what's so wrong about buying Alpha. I sure wouldn't mind having an A900 with all the lovely Carl Zeiss lenses like the 16-35, 24-70, 80, 135. Just take a look at the yummy Zeiss 135mm f1.8, it's so big n lovely it'll put the puny little 135L to shame. The 35G n 70-200G r nice too. And all those Zeiss lenses r modern designs meant for huge reso like the A900. A lot of the Ls r ancient already n need updates.  Only problem is Alpha don't have weather sealing n the big whites that I like and no fast action cameras for sports photography.

Birdy, u know the name Nigel Barker? Does he seem like the "play, play & snap snap for memory only" type of photog to u? Yes, he's obviously a brand ambassador but if the product is no good, he is definitely not gonna endorse it for it will affect his pictures n his career.

I don't understand where this hatred for brands comes from. Let's not be fanboys n pls drop the hatred. There's no need to get all emo over a camera. It's just a toy. Some say tomatoe some say tomatoh, in the end still a tomato. .

uncle ian.. 18-200mm mahal lar.. how about ini macam? Do consider my milk powder, pampers expense and future child education fund... with that in mind. What kit u recommend for noobie .. body + 2nd hand 3rd party also can (sigma 18-200?).

crowded and pushing time IS also won't help what.

in the end you go for faster shutter speed.

ahhh that fisherman, now i understand.

every time tell me he capture fish, he actually mean CAPTURE fish with his camera laaaaaa. i seeeeeee.

Hi guys some off topic questions..

Are we still allow to bring DSLR into FRIM? I heard they charge DSLR users since last year, is that true? Or do we have to really smug it? lol

hmm, reminded me about hacken lee & alam tham concert in bukit jalil, they said NO camera allowed. After went in, saw ppl with bazooka & monopod, i wondered n go ask them how they managed get pass the gate, they say

"Easy nia, ask fren carry the lens in their bag, he carry the body in his bag, enter separate lane loooo......, as long u don't brandish yo gears when entering...." LOL

depends on what lens la
some lens looks ugly with hood
ie 18-55
some looks cool
ie 70-200

Aiyooooooo mati la. Yesterday spam Japan GT at 10fps today suffer while sorting out the pics I wanna keep. Thousands of pics, all oso sharp sharp 1! Need to filter few times.     

Where got ppl choose between 1D n 7D wan la?

maybe 1D Mark I vs 7D

yeah the 1D mkIIn is priced almost similar with 7D
do you still have EF-s lens?
but then 1.3 crop wont it feels weird?
then there's still no UWA for 1.3 crop

this part needs change.

once you put your thought into the job, you shoot less frames but you have higher success rate.

with that, PPing part will also be much reduced since you got things right or at least, close to right off the cam.

you can talk to the pros out there - not one of them will tell you the hardest part is post-processing. if PP is the hardest part, it means you're probably spending the most time and effort on it, after all it's the hardest. then clearly something is not right in the overall execution.

buying from HK, will custom tax you for the new lens ? or how you transport it thru without paying tax ?

free ???
