Hello,
I purchased the DE-5000 from one of the ebay sources about 2 months ago, took about a month to get here(NC, USA). after unwrapping popped a battery in it and started using it immediately mainly for going through pile of dropped 603 smd caps ( yea im cheap that way). I got it with the smd probe which is spring loaded after a while your hand gets tired. Measures my lowest value caps 20pf no problem, also has auto component detect.
Anyway I still have alot to learn about this product and reading the post on this topic was very helpful thanks to all the members that replied.
