New D70s User

kopiosatu · 11th May 2005

G'day all!! I purchased a D70s recently, my previous one was a G5. Hehehe, I've defected to Nikon!

Here to say hi and hope to practice my shots at outings!

It's been 2 days and I still haven't really figured out the camera yet... especially SB800

On the lighter side.....read ya manual and shoot shoot shoot

snowspeeder · 11th May 2005

Gotta read the manual inside out, more than once if necessary.
Then go out with fellow nikon users for practice shoots. From there you will grow into the system and understand it. It's a never ending learning journey.

No need to refer to the manual.
Just refer to ESPN.
He is a walking manual.

Sure kena hammer by ESPN

Dust in viewfinder - I got mine cleaned at Nikon SC... took them 8 working days... OMG
Will NPS members get faster service? If so, i will go apply for NPS membership. Can't stand their sluggish service.

no other places..... heh... u can try another place.. BUT ITS MORE MORE riskier !!!

The Camera Hospital at Sunshine Plaza...

its better to get it done at NSC la !! quality matters....

MyNikon · 14th May 2005

The camera is under warranty so why would you need to send to send to anywhere else?
The location of the Service Centre is not quite consumer-friendly though.

satan_18349 · 14th May 2005

If you are taking public transport... -> T.barhru MRT station -> Take Bus 63 opp T.barhru plaza... around less than 10mins journey, you will saw Shirio house...

Can always ask the bus driver to remind you...

Del_CtrlnoAlt · 14th May 2005

talked to 1 uncle last week about DSLR, den he using Nikon film body... after seeing digital, he decided to get a D70s, cos i told him the cost of a D2H & such... comparison... vague 1...

btw i think i gave him some wrong info today, cos he ask me where to get D70s besides Cathay, so i told him about Lords... dunno if he know how to go anot... den gave him the wrong price, i thought D70s is about 1.8k...

, worse is kit lens with D70 cost 2k+...

Isn't it better to alight at Redhill station since it's nearer?
Anyway, that was what I did the last time I went there.
The Service Centre is just about 10mins walk from the station.

satan_18349 · 14th May 2005

ha....yap..it's nearer... but i'm lazy to walk up there...
