Wrong Item from Adorama

No direct controls

No aperture control, etc

Wrong Item from Adorama by kayakermanmike.

Wrong grip, the older version, no direct control.

So glad I paid quick shipping.

Was supposed to be this...

I have just picked up this post, and would like to apologise - it appears that an incorrect item was picked in our warehouse and shipped to you in error.

Please contact me at your earliest opportunity, with your order number, in order that I can arrange a credit or a replacement: helen.oster@adoramacamera.com

Thank you Helen for your response. I've emailed you with my concerns, and my need for the correct item for the weekend. I'll look forward to hearing back from you.

kayakermanmike, I checked out some of Adorama's emails and I don't think helen v oster is real. Her email ends in "@adoramacamera.com" while the others are just "@adorama.com". I would email adorama directly.

I have ended up in direct contact with an Adorama employee through an email that went through her... Employeename@adorama.com

I've seen some of the same things that make me wonder, however, in the end it seems to be working out.

First email from said employee was asking if I had received the product, with info from shipping. I emailed back explaining that it was not that I had not received, it, but that it was the wrong item.

Also called using adorama phone # and extension in his email. Got voice mail, he called back. Unfortunately I had stepped out so he got voice mail. I will be receiving a postage paid return label. Luckily with Vonage, I also now have a wav file for my records...

I am not taking any of this at face value yet, I am still suspicious of bait and switch going on here...

Dear Kayakermike and Helen,

I've reached this post while looking for some answers regarding the grip for the D60. I own one and I'm looking for something like this. However, I find it useless if it's IR based.

Is there a version with the pins for true shutter, AE/AF Lock and Aperture/shutter controls? Is it just a picture from a model for a different camera?

Thanks in advance!
Xavier.-
