens -- $217.99
Panasonic 8GB class 10 SD card -- $24.99
Lowepro Sling 100 -- $62.99
Digipower spare battery -- $38.69
4 year extended warranty -- $149.99
Free 9" Digital Photo Frame -- $0.00 ($89.99 value)
Total (after taxes) = $1281.99
