Shipping can be done, if it coincides with my travel dates.

Till then KP can keep on enjoying & testing the goodies FOC.. It really does help to own a Nikon..

I am geting one from EBAY Gobal it costed me 2900/- something as there was a monsoon offer going on. Originally for 3500/- Will post few pics when I get it !!! It is for D90.

The D700 base is different. Here are few pics of the same.





Grip for D90 -> MB-D80


Grip for D700 -> MB-D10

Means you want me to travel North ?
Its easy to solve, any plan to travel in the next 5 days ?

Looks like it would be either Opteka or Zeikos. I would end up getting from ebay probably, but the waiting is a killer. I ordered an air blower, shoulder strap and a screw adapter from HongKong last week (posted on this thread that day), but the expected delivery is 2 weeks.

I think it will be opteka one more thing I forgot to add before I would be getting two EN EL3e batteries and one wire less remote along with the battery grip in 3k.

It came as a combination pack right ? It might be 3rd party batteries. I had checked some of the sellers on ebay last week. But dont you have 1 battery already in the camera ? Wondering what you are going to do with 3 batteries in total !! Wanna trade one ? Whats your memory capacity ? Mine is an 8GB sandisk extreme, but I might need an additional 16GB for travels as RAW is the regular choice. An 8GB card takes only 520 shots in RAW, out of which I might get only 100 shots that is worth editing .

Yeah looks like a master plan
No, not anytime soon, just came back from Blore 2 days back. May be there in Aug end or for Onam.

LBM, I know the D700 uses MB-D10 as the battery pack; the same as D300. What I mentioned was that my friend uses a Mink brand for his D700. I never ever said in my post that the MB-D80 would fit in the D700. I was only commenting on the reliability & satisfaction level of that brand..

English indeed is a funny language...

Just getting a good deal that's why bought it !!!


I agree

Just thought this information might be useful for some people here.

Dear Dlsr Gurus,
Any news about the NEW replacements of Canon or Nikon base SLR models ?? (1000D & D3000).
Heard coule of months back, that some new models will replace both the base models

I am 'sleeping on' the 70-200s, few ENEL3e batteries, battery grips and a 16GB card. Northern brothern are not having time to ship, southern brothern not ready to compromise on the price, I think TIME will heal things for a better tomorrow . I just wanted to post here, because members should not think "where this guy has disappeared after hacking the thread for over 2 pages" ! More updates soon .

Delhi. On reignofchaos's advice, I bought an EOS 7D alongwith a 15-85 mm lens EF IS USM for 1.05.

Guys,

Need a little bit of help from you guys. My sister is going to fly down from Dubai this month end. So i wanted to know are DSLR's cheaper in Dubai as compared to Indian price. If so, is it marginal or is that a considerable difference. Also, what would be a entry level DSLR. I want to go for the bare minimum as i already have a Kodak and a Sony Cyber shot point and shoot.

Why would you want to go for an entry level DSLR? What are your expectations and the kind of usage?
