finding cheap compact digicam

cfyung85 — Fri, 21 Apr 2006 01:12:46 +0800

as mentioned earlier i wanna get a D70s but now i wanna delay that idea n simply get a cheap compact digicam for temporary use maybe its due to the photokina this september 2006 that makes me think that D70s price might drop due to newer nikon SLR lineup

anyway anyone know what compact camera i can get for about 800? dun care much bout specs just mind a bit bout the battery i saw a few low end cameras but the battery they r supplied with r only non-rechargable AA batteries i prefer lithium ion

now i only saw the sony W30. dunno much bout the price but anyone has any comments bout this camera?what does the package includes?

or anyone has any other recommendation? any help is welcome

REPORT ON BARGAIN

guys i'm back n i'm back with a bad news

i only asked tarita n boeing n i'm quite fed up with it especially with boeing. tarita is still ok. although they still offer their usual price but at least their service is better compared to boeing

boeing in G floor G134 kinda sux abit not only that fella kinda dislike me but oso keep on urging me to buy canon although i said i dun wan

tarita said they cannot offer anymore discounts bcos it is at the cheapest (usual excuse) n oso they say they cannot make any decision on themselves to give discounts (thats more acceptable since they r not the boss there )

i asked boeing in G floor shop G134. the guy that came to me is a chinese. well at first he greeted me kinda good so i oso kinda feel glad. then when i asked him about discounts, he straight away change his face to an unpleasant one

well as expected he oso said that the price is the cheapest they can offer n only untung several ringgit only (total bullshit) then he started bombing about nikon saying this not good that not good. service centre ada problem n all stock are halted. he oso said lens susah cari n accessories langsung tarak n bla bla bla n i have to stand there listen him talking stories n all the way long he keep on calling me to buy canon 350D even though i said i dun wan countless times. the reason is...

8 megapixel very good 1...accessories oso easy to find than nikon (ok i agree with this)...now got stock clearance some more...RM2950 (body+lens) X uncountable times

well...he oso said D70s is really from thailand i dunno whether i wanna trust him about the bad side of nikon or not but just to tell u guys that we r not able to buy together since it makes no difference oso

INDIVIDUAL REPORT

ferox n cyberkid...the 18-200mm VR lens that u wanted got no stock. if u guys wan then u need to pay downpayment first n then only they order

ferox...the 50mm lens u wan f what? f1.8 / f1.4 / f1.2?? anyway as expected from these lenses oso got no stock going to come soon as they say

nikon filter(RM120) is more expensive than hoya filter(RM70)

circular polariser cost about RM 160 (dunno what brand)

intrigue...the battery life i asked for u oledi. they say it is nothing if u charge to max even though there r still power left

k3v1n...the FZ30 i asked liao. tarita say very hard to find now although it cost about RM2000. they say have to place order first or maybe order directly from panasonic (RM2200) then they will send the order...kinda strange if u ask me
___________________________________________________________________________

so thats all guys...sorry to inform u guys about the bad news so i think we'll buy seperately then sigh...

nikon D50 vs D70s?

cfyung85 — Wed, 05 Apr 2006 15:30:56 +0800

well actually i started this topic in the "nikon fans" forum but planned to put it in the main forum so everyone can share ideas.

so besides the cf n sd card, what other big difference between the D50 n D70s? n whats the market price for D50 now (KL)? any good honest shop to recommend? i dun wanna get 'fried" if u know what i mean

i know D50 is cheaper compared to D70s but if the difference in terms of body built is too big than better off getting a D70s. but if the difference is just minor stuffs...well a D50 should be ok.

really need some help from DSLR pros
