nikon one probably the slowest speed of all
dun compare with that

Well Sandisk Ultra II has 15MB/S read/write while Sandisk Extreme III has 30MB/S read/write.

So the question is would it be sufficient with the 15MB/S or shall we go all the way.

Speaking of memory cards, my cheapo DNA 4 GB SDHC apparently is faster than a regular Sandisk 2 GB SD Card.....

4 GB


2 GB

u could try this, turn off high ISO NR, turn off image preview after shooting. and set AF to AF-C. give it a try and post it here the result

how bout toshiba 2gb sdhc? wats the speed like?

SDHC 8gb sandisk RM84 only now
drop again

price drop really fast. last time bought a 4gb extreme ducati edition for rm350

Normal version right ?

where u bought? so cheap ar?

Hey there, i am about to get a SLR for myself. At the moment i am considering A300 vs D80, i was quite committed into getting the A300 due to it's relatively affordable price. But after all the reviews in which i have read all over the internet, it seems that D80 has got the upper hand. For those that have just bought D80 may i know what's the price range for D80 (Only Body) cost?

If i were to get D80, i am planning to get only it's body and the 18-70mm lens as it would cost much lesser. Again may i know the price for the body itself without the kit lens which has been provided.

D80 Body only can be bought now for only RM 2k - 2.1k. If you like, the newly launched 18-105mm VR lens is said to be pretty good. I'm sure there are many peeps with the D90 now letting go of that lens for 1k. Good luck mate!

Thanks for the reply, would any shop be willing to sell off the D80 only with the body itself, since the package is bundled together with kit lens. Is there any recommendation as to which shop i should purchase it from? As far as i am concern Foto Shangrila seems to have competitive prices.

Not really... there is a "Body Only" D80 package for the price that I mentioned. You don't have to get the Kit Package.

If Foto Shangri-La can give you these prices (or cheaper) then don't waste your time to shop around. If they can't, there are some shops that forumers would recommend.

care to share where u got it from fren?

i bought mine today for RM2899 and comes with the following:

D80 Body
15 - 135mm Kit Lense
Original Nikon Bag
Large Nikon Tripod
4GB Kingmax SD Card

at Photo Miami Warehouse sale



I would need alot of help from this forum though as i'm a total noobie on SLR.....

bro, is this a class 6? if it is.. mind sharing where u got it?


there'a a forumer who sells AData class 6 8GB around rm100.. but currently he got no stock

I got Class 6 Transcend Lifetime warranty 16gb lobang.
RM 190 per piece.

Should be 18-135 kit lens

anyone here using ML-L3?

D80 new firmware

Click HERE

I am planning only to get D80 body + 18 - 70mm Lens, hopefully i could get it at Rm 2.5k. Going to check out the prices around Sg. Wang and Lowyat soon.

if u buy 2nd hand can get ler.. if buy new set.. definately more than that... cuz new body rm2080++ lens is few hundred
anyway.. if u buy d80 kit, all come wif 18-135mm.. 18-70mm can look for 2nd hand... around 600++

Wahhh, 2nd hand 18-70mm cost around 600++??, i was told that it is about 300++. Maybe i heard it wrongly, damn.

Well, the kit-len for D80 doesn't have VR, do you guys think it's worth to change the kit-len for 18-135 VR when we buy D80 and roughly how much we need to top-up?

@ bold : I never come across any lens in that range with VR. If you mean 18-105 VR, then yes. It's a D90 kit lens.
How much ? I can get it at RM 900

Yaya, should be 18-105 VR . Btw, is RM900 price available for public or it's just a special offer for you only?

Got different one ar ?

errr...of course got diff....some ppl is selling it at 1k....that is 100 diff....
read some threads...18-105VR is hood is made of HB-32 plastic bayonet..in term of durability and longevity it might be a problem...

if pretty weird D80 buyer don't want the kit lens (aiming for 18-195VR mistake should be 18-105VR) and D90 don't want it as well aiming something else like (18-200VR might be wrong with the code...to many to remember)....

@ bold : D80 thread create lots of new lens for Nikon

lol.. i realize there is alot of new lens also.... not even hear it in the market...

anyway... any guys here using JENIS battery grip?

Jenis should be same brand as GENESIS.
Using MB-D80 btw.

Gotta find a reliable shop with D90 before selling out my D80.

i'm using the JENIS brand battery grip wif LCD n few function.. only RM300.. bought from digi color... not bad thought...but for sure the handling comfort is not as good as nikon's

How I know, perhaps you got special lobang .

Btw, is it worth to change 18-105 non-VR kit-len to 18-105 VR?

Can post some photos of the battery grip ?


D80 kit lens is 18-135
Worth ? Not sure. No review about D90 kit lens yet.

There has never been a 18-105mm non-VR lens.

not worth it to change the 18-135 - to a 18-105 VR
LOL

better get 70-300mm VR

Added on September 29, 2008, 9:15 amor 18-200mm VR

Paiseh, at first I thought the difference between D80 & D90 kit-len is just VR feature

Wow this thread has created a lot of new lenses

can view it here:- JENIS official web

May i know what is VR?
I'm kinda new here. I'm planing to get d80+kit lense next month.
I havent survey the prices yet and the package.
Does the package usually comes with bag and tripod?

VR = Vibration Reduction.

Package depends on shop.

VR is still too expensive for me. I'll stick with the normal lens first.
Slowly upgrade.
Anyone know how much is it in the market now for d80 package?
i saw in lyn forum is 3200

shashinki very cheap 28XX something like tat

Btw, i saw some post says there is nikon and grey market.
How can i be sure that its original from nikon.
Got any picture that i can view?

look at the warranty card if it says from nikon malaysia means original

Latest price D80 kit = RM2,800 free bag and 2 GB

thanks KTCY
where you find it?
got link?
Hopefully it will drop more and not increase next month, planning to get in on my first salary

Trust me, the price won't drop any further. It drop RM 500 already since the D90 hit the market.

i found sandisk 8gb SDHC selling at all it digital mall yesterday at RM77... hmn...
