Fair flower · 15 years ago

oi… sino ang nag bebenta nito?

Gary de Silva Dagdag · 15 years ago

Mas mura dito sa Dubai ang D7000 almost 75 k lang with kit

Noel · 15 years ago

The D7000 is now available at Henry’s camera and Photo Supply at Hidalgo. Just bought a D90 to replace my D40… no regrets for the D90, though, the D7000 is still much expensive and I don’t need the extra pixels and video anyway.

But if I have my extra dough, why not? The D7000 has a magnesium body, very sturdy indeed!

Marc · 15 years ago

Can you kindly share which stores are already selling D7000? I visited Nikon, columbia and photoline and they still have no idea when it will arrive in Manila.Goodluck with the HK purchase though!

mobley · 15 years ago

WTF!!! suggested price for the body is 1200 us dollars and with the kit lens 1500 us dollars. But now Stores here in the Philippines are selling around 60500 pesos that’s more or less 1400 us dollars for the body same as in Hong Kong.I’m going to Hong Kong hoping to buy the d7000 body at around 1200 us dollars body only!

Hi all. Nikon shop at VMall in Greenhills said D90 price will go down ( now at P54T cash, P60T installment ) once D7000 arrives. As per supplier Columbia Digital, tentative Phil, launch is December. If not, hopefully early next year.

john · 16 years ago

NiCoLa · 16 years ago

Its Too Expensive! I want it Cheap :'( i want this SLR! :)) what Kind Of SLR cameras that are cheap??

ruel · 16 years ago

…good news…but if u compare both, d90 would still be practically ok for now…just little differences…same quality pictures, maybe…only two or three specs varies…

Jerson Allen · 16 years ago

Added on my wishlist! :))

johnny · 16 years ago

I already have D90,Buy ko nalang cguro Canon D60, mura lang lang sya 40 to 45k range lang sya kung video ko lang sya gagamitin.. Canon is unmatched kung video lang pinag-uusapan..

hellionax23 · 16 years ago

I got brought Nikon D7000 from Japan (Â¥145,000)

PJ elbi · 16 years ago

Hurray! Hurray! This means D90’s price might/will drop to 30k! Merry Christmas to us D90 wishers!

I’ll settle with the D90 because I just need the motor and commander mode!

Joshua Tiongson · 16 years ago

Nakakainis naman! BAKIT NGAYON KA LANG LUMABAS? Uwahhh. Tapos ngayon, bababa na ang presyo ng D90. Yay! :-bd

Nikon D7000 Price · 16 years ago

The price of D7000 with body only at $1,200 is considered quite steep and there’s not much improvement as compared to the D90.

I will still stick with my D90 for sometime.

Dennison Uy · 16 years ago

Finally! Live view autofocus would make this a very desirable camera. I wonder how long it can record in HD?

sylv3rblade · 16 years ago

@Leo
Go for the D3100 if you’re looking for an entry level dslr. Mahirap na maghanap ng D40 ngayon :)

@braindead
Good luck hunting a D90 bargain :) Look at TPC prices too :)

Dorm Boy · 16 years ago

I think this Sept ang dating ng D7000 sa pinas. Sakto the price of D90 will surely fall down. Tempting talaga ang D7000 pero medyo hard sa budget especially kung papalapit na ang December, expenses is getting bigger. Lol!

seaman · 16 years ago

Hello Yuga, baka next time pwede mo rin e review yung mga dslr lens, yung mga replacement sa original.other brands na mag fit sa canon saka nikon. thanks

jerome · 16 years ago

braindead · 16 years ago

@sylv3rblade thanks! will probably settle for the d90 but will wait till dec for prices to go down. will probably not need the extra megapixels

junie asis · 16 years ago

Leo · 16 years ago

putcha.. hindi pa nga ako nakakabili ng nikon d40.. meron na agad d7000. i’m pretty sure the d90 will drop prices very very soon.

sylv3rblade · 16 years ago

@braindead
45k for the kit, around 33k for the body only.

braindead · 16 years ago

guys i wonder how much is the d90 nowadays? anybody who can give me a price range? im planning to buy one in dec sa singapore. but if prices locally are competitive, i might buy here instead. thanks

myke · 16 years ago

seems like this cam can still auto focus with non-afs lenses, can anyone confirm this?

Jamby · 16 years ago

@sylv3rblade
lolo na d80 ko!!!! :)

@beef
you’re right,..and i don’t have plans of changing bodies since i’m not a pro…lenses perhaps but as long as my needs are being serviced by my trusty d80…i won’t give it up…

sylv3rblade · 16 years ago

@joell lapitan
lol. I agree :)

joell lapitan · 16 years ago

sana mgsale ang d90.. hahahaha

Arthur Abogadil · 16 years ago

Wow, just wow. Will settle for a Canon G10 for now.

HarryPotterSagaMovies · 16 years ago

Now i am getting depressed. Hmmmm just joking. December is fast coming yooohoooo.

StrayArrow · 16 years ago

My wishlist is getting longer and longer. Phweeee…

citroen · 16 years ago

i will buy this…hehe

beef · 16 years ago

@ Jamby — Don’t worry about that.. as long as your D80 suits your needs (and it still works)it isn’t really a problem if the next guy has 2000 AF points.. If you took great shots with your gear before, you will still get great shots now no matter what Nikon releases.. (again assuming your gear still works)

Of course when your D80 dies, or IF your needs change, then it makes sense to get the best you can afford na.. which might very well be this camera..
