It's body upgrade time!

The JB deal sounds OK, it's in Oz and you get Nikon warranty.

There is no guarantee that the stuff coming in from o'seas is not going to attract a 10% GST slug, and god only knows who does any warranty work.

PS: Beat me to it Artie, but along the same lines, although rather more eloquently put.

Thanks guys! My old man has just started at JB, so I'm hoping that maybe even a bit cheaper, but we'll have to see.

$300 is a lot, but you're right, and I like to support local shops (depending, though :P )

Guess for the warranty because of the issues it's worthwhile! Now... need a little more cash :P

Ok, so the Camera's busted & You're slightly bent, and I'm going to guess the roo just bounced away... so...

Important question:
How's the Bike???!!

On the plus side, looks like you could reuse that Nikon Strap ....

I think the lens cap is Ok too! Glad you are Ok, and that the collarbone heals up quicky. I don't think I have ever seen a more efectively destroyed camera. Can you claim it on accident insurance (if you have it for your bike)?

I didn't have valuables cover but I did try

OP

Id buy local..the extra $300 is piece of mind I reckon ....plus its a 2 yr warranty...if you was to include the mack warranty that DWI offer it would be a extra $108..add that to the $1739 that DWI want and its getting real close to the aussie version...plus I agree with what Arthur said

I recently bought a 50 AFS 1.8 at harvey norman cheaper than DWi do them for ..go figure !!


I sent a email out to all my local retailers asking for there best price for my D800..my local very expensive camera house came back with the cheapest ..@$2850..but that was while Nikon had the $300 off deal ..give it a shot mate..you might be surprised at how much people want your money

JB had a sle on over the weekend so if all goes to plan therre is a d600 on its way for $1977!

Thanks for all the help and advice!!
