contender 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 How are the camera prices in nagano? and how is the offer of different lenses? thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 BP, I was at the camera shop last night. They don't have the d200 for sale anymore. They just have an ad for the d300 in it's place. So no more orders are coming in and all you can find will be the dwindling stock of d200's. If you're set on the d200 you might want to start looking asap Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 really? Shiiiiit. Ah well, that might just be my excuse to get the d300 Thanks mate. Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 d300 body will prob be around 18man even if you wait til the last minute to get it I like the looks of the d3...I hope I can justify the 57man price!!! Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 18? Really? 57?? Wow! Are you making money off your photography yet kuma? (don't answer that if you don't want to) Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 the d300 had a price tag of 22man I think but it was crossed out. You know, the old 'it's way cheaper than this price but we'll cause a riot if we put our actual price up'. I'm betting the price will settle down to 18man. well, the d3 is a nice dream ha ha. No I'm not making any money. It'd be nice to be making some and being able to afford and NEED the d3 Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 have you managed to get much stuff sold or at least in mags? You had some sweet shots last winter. Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 nope. didn't submit anything. all you girls need to get sponsored first! Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 ah that's right, they wanted their stuff in the shots right? Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 why would a japanese mag run a pic of a no-name foreigner in old gear? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 True. I was thinking more about the idea of good shots, non-brand related. But I guess they don't use those much eh? Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 i think they'd rather show another 'what is this pro wearing?'shot, or a 'how to do ground trick' action shot Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Kuma, a friend of mine burned me a video of how-to tricks from here in japan. And it is super lame. I'm thinking that you, me, andy and chewy get together and make a real dork-trick video! Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 i watched part of a new vid last night called something something gold label by Ist pictures. I have always thought that Ist just does cut & past editing but this one takes the cake. As far as I can tell it's just a bunch of pros going around resorts doing dork tricks but not making them. They fall and all laugh. One section had the guy going down the cat track at Happo just going up and slashing the hardpack repeatedly.... Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Kuma, those books arrived last night. They look great. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 D300 prices are about that here too (list). Expecting first shipment end Sep, according to the shadey distributor. Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 great THursday. don't expect it to sink in the first time you read it. I still pick up that book and find cool stuff to think about. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 got a quote for the d200 for 12850 from our school kitamura contact. He said they'll be going out of the stores at the end of this month. The d300 will be listed at just under 21 man. Prices probably won't drop on that for a while, so I think I'm gonna go the d200.

thursday 1 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 do it do it do it do it so we can welcome you to the D200 club Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 he quoted you 12850 so go lower. Tell him I bought one for 12800 back in july. get the 18-200 thrown in for 20man (well, say 19man first and let him come in at 20, then take 20 and get the lens filter thrown in!)

bushpig 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 He's already offered me with the 18-200 for 21, so might haggle on that a bit. But I'm not sure how much wiggle room I have. Might just go for the body right now. Will see how it goes. Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 21!! he's giving you the list price on the lens. On kakaku it's going for 78000. add that to what he quoted for the d200 and it should be 206500. just tell him I'll order it for you for 20 and send it to your shop for pickup Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 about that mate. He quoted me 79800 I was rounding. I'll haggle with him and see. Either way the d200 is a reasonable price, and I'll see if I can get it down more. Then I'll threaten with that last option Link to post Share on other sites
