Hi guys,

It has been a while since I follow up on this thread and also Nikon's news. Is that D610 to be real? I last read at Nikon Rumors that it'll be announced within 48 hours?

Oh, the D610 officially announced now? This is just a replacement model for the oil problematic D600, isn't? The AF should be the same, izzit?

Available in Malaysia's Nikon website already: http://www.nikon.com.my/en_MY/about/produc...Nikon-DSLR-D610

What to be disappointed about? We wouldn't able to expect any new fancy improvement but just "fixes" on their problematic 1-year lifespan Nikon D600, isn't?

Wow, the thread seems to be active these days. Damn, I way too long didn't lepak inside here liao.

With now D610 announced, that could be under my consideration for FF body than the D800. Who else potentially getting it as well?

It had just been announced couple of days ago

Wow, new 58mm f/1.4G by Nikon to replace the not-so-good 50mm f/1.4G?

Currently Nikon is running their campaign against grey units and their new t-shirt bearing some I'm bla bla against grey thingy. When I asked for further details, they're actually ONLY against grey units of bodies while lenses are fine because it carries International Warranty.

I double-confirmed with them that they accept warranty for grey unit of lens because it carries International Warranty. If that's the case, then lesser people getting local unit anymore since grey unit of lenses are acceptable in M'sia for warranty?

I also thought that warranty for lens grey unit will not be covered in M'sia, however the Nikon guy I spoke with during KLPF said only applicable to body as lenses carry International Warranty and can be covered in M'sia

Well, there are local unit (stamped with Nikon Malaysia) and grey unit (stamped with overseas Nikon) for the warranty slip. Initially I thought grey lens' warranty would not be covered in M'sia, but the clarification that I heard is not.

I couldn't be too sure, but you guys gotta check it out. Coz the guy that I spoke with is not from the service and warranty department. I asked him about the latest Nikon's t-shirt bearing "I'm Anti-Grey" and then he explained to me about the warranty of body and lens coverage in M'sia. Apparently lenses are International Warranty and can be covered in M'sia.
