Bro I think you rather grab D7000 than D5100 since D7000 is higher range than D5100.

he is perhaps limited by his budget?
50mm prime - $180
Dry cabi - $120
and bla bla bla.......
Wow, u are indeed a great seller! I had so much trouble selling my brand new 18-105mm for a mere $300. Not really worth the effort i must say.
Anyway, the 5% rebate by stand chart is called Manhattan card. U would need to spend $3000 in a single statement to qualify for that. It's the best cash rebate card available here in sgp. That said, it's NOT a direct rebate. You still need to spend $701 to hit the $3000. Banks are no idiot, if they can provide this rebate, they can get back at least twice of this amount but let's not get into that.
Guys, no point talking about it. If one think he got a good deal, why bother? Take out D7000 and shoot more lar.
He don't earn a single cent doing this huge amount of effort organising a GB. I certainly hope he gets VIP treatment over there after this though. Maybe you would like to do it on a new D5100 thread.

Ppl needs to see the whole picture. He had indeed save $115 overall with all the selling and sourcing for buyers. It's a great thing for him.
But without knowing these, would ppl understand the hassle if he didn't share his experience. He's lucky I must say. Imagine if everyone buy and sell freebies like the way he do, how many can make actual sales. There will be so many 50mm, bags and other accessories flooded into BnS. Eventually they will be forced to under cut each other to make sale. Considering all these. Buying from IT show still does not make sense.

Several things to note:
1. Not trying to contradict your statement. I was just trying to prove that with the proper research and homework and manipulating existing resources, I can make the IT deal I got much better than the regular deal that most people here would have gotten.
2. It is true that it will be a hassle to sell every freebie I agree with you, that's why I feel that the deal is good for people who actually want the dry cabi/bag/prime etc. Because ultimately you are paying less for it than if you buy only a kit, and you buy the rest at a non-discounted price (you will lose out overall).
3. It is really not difficult to sell the accessories at all, after the fair, demand will surge as people start looking out for cheap brand new primes/cabi. It's a win-win situation. Demand will surge to counter the increase in supply. Equilibrium may possibly still remain the same.
4. Thank you Enjoy for pointing it out. He is right I used the best single rebate card in town. $3k is a daunting figure to accumulate. But the thing is you don't have to do it yourself. Just pair up with a friend and both of you guys can earn 5% off everything u guys buy all with a same card. $701 is really not difficult at all during a fair.
5. It is true that most people will not see the big picture behind the good price I got, but it is not difficult to do it. And please do not attribute it to luck. There was no element of luck in my course of actions.
6. All in all, I am just sharing how you can get a mega good deal at the IT fair. $1.7k or cheaper for kit lens set.

Since the D7000 lens zooms in and out focusing continuosuly in video shoot does it "damage" the servo of the lens in long-term use ???? :sweat:
I think NIKON lens are not made for continuous and extended focusing in and out
Maybe fix a 18-55mm lens and then spolit nevermind :think:
Here what going through my mind. You are doing shuttle run while taking yourself with D7000. AF-F follows you focusing back and forth non-stop. How long do you think it will take before the motor dies? Haha, sorry to crack a joke on you. I trust the quality of lens. The electronics will probably die faster before the wear and tear of the focusing motor.
Not sure if I'm wrong. But i read somewhere that the D7000 video is limited to 20mins or 4GB size equivalent due to the FAT32 limitation in the memory card.
(Pls kindly correct me if i am wrong thx)
I went Class 10 cos it was pretty cheap. Not much price difference from Class 6.
My 16gb Sandisk Extreme (30MB/s) cost S$67 with free lenspen @ IT Show. Tempting for me to skip and go Class 10 directly.

Yep ! You are right.
My friend is limited by his budget and he also likes the articulated LCD display of the Nikon D5100..
I guess samueltan99 is exhausted from the last GB. LOL !
I guess we can start a new thread for D5100. I think it is available by 21st April.
;p:thumbsup:
