Guys which one is better? D5000 or 500D? Someone asked me

This is a Nikon thread, what do you expect??
Please go and ask uncle Google

when hi iso will be useful? still learning... normally we'll taking pictures on low iso rite?

low light conditions.. google up to understand what is iso for..

I'm guessing at that price Di866 should be better in build quality than the Di622.

Added on September 30, 2009, 10:49 pmFrom the comparison in Ken Rockwell's site, it would seem to me like the D40 and D3000 are using 2 different noise reduction algorithms. The comparison seems to be in one particular lighting condition so I don't think it is enough to draw a conclusion on the noise reduction performance of the 2 cameras.

Guys i don't know why but i can't attach or send an email to the address that Nikon gave us for the KL workshop.. Anyone facing the same prob? Can someone give me the address? Coz maybe i got the wrong one

Bought D5000 days before raya for the swivel LCD and interval shooting mode. Here's my first attempt at interval shooting mode. Frames taken at 30-seconds interval - should've use 10-seconds instead.

How do we capture the frames so that the colors are consistent?

Use manual for interval shooting mode, esp white balance must be manual.
remember to try few shot before use manual.have fun trying

If the D40/ D3000 ISO review is true, then D3000 1600 ISO is hard to use. May I know how often people here shoot using 1600 ISO? Thanks.

i did googled and generally i know what iso is for... but i want to know, from any of your experience, how often and useful is the hi iso (1600 above) in taking pictures. generally hi iso will introduce noise... would it be better if we introduce more light (external flash, etc) instead of increasing ISO?

ok..that mean u not really understand what iso is...well..if we have external flash, y we want to increase the iso so high?? yes, high iso will have more noise, but that is for when u in low light condition and dont have external flash...well, my opinion, actually the iso is depend on user, if u feel the high iso is having too much noise that u cant accept, well, go get external flash..=)

Great explaination but for the last one got abit problem.

My opinion with external flash is sometimes the flash can only highlight nearest subject, how about the background?thats why we use High iso to highlight some details on the back.

For example,in the hall with high ceiling,we know that our flash cant bounce that high and have to use exposure lock button(to use the flash as fill flash), the shutter speed will be too slow and the subject will become like blur blur.This is when the High Iso can do its job.

My 2 cent, still young and learning.Hope some taiko can teach me more stuff.

well..that just my opinion...because i dont have any dslr yet...=)
so some of the fact is i knew from web and some is i self conclude...XD
still v. v. v. new to dslr thing...=)

WHAT? u dont have DSLR and already know the usage of iso? wow. u better get D90 as fast as u can

just know a little bit lah..not really much...i did my research before decide to get a dslr...there is a web that teach me a lot of thing...well,i think that is for buying guide, but if u want, here it is..the web really poison me a lots..hehe...

That's right. Yesterday I just went Jalan Alor after going lowyat to eat, and when I captured my friends in ISO 200 with external flash only my friend and then table were illuminated, the background is very dark... Increased to ISO 400 then ok le ^.^ Still learning to shoot in dark condition~

bro,
how much is D40 and D40x these days. just wanna do quick check up. afraid that those selling in garage sales in overpriced.

Hmm D40 I saw RM17xx in plaza lowyat, but that one is old price, not yet ask cash price. Cash price and after negotiate should be Rm1500+

can still use big aperture if dun have external flash n dun wan use high ISO
but big aperture lenses price almost like external flash price la...
