haha thats my wish list.
i only have the D60 with the kit lens, and the Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6

glad everybody's happy with their D90s
hope I will be too once I get 'em 

dem.. V4 already... so fast.. 3 hari aku balik cuti, dah v4 page 3 lak tu..hehe.. guys.. anyone penah pakai 35-70 nikkor? good ke lense tu?

which model specifically? the expensive nikon 1224 isnt good as a much cheaper tokina 1116 proving that expensive doesnt necessarily mean better

"The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X is the best ultrawide zoom available for Nikon DX cameras, better than even Nikon's more expensive 12-24mm AF-S DX. " - http://www.kenrockwell.com/tokina/11-16mm.htm#compare

From the reviews i've read/seen on the net, these two are recommended :

- Nikon AF-S 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED-IF DX - around RM3000
- Tokina AT-X 116 Pro DX 11-16mm - around RM23xx-24xx

i dont really take the f2.8 and HSM into account because its an uwa..not tele...but IQ is most important

yup...no worries about VR/AFS motor spoiling..no need vr on an uwa anyways..

but one thing i like is that the lens wont physically go in/out when zooming, which is very2 good. can last better in rain/moisture

a question on SB600, is there a faster way to disable flash instead of turning the SB600 off?

Now im using the fn button on the cam to disable flash but is there a better way? Because i prefer setting the fn button to spot metering

d300 got 2 ka? yeah using the lower end d90

a nice addon but not necessary at that focal range..

the thing that i would really like to see on the tamron 1750 or any other tamron is a high speed motor like Sigma's HSM, Nikon's SWM, Canon's USM or Sony's SSM. or if they want to cut costs, just take out the motor so that users with built in motor bodies like D90 can have faster af with their lenses.

Yea prefer without the motor.. Would be so much faster to AF.. But added VC also not bad.. 

Guess what's this:

the moon



D90 80-200mm f/2.8 AF-S @ 200mm
1/500sec f/5.6 ISO200

Hi, every D90 users..
plan to upgrade my D60..
not sure whether D90 or D300....
Do u all think it's worthwhile to spend on the more expensive D300/D300s??

BTW if wedding D90 sufficient ma?

Some more nice pics. The price on the web page is USD 3495.    Put metal body, change dis and dat, add 10,000 ringgit   to the price.  Hollywood prices.

You have to download Adobe Camera Raw. Google it.

To use the spoiler tag

Above is post by Matthew Duclos taken from the redforum link I posted earlier. I think "RPPs" means Red Pro Primes (lensses). Check out the prices here. 

Cheapest prime lens is USD 5950 = 21000 ringgit.      
Cheapest zoom lens is ISD 8500 = 30000 ringgit.        

I think I need to see eye doctor oledi. My eyes pop out so many times seeing the prices of all these stuff. 

yeah.. i saw those prices before.. man the RED is some piece of equipment.. if im not mistaken, it can also fit NIKON mount lenses on.

just look at the design of it..it's like those ancient transformers in transformers 2 movie. red can also take much much better hd vids and even better still pics than dslrs..at least that is what they claim..

well..i would rather go for the RED as it is good in both video and still pics..only thing is that it's bigger.

IFA, Berlin, 4-9 sept 2009: the A850 replaces the A900 (you already know that part)

(BTW: don't miss Leica announcing the M9 on the last day of the IFA on 9/9/09)

CES, Las Vegas, January 7-10 2010:
Sony announces the A950. Basically it is a A900 with a 32 Mpix sensor. No video mode. High iso.

So this means that Sony keeps 2 FF DSLRs in offer, one at 1500$ street price (MSRP 2000$) and one at 2000$ (MSRP 2500$).

Expect a 600mm lens to be announced between january and april.

(Side note: this leaves Nikon and Canon to announce a D4 and a 1D mark 4 respectively around march).

From this point onwards, Sony communication will be focalized on the soccer World Cup 2010 (in june). Sony was accepted to be one of the only 6 FIFA partners already in 2007, time to get the investment back...

NAB, Las Vegas, april 10-15.
Sony announces the A1000. This will be a revolutionary camera, basically a DSLR video camera hybrid. Sony wants to use NAB, because this camera is mainly a video camera. Sony feels that RED is eating too much market share from their Cinealta line, so they need a cheaper offer along their more traditional camcorders. Expect the A1000 to look a bit like the RED, costs roughly the same and be able to take 32 MPix pictures while filming in HDV at the same time. Expect a 28-300 lens with SSM (typical video range and SSM is silent, which is important for video).
Around the same time, the A2x and A3x line is replaced by smaller, cheaper crop cameras with video. Expect a very cheap A150 without built-in AF motor.


Marketingwise, Sony communication will be axed on the FIFA:
-a pro SLR with the A950 (*)
-a new type of camera with the A1000, perfectly positioned to celebrate the convergence between photo and video on the fields
-Sony video pro stands will assist the Sony soccer photographs and videographs
-all this so that the typical soccer fan wants to buy a camera of the same brand than the pros: the new A2x-A3x line.

(* a photograph which uses a photo camera incapable of video pays less FIFA royalties to be on the spot, that counts on a budget)


(Summer: A850 ceases production silently. Camera stays in program until stocks are cleared, just like the A900.)

Fotokina, Köln, september 8-10:
Sony announces the A5x, to replace the present "5" line. At the same time, a new FF DSLR is announced, the A820. Basically, a A850 with a 32 Mpix sensor and a smaller, plastic body. SD card replaces the CF slot. Video mode, built-in flash, simplified viewfinder. 1500$ MSRP, street price around 1000$ for christmas.

The A950 replacement is to be announced at CES 2011.

i've read around and they say that after the new updated firmware for SB900, it doesnt overheat that much in TTL already. but i cant remember specifically what version and you need a d3/d700 to update the firmware.
maybe nikon SC can do that for free? anyone can confirm this?
