RM10.5k roughly for the D800... hmm... that's the RRP of HK? Or street pricing?

3-4yrs? not 2yrs until D900 comes out? tongue.gif

If D800 follow the same flow like D700... 3-4 years seems right tongue.gif

the pro bodies does follow about 4yrs from D2, D3 and now D4...if include D3s then its only 2yrs.
while prosumer bodies from D200 to D300 roughly follow 2yr timeline, until of cos now the D400 and D800 come and mess up the timeline tongue.gif

i would guess any future D500 and D900 would go back to the 2yr timeline.
*
Anyone can guess tongue.gif, but D700 is the semi pro FX and it has about 3.5 until D800 is out, gotta wait for D900 then can see the trend.

Street price.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Mar 20 2012, 08:06 PM)

tho fat chance of anyone here getting a D800 unless they pre-ordered very early.

i like the fact that they are giving the dual battery charger... yay!

This is standard since D3 if I'm not mistaken... so far my friends using D3/D3s all have dual slot chargers. (Damn huge!)

i'm confused as to what ur trying to show with those pics especially towards the end.

He's probably showing the ISO performance? or was it the focus test chart? Either ways the exposure looks different for me for each image o_O

dealers are only told their cost this morning, together with the RSP. So everything before is only a rough estimate from the dealers.
and with stocks running low, it would take a really GENEROUS seller to sell it at 9.5k! HAHAHAHA Hopefully there's one or two  laugh.gif
*
9500 confirmed have sellers... look harder ;-) I believe many would have known who is selling at that pricing now.

Yannick pretty reputable in this. You may call him as I just asked him this morning that the price will be estimated around RM9.5K.

He got his own registered company and providing you receipt with his company logo and registration no altogether with the stamp on the warranty card. Agito bought 24-70 f/2.8 and celciuz bought D700 from him without a fuss.
Ah~haha... guess I need to drain my own wallet this time around sad.gif

I tested both 24mm and 35mm, I preferred the 35mm's focal length. Self preference smile.gif and note also that the 35mm is better than the 24mm in terms of image sharpness especially on the MTF.

better, but would u be able to tell the difference in sharpness without a chart? unlike say a cheap 50mm 1.8d where its obviously already wide open its not sharp.
i see 24 1.4G shots already and its plenty sharp.
*
Initially when I first tested 24mm and 35mm at Nikon BTS, I felt the 35mm sharper. At that point of time, I've never seen any MTF yet or done serious comparison cause no plans to purchase yet tongue.gif (it was back in March 2011 as I was picking up my 70200 from BTS due to faulty AF.

QUOTE(hkenh @ Mar 21 2012, 07:16 PM)
Yau mo. . . .  nod.gif

i thought 24 sharper from front to back left to right aunty to uncle??? tongue.gif


Added on March 21, 2012, 7:22 pmbut like the 24 perspective more, find the 35 very similar to 50 that i alr have

I don't use 50mm much, only own a 50mm f/1.8D which is why I got the 35mm.

btw, just wondering on ur 70-200 faulty AF.
how do u store ur lens?
lying flat, or standing up?
would standing it up and not using it for awhile have something to do with it going faulty? cos of gravity and all the weight of the glass pushing down on whatever is inside?
*
Lying down. I asked them what cause it to spoil, Nikon center said don't know and claimed mine is the 'first unit'.

I think maybe the fluid dry up and the AF stuck LOL.

hardly see any fancam with DSLR wor. . .mostly they sneak in small compact or video camera
Singapore I heard if they found out at the entrance they will confiscate and put in safe box. But in safe box anything happen ie lost or damage I dunno lo
coz i heard cannot bring DSLR so i didn't even go for their SG concert (My camera D700 so big no hope of sneaking it in XD) even tho i'm in SG and even got OCBC card for early online purchases.

so, I think friday is actually a good chance to snap some nice photos of them since there is no way to control in public area

Format memory card, later go back home recover back tongue.gif

good job by fb to challenge other hosting sites, plus now no need seperate accounts.

yea, compresses.
but its still 2048, but FB at fullscreen seems to squeeze those 2048px into what is around 1500px wide.
so it somehow still looks ok, or at least better than before.
*
I don't think many people have screen that is able to display 2048 vertical tongue.gif... any screens like that out there at the moment? 4k screens? lol
