jz came back from my HK vacation

will post my pics asap
not tonite, too tired...

if Nikon really comes out an official battery grip for D5000, i sure sapu!!

btw, taking a long time to upload my pics from HK
so still cant post it tonite...
n yah, enjoyed using my SB900!

Speaking about Nikon Service Centre,
is coincidence or luck or wat?

My D5000 is AP model from HK,
i went HK for vacation,
then my D5000 rosak there,
then HK's Nikon Service Centre is nearby my hotel,
n my D5000 is registered in their database,
so i got it fixed in 2 days for free
LOL

i was jz taking pics, switched it off
then few minutes later wanna take pics again
tried to switch on but no reaction, totally dead

problem didn really found out,
cos i explain to the staff im from MY,
staying for 9 days only, n i nid it fixed quickly to take pics
so in the end the problem cant b rectified in the 2 days,
so they changed the whole internal circuit boards & etc

Here's some HK night view taken from Victoria's Peak



btw, darn @#$% stupid i lost my SB900 bundled diffuser dome

No...
wan 2 bring but my mother takut overweight for check-in baggage...
so quite many blurry pics, in the end i got the idea placing my cam on top of telescopes available there

ya, bad luck...
but ordered the diffuser d, now postage on the way
will upload more pics soon

thx,
i'll accept any advise

im still not familiar wif manual settings
so the 3rd pic i used built-in night landscape scene mode
it came out like dat
lots of clouds cos it was raining earlier
n HK haze is worse than MY!!

ya...
i feel stupid being the only 1 wif DSLR without tripod that nite...
some even at least got monopod...

btw, cheapest Nikon DSLR sold in HK is D5000, no D60 or lower
n plenty tourists n locals using D3 or Canon 1D >.<
c ppl use cheapest Nikon model oso D80/D90(can easily identify wif the lcd screen on top)
none D40/40X/60/5000 users

the retail price off cos is the same wif here...
but the street price is quite low i think

im not sure the prices of Nikon
as i dun wanna ask the shops
cos HK shopkeepers r known to scold u if u ask but dun buy
but i know a forumer bought a Canon 500D in HK for RM2900 only after conversion!

lol, u not posted u got your D5000 d meh?
almost made me confused u r another new owner
