hi hokc77,
correct me if Im wrong, you snap photos professionally? (ie paid customer/client)
are your photos for web or printing?
what are the photo sizes you usually shoot (ie max resolution?) and do you do a lot of pp (crop, touch up etc) for your clients?

Thanks.

/me trying to learn from lowyat gurus and photo kakis ...

thanks for sharing knowledge and info bro hokc77

haha... achew
orang lapar terus suap cepat-cepat
but of course la the SP90 has great taste...

maybe photography books usually use the "proper" (or traditional) reference to aperture value.

ie. f/2.8 has higher value than f/8
hence,
higher than f8 may actually mean f/8 and bigger (or higher value) aperture means f/5.6, f/4, f/2.8, etc...

looks like 1600 ISO is still good (for my standard)
3200 usable
6400 acceptable
12800 - ermmm... for emergency situation only

from bro wcs2798 sales thread
tamron 1750 ~ RM1670
sony 1680Z ~ RM2500

thats nearly $1000/- more...

for my needs, Id go for the tammy for its constant f2.8 (whereas the 1680Z is f3.5-f4.5)

maybe off topic or slightly off topic, but I remember before there was a posting of storyboard or storytelling via photography in one of this alpha thread.

I just like to share this vidclip of Ukrainian girl artist, painting with sand depicting story of German invasion and occupation of Ukrain during WW2. Simply amazing. Maybe photo kakis can get some inspiration for next photo shoot. Its Ukraine version of "America's got talent".

IIRC, when I was in uncle Chin's shop Zaloon, I think I saw a sign saying "upgrading to ver4 for free..." (or something to the effect)

innaa lillaahi wa innaa ilaihi roji'uun
May Allah shower HIS blessings upon bro ryzans' soul and write for him to be among the pious.

a shocking news for me. Although I do not know him personally, but somehow this tragic news really touched my heart.

if you can afford a5x0 and not really urgent to get a DSLR camera, I suggest you wait a 'lil bit. I heard A5x0 will be available some time next month (ie October).
