I think you can estimate from all the rumours over at dpreview and the price in Japan announced by KM.

i think by the time it reach singapore, will be $2500- $2700 body only.... KIT set $2900- $3200......... just hope it can fit most of the old third party lenses too...

There is one person in MTF dpreview mentioned that he has tested a 15 yrs old Sigma with 7D, and it works . Good news!

Every new camera has a learning curve. You throw a Nikon DSLR to a Canon user or the other way round, it's not going to be easy for them to learn how to use it. So what's the point? They are just stating the obvious.

Cheers!

From the dpreview forum I could the price was sent to someone as £1,149,99 (body only)... so do your conversions.

Just a short intro also, I've been following this forums for months, but this is my first post in this minolta forum..

UK prices are insane. Can't estimate the price just by using currency conversion.

Have to wait till the local distributors get their pricing from KM Singapore.

Cheers!

Just to prove my point.

D70 Kit:
UK list price: £1000 ~ SGD$2957
SG list price: SGD$2288

That's makes a D70 kit 30% more expensive over there.

If we apply this to the D7D UK list price of £1150, then the SG list price should be about SGD$2600. And price on the street would be cheaper still.

Cheers!

Yeap.. I normally 2x the number list as UK price, to get a rough estimation of SG price. Also don't look at Oz price as well

Most likely.... that's why US and European tourists love to come over here to grab the latest electronic gadgets... they can save anywhere from 20-50%....

If the kit is below $3K and it comes with one of those new enahnced optimized for digital lens.... yeah I'll get the kit!

Hi everybody...

Just wondering why noone asks (may be tehre was before) abt the selling price in the mother land - Japan?

Is it way too expensive than UK?
Or is it due to the software version is in Japanese?
Or is it the manual is in Japanese?

Any Japanese friends out there in this Forum?

If that's the price range, then its a good news for me.
