Other than that and the screen... we can almost say it is a D90.

I would rather splash a few hundred bucks to get D90. D5000 is mostly aim at consumer level market.

Ala bro, don't let that get u down. Its always never about the thing, but how u use it  brows.gif. FWIW the D60 sports a similar CCD sensor as the D200, and its a helluva lot lighter, which is always a plus!

550 seems reasonably cheap, did u get to test the unit? But that's the thing la, u add another RM250 and can get a brand new SB600 - no worries and hassles anymore.

'it's never about the thing'
This is very subjective and optional. For me, gears are necessary to take nice pictures.

If its one thing i wish Nikon came up with, its  cheap awesome flash like the F58. The Cobra is one awesome flash gun, and at RM1k its just one of those lil things that make me question my allegiance to the darkside
*
QUOTE(alpha_company @ Jul 2 2009, 04:16 PM)
yeah.. i was thinking about that too..a top performer without the weight and bulkiness of sb900.

a top of the line flash for sony only costs 1k whereas a top of the line nikon costs like rm1.5k right? plus the swivel head of the f58..aiyaa..really nice la and most importantly very useful for wedding kind of photogs.
*
The cobra flash is one hell of a good flash by Sony. I agree to that point. But thinking of it, Nikon and Canon dominance of the market are unquestionable. Coupled with their long time experience in dSLR market, I never question my 'allegiance' towards the dark side.

yeah.. the picture quality is good ma.. but is it worth it for a price of RM 820 ( include filter, lens hood & pouch).. J One offer me that price.
*
If it includes filter then I must say it's quite worth the price.

The cloud type if I'm not mistaken is like the Stofen "tupperware" type which softens the light more. You may need to increase the flash compensation 1/3 or 2/3 stops sometimes to achieve the maximum effect.
*
Yea. I would want to try out the clear version if I have the chance.

But I think there's another type of flash diffuser. Much more smaller and it's something like a cap on top of the flash head. I prefer that more.

i dont know..im not a flash sifu

i just want to know and learn how to take portraits with sb600/sb900 flash bounced on ceiling and at the same time also using white card (to avoid panda eyes-shadows under the eyes and chin)..

i know the setup to this but how to quickly change to shooting landscape without the fuss of adjusting the whitecard to horizontal again. should i just use the diffuser and not use the white card at all?

I think indirectly you were finding answer whether to change system. Seriously, if you think Alpha is better, then go for it! After all, the camera is as good as the person clicking the shutter. There's no saying that Nikon the best. And Sony's flash really poisoning.

And I apologize if I take your words wrong. It's just my assumption after all.

Basically 51AF are way too much. You don't need that for casual shooting.
