Perhaps you might be able to squeeze in some budget for a 1000HS which has a f/2.0 lens yo! Not too sure about the exact pricing but if i remember correctly, it should be around 1k la

Anyway, guys more food shots coming very soon!

p/s: Sorry about the compositions, relatives were at the table so weren't very confortable with taking so long to shoot as they were very hungry!

If you can go a bit nearer should be better.


Wee, Tg. Sepat trip with the family is confirmed. Will be going there in 2 weeks time, can't wait to snap some photos and enjoy the serenity of that little fishing village.

@kytz
I looked up on IXUS 1000 HS too but the RRP is 1399... On tight budget so can't exceed RM1000.

For Canon camera, you never have to worry about in-body focus motor. All models use the same thing. No confusion.

@kytz, good attempt there
watch out for wb
still looks bit yellow even though you used tungsten

not sure right place to ask, anyone here, or known anyone open a photo processing shop? i was wondering whats the average capital to start one, any ideas?

hey guys just want to ask on your opinions..i currently have the 450d, i'm planning to upgrade to 60d..

i can;t seem to decide between the older 50d and the 60d...

any benefits of the 60d besides the rotating screen (which i think comes useful at times...sometimes) and the higher megapix(do we ever care abt this? i rarely shoot at High resolution)

perhaps the video recording function..

aiya the third shot makes me feel so hungryyy . dude someone is selling his kitlens+filter for 250,go look

i guess so...but even my phone can do HD recording..haha

just the other day when i was at a wedding i noticed this guys holding the 60d shooting a video..

i just don't get it..the dslr should serve for one purpose...which is taking pictures..

@kytz - white balance is not too bad but could be brighter, then you're still careless with the distraction. go higher angle and i can, widen the DOF. good work on this one. not necessarily have to go closer, you can use crop.

Then mobile phones should have just a single function that is to make and receive calls?

if u say so, means phone should serve to make calls onli..

well, its a FullHD video recording with interchangable lens to suit u.. your money, your choice.. =)

a used lx3 or a used s90

hm... there is a tamron 17-50 vc going cheap in garage sales.

Totally agree!

the 50d sounds like a better bet then...save up on more moolah...haha

New generation of DSLR doesn't really meant for taking photos only.
HDSLR is something that looks tempting but I'm yet to start exploring.
Plan to get another 16GB SDHC specially for HD video.

That shows that you've never seen what a DSLR can do when it comes to shooting videos. Google up and you'll be impressed. Mobile phones that does HD recording are just marketing gimmicks.

Thanks goldfries. Agree on the distractions, yes they are pretty distracting. Couldn't take my time to compose at all, let alone position the dishes to angles which i want or move away the distractions

I'll try to work out what's the best aperture i should be using-perhaps f/2.8?And will work out on higher angles ya

White balance i set it at Auto Imma lazy, still haven't play play with manual WB yet, but i rather shoot RAW
