that nex5 is dingenius' one. he's using raydawn filter. rm25 only he said. lol.
that RM25 Raydawn got issue with flare if pointed directly at any lightsource.. (experimented myself)
but for temporary elcheapo filter... i must say is quite worth it la.. wait lah after 2 months then i'll buy a better filter~

nub NEX tips:

i am using iAuto mode + DMF... when half snap and focus locked... twist the focus ring...
it will do some kind of "manual focus check" similar to A550 (zoom-in the focused area... can see sharpness of subject before u shoot...

All sifus,

Pls educate me,
If I put in tele-converter with my SP90 ( to gain better ratio ), can effect my image quality?
Pls advise.. Thanks.
*
YES... but not that much... depend on quality of ur TC~
coz u adding extra glass/air in between..

QUOTE(marauderz @ Jul 17 2010, 04:38 PM)
Hey guys, in the focus menu, there's Autofocus (AF), Manual Focus(MF) so what's DMF? Couldn't find a description in the manual too.
*
DMF? is like AF first... then its unlock the focus so u can MF pulak..
example... u AF on the nose... then use DMF to refocus a lil to the eyes~

Dear Bros and Sis, i m in a dilemma regarding whether or not to buy NEX-5.

I have always wanted to learn proper photography. Been saving a bit to get a DSLR, but then along came NEX-5. Looking at the reviews, the only thing bad about NEX-5 is the menu which requires a lot of button pushes compared to conventional DSLRs.

My question is whether it is necessary to get a DSLR to learn proper photography?

I know photography is not about what gears you have but how you compose the photo and also your creativity. But then gears are important also.

I really like NEX-5 but just not sure if i should get a DSLR instead?

I purposely went and try NEX-5 out today in the curve today hehe. Damn nice biggrin.gif

Please advise bros and sis biggrin.gif
*
since i haf both... i still prefer DSLR as real way to learn photography...
u wont do much setting on NEX since its more like a PNS... for fun only la...

so +1 vote on DSLR...

Thx for the reply bro. Yes I like the portability of Nex5. I m used to PnS but found the functions very limited. Yet I m not ready to carry a lot of equipments with me during overseas holiday. Also I m not used to DSLR yet. So by the time I m Done with the settings and ready to take pic my gf would be half asleep already. Hehe.

NEX5 is still new with limited gears but there should be more coming in the near future right?

Any bros got lubang to get NEX5 cheap cheap?

Also should I get the pancake first or 1855 or both. Please advise a noob to photography. Thanks hehe.


Added on July 18, 2010, 12:53 pm

bro Ian. What's new in the firmware? Support for 3D panorama? Any improvement on the menu side? Hehe.
*
UGPM bro...

my opinion.... get twin kit set... price different only around RM300...
rather than buy a single kit and upgrade later where the lens price going to be around RM500-600

pancake ar.. i imagine as a point-and-shoot camera la..
u not gonna zoom much.. just shoot.. even noob can do that..
its just that NEX allowed u to set the function as what u like~

mastering89: We cannot change the aperture in video on the NEX-3/5 unless we use a lens with an aperture ring e.g. the Samyang 85mm F1.4.

You can only change EV while recording video. However Creative Styles, EV and WB take effect on the recorded video. It auto-gains when going from a bright to dark place.
bro... u haf a list ar which lens got outside aperture ring??

about cleaning dust on sensor and ovf is free if under warranty at service center.. but however, they did check and replace some other part for me.. and end up i have to left it over a week at midvalley (mean if u send via dealer, time will be longer)

btw, anybody know wat is slider(apa ni?), shutter unit(shutter replaced?) and penta unit(ovf?) on a200??
*
slider = err.. i oso dunno..
shutter unit = shutter lah~ it got its own lifetime.. maybe around 200k-400k.. if rosak.. can be replaced.. last time i heard less than rm200
penta unit = i guess the pentaprism jugak.... this is used for carry the image reflected by mirror between lens-sensor to the viewfinder lah..
