maniniyot: i would agree with mark, never had any dead pixels with my cameras too...

[irangejuice]

maybe it's the LCD (playback screen) he was talking about? Then again, never found a dead pixel on these small LCDs too.

[maniniyot]

timing timing ra cguro ng dead pixels. didnt have dead pixels on my D100's first year. dayon kabantay dayon ko naay isa ni tunga... sunod na dugangan n pud. karon mga more than 10 na. They are only visible when viewing the pic at 100% though. And they dont show up in prints.

maniniyot: sir, its about what you posted earlier...

Except for the dead pixels but all digital cams have that.

Speaking of NIKON and COLUMBIA...i got this email lately from ph-photo.. u might want to check it out

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Columbia Global Photo Sales Corp. is now dissolved, non-existent,
dead...

Columbia Global was run by 2 families who in the end did not get
along and thus had to separate.

Columbia Digital is a new company formed by me and my father Benito
Tan, who is the original founder and distributor of Nikon in the
Philippines.
WE ARE NOW UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT.

Below are some changes we are implementing already and planning to
implement:

Service:

1. We will be having loaner units my mid Sept. Priority for pro
Nikonians who use their camera for a living. Those who want to avail
of a loaner unit must present a valid wedding photographer, studio
owner, etc. calling card and ID. Also a memorandum/contract for the
loaner unit has to be signed. Not for rent though.

2. We will be running a new robust and efficient computer system by
Dec 06 or Jan 07.

3. We will now start stocking on spare parts that are in demand to
increase speed of service.

4. We may or may not be accepting grey market warranty. This is
hurting us badly.

5. Only lenses will be accepted for international warranty. Meaning
lenses bought from other countries. Not in the grey market locally.
DSLR's bought internationally will have a surcharge of a few %.

6. We have just invested in a huge amount of new tools for Nikon
products.

7. We will be sending 4 of our technicians to Nikon HK by next month
for further training.

8. We will make a drop off point, showroom and photo gallery at
Columbia Hidalgo before the year ends.

9. All spare parts prices have already been reduced 5-10%.

Marketing:

1. We will reduce the SRP of incoming products in Oct 06.

2. We will be having a launching party sometime in Oct. All Nikonians
are invited.

3. We will be coming out with print ads, magazines and billboard by
Oct, Nov, Dec 06 to promote Nikon in the Philippines.

4. We will be tieing up with Energizer for our Coolpix range.
Meaning, ads and events that you will see in the near future feature
both Nikon and Energizer since the L5 and L6 will be using Energizer
AA rechargeable batteries.

5. We will coordinate EB's with you guys.

6. We will try to come up with events for Nikonians. Exhibits,
contests, etc.

7. We already have our new website: www.columbiadigital .net which is
almost 100% done.

8. CRM, CRM, CRM...

***Please bear with us as we go through these changes. Our target is
by Jan 07 for everything to materialize.
