I'm still on nikon, won't jump ship to canon even though my fren keep poisoning me with his 450D. My D40 is much easier and flexible to be used. With pop up flash in low light the Av Mode wont adjust shutter speed automatically, still low speed. And changing the AF point also not that convenient~

So i'll stay with nikon and upgrade to D90 if possible~ Nikon go go!

Some1 selling me nikon 55-200mm VR for rm480.. but it's 2 years old ++, no fungus but i dunno i really need it or not. My budget quite tight also, but if next time i need then i might need to buy new set with almost double price.. Hard to consider lehh

I don't need 55-200mm all the time but sometimes during outing i really need it. 18-55mm i use the most but at rm480 is really tempting. Last time i went singapore got concert of my fav singer but i cant capture cuz too far.

So i think im getting it. Waiting reply for the seller XD
What shuld i check when i try the lens? I dunno how to check lenses because this is 1st time getting a lens. How to check fungus, focusing prob etc?

Too bad i'm late. It's reserved for viewing 2moro and most probably the person will buy... so cheap T.T

im not referring to this guy... another one =)

if u dont have any flashgun yet, of course sb600 1st lor. flashgun is so fundamental in indoor/portraits.

Cheap filters are prone to lens flare. I went shooting sunset and when i used my cheap raydawn uv filter the lens flare was terrible. I remove it and no more lens flare.

Perhaps it's time for you to get a Pro 1D UV filter? XD

then the purpose of UV filter is just to protect the lens?

last time i thought hoya rm50 uv filter is a very top uv filter... but then recently i know i was wrong. toko is a better choice i suppose?

I see... you get what you pay =D

I captured sunset view in port dickson last 2 weeks, with raydawn (cap ayam i think) uv filter, TERRIBLE flare... I removed the filter and no flare at all. But it's very prone to damage without a filter, so i think i should invent in a better filter... At least hoya Rm50 one is better than mine ==

Hey, what is the difference of Hoya HD uv filter with Hoya pro 1d filter? which is better? Saw it few days ago

I'm planning to get a SB600 when i upgrade to D90. Nissin's TTL is very weak... And build quality is very poor. But nevertheless it served me very well.

Hey interrupting... So 18-70 is better than 18-55mm right? 18-70 got VR? got new lens in production? Interested to get one for my d40...

It's YL camera Many grade A/A+ 2nd hand body and lenses for sale there. And for new set they provide cheap walk in price too.

Shutter count i think need to use computer and opanda software to check, i dunno how to check in-camera.
Check thru the body see got scratch or not, check the shutter button etc... try taking a few shots and see got dust or not. Check also the LCD screen for dead pixels.

And yea ask for price slash!

shyt la i just bought one kingston 4gb last pc fair ==

Erm when i insert the kingston card into the slot the LED did light up longer than my original Nikon. But it doesn't matter la, cuz i saw it cheap there.

D40's burst speed is VERY slow and i seldom use continuous mode, speed isn't an issue for me at the moment =D

no much difference i think, it's normal SDHC anyway, unless u compare with sandisk ultra 20mb/s or better ones. i think la...

if yours is VC version i might consider buying XD
