Went to iPhoto at Lucky Plaza (#01-79) on Saturday and they still have stock. They quote $835.
Is this price for the body only? or with kit lens?
Kit price.
thks, i just got hold of this camera at $845 from the shop u recommended.. its possible to trade in your kit lens but the rebate he gave was a mere $90..
Can i ask a noobie question?
When i use the view finder to take a pic of my cupboard, i zoom till the edge of the cupboard sits right on the edge of my view finder. After i took the pic, when i did a playback, the picture taken contains beyond the edge of the cupboard. i.e. the object is smaller in the photo.
However, when i use the LCD screen to take the pic, the end result is same as what was shown on the LCD screen, i.e. no change in size.. can some kind soul explain if this is normal? and teach this noobie a thing or 2? :bsmilie:

another qn, from page 46 of the manual, it states that:
"to take a photograph during movie recording, press the shutter release button all the way down and hold in this position until the shuttle is released."
I started movie recording, but when I depress the shutter, the movie recording stops before the photo is taken.. is this the correct behavior?

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a flash for my D3100, and I'm wondering if any flash would do. My budget is actually quite minimal, around $100, so I'm also wondering if I'd be better off not buying a flash at this moment. I don't need something very big, just a basic basic model would do. Any help please?

Either look at the SB-400 or save it up for a better flash next time when you need it.

Nope. Only wired.
Original no but 3rd party RF type 2 pieces (remote/reviver) should have..
Those receiver to plug in the MC-DC2 remote port.
Those for D3000/D5000/D90 should be compatible as all using MC-DC2, look for
it at the Mass Sale section.
yongnou 467 for nikon 130sg should be a good start not so expensive compared to the nikon flash

You are able to use FX/DX lens on the D3100 without any problems but note that as the camera itself does not have the focusing screw for older lenses to AF.
As for storing in the dry cabinet, either storing it with lens attached or not does not matter.
