Ya I know cathay more expensive, but if cant find locally then no choice lor. The Lexar UDMA alone oso worth few hundred oredi lor. Ok mar the price if they give Lexar. 1 thing that's really cheap there is tripods though. I saw a carbon fiber tripod for only $250. I was so tempted to sapu but I hardly use tripod out of the house.

Edit: I forgot to mention an interesting story that happened yesterday while I was camera shopping. The Alpha Old timers here will know all about this infamous guy. His name is called JACK CHOW. U fellas remember that name. Fella cheated 1 of our bros here. While shopping for my new cam this fella was around when 1 of the salesman called out his name. Straight away I walked out of the shop. I whispered to my wife the story of JACK CHOW n we walked out of the shop while laughing. The salesman must be thinking we were a crazy couple or sumthin. Kakakaka

Added on September 6, 2009, 12:50 amJust found out that I often use bounce flash and iso 100, it make my flash always work on 1/1, after I experiment with 70 photos bounce flash, its overheating now...

Added on September 6, 2009, 1:14 amFound out that bounce flash uses more flash power, if I don't bounce the flash, I shoot 200 pics at a time no problem of overheating.

nope.. i don't think it will spoil your flash.. the "overheat" warning is like a fail-safe mechanism for cobra so that you can;t use the flash when it is overheat

picture spam:



nao i'm off to bed. nite guise!

After i test flash for another 600 shots, its overheating now. Well, at least I convince that bounce flash uses more flash power and drain batteries faster. Time to get a flash diffuser, what kind of diffuser I should get if I take mainly portrait photography?

Go buy a Goh Ban Huat diffuser.

anyone know why when open raw file image in Image Data lightbox SR, the picture looks a bit different from camera, looks add a bit magenta & a bit darker ...but if open in Aperture the colour is ok, looks almost same like camera screen?

Update
i found a latest software from here:

problem settle..

Use a lenspen lor. Make sure it's lenspen for sensor n not lens. It's called Lenspen Sensorklear

Gary Friedman hacked his F20 flash to become an IR trigger!

wei_joice: If the Energizer is 2500 mAh then it's not a Low Self Discharge NiMH battery. I had those, they were pretty reliable (but of course, they would go nearly flat after a week.)

For paid events I always, always carry unopened alkaline AA batteries for backup.

lildaredevil906: Do not use the Sensorklear Lenspen until you have tried the blower and it didn't work. Most of the time, the blower will work, and is much, much safer.
