Why you selling so fast? going over to the other side of the fence?
Heard the other side perform better in video mode.

Cheers...
 

wow, you are the first person to sell D7k in the BnS . . . why ?

No B&S advert here. Post deleted.

To all keep all OT out of here before this thread is closed. :nono: see the first post
The previous one was closed down. People, lets hope no OT this time round. Lets keep the news going. ;)
 

I wonder if the hot pixels will not be that bad if shooting using native ISO?

Anyone can give it a try? Cheers...
 

Just sent mine for pixel remapping.
Pixel remapping failed to correct the hot pixel.

So they are arranging an exchange for me now...

Mine starting up with 3 at iso 800, then multiply until 68 at iso 6400.
 

Please keep us update.

I've emailed to Nikon for more info about Hot pixel and the solution.

But I guess I'll just send in my camera directly.

I think u better send in.
They will not know whether pixel remapping can correct the hot pixel or not by only pictures without the camera on their hand..

I am surprise Tat they said I am the first and only person who sent in?

Anyway... Looks like Nikon service altitude is good.

Really? I just called them and an unenthusiastic lady picked up. She sounded like the whole world called her about the same issue over and over again.

She suggested to me that it's normal that there are hot pixel, and if taking normal photos (what is normal, which I asked), which I guess she meant a well-lite photo, the hotpixel will not be there. I'm astonished and nearly flabbergasted at that time.

She suggest to me to take a normal photo and email to her, which I pondering how am I going to do that in the first place (I'm at work place man). Nevertheless, I'll rush down to the service centre for them to look.

PS: Last but not least, she suggest me to 'send' them the 'normal' photo, which the only way for me, is to take a normal one on the way to the service centre, with my own memory card in the body. Meaning, the way to 'send' them, is to 'send' in the cards too (if they got no memory card reader). Is it advisable?

PS: 1st time dealing with Nikon Service Centre.
 

Does hot pixel appear on stills?
 

They do...

I guess I'll send down a later time... as I'm really tired today -_-;; and since they mentioned about normal photos, I guess I'd have quite alot to test before verifying if it falls within their range of "problems"
 

Ya. They keep insisting that it is normal for all Dslr to have hot pixel.. Making me feel like those on forums who said that it is normal is Nikon employees..

U got to firm on your stand. U can easily reproduce by long exposure for night shoot.
It appears on all my long exposure night shoots still images.

Hopefully I can get a good unit from them soon.
 

Just came back from iPhoto minutes ago. They offered me 1700$ for the body only, totally including GST. and a 8G SD
So. just contact them Remand who is a nice gentlemen.
Amazing body. but battery is low. so charging now.
I also call ms color. they quote me 1800 cash price, so sad. and recommend me to buy kit set. this is a trap?
iPhoto is good. that is body only set with Nikon Singapore stamp. but I found it is listed as " D7000 HK set" in the warrant card. is it hongkong set ?
Anyway, the body is so hot. And i can exchange another one once I found hot spot.

may i know where is iphoto? may i hv their contact no?? :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
 

Hi ziggurat, did you manage to confirm whether the iPhoto set is a grey/HK set or a local set? Believe grey sets do not have local warranty. :(

Updates for whoever is shopping for the D7000: TK Foto and iPhoto are already out of stock. AP quoted me $1,800 as well for body only. :(

I heard Cathay Photo is out of stock as well for D7000 kit or body, even the display set is gone. I also overheard two guys at Boon Brothers @Funan asking for D7000, they are out of stock too.
 

Ok I'm no Nikon employee, but I was under the impression that long exposure noise, i.e. hot pixels, is unavoidable?

Perhaps it's a matter of degree though.
 

I indeed spotted hot pixel but didn't really go and 'count' or 'examine' them in details. I guess tonight will be the night.

If I believe that it'll hinder the photos I'm about to take, I'll seriously have them re-consider telling me the hot pixel is normal :<

Yeah, certainly should be no hot pixels for normal exposures (as opposed to long exposures).

Not familiar with videos, but if there are observable hot pixels in normal videos, seems to severely handicap the function.
 

Agree that hot pixel is common.
But long exposure shoot is not uncommon for Dslr shooting?

What I know is it is extremely uncommon for me that I need to pick off the obvious hot pixel from my nightshoots with such a brand new unit. And most importantly, Nikon pixel remapping failed to address the issue.

Btw, just for info. I was told by Nikon that exposure shorter then 8 seconds is not considered as long exposure for d7000, thus the long exp nr will not kick in for those shoots.

Sorry.. Not saying about u.. But many did comment once this hot pixel issue is mentioned.
I think I read noise and hot pixels differently. Hot pixel stay on same spot for all shoots, while noise pattern various.

I just hope, at least, hot pixel is not visible or need correction to be done manually on these photos.

Pray hard for my next unit..
