Hello daredevil, I agree if the kit lens is 300 SGD, but if I calculate from SGD1770 import the body kit compare to the S$2,299 difference is S$529. I am not sure S$2299 need to add the 7% GST. It is just too much to keep for spare. It is half the price of a good prime lens already.
It will not sell at strictly RRP. And in Singapore, all public price tags have to be inclusive of gst by law.
D90 kit had a RRP of 1988 when first released. And after the initial madness (first month or so), prices came down to 1650-1750.
Camera bodies and kit lenses only offer local warranty. So you will not get any warranty whatsoever for import sets.
And you cannot fault the higher pricing as D7000 is a much better spec'ed camera than the D90.
I am very sure you can buy the kit set with the lens removed. That was the case when I bought my D90. Came with everything in a kit packaging but without the kit lens @ body only pricing.
Prices are all listed. You can do what you need to get the camera within your budget. If you cannot afford it, then buy a set you can. Your call. No use whining about it.
