i got LX3 and DSLR too...for portability LX3 wins all...indeed LX3 can produce very stunning picture quality since the lens is designed by Leica....quality is superb until ISO800...
but if you wanna play around with lenses i strongly suggest u buy a DSLR....when you find out the improvement of image quality after changing your lenses , nothing can beat tht satisfaction and happiness!

how bout tt dis week...long time d never lepak with u guys la...

TT? sounds good... hit me the time and place

Eddy, no, the shutter count does not effect the shutter button or vice versa. if it gets really bad, send it in for a quick servicing, or if you're game enough, find a suitable screwdriver and open up the top panel and clean the button yourself, could be caused by a build up of dust and grime.

i can't wait............. for Alpha to release their HD video DSLR. been waiting since Nikon D90 days already T__T

fansoption: A benefit of a macro lens is that you can get close and isolate the subject.

I don't think you're isolating the subject. Unless you intended to put the subject and background together to make a story... but I don't see a story, either.

#6 could use deeper DOF too.

By the way, did you put the Full/Limit switch to Limit by accident?

ForlornBrat: What is the story about these shoes?

eddybeh: Use a faster shutter speed - 1/15th of a second at least for posed crowds.

Don't use HSS except for daylight or when trying to disable the pop-up flash's effect on wireless flash shots.

If the ceiling is too high, you just need a large flash diffuser or bounce card.

neo_lam: HSS has nothing to do with it; in fact you'll waste battery power with HSS. Faster shutter speeds can be anywhere between 1/15 and 1/125s also!

e-jump: Congratulations! You've got a nice prime duplet. And yes great RM3700 price!

signither: I don't feel very well after seeing the price of a Canon Powershot A480. RRP RM379! The 5DMkII's retail price is RM9,688 though.

Anyway my friend was thinking of selling his Canon 40D and 24-70mm last year for an A900. However Canon had just adjusted their price and extended the warranty on new units, making him unable to sell his older stuff for the price he wanted.

Question is, are you going to be a slave to pricing? Is the Canon look what you want? I know I don't want the Canon color, bokeh or ergonomics, so even if it was cheap as heck I wouldn't jump at it.

wow...love your confession bro...

albnok - as dirty as the wall? lol

william: icic.... then i shall bear with it until it gets really bad... thx...

Hi i using FULL, why maybe i too new in macro stage.

KM1735 woh...show some spam pls..

braindead_fr3ak: Welcome back! The yellow book on the right distracts me somewhat as it stands out from the vignetting that is otherwise consistent in the photo.

fansoption: No, FULL is good - I was thinking you can't get close enough because you accidentally set it to LIMIT. LIMIT is for when you're not shooting macro - it will focus faster.

Might be thinking of that as well. Well im still searching for a suitable lens for my style of shooting.

Very naisu lens.

yea..i was exploring with creative lighting a bit on that...... ahhah.. was using a spotlight of sorts ...had created a unique lighting effect when WB was applied..ahahha ...

interesting stuff............

no vignetting was applied though...natural 1750 vignetting

agree on that. already familiar with alpha and it felt so nice in my hands. don't really like the button placement for the other big two. their battery grip also not very ergonomics. the shutter button is way to high. since i'm just a hobbyist, i do care about ergonomics.

hi sifu-s any idea where can i get the aromatherapy incense around PJ/KJ. Been playing with mosquito repellent for smoke photography and it really makes me pening seems like most of the outlets changes to candle like type and not the incense ones.
