Q. I currently have a Panasonic HMC150 and wanted to know your opinion on upgrading to Nikon d800. I would mainly be shooting VFX videos. Thanks!

Where it is cheaper to buy Nikon D800 at Bangkok or Abu Dhabi airport?

Q. Will be in Bangkok via Abu Dhabi airports this summer and wanted to buy Nikon D800. I on the way we will have a stop over in Abu Dhabi, I am not sure whether I should buy the camera there or wait until we get to Bangkok.

A. Be aware that when you return to your country of origin you may end up having to pay import taxes on your new purchase. This will probably mean you end up paying more than you would in your country of origin, and don't even have the peace of mind of having a warranty that you can use at home!

Is this website trustworthy to buy Nikon D800 SLR Camera?

Q. Hi there I was planning on buying Nikon D800 SLR Camera for photo studio in this website: http://www.oemdeal.com/ Is this website trustworthy to buy products? Because it has greats discounts and its kind of awkward.. Or has anyone purchased any product from this website? please answer ASAP. It's for a birthday gift for this upcoming April. Thank You.

A. if you are unsure then I would say that you should say to yourself no it isn't

trustworthy sites are ones that have the safety shield dated on them.

Either go to the store or shop with amazon, ebay, or Target. good luck


You're welcome. ;D

Will the price of the Nikon D7000 come down soon with newer generation cameras coming out?

Q. Should I stop waiting for the price of the Nikon D7000 to come down? I've seen that Nikon will be offering the Nikon D800 for retail sale soon. Does that mean there will also be a Nikon D8000 available soon, and will the availability of any newer generation Nikon cause the D7000 to be reduced in price?

A. If you look on the Nikon Website, you will see that the D90 that was replaced by the D7000 was reduced about $300, yet is still being sold.

What this may tell you is that when the new replacement for the D7000 is eventually released, a similar discount may be available.

However, if you need or want a D7000, waiting around for that to happen may not be a good idea.

The D80 was replaced two years later by the D90 and another two years elapsed before the D7000 became available. What that means is that it may be that the replacement for the D7000 may not be showing up until about the end of the year or beginning of 2013.

As dSLR's become more and more sophisticated, the time between new updates has become longer and longer. It could be, that we will not be seeing many changes in the + $1,000 cameras for as long as three years. Just remember, the Nikon D3 is just now being replaced by the D4, 4 years after its introduction.
