i don't think SD cards fail that easily, i don't mind using 16GB then at least i won't worry about space. bring 2 x 16GB la hehehe

I tot of getting another SD also 16GB one...how much for one arh now? C6 one

than maybe get the 12-24mm

erm.. you can see garage sales there, got some sandisk extreme III class 6 30mb/s

nikkor ah? you got expensive taste lar

love this lens too, not a uwa, but IMO a very very nice walkabout street photography lens

bro, rmbr d weight of 200 f2?

Nikon users r lucky, FX bodies still can use DX lenses, Canon cannot...
u'll lose on resolution when using FX bodies in DX mode
but for some lenses using DX lenses in FX mode create very nice lomo tunnel effect
seen b4 pics taken with 35mm f/1.8G on D3 body

sumtimes flares can give nice ray of light effect, but not all d time la

Nikon's ADL helps a bit in improving d dynamic range
quite effective IMO except when d contrast between bright n dark areas r too high la

if dun have d necessary hardwares, HDR is your last resort, can try ADL oso

was it reli dark that time when u took d pics? very underexposed to me especially d 1st pic
maybe u shud try spot metering instead of matrix

if can afford more expensive higher class SD cards, then of cos no harm getting better 1
for D40x IMO u dun reli nid so much space if u jz take pics in Jpeg fine
IINM D40x with 8Gb card can take near or more than 1.2k pics
i thk 1x8Gb card is gud enuf for u, if u want to be safe, take 2x8Gb

how bout cropped sensor widest lens?

Good idea wor.

Erm..touch wood, all SD cards for my phone or camera is still in good condition.

I'll still considering of this. Thanks.

Not really dark but it was slightly darker than normal.....it was gonna rain and i was under some shades.....haha.....spot metering eh? Ok, let me try it out....haven't explored metering settings yet...thanks for the guidance!

I wish for a job! ... just for laughs

Haha, 980-71143.......later that fellow will get spammed with miss calls from lyners

ADL only adjust contrast and brightness, doesn't help the sensor. Merely another form of PP done by the camera.

Joke of the day !!

i mean help improving image results in terms of dynamic range lor, in-built editing la

nikkor lens r good, if really cant afford than maybe will opt for 3rd party lens. but so far none of my frens r using any 3rd party lens, so never tried thier poison. and since nikon center always allow nikon user to test lens, there is truly a poisonous place to be.

i dint say it will fail..mayb somehow the sd card lost or get stolen leh??

I got this question here...usually what lense you all use for wedding thingy?

spelling check
u mean for hired photographer or jz a fren/relative casual photographer during a wedding?

opss hehe typo urmm jus fren/relative

if for me, 18-55 n 50mm r jz fine
18-55 for group shots n 50mm for portrait shots
dun nid long zoom lens like 55-200/70-200 gua

oh ok thanks

it depends on how u wan to take it. whether to take it from afar or near. best is take it near, than use 85mm or 50mm so u wont be a bug in front of the newly wed. use zoom lens when they r a far or u just cant be too near at certain point of time.

just my 2cents.
