but jumping from D80 to D4 is a very very big gab indeed,like driving a wira den change to lambo...
btw...
if going to test d ISO...
should use same exposure...

D800 10,388 :'(
crazy expensive!!!

i wan jump from nissan sunny to nissan 350z

but need save 10 months salary for that

I met with a Nikon folk yesterday and he owns D3s and D300 after D70 and D80.

He said that according to some source, the battery of D800 couldn't last many shots when shoot at maximum MP. Anyone pass through this kind of information?

Yes, the D800 battery is smaller in capacity but the camera itself is much more power efficient so overall performance from the battery should be more or less equal to D700. The CIPA result was tested by shooting a shot every second with all the features turned on including the in-body flash and it still got about 900 shots. So, in normal use it will last about 1200-1400 shots easily.

Phews~ that's a safe mark. He told me it was at ridiculous 40+ shots compared with 400+ shots of Nikon D3s

In anyway, I'm kinda lost now after the D800/D800E is not something I want as a full frame camera. Probably settle down with D700 or second hand D3s?

not just you're lost! Ridiculous Nikon Malaysia make me lost too!!! A whopping 1k above what I initially expect on the price of D800 would be! They're charging the same price as in UK when they are having a 20% VAT. Absolutely rubbish from Nikon Malaysia!!!!!!!!


BTW, D3s can easily get 2k of shot on one charge la. . .

Hi everyone...
i wan ask about which best lens super zoom to use at evening party in low light n do necessary need speedlight?

70-200 f/2.8 VRII

shashinki has the tendency to mark up their price. take D4 for example, street price is RM19.5k - RM19.8k, their's is RM20888. So do the maths for D800. I know I was quoted Rm19.5k for the D4 in Penang Hope that will lighten you up a bit, but then again I could be wrong

I want it at 9.2k!!!!
10.3k i can get D800E if I'm actually in US!
Malaysia ppl richer than US?!!!
Nikon Malaysia lousy la!

Celaka. . .now must count count count see how to squeeze out that 1k

Well, celciuz mentioned the possible street price for D800 is around 9.5K ~ 9.8K. If you do some homework around, probably you could reach somewhere near your estimation of 9.2K budget. What's the fuss bro?

it won't be 9.5k alr lo with the RSP of 10,899, the lowest i think 10k-10.2k la for the next 4-6 months.
the fuss is that D4 and D800 both so much more expensive than other countries, and Malaysia doesn't tax these items, yet it still so expensive.

and celciuz so called info is before Nikon Malaysia actually announces the RSP. . . they only announced it this morning. So, all the dealers would only know their cost this morning.

I believe those reseller that provided the street price estimation already knew the official price before this morning. Well, I'm not gonna pursue this debate anymore as the result will be revealed soon once we checked the street price soon. Keep your fingers crossed till then

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

Just checked with Yannick and he estimated his selling price at RM9.5K, go get it if you really want

I think this should be posted on leica thread but I usually hang out here so haha!


Leica M8 o_O by neF.c, on Flickr

broom broom broom!!! Go Go Go!!! but wanna test it out first. . . Yannick how to test wor
was thinking of getting the 24mm 1.4G too when purchasing the D800, now the D800 so expensive cannot get the 24mm 1.4G dy lo, that's y geram geram!!!

are you capturing individuals or groups portraits? or candid?
every low light needs some kind of light source, if environment is well lit, you maybe able to get away with a fast lens f1.4/f1.8 with a high ISO, but since you mentioned zoom, nothing comes close to a 70-200mm VR

Aiseh, msia price is too expensive... Will cancel my pre order with shashinki lor like this.
