D700 & SB 900 - All about D700 & SB900 Pricing - Singapore, HK etc

[theRBK]

the retailer didnt ask me to buy other stuff.

I just asked for price, & he said can pay by credit card etc.

yeah, but make sure you physically check that everything that supposed to be in the box is in the box personally before you pay... don't let them take the box away after you have checked everything... go through every item... very important... check the items listed here... don't let them pressure you into buying anything else... check the price of accessories if you need to buy anything, but you can always buy other stuff another day if you're not sure... sorry for being such a nag but many people have had many bad experiences there... anything you're not happy with the shop, don't hesitate to walk away

good luck and hope you get your camera

thinking of waiting 6mths for price drops , was actually looking for a SB900 at SLS, did get SB900 instead, was only selling at $670 at the same shop. My D300 has 5yrs warranty so no point selling so early.

$3799 maybe drop to $3000 in 6mths my guess.

This is a good deal. Were you served by a particular person or is this a standard package?

very hard to call on the price in 6mths time but i guess they will have to put it in such a way there can be a place for a low-end FF unless nikon have already decided FF is for semi-pro and pro level only.

Any latest price for the D700?

Any latest price for the D700?

was quoted $3799 after I bought SB900, AP was out of stocks to went to this ground floor shop a retailer listed under Nikon Spore website, saw warranty card is stamped "Nikon Singapore Pte Ltd".

from ground floor SLS Sxxx Bxx, dont know if its the convention to name stores but I err on side of caution.

Do any CSers have any idea whats the pricing in Sydney or HK as i will be travelling there soon? For Sydney, any reputatable shops that gives good prices? TIA

It will need about 1 year to drop below 3K. Should stablise at 3.3-3.5K in 6 months time.

waiting for price drop is a never ending game....
by the time the price comes down, another new release of production will be due soon, and so we wait to see what would be the lastest improvements, and when it is on the shelf, we wait for the price to drop again.....and the cycle repeats.....

You are right:thumbsup: The waiting game will never ends. Buy what you need now and start to shoot:bsmilie:

3.3k in 6 month, would have to wait rather long I should say (not to be rude to say wait long long)

Anyway to members here, please do not treat this thread like a stock market and asking checking pries every 2 days. It is getting to be abit ridiculous.

sometimes the ROI will work out better if you adopt early :bsmilie:

Hello all.
Last weekend, I bought my D700 + grip + two 4GB CF card at $4499 (Harvey Norman JP). I'm generally happy with the purchase.

One concern is that I just noticed the shutter count (from the EXIF data) is apprx 430 when I got the camera. I hope this was from the factory QA testing and hopefully I didn't get a display set. The seller assured me that it's a new set.

Can anyone share the shutter count of your new D700?

 

[gomobile]

Strange tho, when i got my d300 the shutter count was less then 10, read from exif reader, 10 is plus my testing shots. Can shutter count be reseted? I think shutter count of 400 plus is too much already, pehaps the staff was trying it?

Mine new is 0....Urs like too much, maybe the salesman tested himself?

Just a guess on my part. I did state 3.3-3.5K, right? We will see in 6 months time.

How did I derive at 3.3-3.5K in 6 months time?

D3 (body only) - $7999 (Street price about $7500)
D300 (body only) - $2999 (Street price about $2700)

8 months later
D3 (body only) - $7999 (Street price about $6400) Drop 15%
D300 (body only) - $2999 (Street price about $2100) Drop 22%

Average drop of 19%.

Now,
D700 (body only) - $4499 (Street price about $4000)

If drop by 19%, $4000 x 0.81 = $3,240
Assuming price drop followed D3 which is about 15%.

$4000 x 0.85 = $3,400.

Plausible?

Not rude at all. Your wait long long is how long? 1 year?
