Nice.
50mm f1.8 very good and worth the money!

its cheap & very good one!

Hi all! Newbie to photography reporting in to the dark side After some really long consideration between Nikon D90 and the Canon 40D, finally got my unit today.

Price 4115. D90 kit, Silicon Power 4GB SDHC C6, Kenko UV Filter, bag and lens cleaning kit. (Manage to get a pair of Sandisk Extreme III 4GB SDHC at a good price too )


Ok this was taken by my PnS. So bear with the quality.

Will need lots of guidance from the sifus here,

lol...that is exactly what i am gearing for...wee..

thx
it can be soft and sharp sometimes at f/1.8
best to result is always f/2.8

Still need to save money for sb-600.
Nevermind i should explore more first.

yep...f1.8 very soft...like oof lol. but sometimes sharp...

@illegaldragon87 - thanks for the 50mm 1.8 shot

@teybeng thanks for the 50mm 1.4 shot.. may i know which is it? the AiS, AFD or AFS 50mm f/1.4?

waaaa...current dream lens laa..adoii.. wanna get this one lar..

You wanna buy 2nd or new? If you wanna buy a new one I strongly suggest that you wait for the upcoming 70-200VRii which is supposed to be better, physically shorter but heavier. This lens is coming very soon.

Later if it's out you can decide if it's worth the extra money to get the VRii or maybe stick to the current VR version. Prices of the VR version might also get lower because the VRii is the direct replacement version of VR. Still available in production is AFD 80-200 2.8 which doesnt have any replacement model yet.

AFS 70200 VRii > AFS 70200 VR > AFS 80200

quote from kenrockwell:

"Even after November 2009 when this new 70-200mm VR II hits the streets, it is unlikely that it will ever be able to find one in stock. Unlike amateur lenses, Nikon's top pro lenses are chronically out of stock, so order yours and wait. They always come in, just don't whine if it's not in stock (or goes out of stock) right before a big job. Nikon has a hard time keeping up with the demand for these complex lenses.

If you do want one, order it today, because the people who get theirs in November are the people who ordered in in July when it came out. People who wait until November will have to wait even longer until the people who ordered first get theirs. "

guys, i wanna ask about the sdhc card...wondering should i get the 30mb card or 20mb or cap ayam 1...

Am using Sandisk Extreme III 133x which is 20mb/s IIRC.

so...any different between the 20mb and 30mb?? i notice the speed test on 30mb is 18 while 20mb is 15.....so let say if i dint take raw photo, izit ok if i just go with 20mb? or any cap ayam will do??

cap ayam is what brand aa?

other brand than sandisk loh...ea : toshiba, kingston........

I trust sandisk and you do fine with the 20mb/s card.. a nikon D90 wouldn't really benefit from 30mb/s card..

A D300 or Canon 40D or other dslrs with higher fps would benefit from a high speed card. I would also recommend a 4GB Class 6 Transcend.

A kingston card is overrated... a class 6 kingston compared with a class 6 transcend (about the same price - around Rm50) ..the kingston has a much lower transfer speed.. it's overrated. I'd buy a few Class6 4gb transcends with the price of only one 20/30 mb/s sandisk. same lifetime warranty.

if you want serious speed, imo a d90 would not really suffice even with a 30mb/s card. d300 upwards is the answer.

oic...thanks for the info =)

u can take raw photos with any sd card actually.. the main reason for a high speed sd card is to take burst shots in raw format..
