almost wanna buy sb-600 before hari raya, then heard the replacement will announce soon on 15th sept.
Hold to buy it, even sacrifice my brother engagement ceremony by using built in flash to take picture.

And today, SB-700 was announced. Haha... will grab it as soon as it available.
how much the estimated price anyway?

I'm hoping it'll be about 1k. Amazon taking pre orders for $329.95

It'll be released in late Nov rite? anyone read about it yet?

then has the price of d90 decreased ? o.O

it is a slightly less powerful replacement for the SB-600, somemore recycling time is only approximately 2.5 seconds with NiMH batteries and alkaline batteries and approximately 3.5 seconds with lithium batteries which is same as SB-600 too...
so what make it so much expensive?

well i guess because of the MASTER mode in sb700

I doubt D90 price would reduce, this D7000 is more like another range from Nikon instead of replacing D90. It comes with features like weather seal and magnesium alloy which is only available up to now on Nikon's semi pro and pro bodies.

Most likely, up to now only SB800 and SB900 (flagship products) have the master function.

its a blend of both...u still can say it is replacing D90, jz tat it replace the previous price point as well...
tats y D90 lower earlier to give way...and so yes...i doubt oso will further reduce....
its next path should be discontinue liao...
u probably find it cheaper for another 2 years later 
but curious of the description there...condensed master mode.......

lol man....yea..you're right...drop drop drop...sad case...haha..well this is tech stuff...better to invest in lens than a new body...unless your current body cant serve your needs...
well its entirely up to you actually...50D is a good buy with magnesium body and weather sealing..its quite a bargain...but d90 is pretty good as well with HD video recording (which no1 really uses as it does not support external mic input)..but ultimately, whether you go to nikon or canon will depends on how you wanna proceed..whether you prefer the colours produced by canon and nikon and the accessories (lens, flash) that each of the camera manufacturer produces...

for me, i would go for the 50D mainly cause canon has a wider selection of lenses...but what got me to purchase the d90 was mainly the colours it produces.. =)

hope this helps...

Canon lens are not cheaper... compare 70200 VR2 and 70200 IS2. There is quite a lot of differences there!

i always thought canon lens are cheaper beacause not as solid as nikon
