If the warranty policy did not change
Only Singapore sets are covered by Nikon Singapore
Just make sure you test the left Af - if it's issue free, your call...
I would consider the time and effort taken to go down to Jb itself

Nikon Bodies do not have international warranty. So if you buy from Malaysia, for warranty, you'll have to go to Nikon service centre in Malaysia.
It is not always possible to test all 51 AF points and know for sure if there are AF in a shop environment and what would you do when you are not allowed to test all units/tested all units and all have AF issues?
For the D800/E I would suggest that you save the trouble and buy from SG with warranty so that if you have AF issues, you can get it fixed and collected. It is 12 + 3 months warranty.

body only?
Dear all,
I was a D7000 user. When i was using the Live View of D7000, the brightness of the scene on the LCD will change according to the exposure compensation that i dialed in.
When i am using the LV of D800, no matter how i adjust the exp compensation, the scene brightness on LCD does not change. The photos taken with LV do respond according to the exp compensation though.
Is there any adjustment in the setting i need to make to activate the real-time response of LCD brightness according to exp compensation?
Thanks in advance for your advice

Hi bros, just manage to lay my hands on a D800e. looking around for the CF cards. Noticed that the manual indicated example professional series 133x, 400x, 600x and 1000x cards are approved cards by Nikon USA. But differs slightly from what the manual had mentioned 133x, 400x, 600 only.
Saw one other CF card 800x at a reasonable priced. They are all UDMA 7 compatible. Anyone tried it before? Nikon responded that they cannot guraantee items not listed in the website/manual. Though that their product support would have periodically test and update users on the various cards compatible.
Any other reliable resources for a second opinion? Thanks in advance.

Used a Lexar 1000x cf card in my d800e. No probs. Try not to go above 32gb though, another friend who use a d800 had some issues reportedly with a SanDisk 64gb extreme cf.
Yes. Many brudders here using 1000x lexar 32GB
Get from bhp or adorama during their sale period. 2 pcs bundle cheaper.
Suggest to stick to the brands in nikon's list. I had problems with Kingston and transcend.

Looking at this pic makes me very angry at the haze now!
Thanks, this image is like a breadth of fresh air!

Hahaha! Maybe I should reshoot this scene in the haze...the buildings should look like towers in the mist, or perhaps you can't even see them!
I did shoot one when the haze was still light. It's there but not obvious here.
