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

[erictan8888]

end of year? .... wow, i planning to buy D700 in early nov... any idea that time both cameras will be out or not ?
i think that nikon might pre-empt the market by lowing the price even before sony and canon release their cameras...
this is to capture all the potential buyers... i dun think nikon will be reactive here...
they should be proactive and capture the buyers first...

just speculation la... hope nikon see this and lower price in oct then again in nov... ha ha

My guess is Dec, normally Xmas/new year sales is the "make it or break it" period of the year for any consumer product....further more the market sentiment if really bad this year, so all the big cam maker will try all their means to window dress this year's report card :thumbsup: My buy now price is $2.8k :lovegrin:

 

[coolsigg]

wow.... now dun know when is the right time to buy.... seems like price can drop anytime...
any idea when is the price stabilisation period?

the sony and canon model out how long already? anyone monitoring prices pls advise....
thanks

I think the price will drop even futher once the 5d mark2 and A900 reaches our shore end of this year.

price will always be dropping...IMHO, buy when u need it, u might be paying more now than 3 months later but then the pictures u take with the D700 might be priceless to you and cannot be measured in the few hundred dollars saved...

to paraphrase some lao jiaos in the forum, if u can afford to keep waiting, you probably dont need the camera...

start shooting more instead of worrying if the prices will drop the next day or the next week...

Hello. Does anyone know the current price of the SB 900? I'm away from SG at the moment. Also, is it a good idea to buy from the US (any idea whether the warranty is valid back in SG)? Last question - I'm still using an old old flash (SB 80). Do you think it's worth upgrading? Thanks!

Is this a local set or a grey set? PG Adelphi also has such sets selling slightly higher.

Those who can afford to wait are those who already have got a D200 or D300 plus a D40 for example. They are not in any urgent need to get it. It ain't a need, but a want.

We all know that prices of dSLR will always drop, it is a matter of how soon or how fast and when we are willing to jump in.

Just that a better camera is that wee bit better in terms of high ISO performance, get go wider, etc, etc, etc.......

Waiting for Canon 5DMkII & Sony A900 to put more price pressure on Nikon :sticktong

Hopefully it's closer to S$3000/- by year end or Chinese New Year!

Yes, it the photographer that matters but nothing wrong lusting for another DSLR
