he stated tat it was new. released on sept 09 and believe me! i already did google it and find NUTHING resulting me creating a thread here.

im been conned? seriously? im taking this seriously as i planned to buy D90 at 1st. later on all the money ready the seller keeps on pushing 500D to me. my father used to cater about canon so yeah.

the money are a BIG issue since the total i payed for it

CANON EOS500D = package
KINGSTON 4GB SDHC =package
CANON RED/HUGGER BAG = 3199 (3 years warranty)
GGS 3.0" LCD SCREEN PROTECTOR = 199
T NIKON 58MM UV FILTER = 599

FOR TOTAL = RM3950

i.. have been conned???

yes, obviously and unfortunately you have been conned. GSS lcd protector shouldn't cost more than RM100, and the "T Nikon 58mm UV filter" is waaay too expensive. Even top-of-the line B+W Xs-Pro 58mm 010 UV filter only cost RM180 max.

There is only 1 type of Nikon filter, from Nikon themselves... Nikon NC (Neutral Color) filter and they are cheaper than the B+Ws.

I'm using Canon EOS 500D also.
Please read the manual. Charge it until it becomes green in color.
And it's quite obvious that you got ripped off for your UV Filter and your LCD Protector.

Sorry to say this but, yes, you've been conned.
People usually mark up the price on stickers...
PS: When I bought my DSLR, they gave me a free UV Filter.

I dunno about that filter you posted, but the closest I can find is this:

http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Pr...int-Filter.html

the HMC (if it comes from Hoya) should stand for Hoya Multi Coated
http://www.photofilter.com/hoya_filter_information_page.htm

but this one got Nikon name pulak. It is probably some cheap or fake filter (unless Nikon came out with this bulletproof/shatterproof/ whatever piece of glass 2 months ago)

This is the how the original Nikon NC filter looks like, yours is obviously a fake one with a fake Nikon name on it... perhaps it doesn't even cost more than RM30.

Willing buyer willing seller, the seller did not con you to buy it from them. Just make it a lesson and do your homework next time before you make your purchase.

I wonder, can this matter be brought up to Nikon? But I also wonder can Nikon do anything to them if they were not authorised Nikon dealer?

I remember now that Tarita have a reputation in conning people.

Just take it as a lesson. Because you're willing to buy and pay for it without much research. Perhaps some warning?

No you can't do anything.
Reason: Willing buyer, willing seller.
Just don't buy from there again and advice your friends.
Just my 2 cents.

As far as I know, Nikon only produce 1 type of filter: NC filter. These filters only serve as a protection to your front lens element, never heard of Nikon producing any non-NC filters though.

TS, seriously u kena conned d... UV filter won't cost til RM599 one. it doesn't help much in taking picture oso... even those polarize filter oso won't cost so much.

some ppl put the filter just to protect their lens and prevent dust from entering.

u better go back and ask for detail.
