Guys, is a <1yr D700 with less than 15k shutter count reasonable at around RM5.2k???

Surprisingly M'sia has one of the highest RSP in East Asia, Taiwan RSP is at approx rm20.4k and HK dealer is asking for rm20.5k(but they have larger market tho with all the mainland china ppl).

Am thinking of selling my D700 for the D800, but if they continue this ridiculous pricing trend on the D800 I may just change my mind.

D4 pricing really is
and I'm afraid Nikon will put the RSP of D800 similar to 5DM3 of rm11k
I really wish the street price of D800 would be around rm9.3k, it would be a bad move if nikon price it too close to 5dm3 or above rm10k

more profit on each individual body sold, but total profit may be lower from lower sales, those who are looking to upgrade from crop sensor might consider the 5dm3, getting D800 would mean getting a new PC or Mac too for many since it require more processing power from the computer, and on paper it may seem to most the 5dm3 has the edge over the d800.

and those with d700 might think twice if the price is set too high.

hahaha. . .may i advise u to delete this post before someone who is responsible of pricing the D800 read this.
yeah agree the 5dm3 sample is absolutely rubbish. but it's not OOF, it the NR applied on the photo that makes it look blurred. Nikon still has the edge over Canon on NR processing.

if that is real, i'll be over the moon!!
but with the pricing of D4 that sounds too good to be true
seems like market like HK, M'sia & australia are paying to cover the cost for Nikon dumping on the US market

Cheh!!! based on predictions of old model D4's RSP would be less than 18k la. Shashinki is selling 5dm3 for 10.8k, so the street price should be about rm50-100 less only. D700's RSP is only 8.8k back then, it's a total different story now, especially with D4 & D800 ridiculous high pricing in other Asian market, surely rm9k for D800 would seem a bit far fetch now.

seems like Nikon doesn't appreciate all the Nikon fanboy in Asia. HAHAHAHAHA sad sad

good luck, with all the trend of the other Asian market, i'm guessing the RSP would be 10,388 and street price would be around 10k.
I'm only on waiting list, no deposit paid, if the price is too high i might just cont using my D700.

noise is still fairly acceptable even at iso3200 for D800 and the level of details the camera can get is astonishing, and not to mention the great DR. Incredible!

can't agree more! Not only US, in fact everywhere that have received the D4, from Czech, Germany, US, Taiwan & HK etc all have XQD 16gb and card reader included. Not only M'sia cost a hell lot more, the service sucks too! Lousy Nikon Malaysia!

Nikon Malaysia's slogan should be ''I AM SUCKING''

if NPS also no free XQD and reader, they should go and screw Nikon Malaysia. HAHAHAHAHA in fact so far every country that got D4 comes with the XQD and reader. Kinda impossible that Malaysia don't have.

should be street price, coz RSP only 1.5k

most reviews say the new 1.8 are much sharper at its widest aperture, and with the new AF it's quiet and much more accurate.

and the best thing is, it could focus closer to the subject than any other Nikon 85mm.

1.8D is made in thailand and made of metal, 1.8G is made in china and made of plastic. That might explain the affordable price of the new 1.8G.

D800E is slightly sharper

pro's used D3s will definitely be cheaper than others because 1)Pros don't take care of their camera, they treat it as a tool rather than a gem; 2)The camera probably goes thru all kinds of extreme condition and it may sustained substantial amount of scratches; 3)fairly high shutter count; 4)Extensively used

1D X is expected to be more expensive than D4
