Saw it from oversea forum.. It is temporally stop of production instead of running out of stock..?

I doubt the firmware really help ..
But as long as it doesn't appear on the photo, for me.. Acceptable.

But I really hope Tat they can do a bit fine tuning on the color profile too..
They looks very dull..

Btw, I saw Harvey Norman suntec still got stock.

It's more than a firmware that can fixed. More involve some hardware glitch and of cos Nikon won't announce that due to image. Well, thus require the time to retify. Wonder will those "early bird" purchaser get a 1 to 1 exchange for the new batch. :think:
 

Where did you get your source from? Don't mind hyperlink here?

google
"store manager was told today that nikon suspended"

the first flickr link will lead you to the source. not sure whether it is reliable though..

I won't count on that. I lost count on whether this news is 4th, 5th or 6th hand (not even 3rd hand).

is it a trap or what? Your this "I won't count on that." any hyperlink? :dunno:
if anything we say must have evidence..then...better all keep quiet... some are based on assumption, some are based on POV , some are based on facts/info we gathered. Is this a law's forum? :nono:

You sounded like we're running a dictatorship here, which of course is not the case here. Actually you sounded more like you're against the idea of asking for evidence... your logic...

Your logic is flawed. If one doesn't run on evidence but rather on speculations, then I can make any claim and you'll believe in that isn't it?

You mentioned some based on assumptions, some based on POV and some are based on facts (oh... a little dangerous here)... Then tell me, this 4th, 5th or 6th hand information is based on what? This is not a law forum, but this is not a flock forum (consist of unreliable information, nonsense and speculations that start from nowhere, lead to nowhere) too.

If there's no base to the information, especially when they use "some shopkeeper tells me" from that creditability-challenged users in flckr, I won't bet on it.

You can accept it, but not all of us do. :)

To quote myself after reading back, I'd like to apologize for my tone here. Nevertheless, I'll stop commenting on this topic itself to prevent paternalism on my cause. My sincere apology :(

So do we wait or can we purchase it now? Called up the camera shop and they claim that their current shipment of existing stock is from the 2nd batch.

Since Nikon acknowledge this problem and have give their word to resolve and having known that, if is hardware issue, they will have stop production already, but since they never. It should be some problem that a new firmware can resolve. Pentax and sony also using the same sensor without much problem. So you can buy now and make do with the few hot pixels until they give a patch which they are targetting by the end of this year. For the time being, just shoot RAW and you don't get to see those pixel after importing as it will auto be filtered off.

Nikon won't stop the production laa.
Stopping the production and recall the product would repeat the Toyota case (recalling the vehicle due to gas pedal issue), later global sale would drop, lose market share and...

Anyone got any idea where I can get a reasonable good deal for d7000 with credit card installment plan? Like how many % of admin fee I have to pay for credit card installment?

if i'm not wrong, harvey norman offer 0% interest free.

Ya, but they are selling at RRP. Just came back from HN suntec, the guy told me he got one set left, and whole Singapore stock level very low, so he can afford to sell at RRP.

I told him to hug onto his last set and go dreaming...

I won't pay for rrp, the most I will pay is 1.7k for body only and 2k for kit (paying cash), if using credit card, I think must add a few percent for the admin fee... Anyone know which other shop have the installment plan and what is the percentage for admin fee?

Cheers.
 

Bought mine in Mustafa day before yesterday. $2125 on installment. 0% interest. They had stock but the guy told me they sold like 20 on the same day.
