Cheated by MSColor Ang Mo Kio.

Bought a Panasonic LX3 last month at MSColor Ang Mo Kio.

Telephone quote was LX3 with OEM battery, screen protector, case and 4GB SDHC card.

When I went there a few hours later, the guy told me that the OEM battery promotion is over and had to pay an extra $30 for the OEM battery. Surfing Clubsnap, the guys were getting the OEM battery, screen protector, case and 4GB SDHC at $699.

Even regular customer kena cheated, I've been buying from them for a few years.

Solmeta DP-GPS N90 for Nikon D90

I've just received my Solmeta DP-GPS N90 and quite impressed with the package included.

I've not yet tested the unit outdoor yet.

Some photos to share.

Solmeta GPS

I've emailed Solmeta, the Solmeta DP-GPS Geotagger will hopefully be available in the middle of January and the DP-GPS Geotagger Pro at the end of January 2008.

Geotate/Jobo PhotoGPS update.

My concerns have come true, I emailed Cathay Photo Singapore and was told that they are not bringing in the Jobo PhotoGPS to Singapore.

I contacted Geotate and Jobo, Geotate replied to contact Jobo or get it online from the websites listed on Geotate website. Most are in European languages or UK where the shipping and handling charges are expensive.

No reply yet from Jobo.

I'm going in circles trying to buy the Jobo PhotoGPS.

PC-Mobile GN-1 GPS

GPS solution for Nikon DSLR is getting cheaper.

PC-Mobile GN-1 GPS, US$99.50

http://www.pc-mobile.net/nikongps.htm

The PC-Mobile GPS solution for the D90 version will be available in February 2009, hopefully.

Q: Can GN-1 be used with D90?

A: With suitable cable/adapter - YES. Because D90 uses a new 10-pin Nikon proprietary accessory port, we'll have to develop such connector, which takes time and we are working on it. We do not expect this to be available before end of January.

Solmeta GPS for D90

Solmeta has mentioned in Clubsnap that they'll be having a GPS for the D90 on December 2008.

I believe that they'll be out of stock when it comes in the market and have to wait for a few months.
