Guys, this Sunday, my teacher ask me to take his photo at his wedding. I only have 2 lens as stated in my sig. I think I'm going to borrow my friend's SB600. Could you guys give me some tips about wedding photography?It's my first time!

nope. still in moscow. coming back this sunday.
currently already bought 17-55 vr.
still browsing for 35mm. i might just grab it if there's any bargain price.
so far, 790 is the lowest offer.

Haha you also scorpio! Ya lah, I also think I should use the SB 600..

Holy chips! That's really big! 100 pics = 6GB

Some may like to shoot with primes. But you only have kit n zoom. In this case I would recommend you to snap with kit lens. There's not many tips except to shoot and keep shooting. Take as many as possible and bring extra batteries as well as memory cards. Perhaps you want to shoot with RAW too!

whattt??? 60mb? if edit in capture nx, that will include the original file size and cached...must be over 100mb for sure..

ermm, my one photo is 1.06gb in size

wat camera model?? D3X?
1.06Gb for 1 RAW pic or wat??

Hi guys, im new here. Currently looking for DSLR around budget RM2k. Whats in my mind now is Nokia D40 and D60..may i know which one is more worth it to get? I have compare both and its does not seem have much different in both except the megapixel. Can anyone enlighten me?

no lah. it's a largeformat film scan. scan it at 4000dpi

oh.. never knew what those things look like..

but saw a nikon film scanner..not sure if it's largeformat la..but the physical size of it is small..can easily connect to computer..

LOL, Nokia or Nikon?

Haha since when Nokia manufacture DSLR
Depends on your budget, if you wanna go for broke get D60, if you wanna save a few hundreds go for D40.

for me i need the flexibility of having the extra megapixels because i need to crop quite a lot for some pics and still have the quality for large sized printing..so i went for d60.

ooops.....typo ooo ok, i think i made up my mind, thanks guy

so u gonna get what?

Go for D40. Save up money for others.

Probably the best choice for low fund users.
You can get a new D40 at Rm1500~RM1700 (or second hand even cheaper, 900~1200). Most 2nd hand are always taken good care by the ex-user, like mine, if you're lucky you find D40 with a few months warranty left or with extra things (I got a free tripod and extra battery).

Why getting D40? Cuz D40 is cheap, although with only 6 megapixels, but it's very sufficient for large prints and megapixels don't affect image quality (unless it's only 2MP then it is ).
D40 also has higher flash sync speed up to 1/500, but D60 is only 1/200.

After getting D40 instead of D60, you might have extra money. Save it and invest in your FLASH GUN. External flash is very essential for taking photographs like portraiture especially in dark condition.

And don't forget you might not satisfy with kit lens, so after a few months you might want to upgrade your lens to zoom lens or get a prime lens or whatever lens you like. So if you are not funded it's advisable for you to get a D40 and save for other accessories.

Other things you need after getting D40:
1. Flash gun
2. Rechargeable batteries for your flash gun (can use cap ayam but the recycle time is long and the battery drains real fast)
3. Tripod (for night shot, slow shutter speed shots)
4. Camera bag (to protect your camera and lenses when you are going out, and it's not cheap e.g. Lowepro) ---- optional
5. Dry cabinet (to protect your camera and lenses from humidity, so fungus won't grow) --- Optional
6. Extra camera battery pack (spare battery when your primary battery runs down)
7. Filters (UV filter/ND etc)
.... and there are a lot else...

If you want to save more get the D40, which is already discontinued so you might wanna hunt around the internet to get it. The D60 is widely available in the market though, so it's really easy to get.

Added on June 27, 2009, 10:54 pmYea, even my D60 is set at 6MP. Aiya, don't scare the guy lah! You list out so many things that you need after getting a D40 LOL.. that'll cost a bomb. Usually tripod, UV filter, and camera bag will be received free, most shops/dealers got package. Dry Cabinet can be made yourself.
