all because of weak rupee in front of USD & EURO

@ 3pm on 01.05.2012
€1 = Rs 69.0129
US $1 = Rs 55.9855

BAD TIME TO BUY !

Who said so? They are kicking up the finance minister to the position of President to deal with the grave financial consequences of such act. Hasn't he already taught Vodafone a lesson?

There is nothing the Govt can do in the short term. Good Policies are needed and even if enacted now, it will take time to bear fruit.

Thats a good price.... I got my D800E at 160K and one for a friend at 170K in May..... A dealer just quoted me 165K for a D800 :-( ...prices definitely going up due to foreign exchange...

Nikon has further increased the price of D800. The new price is 169,950.
Looks like my first full frame camera won't be a D800.
OT: What is the current price of a new D700? One seller in Delhi quoted me 111K with bill and warranty. Gaffarbhai had quoted 110K without bill.

Not entirely surprising as the INR has dropped by ~24% over the past year. Nikon India's CEO was cautioning on price increases during the launch of the D3200.

Just wondering, is D800 left AF issue resolved? I was really looking forward to D800 and this article has really put me off.

http://mansurovs.com/nikon-d800-asymmetric-focus-issue

If you also read comments there, photographers who purchased from India also faced the issues with D800 AF.

From what I heard from a friend who went to buy a new D700 this past weekend, the D700 prices have gone up too (128k with bill in Blore). So those two prices seem really good (especially the one with bill and warranty).

I have two Nikon D800s and have found no such Issue with them.
