$3K in SG, i think can get cheaper in malaysia

hi all,
I'm currently contemplating on buying my 1st dslr, and have my sights set on the d90..i have read excellent reviews of it..however, there were some complaints of the F** error, something relating to the lens mount..but i have not really read it in this forum yet..so i was wondering whether it was just a batch problem...so any users facing this problem?..thanks a lot in advance..

seems like u and faiz only discussing about this

i never had that problem before

yeah, true true, can save alot of time ( or else, do it in PS )

Btw, i nvr experience using flash gel before, anybody got example?

aah.. diorang dua orang je sembang pasal bende ni.. i dont understand at all about this thing either..hehe

which 1 good to buy? buy 1xsandisk 16gb 30mb/s or 2xsandisk 8gb 30mb/s? i can get 16gb rm380 and 8gb rm204.

what wrong with the lens mount??

i will stick to 2 x 8gb...in case of the memory card accidently formated or stolen...u still got another...mean u wont lost all the pic u snap...

huh? I dont get it
yeah, depends on how picky you are lo...I dont like my foreground to be ok but background WB off...hehe...i cant imagine to PS it like what u say hehe...painful leh

go get a flash gel and try

what he meant is, Out of hundreds of D90 owner, nobody want to discuss about it

Ok! i will get a flash gel and tungsten light soon!

i tot ur sb900 should have color gel already

Hmm..i'm not really sure also becoz i have never own a dslr...but from what i understand it seems that the contact between the lens and the body is not too good..they have to dismount the lens and reattached it or just turn off the camera then the problem goes away..i will quote one of the posters on the dppreview forum if that's ok

"once in a while I get an error message in the box in the upper right where the f stop is F- -.The manual states the problem is no lens attached,non cpu lens attached. I am using the Nikon 18-105 lens that came with the camera. This has occured when I am in the auto mode and when the shutter is pressed it will not work. I have to turn the camera off and back on then every thing works well"

and there were quite a few replies to this post that expressed the same problems..so i was wondering if any users here faced this before..thanks again..

Alright, I got this problem before. It is due to bad contact between the lens and the body. 18-105 uses a plastic mount, so you really need to be careful. Worst thing is that, it happened about 2 months after I bought my D90 kit . Its the lens, not the body's fault. Body uses a metal mount, but the lens is a plastic mount :S.

Thank you very much celciuz..but if u don't mind me asking, how often does this problem happens? is it so very often that it becomes annoying? wat did u do to overcome it? did you sent the lens back for repair or get a replacement?

F-- error, usually need to release the lens and lock it back in place. How often ar, not exactly often... bought mine end of August, maybe got it about 2-3 times only. Just the first time getting it made me panic lol. Turn off and on back didn't work, remove batt didn't work. Only when remounting the lens it'll detect properly.

that doesnt happen to me...so far so good for me...erm...if u scare of this problem...u can just buy the body and buy another lens that is metal mount instead of the kit lens...=)

hah i see..flash and WB is interesting ma

anyone wants a sb900?
the buyer backed out last min, and got the 85mm only....
sigh....

im short of cash else im interested

want ur sb 800 but no cash too..=(
