i found out , it is hard to focus using manual focus =.=

hai all..i'm just buy 2nd hand D60..anyone here can tell me which 3rd party flash lite n lens can i use, for now just use kit lens n no flash gun what so ever...
i just snap what i think nice to snap...
some pic i snap to much noise...to much light...to much that this that ..bla..bla...

flash would definitely help indoors though

since we're on the topic, is it advisable to buy 2nd hand flash? :S

Hi guys, need some advice from u guys but not sure is this the right post for it here? I currently owned a D3000 & i bought it on 27/11/09, just barely 1 mth plus & i bought it from Hong Kong with International warranty Service.

I love my new cam as it is really easy to manage & good for beginners But lately i heard the calling for D90 or a pre-loved D300 as i'm thinking of getting a lil serious wt photography. Wt my budget constrain, i need to sell off my new baby but i couldn't find what's the second-hand price for this model as it is still very new. Another question is how much can i sell it for? Would ppl want to buy a set from HK?

noobie,
Losing RM100 - RM200 doesn't sound tht bad, was worried that will people will press me for better price since my set is from HK. I was not told about the half year part. The seller told me that it is 1 year International Warranty which it comes with a card & also an official receipt. Many travelers or holiday makers were buying cameras from them when i was there. In fact another friend of mine bought a D90 & i purchased 2x D3000 (1 for my younger brother). HK really has got good deal to offer, but i guess there is a price to pay which is the warranty part. Just checked my receipt & card, it is stated 1 year and no further details But it is ok lah, not desperate to sell unless there is serious buyer then i can consider lah. Hehehe i guess the best is for me to work harder to save more & buy another set so i can keep my D3000 for traveling

nickon sb600 or nissin DI866 better?

suggestion pls

i'm usingh nikon d80 (y this thread no D80 1? =.=")

are u sure sigma 50mm 1.4 is cheaper than nikkor 50 mm 1.4?

last time i check the price at YL is around rm2200 compare to the rm1000 nikon 50 1.4 af-D
Still it is the most expensive 50mm out there

I need some update for sigma 50mm 1.4 guys , anyone know the latest bargain for it?

ya, the manual focus kinda worry me to buy f1.8 as for f1.4 is very expensive...
ARGHHH... this is frustrating...

new-comer here... just got my D3000 few days ago... haha...

currently residing in johor... but i travel between EM and WM...

ohh so even the 2nd pic is lens flare? okay thanks all

it was a SteinZeiser brand...i thought it's a good brand eheh (it came together with the 2nd hand lens).

is the HOYA HMC Filter UV(N) 52mm (rm79) good enough? or better get HOYA PRO1 Digital UV Filter 52mm (rm135) or HOYA HD Filter UV 52mm (rm166)? i always thought the pro1 is the best but why the HD is more expensive?

what if i get the HOYA Standard Filter CPL 52mm (rm143)? since the price not much difference from the Pro1

sorry to ask, if compare D3000 to D5000 which one more friendly used for new user??

Hi guys,

I'm in Melbourne and was shopping around for duty free dSLR. Got this deal for the D3000;
NIKON D3000 18-55&55-200MMVR TWIN LENS KIT
AUD899 = RM2822
Is it worth it? I'm a beginner FYI, and I don't plan to spend too much on a dSLR. Just a sufficient one will do :-)

Thanks.

Does the SD card effect saving pics and viewing?
My free 4gb nikon sd card seem to be slow...if i buy a better card will the saving & viewing pics be a little faster?

sorry man, this is not a place to talk about which 1 is good

i would say its all about the photographer

Pick your brands and start with it, dont waste time talk about it

What budget and what kind of photography u doing and what camera u have now?

most expensive comsumer DSLR is like rm23k ++ and most expensive lens is more than rm23 k

DOnt talk about what lens nice, just talk about what lens u can afford and what lens u need 

then izzit the most expensive lens can take a very good picture then ?

actually i only have 10K budget . body + lens .. I saw the 18-200mm VRII

VERY MEANINGFUL , THUMBs Up

aiyooo me finish another rm 320 dry box, d90 plan delay , slow and steady, d90 will come to me, YL keep d90 stock kaw kaw
best selling DLSR at the time being i guess, d300 sensor at the cheap consumer d90.

as a non professional, d90 serve one more than he need. dvlzplayground, u are worthy of holding a d90, i see alot of noobs holding pros like d90/300/d3 that doesnt know anything just because they got the money to spend.

as what in reply, besides the focusing speed, af-s lens is good because we can still turn the focusing ring even though we using auto focus.
i worried so much when my fren use my prime lens and try to adjust the focusing ring thinking that its a zooming ring. OMG

AF-D = time to repair or throw away
