Yeah yeah! I'm waiting for the new batch of Nikon CP5700 too. It's taking too long. Now got $$ also cannot buy. The shopkeepers always say "I think next week will come." Yeah right... Now there are so many ppl pre-ordering CP5700. And needless to say, the price went up. Dunno if can get it for less than $1600 when the new batch comes. If it continues like this, I might consider other brands liao...

BTW 007, is the batterypack essential? Maybe I'll get it together with the camera when stocks arrive. Dowanna end up 'pek cek' also.

My advice: Die die must get the batt pack. Forget a spare battery.!:gbounce:

Yeah, that is the problem. A dude sold off his ONLY 2 EN-EL1 battery and charger and waited for the battpack. Then, while he was waiting, he thought, "ah.....I need a good charger for AA size batteries, and my old GP Powerbank II charger which needs at least 13~14 hours to charge 4 x AA size batteries might not be useful........". Then he went and bought the Rayovac (<--see even the spelling is correct!) 1 hour charger. Then, everyday, he takes out the charger and batteries (28of them) and makes sure every battery is fully charge ......just to wait for the battery pack. But now, after weeks.............

Nikon, what are you doing one?

I have called their sales person, they said they also do not know when will the new stock be coming.......................
;(

whoops...that's me!!!:embrass: but i didn't sell off my li ion charger or charge my aa batteries everyday lah. heheh

007, there's a shop in lot 10 selling for RM700+ if i remember correctly. the lady even told me this is before 20% discount...even 20% discount also too ex lah. forgot to mention that gopes photo is selling it. i emailed nikon to ask them when the stocks will arrive and they asked me to call gope's photo. you can get the number from the nikon singapore website. but they are selling at $235 (higher than the recommended retail price). refuse to buy.

haha, I feel amused.

You know what? Thanks for all your helps.
I didn't manage to get a battery pack. The reason is very simple enough.
Remember last time somebody mentioned the availability of battery pack in a camera shop called ," lord camera". Then the next day a guy bought it immediately. And drummberboy just mentioned on Thursday, then the battery pack was being purchased immediately (just phoned the shop, the boss told me that!). I was busy on last Thursday, too bad......I really understand that you all were trying to help. anyway, thanks. :angel: I really appreciate it. Nikon is the one to blame:angry: haha. what to do? last set also (in such a high price also got ppl want to grab!)sigh............

anyway, got a new charger and 2 new batteries. Thanks for your helps, everyone who replied!:gbounce: :rbounce:
