Question Will there be a D200 launch locally?

Anyone know whether Nikon Singapore will be launching the D200 the same way they launch D2X?

You mean if the launch had better speakers, you all will 101% buy the camera?

How do you want NIKON SG to WOW you all? Throw in some free models shoot?

All this is nothing but sales talk and so on which you can find all those "WOW" techincal specs on the camera manual (if you all really read the manual). Still Nikon SG should do an official launch on the D200, not to WOW their new toy but to take this opportunity to market their other stuffs too.

You just need to pay $3,500 you are on your way to the Darkside. Anyway what's wrong with your Minolta 7D? Not performing too well? Or does the word NIKON sounds better with more lenses to play with?

The speakers were really boring, 10 out of 10 of us felt the same way.

If they don't plan to WOW the crowd, what's the point of having a launch? we can all pick up a brochure and read it right?

and it does'nt mean that if they have a wonderful launch, everyone will buy. But it will leave the crowd in awe and confident, that the brand has a solid footing in the industry. Some ppl might just want to buy a PNS, with so many choices, they might conclude:"wow, the D2X launch was really something, they had put a lot of R&D into it. I dun mind buying a PNS that has a Nikon logo on it."

A product has to be promoted properly otherwise would there be any sales? ..somemore it was thier flagship model.

The only good feeling I left with was the solid buffet.

hmm.....it's a joke lar. i know it has been taken.

so think it's time for a new breed to come in since there is so many potential marketing spokesman for nikon sg. nikon product is good no doubt about it as i am using it for the past 17 years but i think we all know their marketing side is a bit of a let down.
