D5000 without same above - RM 2700
Wat u guys think on the price m getting? reasonable or way reasonable?

Doubt 1
Why pay high for a camera wic only can zoom few metters away? 3-4 meter.. the both model wic i and the shop fella tested can only zoom miserably with its standard lens kit.. if m not mistaken its 18mm - 55mm...

Possiblity 1

thanks...here's the exif
iso - 200
f/3.5
1 second


yes....very2 noob using speedlight
any advice?

u might want to consider nikkor 18-200mm.. since its wide (not wide like 10mm la) but can zoom up to 200mm..
buy body only, then choose the right lens lah..

use no flash - slower shutter speed? or use flash with diffuser, since the flash on the flower is kinda hard/harsh..

just my 2cent

thanks for the advice..
i did use the built-in difuser but the light still kinda harsh...
maybe should use the fill-in reflector next time

or dont use flash at all..

Can also try the "tupperware" diffuser. It should help to soften the light.

Added on September 16, 2009, 9:55 pmThere is a new version of the 17-50 f2.8 that is out with VC (Tamron version of VR). Not sure when it will reach here but there should be improvements to the lens.

the expensive price tag is coz of its body, so wat if its kits lens zoom is lens is less than normal cams?
the main thing is wat DSLRs can do wat basic cams cant do, that is full control of settings
n y u nid big zoom for landscape photography??
the reason y kit lens zoom is limited is cos for daily normal photography wide lens is the 1 needed
if u really wan big zoom, n jz wan to buy the body(only D5000 got sell body only at around RM2.5k),
get 18-200, cos its like 1-11x optical zoom
70-300 zoom is bigger but u can do very wide shots at 70mm, no way u can take group shots or have difficulties getting whole landscape in the pic
My suggestion,
1) buy D5000 body only + 18-200mm VRII lens (RM2.5k + RM2.7k = RM5.2k)
or
2) buy D5000 with kit lens + 55-200mm VR lens (RM2.7k + RM900 = RM3.6k)
or
3) buy D3000 with kit lens + 55-200mm VR lens (RM2k + RM900 = RM2.9k)

dun get the 70-300mm cos it has no VR
VR is like anti-shake mechanism on normal cams
got 70-300mm VR but that cost RM1.9k...
hope this helps

u mean the "mangkuk" diffuser?

I have, but i dont post 'creative' photos here, just for my sister(in NZ) and friends who want to see their pictures
www.flickr.com/faiz92

sorry no creative photo there

UWA can take event photo, well not all the time. sometimes using UWA lens.u can actually get subject.( for me la)
got one of my friend (he is 17years old and using Canon 5d mark II with 70-200mm f2.8 )his photo quite dull after few shoots because not much "subject" in his photo
then he change to 17-40 f4, with his full frame camera,his 17mm is really wide and his photo become very nice after that
so the conclusion is, u need a lot of lens for an event
or u also can use the 18-200mm for landscape and event ,but for indoor, f5.6 is not enough for me

sometimes bro,u have to buy and take few picture first,then u know the 'POWER'

Bro I haven't gone thru much of your shots, but I found sets from this pretty cool~!
