So what is D5200 price like???

I'm just itchy done even know the price, but if around 2200-2500 worth the buy cause its about D7000 spec

I think the YN-160 II I'm considering has 16 levels of brightness and comes with a remote. I saw Pro Images (Shop in Melaka) selling for RM248 on FB.
Ahh, its those bulb based video light? Must have been quite hot! How long does the battery last?
I would definitely prefer the D7000 instead,

D7000 has better grip, nicer to hold. Dual commander dials for manual and aperture --> more buttons and no need to get into menu that often as compared to D5100, option to add a Nikon original battery grip, does 6fps, 100% VF coverage, and dual slot SD, and I think D7000 can do 14-bit NEF RAW which D5100 can't.

Sorry D5100 also does 14bit raw pls check nikon website and wiki ya. To me d5100 is the poor mans d7000 with a few less dials and features.

Sorry my bad, so even entry body comes with 14-bit RAW nowadays. Awesome! But then again, single dial --> major turn off for me.

Side note, D5100 can only do lossy compressed 14-bit instead of lossless like D7000?

That is true that is why I did mention "Poor Man's D7000" anyway its a good camera for the price. If budget is not an issue then even I would have gone for the d7000. My regular shop has been trying to poison me for a long time.

But for me currently I figured I would rather spend my $ on lenses than another body. smile.gif

I really could not stand it anymore!!!

Read on if you guys wanna know what happened...

I bought a Coolpix P7100 on 23 December 2012. After a few days, my camera was faced with an overheating issue. The right handgrip heated up like crazy after 5 minutes of usage. So I went down to Nikon Centre KL on 27 December and requested for a one-to-one exchange, since the problem occurred less than a week after purchase, and I need the camera urgently because I will be returning to Singapore on 31 December. The service personnel declined my request (as expected) with usual reasons of a lengthy exchange process and plenty of paperwork. OK, fine. So I sent in the camera for repair and I personally requested the service personnel to expedite repairs. Thankfully, my unit came back on 29 December.

Now another problem pops up. This time, it happens to be the flash taking forever to charge. The last time I tried to take a photo with the flash raised, it took me half a minute just to charge up the flash! And to my surprise, the flash did not fire after that. So now with me back in Singapore, what am I supposed to do with the camera? I do not expect myself to return to Malaysia for a few days just to get the camera fixed up.

This is really getting ridiculous. What is this?? Two problems occurring within a couple of weeks of purchasing a brand new camera! Is Nikon Malaysia trying to give me its very own version of a surprise Christmas present? So what's next? A lens that refuses to lock focus? Or a shutter button that would not capture images?

Who knows what sort of problem might pop up next? If I am in Malaysia, I do not mind travelling to Nikon service centre everyday. But I am not.

Anyone of you guys faced this kind of problem before with your cameras? What did you do? Is requesting for an exchange too much for the first case? Now I am trying to request for exchange again. Let's see what will be their reply.

The last time I went to SG the prices of cameras are slightly cheaper than over here. So how come you bought your camera here when you are based in SG? I have to say it is not a very wise decision on your part. For one to one exchange the practice in Malaysia is you have to bring it back to the shop of your purchase, if you bring it to the distributor the all they will do is solve/repair the unit for you, which then gave you another unique problem. Sorry you had a bad experience here in Malaysia but I guess your problem is unique. Maybe the shop sold you a refurbish unit or gave you a grade A like original battery, I personally never trusted any shop in The Mines shopping center cause the business there is slow and I do believe shops will try all sorts of tricks to increase their profit. Better to shop in the more popular shopping centers. Just my 2 cents.

Guys if you aver go to Hong Kong make sure you have a look into the cameras and lenses there. it like really cheap compared to the ones sold in Malaysia. also better selection than Malaysia especially the 2nd hand ones.

checking shutter count for digital camera is easy. but FM is a film camera. and an old camera. how old? made in 1977.
and if you can google on how to check the shutter count for the camera Nikon FM and it's valid, i will pay you RM 1000

Opps, flim camera, was thinking of DSLR. Sorry guys my mistake.
