Availability of D800E in Singapore

[catchlights]

in the mean time, I suggest looking into the implications of moire, where moire would likely turn up, go around in your daily life and spot potential moire hotspots, and how not to capture moire in the first place... and do note that once captured, luminance moire is gonna be heck of a difficult thing to remove...

I kind of worry about moire issue, cos I shoot mainly people............. with cloths on............., on white background

removing moire totally has to be done manually with photoshop, is a tedious process,

and if shooting hundreds and hundreds of images each week and many of them has such issue, I think I'll just go for D800. :sweat:

think most people bought the D800E at the RRP. only limited pieces when I collected my camera on Wednesday evening.


tried my favourite AF28-105 f3.5-4.5D at aperture f9 and 10, yet to try at bigger apertures.

i'm surprised it still produces sharp fotos. guess this lens is a keeper, to me.


will try a few more lenses this Saturday.


i only have one motor-driven lens, the Sigma 12-24 mkII. all my other lenses are D lenses.

cheers and have a nice weekend ahead!

Cheesecake do let us know how often you encounter moire on your daily usage. thank you.

There is for D800E similar issue to D800 from what i can see, if you are using 24 f1.4G, left focus point - result is soft compared to both centre and right for the same subject which are dead accurate. Strangely, no issue if you are using Live View to take the same shot - left, centre and right, all in-focus. So it is not a lens issue... Not sure if it is a HW issue or a firmware fix can settle this. Repeat the same test with 24 f1.4 on D3s - no issues, in fact tack sharp. Will do some more test with other lenses before I call Nikon SG.

Please post some of the sample of D800E also. Thanks!

Hello,

As i mainly shoot products(food) using strobes in controlled environment, my results might nt be the best gauge.

Til today, ive yet to encounter any focusing issues with all my old D lenses n the sigma 12-24 v2.

I'm v happy with the old D lenses such as 35f2, 28-105, 85f1.4, 70-180 micro n even the 18-35. Seems to be performing v well, above my expectations as i thought the 36mp would mean i mite need to upgrade to funky new G lenses and live with the suspense of changing the AFS motor should the need arises.

however, i hope to use these lenses more often in an outdr environment. Thus, more test shoots wil help.

I noticed better DR performance doing landscapes too and the sigma 12-24 v2 is a stellar performer, even at base aperture.

Battery life is outstanding too. No more D200 nightmares, if u knw wat i'm referring to with rgds to battery life in d200.

All in all, its a really outstanding camera frm Nikon and i'm glad to haf waited.

Oh, the viewNX2 is nt tat bad a raw converter software.

I mux add tat the 50f1.8d is not a stellar performer on my D800e at f1.8.

Could be a lousy copy tat ive got when i was testing the camera.

Thanks Cheesecake,

Understand,
moire seldom exist in natural environment, eg food or landscape etc..


other than these, I don't have much concern it performance.

 

[slow trekker]

Edison at SLS has both D800 and D800E in stock @ RRP. look for Sanny

NX2 come along with D800E in Singapore???

 

[zoom3]

Edison at SLS has both D800 and D800E in stock @ RRP. look for Sanny

Thanks for the lead, slow trekker.

I feel that I should caution anyone thinking of buying from them. The prices they quoted are RRP PLUS 7% GST !!! Unless they have changed their pricing strategy in the last week or so given that availabilty is starting to improve.....

 

[ihosc]

Someone said TK has stock but I was there awhile ago and was told no stock? How true are those leads?

 

[tomcat]

NX2 come along with D800E in Singapore???

View NX2 yes, but not Capture NX2.
You can download the latest version of Capture NX2 from the internet and try it for free for 60 days though. Long enough time for you to process all your holiday photos if you are going on a trip in the immediate future.

If you aren't on the list the lead doesn't hold I guess

 

[slow trekker]

Sanny at Edison SLS confirm 4488 and 4988 are net prices inclusive of gst

 

[Cheesecake]

yesssssss.... the ViewNX2. if u're talking abt the Capture NX2, then sad to say, no. pls pay for it. hehehehe

I would have been absolutely P.O. if I had bought from them :nono:

Why ah? Ain't these the RRPs?
Seems that it is easier to get better discounts off the RRP for the D800E than for the D800 from the dealers though.
