Currently I'm using Tamron 17-50 VC so far no focusing problem even in low light compare to my old Tamron 18-270 VC. IQ wise very sharp except 50mm focal length obviously soft @ f/2.8 but no problem at f/3.5.

I can say Tamron 17-50mm VC is really worth the money. A lot of users saying that the VC is not necessary for 17-50mm focal length. My answer is NO, the VC is very useful even in wide focal length. I can shoot at 1 sec with handheld @ f/2.8. Can non-VC do that? I don't think so..

The VC activation is a bit slow compare to VR and OS. It takes about 0.3sec to activate the VC.

hey.. you should buy a small drybox.

my d90 bought in May 2009 now shutter count 14k already. But still can't get any nice photos yet... memang memalukan..

i would suggest you go for 35mm f/1.8 instead. For me actually 50mm is too tight.

A lot of people saying that 50mm is good lens, yes, but for me actually not that good for DX camera.

It's depending on what you like. Some people prefer zoom lens some prefer prime. For me I just love my Tamron 17-50 f/2.8. hehe..

If you're in tight budget 18-105 is a good choice..

lol. i was there too. i was in bar madrid. she just sit right infront of us (not next table la). i think i heard your friend sing birthday song for you.

For me i believe in cold weather the battery won't drain up as fast like what they said.. the just listen what other people said and then follow..

Next 2 months I'm going to Kinabalu Mount.. let me test it out and let you guyz know.. heheh


Anyone know D90 can disable the auto LCD display photos every shots has taken?

oh yea.. i found it.. lol

you're like just wanna spend money without any reason..

it's all depending on your needs.. which focal length you shoot more or prefer..

rm2k you can get many types of lens.. for wedding you should go for 17-50 f/2.8 instead of 70-300 unless you have additional camera body for telephoto lens..

I would say no..... long range zoom lens the IQ not as good as short range zoom lens.. i rather suggest you go for nikkor 55-200mm

mind elaborating and shed some light?

what he mean is wide angle lens usually have large Depth-of-Field and focusing doesn't really important. You can do manually or whatever.

Basically the differences are

D90
- SDHC Memory Card
- 11 Focus Points
- Shutter Speed Max 1/4000
- Active D-Lighting (Off, Auto, Low, Normal, High & Very High)
- 4.5fps
- Fastest Shutter Speed with Flash: 1/200
- Shutter Death: 100,000 cycles
- 12bit RAW format

D300
- Compact Flash Memory Card (I prefer CF Memory coz I can transfer to PC faster.. hehe)
- 51 Focus Points (which I don't find any useful for this)
- Shutter Speed Max 1/8000 (I don't use that high speed)
- Active D-Lighting (Off, Low, Normal & High)
- 8fps (I don't shoot in burst mode)
- Fastest Shutter Speed with Flash : 1/250 (D90 also got FP ma..)
- Shutter Death: 150,000 cycles
- 14bit RAW format (Can select 12bit too)
- Additional AF button
- Can support AI-s Lenses
- Heavy but easier to hold (I agree on this)

I've personally compare D90 and D300 ISO noise control. D90 is obviously better than D300.

Both are using same size CMOS sensor. I believe D90 Chromatic Aberration control is better than D300 (Not proven don't shoot me .)

I never stop friends buying D300. But I will definately will stop them upgrade from D90 to D300.


Check this ISO noise control.. see which one you prefer.. hehe

no worry.. it will loose after 2 months..

SS = Shutter Speed

don't think YL got a good price..

service sux, LCLY face pui!

Nowadays I always buy my camera stuffs like stuff in KeyColor @ Midvalley, DigitalMania @ Pudu Plza, Yamiya, Lowyat Forum & Lelong (mostly buy from jimmychoo).

Those stuffs I bought maybe not the cheapest one but atleast i enjoy their service. YL highly NOT recommended! Unless you wanna buy 2nd hand leneses from them, heard their price not bad for 2nd hand stuffs.
