I thought I'd ask you, since you're a photography genius

I'm going to get DH a DSLR for Xmas, but I want to give it to him in Nov so he has enough time to play around with it before our big trip in December. I'd like to give it to him a few days before Thanksgiving, so that he can play around with it while we're in NYC, so buying it on Black Friday or Cyber Monday is out. I'm leaning towards the Nikon d3000 and found this place that has it, plus an extra lens for just under $700 and no tax.
