Nikon's latest dSLRs will be in Singapore

Edvarcl Heng | Nov 20, 2007

Since the August announcement, we've been waiting for a chance to fire off some shots with Nikon's latest dSLR duo. In mid-November, we took a prototype of the D3 for a whirl and we were, to say the least, overwhelmed.

Now Nikon Singapore has announced that the D3 will be available in Singapore by the first week of December at a retail of price of S$7,999, which is not unlike the D2X when it was launched in the island state.

Nikon's challenger to Canon's 40D, the D300, will also be making an appearance by end November (S$2,999). The availability of the D300 will mark the end of the virtual free run of the midrange dSLR market that the Canon 40D had been enjoying.

During the Singapore launch, we asked Nikon Singapore whether reports of Nikon UK bundling the Capture NX software suite (S$220 value) with initial shipments of both the D300 and D3 will hold true in Singapore. Sadly, Nikon Singapore spokespersons were quick to clarify that it might be in extremely limited quantities and as of press time were unable to confirm the exact number.
