QUOTE(nkymark @ Apr 20 2010, 11:33 PM) Hey, do you guys shoot with ADL on or off? It really takes a much longer time for the photo to show on the LCD (bout 3secs) when it's turned on. Maybe the processor of the D3000 is last century's  Cheers I don see any lag in turning on the ADL, lol.... I left it on all da time..... anyway u can edit after shot on camera n Nikon NX2 editor oso

QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Apr 21 2010, 02:21 AM) the lens is actually focusing in and out..not zooming. SLRs can never zoom themselves, need our hand to turn  u cant snap because ur camera was having difficulties to focus. since it's dark, the camera doesnt see anything so it doesnt know what to focus on. u shud turn on AF assist light for this situation, a small bulb in front of ur camera will light up ur subject for awhile to help the camera focus Thanks for ur fantastic explanation bro.... btw is there any photoshop tutorials u have there guiding how to combine 2 pics of different dynamic range? =D How to turn on the AF assist light manually?? for D5000?

QUOTE(fcuk90 @ Apr 21 2010, 02:49 PM) imo not worth , save the money get lens better Agreed, u upgrade ur skill better, lol....... Upgrade a body doesnt make much diff since both r using the same sensor n size, make good use of ur articulating LCD screen la... now most of the good lens we use r equipped wit AF-S, only the cheap lens advantage is the 50mm F1.8, personally I think I would rather go for the 35mm one or even the 50mm F1.4^^ Juz my 2cents  cheers....

QUOTE(maxh3h3 @ Apr 22 2010, 12:08 AM) its a cropped image, the cage too blur until cannot see already. thats the power of the 70-200 with 2.8 max aperture. f 5.6 wont be able to do that i think Huh.... even it's on the front? won block the subject mer? I tot only the back will b blur, the front will definitely block the subject

QUOTE(maxh3h3 @ Apr 22 2010, 12:17 AM) sleep and pray that its the battery fault good luck bro, but its not a bad news for d90 since u can play with the high iso my di866 still roxx  Added on April 22, 2010, 12:18 amu can try it with your own kit lens at 5.6 it will blur the nearest thing to your kit len if u focusing something far away but u cant compare 5.6 with 2.8 of course  I think u meant setting it at 3.5, Ok I will try it =) thx for da info....

QUOTE(zellleonhart @ Apr 22 2010, 12:25 AM) Yea using d90... no time tweak anything so video may be very cacat. I dunno is the batt low power, yesterday i charged it fully and it worked like normal, but i only used with 2~3 shots. one day lost all charge?! I don think the battery will loose charge so fast, unless there is short circuit inside, that's bad...... My di622 can last for ages with one charge, lol.... last for 1 birthday event, balik play around wit the flash, still haven finish using the battery up >.<

QUOTE(celciuz @ Apr 22 2010, 08:44 AM) Err no, did not crop. This one shoot right through the cage. The cage opening so tiny but thin cage. This is handheld, the owl pretty close to me LOL. No need crop to get so big. Woww.... that raaww power ler... totally cancels out the cage.... really nice =) so those 27-50mm 2.8 oso can do that la? haha.... cheaper option =D Added on April 22, 2010, 12:04 pmQUOTE(dantwt @ Apr 22 2010, 11:21 AM) Sorry for the confusion guys.. was reading about 50mm f1.4 ... got mixed up.. So skip the 35mm F1.8 and 17-50mm f2.8 first? Got quoted for RM780 for SB600. good price? Tempted to go for Di622 due to the cheaper price... *sigh*.. Yup D5000 and D90 offers similar CMOS sensor.. dats why i had my eyes on D5000.. U can find 750 in LYN, I saw it last time... was the cheapest price around.... Di622 perform quite well though, I'm using it, no worries of not enuf power=) This post has been edited by Kent3888: Apr 22 2010, 12:04 PM
