Attention shoppers: D70 price drop!!!

[mpenza]

no need to feel too sore ;p a few hundred dollars are a drop in the ocean in the grand scheme of things (e.g. compared to what you earn over the lifetime).

 

[yowch]

Paid extra $330 and took about 680 shots before I found out about the lowered price. Well, 50c per shot isn't TOO bad... not cheap though.

The calculation should be based on keeper shots. Good for you if all 680 shots are keepers, but understanding typical DLSR shooters, most likely 10% keepers (this is not to put you down, but certainly 10% is representative of my own triggerhappy-ness).

Saw the nikon promos ads.... does the price of $1.7 quote from CP/AP gets the freebies? i think only the 1GB CF sounds worthy...the rest quite useless...haahaa

granted, i experiment more with digital. but even with film, i may not get as high a 'keeper rate'. just thinking of it this way. actually, if i only consider the keepers, i'd say the financial cost should be quite high (i'm not going to look through my hard disk) but those shots have their own satisfaction (family snaps, friends' birthday, street shots etc.).

i'm not bitter, just feel it's a bit 'sayang'. i'm fully aware that that's the way the technology 'game' goes... i paid $590 for my first 2 MP compact. it was :thumbsd:

Is there any battery pack attach to the base of the D70? It seems that the height of the body is light and short. Can any one enlighten me?
Thanks

 

[Adzz]

no, there is no additional grip for the d70

Hmm...if one wants to buy lenses together, can use the difference to take a boeing cab to HK and spend Xmas there :lovegrin:
