[slardar]

Hi all, i got a stupid question to ask. Is there a possibility that the price will increase? Cos im interested in the camera, but need to save up more first.. no choice, just a poor student. :embrass:

does the prices above include GST?

 

[vannieq]

for ms color and parisilk, yes. i think the same goes for cathay but better check with them again just to be sure.

@Nshooter
yes, it is really an external hard-disk and it doubles as a host for various USB devices such as cameras, mp3 players and thumb drives.

@ExplorerZ
thanks for your suggestion.

i'm still thinking of whether to get a 2nd hand D50 or D70s or juz get a brand new D40..but heard D40 functions is limited..

 

[Star-flog]

D40 is the most compact Nikon DSLR as compared to D50, D70 & D80? Have been using film based Nikon FE2 for many years and it's about to change !! ;p
Good buy or should wait a bit longer ?

 

[Star-flog]

Refering to the ads today, the offer is for D40 Kit (as the picture only show lens attached). Offer seems attractive......:thumbsup:

 

[kcuf2]

eh... i think ur price got a bit error

Cathay photo marina i juz called and they said $1,020
While ms color is correct at $999

at this kind of prices, who wouldn't want to buy at courts seriously?

But dam it... nobody is selling body only... i just need the body... argh..

i think u can get the d70 & 18-70 kit lens for less than $900 at B&S...IMHO, for a beginner, it's a better set-up that will last you for at least a year or so before u want to start expanding your lens collection

 

[itsybitsyspidy]

i think they shld give a new category to cameras like D40.... PSLR, prosumer slr~

Went done CP today and was quoted $980 after GST for the D40 kits.

I think Prosumer SLR is the term given to cameras like the 7D and the D200.
The D40 should rank as Entry-level SLR.

The Prosumer = Professional consumer ?
