    Nikon D7000 kit selling @ Salam stores for QR6,299.00 (PhP71,800.00). Happy hunting!…been using it for 2 weeks now and i must say its truly what the reviews say it is. I owned an F3HP years ago and this is something. Nevertheless, I’m still looking forward to the release of the D400!

    just bought sa Nikon D7000 sa Sharjah, U.A.E. (E-Max) it cost 7000.00 Dirhams if convert to peso mga 82,200, sa cebu daw is 86,000 pesos so mas mura nang konti, meron din ako na kita don sa mga mall mas mura it will cost sa peso mga 72,600 kaya lang sabi kasi ng pinoy don na mag ingat kasi hindi daw original un tawag nya don mga parallel (meron ba ganon) so i did go sa 7000 Dirhams.

    Harmon post says it will cost only 65K sa muranggadgets.com

    @Harmon: brand new po? online shop po b?

    • Avatar for Harmon Harmon says:

      Yes I brought it from them Brandnew and sealed. One thing I like with this online store is that the owner himself Mr, John Ocampos (a singer and radio/tv personality) takes your order. I think this MurangGadgets.com is just their trademark, the company name is 148 Gadgets & General Merchandise.

    I just brought my Nikon D7000 18-105mm VR Lense for 65K inclusive of Bag, 4GB SD Card, LCD Protector and Tripod from www.muranggadgets.com. the staff are very cool and they give 1yr service warranty.

      hello harmon…it’s been 2months more or less since you bought that nikon camera. just wanna ask if the price was worth it. maganda ba yung nabili mo… walang hidden agenda dun sa camera itself? i’m planning to buy one for myself pero gusto ko munang maniguro… knowing na medyo may kamahalan ok lang pag-ipunan basta guarranteed yung quality ng camera at hind parallel…thank you

    • Avatar for Harmon Harmon says:

      Yes, maganda sya, bugbog sa akin ang camera ko and been using almost every two days (hobby), I purchased again from them last two weeks ago and this time Macbook Pro and to my surprise they gave me extra 6mos warranty aside from its published 1yr warranty for this Macbook. Great Service and quality. All brandnew and sealed

    Omg, NIKON D7000 is so drool-izing. :))
    Mr. Yuga, if you DO get a good bargain of the Nikon D7000, can you please tell us where you bought it?
    I love Slr’s but damn, they cost alot.
    Oh well. :))

  17. Avatar for pedxing09160 pedxing09160 says:

    whew…I do have a D60 and no complain about this. I’m drooling for the D90 as an upgrade but here comes the D7000. Ahhh…the specs are very tempting…Question is…do we really need the video/movie?

  18. Avatar for Marc Marc says:

    Thanks, Noel. Henry’s is indeed selling D7000 kit for P73,000 and P60,000 body only.

    Is it alright to buy from them as I understand the grey market offers only in-store warranty of 3 months to 1 year at most? Nikon/Columbia on the other hand gives a 2 year-warranty for both parts and labor.

    someone is selling a d7000 on net for a very affordable price of 32,000. but i doubt it’s for real.. but i want a d7000. -sight <3

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

  21. Avatar for Noel Noel says:

    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!

  22. Avatar for Marc Marc says:

    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!

  23. Avatar for mobley mobley says:

    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!

  24. Avatar for Marc Marc says:

    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.

  25. Avatar for john john says:

    but the price of d90 still going up.maybe it will go down when d7000 arrives.lets wait & hope till dec.

    …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…

    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!

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

  33. Avatar for Nikon D7000 Price Nikon D7000 Price says:

    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.

  34. Avatar for Dennison Uy Dennison Uy says:

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

    @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 :)

  36. Avatar for Dorm Boy Dorm Boy says:

    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!

  53. Avatar for beef beef says:

    @ 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..

    The 39 AF-point, new sensor and the dual SD slots are tempting. I’m going to save up for this to replace my primary body.

    I agree with sir Abe, D90 is still the best bang for the buck.

    With the release of D7000, hoping that the price of D90 will go down. By then, I’ll sell my D5000 and get a D90 :)
