Congratz on V5! I'm using D60, my next target is a flash! But under strict budget of RM400+-. I want to get SB600 but money not enough By the way, I tried my cousin's Nissin Di622 that she used for her Canon 450D, it cannot function on my D60. Why?

welcome~! 
wan add name nid inform Kimurastanley, but he'll c your post anyway
wow, u got the 18-200VR ah?
Shashinki.com got sell the hood, but maybe u can find cheaper price elsewhere
about the 3rd party flash, i dunno cos nvr use b4, u hav to ask those using it

Wait kimura add you in =)
You can try shashinki.com, see whether they got sell or not.
Or J-One in Amcorp Mall PJ.

I am a di622 user, from my experience it's a quite decent flash gun, strong enough, got attached bounce card, and cheaper than sb600 (around rm450)...

Just one thing, it's big, and the AF assist light is not corresponding to the angle the lens is pointing. visit the nissin di622 thread for more info~

i havent use falcon eyes be4, but i owned a Nissin Di622... i lik the outcome tat it produced... for me, i think itz a good flash... the oni prob for me is itz too bulky... 

the problem now is how to tell whether you're buying the "newer fixed Di622" and not the old stock? cause there's a lot of old stocks out there for all i now ..

need to test in a completely dark room to really make sure..and cant really do that at shop..

@latias93 ..can post a picture of your D60 with 18-200VR? side view and top view..and maybe an angled view.

considering either a new sigma 18250 os hsm or a used tammy 18270 (cant really find any) or a used 18200vr

@latias93 ..how much did u get for the 18200VR? 2nd hand right? wow that would make even bigger dslr look small..just with that lens..

and it's quite heavy right??
btw, thanks for taking the pictures.. 

morning guys and girls. anyone going to Japan Super GT today?

wow, given by father
must very syiok very he hand it over to u 

btw, can take pics of the lens fully extend?

OMFG.jpg

the 18200 is your dad's right? the d60 new or 2nd hand? and do you still have warranty for both?

Your camera still under warranty? Maybe send it back to Nikon centre for checking. No harm doing so. 

yup i too suspect that it's the lens and u should send it for warranty if there's still one or just send it for repairs. remember to bring your d60 when sending it..ask ur dad 1st if got warranty..

kit. ic i was wondering if shops in KL like lowyat plaza got cheaper ones. the cheapest i found was RM1.8 k in 1U for Kit...

any secondhand shop to reccomend?

wow..2k worth of vouchers.. d60 like free la..

Get SB900. No regrets. 

Me scorpio too!    But I still like to share gears. Sharing is caring ma. 
How I wish my dad likes photography too!

Btw, if you have SB 600. Then use it for the time being la. When you have the budget then only upgrade.

i read from magazines that 1 full size RAW file from a D3X is about 60mb...

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?

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...
