thx a lot. d700 a little expensive...

D700 is RM$600 more ex.

maybe due to out of stock? i can wait, until D800 come out, haha!

Just heard this today from the folks over the causeway.

D700 is almost totally out of stock in whole of MY. Those places still have some stock have all raised their prices. From what the folks there told me, D700 manufacturing is first affected by the Tsunami, then the move to Malaysia, and now the floods in Thailand, cutting off parts supply for some components.

For other cams that are made in Thailand like D7000, D5100 etc.. the next coming batch will be the final batch. No shipments are scheduled after that, and no indication of when the shipments will resume. Prepare to see prices soar.

Good luck. And if you can, buy soon.

I drive and can take 4 people. (more bargaining power) No bags allowed while going in and I reserve the right to check any that you bring in to Singapore. No other shopping other than camera. I am sure you will understand why. We will need to call them to see if they have stocks and what is the best price they can offer. PM me those who are interested. I am lost between the D7000 and D5100.
