Nikon D7000 Price in Malaysia!
I have been searching high and low in the Internet for the price of Nikon D7000 for the Malaysian market.
How much are you in Malaysia, baby?
No information at all. *frustation*
I am comtemplating whether should I buy Nikon D90 or Nikon D7000. That question has been bugging me for the past few months.
After attending BlogFest Asia 2010, the pressure to get a better quality camera aka DSLR has become worse.
First, my girlfriend and I have started blogging and we are always facing issues in taking good quality pictures in low light condition. Our current compact camera, Sony DSC N2 can only perform its best during daylight or good lighting condition.
Secondly, it’s peer pressure. Many of my new friends all are using DSLR. Even my blogger friends also use DSLR. Whenever we go for food reviews, hotel reviews or products reviews, they will bring out their DSLRs and their lenses. And I will only bring out my point & shoot Sony N2.
Certainly as a partial financial blogger, I will not buy under peer pressure. It’s must be based on ROI and the needs. We must practise delayed gratification to become wealthy.
Anyhow, I know that you have seen Nikon D7000 many times in other review websites but let’s enjoy it again.

Now, I am always checking the price for Nikon D7000 for the Malaysian market. Currently in US, Nikon D7000 price is US$1199 (body only) and US$1499 (with kit lens 18-105mm). In Japan, Nikon D7000 price is RM4600++ (body only) and RM5000++ (with 18-105mm kit lens).
This really intrigues me. The Japanese sells the Japanese at an even higher price than his counterparts. Anybody can enlighten me, please?
Currently in Penang, most camera shops in shopping complexes have no Nikon D90 in stock. The salesperson told me that if I want it, he has to order from Nikon Malaysia. Nikon D90 is selling at RM3300 with kit lens 18-105mm and some freebies.
Nikon D90
I have been asking around and most camera shops tell me that Nikon D7000 will be officially launched in Malaysia in late November 2010 or December 2010. Nikon D7000 will come with 18-105mm. Some of them tell me that Nikon D7000 with kit lens 18-105mm price is around RM4600++ and some tells me that it is over RM5000++. I am really confused.
Our ultimatum (my girlfriend and I, of course!) is that if Nikon D7000, with kit lens 18-105mm price is below RM5000, then we will buy. If Nikon D7000, with kit lens 18-105mm price is above RM5000+, then goodbye Nikon D7000 and we will buy Nikon D90.
Nikon Malaysia, please don’t sell us using Japan’s price and sell us below than US’ price.
What’s your say?

Thanks for dropping by my blog and commenting. It means a lot for me. Now, I am price-shopping among the camera shops in Penang and will blog about it. Stay tuned!
buy something that is within your budget and you feel comfortable with it. DSLR camera really give u good pictures, but sometimes it is very bulky to carry along for daily use.
@ciyou: i have been thinking and thinking and comparing and comparing until wanna die liao. now, i just need to do some more research before buying OUR 1st DSLR
Ciyou, if u think ur DSLR too heavy, u can send it to Penang, I’ll b very willing to carry for u.. hehe
Bro, I got mine for $3,750 just body. why not you save some money, invest in better lense!
That’s a great price!!! You really pandai look for lubang!!! What lens do you recommend?
Gurney plaza is having Camera fair now, 2moro will be the last day (28th Nov), you may drop by at the Nikon counter. I also being thinking D3100 / D7000 as my 1st DSLR, but my concern is the weight…
Don’t go for Nikon D3100. If you really have the extra cash, go for Nikon D7000. It’s a great DSLR!!! Although the Nikon D7000 is quite heavy but it feels damn solid. I had bought mine many weeks ago. Don’t have time to do the review yet. How much Nikon D7000 is selling now at Gurney Plaza?
Reading your blog it seems like reading my mind… coz I have the same thoughts too! I also want to buy a DSLR after using a point and shoot digicam for years. Since months ago, i was in dilemma whether to buy which DSLR. After some thoughts & discussions with friends, I prefer Nikon and shortlist my choice to D90 & D7000. I almost bought D90 2 months ago due to price drop. But keep hanging on to wait & see D7000. So until now, still haven’t bought anything yet! I also make the same decision as yours … price is the ultimate decision maker! Oh, btw, I’m also a Penanag lang …
I had bought my 1st DSLR which is Nikon D7000. Burnt a hole dee. RM4450 with 8GB card, LCD protector, Nikon bag. My photographer friends once told me, “Buy a Nikon and you will never regret.” Well, it’s damn true! I have taken my photography a notch higher.
I was comtemplating of whether Nikon D90 or Nikon D7000. Finally, I bought Nikon D7000 because usually my strategy of buying high tech gadgets is buy a mid range one so that in case in the future there are upgrades, we won’t be so left behind. So, we can still use our gadgets until we have ‘reloaded’, then we can upgrade next time. So, bye bye Nikon D90.
If your wallet doesn’t allow you and you don’t mind 2nd hand stuffs (which I don’t mind but my girlfriend don’t like 2nd hand stuffs, so, I die liao), you can go for Nikon D90. Still a worth buy as many of my photographer friends say.
Great to hear that you are a Penang lang. If you have bought you DSLR, maybe we can go for photo shooting in Penang.
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. It means a lot to me. 🙂
I also confuse which 1 to buy between tis 2. Last 2 months i made up my mind, D90 is what i gonna buy. Then after do some research, D7000 seems fit with all i want in one machine. Here in Lowyat KL the price is range RM4.5K-4.8K kitlens+ all 3 std freebies.
What i’m thinking just now is i can get my SB700 along with that price if i buy D90. Damn.
I just got mine at around rm 4450, came with body+105len, class 10 8GB SD, std Nikon carry bag, LCD screen + hard cover protector…..a tripod too…..

Hi Poh,
Welcome to my blog. 🙂
The price for Nikon D7000 is very good. I bought mine last year with kit lens at RM4450. Where did you get that price? Your sharing will help a lot of people here. 🙂
Which camera depends on your need. I love my Nikon D7000 very much except the video function. I just can’t get the camera to focus properly while video-ing. :-(. I read and heard that Canon DSLRs capture videos very well and it has 30fps. Nikon D7000 only 24fps.
This is my sharing. You can check YouTube to get more information.
Hi Battlecry21,
That’s really cheap compared to when I purchased it last year November when it first launched. 🙂 Good thing for all of you. I bought it at RM4450 with 18-105mm kit lens.
