Re: Off Topic: Buying A Nikon D90
Hi, Rob Try JB HiFi. I try them after Harvey Norman but as I am in Geraldton. They did not want to give me their best price over the telephone and do not be afraid to ask for best price and other sundries as part of deal. Yes ;-) - you should always see If they are willing to throw something in or a discount -- Regards Kyle -- Kyle Kreusch - Webmaster, (GMUG) Ambassador This e-mail was Dictated Using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 (GMUG) - Geraldton Macintosh User Group Website: http://www.gmug.org.au/ E-mail: webmas...@gmug.org.au Direct E-mail:k...@gmug.org.au - -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au
Re: Off Topic: Buying A Nikon D90
Hi Kyle, Try JB HiFi. and do not be afraid to ask for best price and other sundries as part of deal. I have been surprised quite often with there pricing especially in Midland a lot better for TV etc. than Good Guys, especially for cash. This is of course if they carry product or can obtain it easily enough, this includes some pro level Panasonic Video products. Extremely cheap pricing compared to my other sources. Cheers! `RobD...

Re: Off Topic: Buying A Nikon D90
Hi Kylie I'm not 100% sure, but I wouldn't think so, as Nikon are quite hard to get accounts with or work with, and I believe a lot of the camera places have to jump through a lot of hoops to work with Nikon. If they are quite hard to work with, then I believe you'd only be able to work with a shop/dealer/stockist of Nikon. And if Nikon's warranties are similar to other products, you might be surprised to the small amount of mark up that they actually make. In the markets today most places really make nothing on what they sell. But I could be wrong, and it could be different with warranties in comparison to other products. Someone else may know otherwise. :) Kind Regards Daniel On 21/5/09 12:28 AM, Kyle Kreusch kylekreu...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All WAMUG and (GMUG) Was wondering if anyone knows if It is possible to buy an extended warranty from Nikon Directly As I don't really want to pay the crazy prices That the retailers want to charge for There extended warranties. -- Regards Kyle -- Kyle Kreusch - Webmaster, (GMUG) Ambassador This e-mail was Dictated Using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 (GMUG) - Geraldton Macintosh User Group Website: http://www.gmug.org.au/ E-mail: webmas...@gmug.org.au Direct E-mail:k...@gmug.org.au -- --- -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: daniel @ macwizardry . com . au Web: http://www.macwizardry.com.au **For everything Macintosh** -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au
Re: Off Topic: Buying A Nikon D90
Hi Kyle, I'm on the Nikonians email list, and the consensus from the experienced Nikon users is that stores make money on the instore warranties because they are almost never needed. Usually if electronic goods have problems, its early on, you find out in the first year. If you are buying from one of the reputable places in Perth, then I think you just have to make a decision based on your need to feel that you are 'covered'. It may be worthwhile to shop around and do some bargaining. Even Apple resellers drop the price on extended warranties to make a sale. regards, Susan.

Re: Off Topic: Buying A Nikon D90
Hi Susan, I know exactly what's happening the good guys are going to lose some money and are hoping to make it up with the extended warranties. Which they are refusing to drop their prices on Unlike Harvey Norman that took the $300 and something dollars for the 24 month extended warranty and slashes it down to $100 (O Not to mention the cheap nasty memory card and $14 tripod) - lol To whoever is interested I am getting the D90 + 18-55mm VR + 55-200mm VR Includes: D90 Basic Kit (as above) + AF-S 18-55mm VR + AF-S 55-200mm VR (3 Boxes) $1,795 Which is a price match, from three month old Harvey Norman Catalog (Harvey Norman Price $1,798) This is for you Daniel (And anyone else that is interested) Cannot Remember where I found this Nikon Pricelist February 2009-w Margin http://gmug.org.au/Nikon/ If you notice the good guys are making a Loss - but most likely they have better buying power.

Re: Off Topic: Buying A Nikon D90
Hi Kyle, that seems to be about the normal price for this kit. I went for the D90 and new 18-105mm VR all in one box - its a decent range, and although only a kit lens, is newer technology, so figured it would be at least a decent lens, and it is. Its handy when travelling to just have the one lens (and the 35mm 1.8, and the 60mm Macro 2.8 in my suitcase). Overall a smallish, lightweight kit. The pricelist seems out of date as the D90 and 105 kit lens appear to be about $1700 including GST now: www.d-d-photographics.com.au/nikond90.htm The 18-55 and 55-200 cover a better range, of course, if you don't mind changing lenses in the field. And still a small, light weight kit. I really like the D90. cheers, Susan.
