Did u find Lilian?

I didnt find lilian...the sales guy talk to me called parin, quite nice also, i ask him can nego the price or not he said no problem, just make sure i come back to buy, anything can be nego...oh ya, D50 no stock at the moment, kena wait until next week.

u saying that i should get the lense in london?
my d50 was bought at kl during 2005 summer...
it retails about 500 puonds here...

Oh the lens; I thought you were referring to body. You should have just bought it (the body) here! Hopefully it would not break down on you anytime you're around here, otherwise shipping + time delays to get it repaired under warranty will be a major, major inconvinience. For that reason alone it would have been worth it to purchase the body here.

Lenses are cheaper in Malaysia but you might have problems with availability, especially if you're trying to look for the better (read: more expensive and less likely to be stocked due to low demand) lenses. Expect some long lead times especially if they have to import from Japan.

By the way, £500 for the d50? I'm seeing quotes of around £350.

2500 or less for set with local warranty(nikon malaysia)?

I just bought my d50 at photoshang today. Last unit. Hmm... everywhere no stock. This thing selling like hotcake?

Ah alright, I apologize for misreading. Well you can't always depend on Ebay for something cheaper I'm afraid.

Congrats to cfyung85 and ferox for ur newly bought cameras ..

how much??

RM2400 lo. Keep telling you all this price already. As for boeing, yeah, I went there first. Spoke to staff - RM2500, Lilian - RM2450.

For the price & the picture quality, it's better than buying prosumer loh.

actually its not that i wanted to buy there i went to low yat first to buy the CF card. the cheapest i saw is RM135 in thudermatch but the salesman say no more stock liao. i asked him when ada stock he said normal sandisk CF tarak enter liao. the rest of other shops in low yat all oso didnt sell sandisk normal CF card. viewnet got sell but RM209. all other shops oso only sell the highspeed n the extreme III which cost a total nuclear bomb well i dun wanna buy kingston since it is not recommended by nikon. nikon recommends sandisk, toshiba n another brand forgot liao...

for now i'm very happy with my D70s. luckily it has 2 dials. i'm so happy with flicking aperture n shutter speed fast. photo quality wise...magnificent even at ISO1000 used 1600 several times in the dark concert n still cant c any visible noise small minute minute ones can c la when zoom at full size about the DOF preview...dunno where the button is so not so care bout that 1 burst 3 fps is not bad...the built in flash kinda sux a bit plan to get SB600/800 soon. 18-70mm lens not bad but preferably can zoom further more planning to get an "all-rounder" like 18-200mm VR if got $$$

anyway i'm back from my genting trip what should i say bout my D70s...well, 1 gb is really not enough for me i use the JPEG fine n the camera shows can take >280 photos. i was so shocked to c it can take so many photos but to my disappointment...NOT ENOUGH...oledi maxed out have to delete some in order to take more photos

another thing...i attended the concert about the myFM annual anniversary thingy in the arena of all stars took a lot of photos n still wanna take but another disappointment...BATTERY KONG LIAO... got so many artist singing oso unable to take

anyway i'll post some examples of photos (resized) here enjoy!

From your photos, looks like you can use a little more zoom range at the tele end. Haha. Anyway, If you lower your Jpeg settings to normal instead of fine, you can take almost double I believe with no perceivable loss in quality. But test for yourself first la...

Nonsense. Who said Kingston CF not compatible with Nikon.
I'm using Kingston Elite Pro 1GB with D70.
It can store 293 shots for JPEG large fine.
And it's only RM125 @ PC Fair.

Sandisk CF is way too expensive. But yeah, if you're buying Nikon Digicam which bundles memory card, it's either Sandisk or Toshiba (normal speed). And I find the former is faster than the latter.

Well he din said is not compatible. Just that maybe nikon site doesn't have kingston in their recommended memory card list ba.
