Wonder will they update firmware for D800, so far able to get one with cash, need to pay a friend of a friend to buy then courier back to KL, 1) dont feel like paying cash like that, 2) a bit sceptical on the few green tint problem. At least i could play my friend's D800 when he got his.
Nevertheless, i heard alot of D800 going to UK or Europe, News agency 1st in prepare for the Olympics. Next restock in Malaysia, heard 2 version, 1) Mid April 2012 and May 2012. Wonder which true. So, maybe the best thing to do is dont do anything and wait. This post has been edited by hidden830726: Apr 7 2012, 01:43 PM |

QUOTE(celciuz @ Apr 7 2012, 02:17 PM) 9400 not KL. KL so far cheapest get quoted 9500, not feel like further nego, because just like everyone no stock.1 shop which i knew got stock in KL. Get quoted from this L shop, 9700 at night when i call them, ask for cash term, then recall next day, another guy i guess, he insisted RM9900 non negotiable. Inform him last night get quote cheaper, he said, something as if like "not my problem". I mean, this kind of shop. I will never step in or recomend anyone buying stuff there.

QUOTE(PADUK @ Apr 7 2012, 03:18 PM) sendai production line is a bit slower i think compare to thailand one, I suggest that you hold back for the time being until all the reported issue of D800 is settled. Look at me now, money paid already but my D800 is not with me, instead it's in Nikon service centre. now can only syok sendiri with my D7000 which I should have sold a week ago.maybe them QC is different and takes time, but please produce it like canon does |

That's some serious cash.quite like how kai use D800 + 24-70 shoot like he is holding 70-200? oh wait you use NX capture 2? hmmm i wonder if use photoshop will lesser lag or not and i planning get a new laptop after get new body too... since sometimes go back hometown or go outside kopitiam can do some stuff too *just duno how to carry DSLR + laptop + medium size tablet in future QUOTE(gnome @ Apr 6 2012, 04:25 PM) 80200 two touch on Nikon FM body seriously feel unbalance because lack of grip Hold the combination on the lens. More stable. But the lens hood looks like modified from 70-200mm f/2.8 VR.» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « but weight distribution not bad since FM already quite heavy QUOTE(shinchan^^ @ Apr 6 2012, 04:48 PM) arghh brand disgrace. why low on stock!

QUOTE(metsatsu @ Apr 6 2012, 08:49 PM) @jchue73 I believe from looking, mine's has a very slight green tint too. I'll try and post a pic. But nothing that really worries me like a back focus. How bad was yours? I did check my D800 with a 24mm f/1.4 and a 35mm f/1.4 at f/1.4 in low light conditions. Seems it does not have backfocus or focusing problems when using the left side AF as far as I can tell.Can you please post up a pic of your D800 rear LCD with other camera like D700, d7000 or D3S? I got my D800 last week, and it was plagued with the green tint on LCD. Now it's back to Nikon service centre. Mine also seem to suffer from bad backfocusing issue too QUOTE(metsatsu @ Apr 7 2012, 08:57 AM) nope. RM9380 Yellow or green tint? Woow, 9380 is a very good price.But now it's not with me QUOTE(celciuz @ Apr 7 2012, 11:29 AM) Best I can get is RM9500 so far... and stocks limited... Maybe I should make a trip to Penang later on to grab one xD... 9500 is not bad what... I went to Thailand not knowing a lot of features on the D800. Too new. Not used the video yet too.I want the D800... QUOTE(celciuz @ Apr 7 2012, 12:19 PM) Bangkok girls are friendly Yes indeed.My friends are already making plans for next year ! » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Hey, which booth were these girls from? QUOTE(yankiat @ Apr 7 2012, 12:20 PM) Indeed they are and much more prettier than the show girls here Yes, unfortunately girls over there seem to be are more beautiful.

For any events in Malaysia, I get these type of shots because I know the girls. +1 Such a pleasure shooting makes all the trip and effort worth it.QUOTE(Everdying @ Apr 7 2012, 12:43 PM) aiyah, know or not also doesnt matter. Over there, I read they get paid somewhere about RM 200 to RM 500 per day. I don't know how much girls get paid over here.they are all paid to smile at ppl...
