dust enter thru lens?
D3000 still new mah, later will got guide come out 1, not so fast only
maybe D3000 dun nid guide book, cos got build-in guide mode d?

wah, all really aiming to upgrade to D90 arr?
last time i wanted to aim for D90 too, but the only major difference D90 have to D5000 is body motor n top LCD
so now aim for D300s or maybe D400 in da future
but loooong way to go la

my favourite mode is M, unless using lens with larger aperture i'll use A
hate using S, cos usually underexpose if want high shutter speed but lens do not have large aperture

lol
u mean Shih Tzu? not Chih Tzu
then how bout D40/D60/D3000 users? walking chihuahua?
FX cams users leh? walking German Sherperd i think

off cos la, D90 bigger mah...
but D5000 still better than D40/D60/D3000, even smaller grip
no offence to the owners, but its a fact rite?
but these small body cams put battery grip can have more "feel" oso

believe me, i have enormously large hands oso
1st time i hold n use a DSLR is my frens D40x
after bought my D5000 then add the battery grip
go back try use my fren D40x, i was thinking, got so small meh?!
lol

D90 got, D5000 dun have

if u like taking indoor n night pics, dun nid think d, flash is a must for these type of pics!
go for SB600, but if budget constraint n nid it fast, Nissin Di622 is up to the job

he's asking for the AF-D 50mm f/1.4, not AF-S, which the price is ok compare to the overly expensive AF-S
n he said 35mm f/2, not the AF-S 35mm f/1.8, which is more expensive than the AF-D 50mm f/1.8

u can use build in flash as "commander" for both Di622 n SB600
both flashes can detect the light from build in flash n fire simultaneously
if u wan both flash n prime, cheapest package will be Di622 + 35mm f/1.8
Rm450 + Rm750 = Rm1200

y not? maybe he dun mind using manual focus
or could be he do not know those lenses cant autofocus on D3000
but he did state 50mm f/1.4D & 35mm f/2

im not talking about the real commander function
without commander, D40/D40x/D60/D3000/D5000 still can activate sb600/sb900 to flash wirelessly using built-in flash
this function is called SU-4 type wireless flash shooting, where camera's built-in flash can also be used as a master flash unit
*info taken from SB-900 user manual

i recently only jz found out about this function

seriously, sb600 & sb900 can detect your camera's built-in flash n will fire simultaneously
is jz it cant TTL with your cam this way, u have to set manually the power, on auto it'll flash at full power normally

shinjun: this is the 3rd way to do off camera flash

anyone used b4 Nissin Di622 for off camera flash will get what i mean

i checked Sb600 specs, nope, it do not have SU-4
seems like i gave some wrong info there, sorry

D40 no more in production, but doesnt mean no new set in the market
but new D40 is very very very very rare, close to non-existent i think
have to search many shops b4 u can find a single 1
last i heard new D40 kit selling Rm1.4k

using flash on sunny day is called fill-in flash
to brighten up your subjects when exposure is low due to bright background

so got ppl actually think using flashgun during daytime is show off?
thats y i hate to use flashgun outdoors unless unavoidable, im afraid ppl thinking im a showoff

i have a request to ask from D3000 users
my fren is gonna buy D3000 kit(edited) n he wants to know where to get the best bargain in Klang Valley

can D3000 users pm me where u bought your cam, how much n what free items?

any info is greatly appreciated
thx

problem with flash pouch is to store the flash u have to tilt flash head 90 degree up
so, too long~!
*not really a problem actually

i nvr tried taking pics in pasar malam, takut kena rob!
anyway, night shots maybe shud try max 800 iso
n dun use too low aperture, most background will be not sharp
can try with flash if u dare

D5000 using same sensor with D90, so technically count as using D90 or not?

anyway, maxh3h3 using what model? D80 as in siggy?

the noise control at ISO1000~

i know D5000 n D90 sensor same, is it same with D300 i dunno

on crop sensor cameras, called DX cameras, 50mm is equal to 75mm on a full frame(FX) camera
it means any lenses on DX cameras the focal length becomes longer than supposed to be on a FX

how to explain further...
on DX cams, 50mm is not working as 50mm d, instead work as like a 75mm lens on FX cam


AF lenses is the 1st generation lenses which can AF

difference in AF-D lenses is they can relay distance info to the camera
btw, there's no such thg as D lenses, it is referring to AF-D lenses

AF-S lenses r lenses with built-in SWM(silent wave motor)

G lenses is without aperture ring

i hope i explained correctly, any mistake pls correct me
if nid to know more can check HERE

to be exact, price differ by 1.2k
D90 kit price at Rm4k, D5000 kit price at Rm2.8k
