Can be mounted but I think no metering support though

i think it's okay but need to make sure that you dont suddenly take it outside because the heat could create condensation or something la..thats what i think..

better dun take the risk. put in box or bag. my compact last time kena but tat was the ice house at mines wonderland

I have a 50 Series E AiS lens... it mounts on D40 but no meter.

if ai lens mount on d80 can it AF? i know AF lenses can af on d80 body but ai older right?

bro wanna ask..did D5000 dont have auto focus? cos i read in some article
"the D5000 doesn't have an autofocus motor built into the body but does gain a tilt-and-swivel LCD."

can explain abit? cos im still comparing it D5000 and D60..confusing..
thx.

Both dont have autofocus motor built in.. Meaning if the lens dont have built in autofocus motor you cant use the auto focus function.. Most newer lens do have autofocus motor built in so it isn't really a problem..

swt...
autofocus motor is needed turn the focusing mechanism
the motor could be in the cam's body in some models
or the motor is in the lens for non built in motor cams

for example, D40/40X/60/5000 dun have built in motor
u nid to buy AF-S lenses with motor only u can auto focus
D90 n above models have built in motor,
so any lenses can autofocus on them, with or without motor in lens

thx a lot bro..thats helps me a bit to understand it..did u guys know the range price?

which model u wan to know?

D5000..and D90..since i consider it have build in auto focus motor..for body only..

Should be around RM 3000 for D90 and 2500 for D5000. If you don't have older lenses without motor both these cameras can Auto focus.

get d40 and use the savings to buy flash... damn bloody important if you want nice shots....
even if you're a newbie like me...got flash gun...cukup to cari makan already...

Yup, SB-600 way to go, a speedlight really helps a lot.

Go for D90 if you have the budget. No regrets.

I agree with that a speedlight SB-600 really opens up a totally different world of shots. With a speedlight/flash.... we can take pics even if the lighting conditions are not so favourable.

d5000 dont have in body af motor.

d40/d40x/d60/d5000 all dont have..others like d80, d90 all have.

long time no online already, already 48 pages
