D7000 users...fall in!!! Part 3

[seezhijie]

so $350 is good price compared with your purchase. Maybe to clear stock for new model, SB710 ?? next month Nikon having new products release...

SGCameraStore doesn't holds SB700 according to the website. They probably only got several sets over to sale

I know I can call to check the price. But I don like it when I ask and not buy. So... Anyone knows the rough price of the original battery grip for d7000 and does it increase the FPS?

If I'm not wrong it around 270+/- can't rem,

And if I'm not wrong, nope it won't

 

[iamveryclever]

Oh? It doesn't increase the fps? In other words. Apart from using it in portrait orientation, and longer battery life, there is no other usage to it. Think I should save up for other things instead.

Well it has weather and dust sealing, if that even matters to you. 3rd party grips have reversed dials from what I heard, but are cheaper. Anyway scroll up a bit and you'll find some extra info we just discussed

D300s with MB10 +1fps, e.g from 7fps to 8fps.

 

[Cowseye]

that i'm not too sure. but i believe it can't be 350 even if it's grey set. plus i'm not gonna pay extra $73 just for local warranty -.-

I was quoted $330 when SB-700 first launched at Bally photo, they declared export set, I still dare not buy

 

[SkimMilk]

I have some good news to share.
Hercules battery grip's dial are NOT reversed.
Plus SGCameraStore is on a one-day sale sellin the grip at 68

If they were to bundle with a Nikon 18-200mm VR 2 for the same or similar price, maybe it will light up some of those who wants to join the DSLR bandwagon. It's the same old bundle tried during 3rd quarter PC show and succeeded getting people to buy.
Seriously, those package that are given by megastore is really just so-so. Just becos they look entirely different than what street is offering doesn't mean they are better. Ultimately, you are still paying a little more for the freebies that you cannot choose.
I've yet to see any camera offer from any megastore that are really interesting....

Sounds like requesting for charity.. How can that be possible due to so many over head cost.. All the bundles are decided by the makers I suppose.. N not by the resellers..

Yo zhijie, how's the quality of the grip? Does it come with a pouch?

This bundle are decided by the megastore this time, y would nikon give away sigma lenses?? My scenario would be more likely decided by makers.

That's y I said, it's nothing exciting. Even selling camera at street price in shows are more interesting than this bundle.

hmm hercules bg? i'm using 1, it's like original but without weather sealing and made of plastic =).. but feels solid.

 

[hawthorne907]

I bought yesterday as well. Pretty decent. But the front dial for aperture is reversed. ISO okay. Quality feels similar to original definitely. Unless its really important I think its good enough

hmm... its one thing that both dials are reversed, but only 1... might be tough and disorientating to use. Is it a hercules BG? i thought someone posted about their grips' dials being oriented normally
