aiya... dun say CHEAP la... say AFFORDABLE ma... xD

Whops sorry, affordable FX! But then again, it was more expensive than the old D700 when it first came out leh

yeah man.. very disappointed about that ... then now price go so low to match the coming 6D =_=' all of us early adopters LOST a good 400-600!

anyone know how to differentiate this lens with this

Unfortunately the D600 price dropped even faster than D800... I guess moral of the story do not be early adopters? Wait at least 6months to 1 year I guess...

I think is nikon marketing/sales fault la... their forecast is wrong... then they heard the canon 6D pricing then quickly lower the price... leaving us being the joke for all canon fanboys ... AND its not even a replacement for d700! with no OFFICIAL answer on the dusty issue...

*sigh* on some days its hard to be a Nikon fanboy

price and spec different lo
but 50mm at d7000 is very narrow from my point of view la, it will be very good if u plan to go FF next time.
but overall overview the 50mm f1.8g is winner for the price u pay.

D700 was launched with price tag 7k+
Cheaper ?

probably he never bought at the time it was actually launched

D700 will not have any direct replacement, Nikon doesn't want the D700 replacement to chew up sales from D4

Comparing the D700 price when D600 was launched duh.

8k+ with free 50mm f/1.4D.

glass quality and extra large aperture to play with

wasnt it more towards 8k?

Added on December 5, 2012, 10:52 amI think Nikon will never ever make another d700 type body since we all know what happen to D3 right? at the end of the day, profits still matter no?

but im still hoping they make a d800s, sort of like a baby d4 but i think pigs will fly when that happens. doesnt hurt to hope though haha

Is it now good timing to buy D7000? Or rumour D7100 coming soon? @_@

it will be forever man,
by the time you buying D7100, rumour D7200 will be coming soon

Haha.. I understand.. I just wish to replace my antique D60

buy whatever is available now, technology changes too damn fast man. whatever is state-of-the-art today can be obsolete tmr.
so yes, its a good time to buy a d7000

mini D4 is called D400

New model may also be more expensive, and not sure when will be available. If buy early, you will pay higher price before it drop. So, buy when the product is release or wait until it drop price first? Which mean wait longer?
Or just get what's available at good price and enjoy it?

yes i did, it needed -20 on my 50mm 1.8G, (n still is not that sharp..im thinking it needed more than that), my 14-24 is also affected n needed -10, and we're talking all middle points. guess my copy is that bad huh? having to change lens and change on the micro adjustments sucks big time. not only that, when im using the fifty, subject further than 1m/2m away seems to be in focus without micro adjustments. sometimes that is! warghhhh

having the super resolution might be an advantage as i post some pics on my fb - resize it and the misfocus is not so visible. but knowing the fact that its not properly focused really bothers me alot

i think not 6 months, maybe one really needs to wait..maybe a year or so? buying a 2-year-old D3s/D700 body now sometimes will get u no problems. i have bought 3 x D700, 2 x D3, 2 x D3s, and ALL of them seems to have perfect focusing, no other problems. (not mine ah, this all help fren buy )

and i've bought a D600 and a D800 brand new..both of em got probs

eh bro, i thot D700 came out with the price range of RM6.8k~7.2k? why cheaper than the D600? correct me if im wrong ya

haha good point!

nikon got their equipments in line real good now. if u want the D4 sensor, then u have to buy the D4. if the D800 is too much and the D600 is flawed...guess one will hav to opt the D700 for a cheap FF solution then
