After using Nikon D40 for about 20 months. After doing some research thoroughly. After find up that D90 is a step leap in term of technologies in which it can offer compared with D40. After my heart itchy to try mid-range DSLR. Finally today i went with 2 friends in a journey to buy this gadget.I can say we a bit lucky at the end of the day because of eventually we able to grab the items that we are looking for, eventhough we takes a whole day to seek D90 in many camera shops around. Most of the shops offer slight margin of price difference, with a few free gift e.g: sd cards, bag, tripod, cleankit etc. But what make it all day is the stock of D90 is not available.
A friend of mine, who also the one who very very keen to buy D90 on time call his friend, who is also a photography enthusiast, looking for assistant of his friend who working in Cathay Photo in Marina Square and seek for availability of the item. (i know you guys confused with the friend hierarchy. actually is like this : my friend who to buy D90 -> his friend who loves photography -> his photography friend's friend who working in Cathay Photo ;) ) luckily the item still available. And of course he need to prepare 3 stocks for us since all of us want to buy "gasp".
i bought mine which without any extra stuff with the cost SGD1680.
i'm not sure if im a bit sentiment but i do feel that D40 still a powerhorse in term of easy usability. i don't know, maybe i'm too new with a mid-range DSLR. Well, at least i'll get more companion during photo session later. ;)
