    Hey Tom. I just purchased a D5000 and kit lens refurbished from Adorama. Other than a blown LED on the battery charger, which was replaced by Adorama, I'm not having any problems at all.

    Thanks for the input guys. The lack of autofocus points in the viewfinder is one of the things that is holding me back. Also, the AA batteries are actually a negative for me. I'd prefer a rechargable...
