Our shopping experience for an DSLR was horrible. We went to Sim Lim Square twice. First, we went there after our wedding on 8 June. Asking around for prices. So after we got the prices, the D90 and D5000 for the same accessories is only $60 difference. And after so many review that the D90 is a much better camera than a D5000, we decided to get a D90.
So we went back to the Sim Lim Shop again, asking for D90, and this time, the price difference is $400 to $500. hmm....so we are a little upset. But still, ok, since we decided to get the D90, we went to few shops to scout for a reasonable price. The first shop, we decide to buy from, quote us $1530(+gst) for the D90 with 15-105mm VR lens, and $10 for the filters. So we say ok, lets get that, and when we want to pay, he keep pushing us the other lens, saying that we reali like it, we should buy, he will give his best price for it, and we say we dun need it. then he say ok. Lets pay and we need to pay cash. Where got ppl walk around with $2000 cash one?? and then he say the filter is now $20 cos the D90 lens size is difference. ARGH!!! Why so dishonest one?? So we just walk off and went to back to the shop which quoted us previously and ask for the price of $1550(+gst) and then now, he quoted $48 for the filter. Pengz. So we decided to just buy the body + lens without the filter. Then you know what? He try to push his other lens again! and when we dun wan it. He say, Oops! I tink we hv no more stock for D90, and the plc he draws his stocks from is closed. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!! Where got like tat one????
So we decided to give it a miss and left Sim Lim Square with a very frustrated feeling...How can such things happen in Singapore?? Why???
So we decided to skip Sim Lim Square and go to Courts and Harvey Norman yday. but its OOS. OMG!!! So many ppl is buying DSLR??
So anyway, we decided to try again at Funan centre today. and guess what?? We bot our first DSLR!!! but we did not get a D90. hehhee...They still have stock. But we last minute decide to buy a cheaper body and invest the rest into the lens and flash light, etc.
So in the end we got a D5000 + 18-55mm + 55-200mm + Flash Light + 3x8GB SD card + Lowepro Nikon Bag + LCD screen protector. Total Damages is $1888, and we are happie!
hehehe...
La la la la la la...we gonna read the manual and start playing with after we have fully charge the battery!!!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
