I think D3 shutter count limit is 300k. I seriously doubt I'll even use until 100k before I upgrade the body.

Nikon event this weekend? Will go look see look see if got time.

Aiyah I should have taken the Launch Itinerary and scan for everyone.

I remember vaguely got demos, tutorial sessions, etc. and model shoot. In true 1malaysia style

Day 1: Baju Kurung
Day 2: Sari
Day 3: Cheongsam

Something like that. I think congratulations to the folks who brought this Centre to life. My fav is looking at all the line up of cameras, both digital and non digital. From the days of D100 to D300s, D1 to D3, also got the D40/50/60/70/80/90 as well as the older fav like FM2, F3, F4, F5, F6. Worth going to see. I was there at 10am and I had uninhibited and uninterrupted access to all the new toys. I can tell you i works having those toys there. My first time playing with D700 and now I seriously considering upgrade from my D300. Of course no one would be silly enough to buy from there, but hey at the end of the day Nikon wins coz someone is buying Nikon from some other dealer. That's why this is a showroom ma, to showcase their stuff where most dealers wont even let orinary people touch one. Or they let their fren fren photog touch only. It's ok to aspire and dream mah and the dream starts at the Nikon centre lorr. btw i dont work for Nikon, i'm only a huge fan.

300k? Wow... thats a lot. It'll last almost a life time. I wonder how much is the D700? Similar figures too?

I'm interested with the Day 3 one. Yeah, I agree... I do love the line ups from entry level all the way to higher end ones. I like the F6 cameras. They are still on sale right?

5D2 150,000 expected shutter life; and all recent pro bodies have an expected shutter life of 300,000... including the 1DsIII, 1D3, 1D4. 300k isn't that far reach... you can hold down the shutter button on the D3 for half a day and definitely you'll hit the 300,000 mark

afterall you're holding a 9-frames-per-second machine you know?

Don't you mean 11 fps?























(In DX mode of course )

An opportunity to ask the Nikon reps on the D900?

lol....i still remember my friends reaction at the Nikon exhibition (@ mid valley) recently!.
he was there to touch DSLR for the first time and to get one too...
so happened, that he walked to the D3/D3X(dont remember) and started pressing the shutter...
i can literally see his eye popped out! hahah

eh i've heard this D900 thing before... juz now google a bit n a website said it's gonna be nikon's new (wel, in 2008) camera instead of the D3x? but then D3x lanched, so what's up with this D900 thingy?

gahh i really hope i can afford a D90 replacement by the time it's available in msia

Why is everyone so shocked by the D3 shutter speed instead of the image quality?

cuz in normal lighting, the quality not much difference from D40 etc ;p cant even see difference on the LCD screen

yeah me going ...

nothing else better to do after all

yes, one can't judge IQ on the puny 3" screen.

my friend is new and he couldn't differentiate the pic quality from a d40 or a d3x yet ...
switching from a P&S to dslr, the speed and sound of the shutter amazes ppl..

cos image quality depends on lens n skills oso
only the shutter speed is somethg u cant imitate using skills on other bodies

I guess the shutter speed and the sound it makes are more apparent to a normal consumer who's standing next to it. These are more tangible.

servicing still at PJ. At BTS just showroom.

By the way, what is the difference between the Fieldscope and the other lenses on display at the window?

I tried 8 lenses at BTS nikon centre yesterday, the staff is so friendly to put poison on everyone.
