Currently only managed to find those which only few months old, so the price a bit high.

Did you check the shutter count when you first got your camera? Did you have to set the time, time zone etc when you first turn it on? You can still check present shutter count and match it against the pics that you have taken. Then you will know whether the camera isn't new.

Also with the complexity of DSLR nowadays, you could still end up with a lemon straight from the factory. So many thing can go wrong. shocking.gif

ya, when buying that time, the salesguy gave it to me to test, n i set the time/date/zone myself
shutter count haven check, but i think shutter count sure off 1
cos Nikon HK changed the whole internal circuit boards to new 1

any products nowadays sure got a 'problematic' production batch
especially the infamous '1st batch'
mine is 1st batch...

RM 1,800 is considered cheap already for a new D60 kit.. most shops still sell at RM2,000. The shop I bought it from a month ago sold it for RM2,350 - but here's the catch. My mom went on an electrical product shopping spree for our new house on Jusco One Utama J-Card Day, and collected like RM2k or so worth of vouchers. So basically my D60 kit is almost free laugh.gif
