sgd = myr 2.4 rite??
means shud be around 3.300++ good buy bro. last time my frens selling 6month D90 3.6k. dont know why he selling D90 for A700

Yeah, less than a year ago, I sold off my Nikon D60 and Tamron 1750 (built in motor) and also my Cybertik flash.
I was contemplating between Sony A700 and Nikon D90
Things i like on both are:
D90
-Has a top LCD for infos
-Much better battery life than the A700
-The 18-105VR lens is cheaper than Sony's DT 16-105
-Battery grip is cheaper than sony's
-Can do CLS
-A lil bit better in terms of low noise at high iso (but if im not mistaken the D90 is using sony's image sensor)
A700
-Overall better grip than D90 / bigger body and better looking too.
-Magnesium alloy construction & supposed weather sealing (though I suspect it is lesser in comparison to D300). Do remember that u need weather sealed lenses too...otherwise water will get into the lens and then the body too.
-Has a built in image stabilizer (which is great cause u can have vr on the 50mm as well as on ALL other lenses)
-Great battery grip and has a ton of buttons
-The Sony F58 flashgun is really nice with the spinning head
I went for the D90 because of a the great battery life and top LCD which i really do use and saves battery and also avoids animals/wildlife from running away when changing the settings (aperture/shutter etc). On the a700 u have to use the main LCD which lights up your face and will use a lot more battery power. Though most alpha users will say using the main LCD is better...not my cup of tea
