wow~ thanks KenBit, for the breakdown ^^
yah... just thinking again, all the stuff might not be neccessary for me yet...
i guess i'll just get the basic stuff first =]
hmm... seems like the current best deal is what zackz stated.
I intend to buy it maybe next week... by the time, will the price drop again? am trying hard not to be implusive ^^; haha
i bought from CP 2 weeks ago @ $1636 and SB900 speedlite @ $625....
OMG another one, just realized that 8GB not high speed card is only $32 so actually I find the audio house promotion as something not really good. And usually they do have some very bad sales antics, when you go down, they will tell you this or that is not available.
So let me calculate, again.
8GB - $32
4GB - Free anywhere else if you buy the kit
30L Dry Cab - $108 Maybe even lesser
Tripod - $30
Case - $10 Max?
Cleaning Kit - $8-$10
Batt Grip - Is it original? 3rd Party about $100? But don't mess around with 3rd party items related to batteries on the D90 as others mention they have some complains with the battery not being able to charge on D90 charger, so looks like Nikon knows about it and have fixed it such that only original batteries can be used. Original - $160.
So - $1988 - 32 - 108 - 30 - 10 - 10 - 160 (benefit of doubt) = 1638
Assuming the grip is not original - 1988 - 32 - 108 - 30 - 10 - 10 - 100 = 1698
Which is not really worth it as kits are going at about $1400-$1500 nowadays so 198 for dry cab + grip is not really good considering its 3rd party and dry cab is only 30L
Is the kit price after GST? And does it come along with a 4GB memory card and bag?
As for tripods read this, http://bythom.com/support.htm
As for 3rd party battery, up to you. But do note that if the battery damaged your camera while the 3rd party battery is in it, the warranty is void(should NSC find out lol).
Went down to Funan today, went to the camera shops level by level for the price...
the price for rest of the shops are over $1680... (for the same stuff)
and then went to harvey norman...
the first time I asked, the attendant told me $1988 (= =lll) then he said if pay by cash, he can offer $1690 for just the kit set... no memory card wor... I just left
Then... after thinking... I went back again and approach a different attendant.
He offered $1690(by cash) for kit set + 4GB memory card, then I told him that I heard from others about a better offer. After negotiating, I got same offer as zackz ^^
$1680(by cash) for D90 kit + 4GB Lexar memory card + Lowepro 190AW with Nikon logo + canon SL1200 tripod ^^; (cause no stock for the nikon's)
Was implesive and bought it today... >< cause the guy said even if a few of us buy together the price will still be the same... sorry shutterfly... m(_ _)m

Total damage was: $1900 [$1680 + $192(2yr extended warrenty) + $28(Stein Zeiser UV filter)]
