Even if I was able to repair my 2.5 years old Nikon D80 and looking at upgrading to D90, I'm drooling for the new Nikon D7000 which came out last month.
I still can't find information on where I can buy the Nikon D7000 in Manila, particularly on Hidalgo, Quiapo. I suspect it's in the price range of P60k though.
If you know the price and contact numbers of Hidalgo stores: Henry's, Mayer's, Watson's, Avenue Photo et al, please click the comment button.
Update Nov 7, 2010:
Nikon D7000 price Philippines is PhP58,000.00 (canvassed by a simple phone call) I can find it sold online for PhP77,500.00 (body only i.e. no kit lens)
Might go to Hidalgo one of these days by taking the LRT Carriedo station to check

Nikon D80 Err: Aperture Lens Problem, DIY Repair?
Nikki, my 2.5 year old Nikon 80 stopped working after a few shots while I was taking a picture of my baby. The initial symptom is a different sound of the shutter then underexposed pictures.
I'm now looking for DIY Nikon DLSR Camera Repair Guide, if there's one so I can again save a few bucks, even some pictures of how to open my DSLR camera, tinker with the shutter mechanism, repair it myself.
Nikki just displays Err on the LCD monitor and won't take a shot. REset by taking out the battery didn't help. Tried to clean the lens contacts using contact cleamer on the body and using a different lens, a 50mm f1.8, didn't help either. Note that my camera is attached always to a Nikkor 18-200 F/3.5-5.6 VR and seldom separated from each other.
If I can't do it myself, Imay have to go find nikon camera repair shops on Hidaldo St. in Quiapo, Manila or bring it to Columbia (CDSC) somehwere in Frisco (but i know it will cost me an arm and a leg so I'd rather not).
I think it's time to upgrade toa Nikon D90 or a cheaper D5000 or D60 then sell my dear Nikki!
other Nikon Cameras:
FM80,D3X, D2Xs, D300, D300s, D700, D90, D5000, D60, D3000

How to Play Farmville on iPhone 3G/3GS/4 sans Flash?
Wifey wants a shiny new iPhone 4, recently launched, to replace her 2 year old iPhone 3G. She wants to play Zynga's Farmville while she's away but since I again researched for a solution, hack, or tips on doing so...
It seems you really can't play Farmville on iPhone as long as Apple won't support Adobe Flash on iPhone platform. You're better off buying a new phone that supporst flash or ditch iPhone.
I still can't find an alternative software for Adobe Flash for the iPhone so I can't help you
