So does anyone bought the D70s sets from Harvey Norman? How do we get 2 year extended warranty? Is it true for 5% discount for credit card payment? Thanks.

By the way MSColor quote me the following package for $1650 (inclusive of GST)

D70s + 18-70mm Kit lens
2GB Lexar 80x CF
Lowepro Bag
Dry Box
123 Imaging Ebook
67mm filter
1 year warranty

So do you think is this a better deal or not. Headache, can't decide my own..

[davsmiths]

5% off HV is for HV Credit Card Holders, i think or HV members.

Oh, MS did not advertise on papers, i meant MS promo is the same as Nikon's promo on newspaper but at $1650 instead of $1788.

Yep i think its a pretty good buy if you actually need the things
DryBox assumming its an electronic kind and 30L will cost you about 100
Lexar Cf probably around 150 at least
The Kit lens brand new cost bout 400
Essentially your brand new D70S with 1 yr warr cost 1k
not too bad considering ppl asking 950-1k for 2nd hand one in BnS...

I suppose u didn't see my previous post on page 2...so I'm goin to repeat

OK so here what I got from them. I paid $1788

Nikon D70s Kit
Nikon Jounalist Bag
Dry Box
Tripod
4GB CF Card
2 yrs extended warranty by Harvey Norman.

Basically I paid $138 more in exchange for a 4Gig instead of ur 2Gig (But mine is normal speed)
1 tripod which isn't included in Nikon's package
Nikon Jounalist Bag which yours is Lowepro Bag
3years Warranty as compared to your 1 year
U got extra 123 Imaging Ebook and 67mm filter which I don't have.

So its up for you to decide. I find Harvey Norman package more worth it as compared to the double size of CF 4gig and 2gig difference and of course the 2years extra warranty. Dry Box and tripod is a bonus to start if you dont decided to invest in a good one yet.

Hi glay78,

Just wish to ask you a question, it is the Harvey Norman warranty includes Shutter Failure? If it is included then it is really worth to buy from Harvey Norman cos most probably we need to change the shutter within 3 years right?

[glay78]

I'm not sure...its not written in the warranty card...I only know anything happen after 1years of Nikon jus bring down to HN and they will send for repair and we wont need to pay if its camera fault. So does shutter failure consider wear and tear or camera fault? Anyone can help?

Depends on what shutter count.If it breaks down after having very high shutter count, I think it is consider as wear and tear.

Not sure whether nikon state the life of the shutter for the MTBF for D70s...

I think it should be good for around 100k if not lesser...

Can call HN to check weather they cover all the hardware parts for normal warranty and extented warranty. Or better still go down to ask so that can buy on the spot if everythings is ok.

I think HN provides extension on FULL COVERAGE of your existing vendor's gurrantee.
Imagine if Nikon will replace shutter within his gurantee, then HN just extends that gurantee and pays nikon should anything happens.

FYI, HN is the only place with 100% coverage without depreciation. If your thing is beyond economical sense to repair, they will replace a new set for you at your buying price. (Image a camera selling at $1788 3 years later)

Most HN claims are not much question asked.

That's why they swee. (I don't work in HN, dun worry)

[ricleo]

The HN deal seems pretty good!

but have to think about whether HN will still be around in singapore 3 years later? Seems that their presence in SG is shrinking? The branch at Suntec city just closed down not too long ago?
