Newbie here. I went Funan to source around yesterday as I'm planning to get D7000 with kit lens (for the time being) by this weekend. Here are some quotes I received.

TK foto - $1,869 cash with freebies*
John 3:16 - $1,890 cash with freebies*
Alan Photo - $1,890 cash with freebies*, free AF50mm lens collect on the spot
Challenger - $2,099 cash/nets/card with freebies
e-quote from MS Color - $1,899 with freebies*
SLR Revolution - $1,852 cash with freebies*

* standard freebies (most no travel bag, not that it matters anyway) as per the Great Nikon Sale - http://sg.nikon-asia.com/pagearticle.php?view=full&pageid=260-668be00262

Going back later today to get from SLR Revolution. They also quote me $36 IIRC for the Hoya HMC 67mm UV filter.
Getting excited already

It's normal, Malaysian price is even cheaper

 

[Cowseye]

Yep, it's normal for DSLR to drop at that rate. Only where dropping by hundreds then it's the sign of it's eol.
Such as d3000, only $399 -_-". cheaper than a lot of compact!

Just got mine from SLRR for 1852! new owner of a d7000 now nikon provides a 50mm f1.8/D with it, seems like a good deal as it's only 300 up from the d90 after adding in the lens cost.

Damn, just noticed 2 black spots on my photos after a fireworks shoot yesterday and a tiny black spot when i look through the view finder. Attempted a , mirror lock-up and blower-blowing action but that didn't remedy the problem. Looks like i have to bring it down for a cleaning. Any idea how much a cleaning would cost ?

Ooo, will probably bring my camera down and hopefully my Charms could grant me the same FOC privilege you enjoyed. Heh, I just realized the black spot in the view finder was due to oil lodged on the view finding itself ! Haha a simple wet cloth fixed that. Feel pretty dimwitted now. Heh

Hi! Just bought the D7000 kit today from TK. It's great except I noticed it has a shutter count of 53 already although the salesguy brought out a "brand-new" set. Should I be annoyed by this?

I believe is normal as the camera is tested by QA before it is ship out...
