@ianho i was referring to the other ian! haha.
@(i forget who), not gonna buy a tilt-shift just to take a handful of building photos in a year, lol. so the 'leaning back' look sucks, huh? okok imma try straighten it out in PS and see how it looks. Thing is the short focal length distorts the perspective (i.e. the 'bottom' floor looks way longer/taller in comparison with the rest of the building) ... hmm ... time to google, haha.

Why do I get the feeling that with every post you submit in this thread you're always insinuating something about Sony that's one way or another better than Canon?The first thing that came into my mind when I read this was something about that new Sony camera, with that translucent mirror or something. If I remember correctly, one of its advertised features is that it has no mirror blackout. Are you actually going to cite that in a later post and say Sony > Canon?  |

I have it. The AF is fast, much better than the 5DMkII. But it is not fullframe... so sometimes, cannot get wide enough with just the 24-70 lah. Other than that, nothing bad about it. A bit heavy, but nothing more than a 5DMkII with grip. The battery life is great. Can shoot over 1500pics per charge. It doesnt' have built-in flash, so have to slot in the 580 whenever u feel like flashing someone. no google please... I want genuine experience from the owner [may whoever they are] The high ISO noise control is good too. But if given the choice, I'd take the D3s. Body manyak tough..... but even when I know it is tough, I handle it with care and don't bump into things. Never tried it's water resistance, because she's my baby. Shutter sound is great, both while shooting single frames or 10fps. Why? Wanna buy ah?  Buy mine lah.. hahahahahahahaa... pristine condition... at the same time, clear off all my canon inventory.. then I can join Ianho's german gang. |

Sony need translucent mirror coz they put 10fps into a cheap camera. Cheap Mirror assemblies cannot cope with flapping around at 10fps.

QUOTE(zstan @ Nov 4 2010, 02:37 PM) sorry bro. if you want to think like that, i can't do anything. cheers. I never implied that Canon was/is a perfect brand. In actuality I much prefer many aspects of a Nikon than Canon, but I won't get into that. each brands has their own advantages over each other. there's no perfect brand.My point is that with almost every of your post in the Canon EOS threads it's always something about Sony has this, Canon doesn't, come join us etc. It's bordering "fanboyism" which I believe is prohibited? I don't have to go search up for your posts and quote them but...really. Why is it that some people have to try so hard? I remember once seeing someone (presumably a Sony user) putting something like "I don't support the popular brands and I'm proud to be a user of the underdogs, I'm a proud Sony user" or something in his signature. I can't really understand the point in making such a statement, one's own insecurity? Oh does anyone know how much a 1D Mark II N can go for nowadays? I rarely see one for sale, if ever. |

Haiyooooooooo the 1D is not using crop sensor to give more focal length la. Go read up properly regarding crop n FF. The reason why Canon use 1.3 crop on the 1D is because that is the limit for shooting at 10fps. If it was a FF sensor it would result in ghosting. The big sensor cannot discharge quick enough. Current technology does not allow Canon to go bigger than 1.3x at 10fps.

QUOTE(ianho @ Nov 4 2010, 02:47 PM) Haiyooooooooo the 1D is not using crop sensor to give more focal length la. Go read up properly regarding crop n FF. The reason why Canon use 1.3 crop on the 1D is because that is the limit for shooting at 10fps. If it was a FF sensor it would result in ghosting. The big sensor cannot discharge quick enough. Current technology does not allow Canon to go bigger than 1.3x at 10fps. Just like to ask, how about for Nikon? Both D3 and D3s have 9-11 fps right? But I don't understand why 9-11. LOL.. Not an exact figure..Editted: Just do some comparison of 5dmk2, 1dsmk3, d3, d3x, d3s. Issit because of the mp of the cam? This post has been edited by Grajindo: Nov 4 2010, 04:27 PM |

Nikon doesn't do 10fps on FF too. It's the same problem every1 will hit. It's a technological barrier they have hit for now. The nikons are in crop mode when doing max fps. |

normally max is 9.
If you attached the battery grip, you get more power, hence the max will increase to 11. |

Depend on what you shoot though... and your prefered focal length. Do consider that the longer the length, the faster shutter speeds that you need to keep blur at bay. |

wish to get some info from the masters here, when comparing 7d and 5dm2, most of the users will say 5dm2 has weaker AF as the 7d has newer AF technology. but may i know, if AF of 5dm2 compare with 50d? is the AF (speed and in low light condition) of 5dm2 better than 50d? or just the same. thanks |

anyone is using a blackrapid strap here? I have been eyeing for a replacement strap for my current canon strap and the blackrapid and optech strap look very promising.
blackrapid's attaches the strap to the tripod connector, and another similar strap by optech attaches the strap to the normal strap hook. this site claims that attaching the strap to the tripod connector is not good for the camera long term. What do you guys think? is the claim true? any experience from sifus here? Optech's version attaches to only a single strap connector, im afraid that the connector might loosen due to the camera's weight.  any other pro and cons? black rapid website optech utility strap website anyway, a video about the blackrapid's strap  This post has been edited by azrash: Nov 4 2010, 11:59 PM |

There are some hidden AF assist points around the center point for 5dmk2, but this only can be activated with lens wider than f2.8. |

When ur shooting at f1, really need the 1/8000. N u better keep at least the 5D coz u will still need an SLR. Just taroh a ND8 filter for daylight lor.. no need 1/8000 di |

The guy asking bout hood for 18-55. Make sure u don't get the gaya petal hood ya.
QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Nov 5 2010, 08:57 AM) Just taroh a ND8 filter for daylight lor.. no need 1/8000 di No thank u. I don't like to use ND filters. I want to be able to walk in n out of bright n dark places n just snap away without having to screw around with all that. Also, u really wanna put another piece of black glass in front of the beautiful lens? N u want me to buy an ND filter for every lens? The UV filters alone already cost me rm700 per piece for each lens. Add sumore ND in front will not only degrade IQ, it will degrade my wallet. |

Guys, want to ask ar.
If I were to find a lens similar to the 24-70 range and constant aperture f/2.8, which lens should I consider ar? Choices are: Tamron 28-75 f/2.8, Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 and Tokina 28-80 f/2.8 From internet, seems that Tokina has the best build, lens wont extend when zooming, and has better glass. But I find this lens kinda 'cold' among photography hobbyist in Malaysia. I also never heard of this all these while until recently. Dont see anyone selling new. Can only find second hand ones for Nikon mount. The seller claimed Tokina 280 focusing speed is super fast, soild build, vivid colour output, standard 77mm filter ring. Downside are heavy, a little bit soft when full aperture open, paint at lens body easy drop off. Anyone has some thoughts to share with? |

Giaogiao pang, Tokina is very nice. The company was started by a bunch of Nikon lens engineers. They left n started Tokina. Very good lenses at much better prices but why u want 24-70 on a 50D? Not nice ler not having wide angle. It's almost 40mm on ur 50D!

XD Yeah that's one problem I get with recording videos on the 5D2, there's no headphones output to monitor the audio. If I want I'll have to buy an external preamp or use those Zoom recorders. Btw bro, I assume you're not using AGC right? Where do you usually set the audio levels? Another bad thing about not having an external preamp is that I can't change the audio levels on the fly while recording. |

And more and more lenses come in into consideration Eg: Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 macro (Price around Rm1.8k onee) etc.Then bro yrh0413 aka Daniel, reco me to get 24-70 or similar range, since i ady got 1855 to cover wide. I shoot stage performances more. Then shoot normal candid photos when go out with friends and occasional model shooting. For stage, 28mm is okay for me, as there will be some distance i'm standing away from stage. But for candid photo, i.d.k. lerr.  |

All new Sigma lenses will be in this smooth finish from now on. For the Sigmalux, it's the serial number starting from 11XXXXXX |

Sigma supposedly changed to the smooth finish because the old crinkle style finish gets worn off after heavy usage. The crinkle finish would peel off, and many users complained.

Going to HK next 2 weeks and trying to find some bargain. Heard the sigmalux is going for 1.2k Pretty poisonous. Afraid that later I can't control and ended up bringing both back home. |

Wah the new Sigma paint damn nice. My Sigmalux is supposedly 2nd version paint oredi which was said to prevent the peeling probs but it's still the rubbery paint. This new smooth paint is much better now.

But then I think the smooth paintjob on the hood will cause the hood to be easily scuffed, just like the Canon hoods. |

QUOTE(pengster @ Nov 5 2010, 01:35 PM) Wah wireless lavs, nice. I no budget for those kind of set up yet, although I want it yeap... it's a wireless system that comes with the lavs... but we used an AT boom mic instead... Yeah that's one problem I get with recording videos on the 5D2, there's no headphones output to monitor the audio. If I want I'll have to buy an external preamp or use those Zoom recorders. Btw bro, I assume you're not using AGC right? Where do you usually set the audio levels? Another bad thing about not having an external preamp is that I can't change the audio levels on the fly while recording. those equipments not mine 1... we rented it from somewhere... cant afford it yet... haih... i rather get an external preamp than a Zoom recorder... at least it has 2 or 3 mic inputs... since the price is almost the same... of coz not using AGC... i think all video ppl should know this, rite? haha... i normally test sound 1st... ask actors to speak like normal, then talk louder... then scold ppl... wanna get the perfect level... normally i will set it before yellow bar... |

I'm currently using a cheapo hotshoe shotgun mic, will have to do for now since I don't really plan on going deep into videography. But I'm already finding the hotshoe mount mic quite limited already, but what to do, not gonna spend a few Ks just for audio equipment. Well at least not until I'm 100% going into videography la those equipments not mine 1... we rented it from somewhere... cant afford it yet... haih... i rather get an external preamp than a Zoom recorder... at least it has 2 or 3 mic inputs... since the price is almost the same... of coz not using AGC... i think all video ppl should know this, rite? haha... i normally test sound 1st... ask actors to speak like normal, then talk louder... then scold ppl... wanna get the perfect level... normally i will set it before yellow bar... Seems like a lot of people recommend the Juicedlink preamps. At least with the preamp the annoying background hiss can be eliminated and can adjust the gain manually while recording. Yeah I'm using manual audio gain too, but I find it quite difficult not being able to adjust the levels when I'm recording. Most of the time when I record, the voices won't be at a constant volume, but up and down up and down |

A multi-purpose,fine-weather filter for color as well as black and white films. Also serves as a permanent lens protector.Nowadays, UV filters are primarily used to protect the front element of a camera quoted from Hoya website |

Gosh, I just came back from hell. Vomited non-stop since last night, I gave up this morning and doctor gave me a jab.
Food digestion problem. Then, I forgot to bring my laptop charger back to hometown, edited some shots I took last night, the moment I want to upload them on Flickr, pop! No more battery juice. Sad sad. Been sleeping on bed the whole day. I hope tomorrow will be better... |

QUOTE(pengster @ Nov 6 2010, 02:20 AM) Oh okay. I'm currently using a cheapo hotshoe shotgun mic, will have to do for now since I don't really plan on going deep into videography. But I'm already finding the hotshoe mount mic quite limited already, but what to do, not gonna spend a few Ks just for audio equipment. Well at least not until I'm 100% going into videography la dont worry, bro... even a cheapo shotgun mic will help alot... i'm more to videography, so photography stuff i dun really know. Seems like a lot of people recommend the Juicedlink preamps. At least with the preamp the annoying background hiss can be eliminated and can adjust the gain manually while recording. Yeah I'm using manual audio gain too, but I find it quite difficult not being able to adjust the levels when I'm recording. Most of the time when I record, the voices won't be at a constant volume, but up and down up and down I think i will spend money on audio equipment, cuz i really need a good one. Juicedlink? never heard of it... perhaps i should google it later... yeap, sometimes it's very hard to get the level that u want... furthermore u can't monitor the sound while recording... haha... but wut to do? hv to deal wif it also...

sniper, don't remove focussing screen if you don't want to make your day bad. It is so delicate that a microfiber cloth can scratch it.

QUOTE(fentanyl @ Nov 7 2010, 05:48 PM) That's why i am asking for advice. If the IQ is pretty much the same I think i have to skip it. Beside the weather sealing, some said the pic is sharper compared to the Tamron. Don't waste your money on 17-40f4L. Added on November 7, 2010, 5:50 pm Err yeah that is another reason. I dun have L lens yet. But if the IQ is pretty much the same, then maybe i have to skip it. It is for FF not for cropped. IQ comparison? Tamron 17-50mmf2.8 vs Canon 17-40f4L: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews...p=0&FLI=0&API=2 I find it funny on the ppl using 1740f4L with cropped body. The lens range is short, f4 is small, not sharp and expensive. Maybe it's the weather sealing feature they looking for. |

QUOTE(sukhoi37 @ Nov 7 2010, 07:49 PM) Don't waste your money on 17-40f4L. Well, it depends on what you want the 17-40 for. Some go for the L, some go for the specsIt is for FF not for cropped. IQ comparison? Tamron 17-50mmf2.8 vs Canon 17-40f4L: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews...p=0&FLI=0&API=2 I find it funny on the ppl using 1740f4L with cropped body. The lens range is short, f4 is small, not sharp and expensive. Maybe it's the weather sealing feature they looking for. I am a 17-50 2.8 user but change to 17-40 2 months ago. Maybe it is because of the work line that I do In many situations the 17-50 was unable to cope at the speed I was going and the 17-40 was just perfect. First point is USM Secondly is the colors and sharpness. I felt I could get better results at F4 over the tamron. I knew 17-40 wasn't the sharpest out there But it gets the job done and lastly is weather sealing. In my work, rain or shine, you must still shoot There are 101 lens rain coat out there but I felt I don't need it if I have the 17-40 I am using the 17-50 on crop, 7D to be exact and it yields much more consistent results over the 17-50 overall. @kimkoon: Do take note that the Sandisk extreme III is a much older version and it have been replaced with Sandisk Extreme The Extreme IV is replaced by Extreme Pro This post has been edited by azrinarizz: Nov 7 2010, 08:43 PM |

QUOTE(fentanyl @ Nov 7 2010, 03:48 PM) Need advice from experts here. I've got RM3000.00 to burn. I was in the situation before. Plan to buy a new lens. Please look at my signature for my current lenses. Two lenses came up in my mind: 1. Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L 2. Canon EFS 10-22mm Please advice. Other lenses can also be considered. Thanks guys. I choose the 17-40 L simply because I plan to upgrade to full frame, (2 more months !!!) Of course you can get the 10-22 first and sell it off when you upgrade. |

Totally new and challenging assignment for me today. Had to snap photos from the back of a truck followed by the cyclists. Endured bumpy roads of Malaysia, the smell of Rubber and palm oil plantation at its best. Not to mention also the car sickness after awhile because of the Genting-ish road.

Next year can save more liao. Yes, korek korek! Agree. Buy the one which suits your needs, as for me I asked people here before how's the Di622 performs, they didn't recommend me... Then switched to Canon speedlite, was thinking 430EX II and going shopping with mengsuan is a bad choice. He kept poisoning me with his 580EX II and helped to survey around for the best price... |

That will blow your mind even more I'll post at my signature when I'm done with my busy week.... Anyway, I personally think that the purchase of 580EX II is much significant compared to when I bought the Tammy. The flash totally blown my mind. Having said that, Tammy wasn't a regretful purchase as I needed the range too. |

Hwoarang45 - looks fine as food blog shots. among the 3 i like the 3rd one.
try to use the lights around you for highlights. highlights will bring out the texture and details of the food.  |

doesn't matter, you'll get it. you read my simple food shoot article?
quite often it relies on you to spot where are the strong and soft light sources and how to use it for your photos. the earlier photo i use flash, cos i was at event so flash la who cares.  not the best shot i have but you can see how i use the strong lights at the back to highlight the creamy texture of the dish. you can combo food also, one as subject while the other as decoration.  |

http://www.goldfries.com/photography/food-...sic-equipments/ you missed out this article huh?
see if you can pick up some things from there. when i want to TAKE PHOTO, i don't just suka hati go to the makan place wan la. i study the location, study the crowd (ok la not exactly but sometimes you get to know when got less crowd. less crowd mean less waiter / worker walking around. mean less light variation also). location means surrounding, see is it shaded or got natural source of light. blablablablabla.......... sound like going for battle right? of course, as a photographer you're supposed to THINK. not just go there and hentam and hope for the best. you hope for the best only after you think. you need to know how to manipulate the environment, with or without flash. some photos if i tell you how long i took to take and what equipment i used - you might be shocked. anyway back to taking those photos. reach restaurant also not really need to rush to find place. if you have experience, you can agak agak where to sit best. and also ........... eh i think i cover most of it in the article already, i'm just repeating myself. hehe. to add to the complexity, you may need to also consider the temperature of the light. no la no need to go touch it hot or not, sure hot wan. i referring to whether the lights are cool, warm or whatever. some restaurants like to mix their lights. either that or they cincai replace bulb with whatever color and don't care. i tell you when light is like that susah, even RAW also hard to adjust. |

Well thats why photographer are well-known and it is because of his/her "pre-visualization" comes true.
who said photography is all about pns... all about planning and execution. Like the guy waiting 40 years for a lightning shot and a japanese guy waited for 3 months for a sunset shot. QUOTE(Grajindo @ Nov 8 2010, 10:31 PM) is the body itself or the external flash? usually either your pop up or an ext. flash will limit your shutter speed.This post has been edited by ComradeZ: Nov 8 2010, 10:52 PM |

Any advice? i show you what i snap with +4 la.  <=-- notice i use the light to HIGHLIGHT the green part, showing the texture.    reason to use +4 : when items are small and my 50mm cannot reach due to MFD range. i think total time spent with my Raynox DCR-250 is when i'm doing my computer stuff rather than taking photos. works great as a magnifying glass to fix bent pins and read small serial numbers. |

If a particular effect is tried and is not satisfactory, simply select different Picture Styles or other RAW image settings, and process the file again. if you opened tried one of the default picture style and open that RAW file using DPP, i think it would load the picture style.

The 5MDH would be able to fit your current gears. At most you can add a flash before you run out of space with the 5MDH. So if you're planning to get more lenses in the future then maybe the 6MDH is a better bet. i have a 60D+18-200mm and 50mm so far... perhaps gonna get a flashgun... other lenses not sure yet... do u think 5MDH can do the job, or to be save, get 6MDH? i saw some Crumpler OEM quite cheap... dunno it's a fake or what... btw, i'm looking for screen protector for 60D... seems very hard to find tho... any recommendation? And usually those cheap Crumplers are fake Except the OEM Crumpler + Canon EOS 5MDH la. |

generally those with 1 strap you can on shoulder is called sling bag / shoulder bag.
the term Slingshot is for one of Lowepro's product range. *for clarification sake la. and single strap bag hurts cos all the weight rests on 1 shoulder. |

My sling bag can only use for about 2 hours else, my shoulder gonna break into pieces. But I find it rather convenient to carry a sling bag la. Still I wanna get a proper pouch or belt system. i'm a backpack guy... but backpack is way too over for my gear la... i saw all the backpacks for camera oso with alot of compartments... i dun need that much... datz the thing... unless there is a backpack that doesnt look like a camera backpack, not so big compartments for camera stuff... can fit laptop and got plenty more space for other stuff... QUOTE(pengster @ Nov 9 2010, 12:11 AM) Yah, viking has been using that since forever hmm... the OEM 6MDH only about rm180... but i wonder how's the quality... it looks very nice... The 5MDH would be able to fit your current gears. At most you can add a flash before you run out of space with the 5MDH. So if you're planning to get more lenses in the future then maybe the 6MDH is a better bet. And usually those cheap Crumplers are fake Except the OEM Crumpler + Canon EOS 5MDH la.stupid la china... what oso got fake... |

Many sellers misused the term of "OEM"... I think there is a thread on this section that guides one to differentiate the ori and fake Crumpler and Lowepro...

Kata backpacks are very good. I own two myself - they've never let me down. I'd particularly recommend the R-103 but it's quite costly.
I'm not really a backpack kind of person though, so I much prefer my Lowepro Stealth Reporter or Rezo unless I'm going on a long trip. |

After 3 months of "struggling". From selection Sony 550-> Sony A55 -> Canon 50D -> Canon 60D -> Canon 550D. I end up getting 50D.... LOL.... with tamron with VC. Seller recommend me the Tonika 11-16mm F2.8 lense, but i end up getting tamron with vc due to out of budget.
At first i have already decided to choose 550D.. But until i reach the shop and test each camera and found out that.... 1) 550D is really light..... real real light.... light until I'm unable to accept it as DSLR. LOL. 2) Test on the HD video... In fact I would rather get camcorder for better quality and longer recording. 3) The handling on 50D is really good..... It feels good when I'm holding it. 550D.... you know lah... 60D..... its "OK" to me... but i think 50D has more feel on it. 4) Function of 50D is really awesome... Lots of stuff that i can play with.... and I'm still learning it. This is my thought during purchasing the dslr. Tonika lense really looks awesome, if comparing tamron f2.8. I found out that tonika has more quality than tamron after comparing both pic taken live in the shop. (My thoughts) But price is like RM800 more expensive. T__T Conclusion: Join Canon Fans Club gang~~~, finally.... got lots of stuff to learn from guys like you all who has taken so much quality photo. I might post some photo here and need you guys to guide me. XD Or anyone has the photo taking guidance video or ebook? |

It's Tokina and not Tonika...
Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 and Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 VC are two different ranges lenses, how can be compared like that? Tokky is an Ultra Wide Angle lens whereas Tammy is Wide to Mid-zoom lens. 550D is very light? Yeah, because it is not made by magnesium alloy body but when I attach it with my battery grip, Tammy 1750VC and 580EX II, it really carries some weights now. At least those people that hold my camera said that it is heavy... To me, I'm still OK with it. |

You mentioned 50% scenery, 35% buildings, 10% people, 5% night shot and personally, hardly find the need to go all the way to 270mm for these situation.Btw, I saw from other forum mentioned that when zooming the lens (in certain range) it feels a bit hard/stuck, is this true? Cool, might consider a external flash if budget still allow. Also, lenses like the 18-270 and the 18-200 weights 3x your current 18-55 IS kitlens. It's worth looking at a canon 18-135mm/ sigma 18-125mm and use the weight/budget balance to get a 50mm f1.8 for low light situation (add together still cheaper and lighter) especially in places whereby a flash is not ideal.. like in museums, places of worship etc... and a big camera+big flash attached could create too much unwanted attention some less safe place. My 2 cents. |

I am thinking to avoid lens changing during my trip, therefore I am looking at all rounded lens. But anyway, I'll take a look at 18-135mm and compare it to 18-270 before purchasing anything. thanks for the info. |

It's not a job for the non experienced unless he's the backup photog. Why bother getting all teh brain fug for nothing in case screwed up ? especially when the "client" is your friend or family members. |

wedding photography is a lucrative business.
and there are some dark secret that are......secrets. only if u observe carefully how the pro set their schedule, how do the backup assistant is placed, and how do they pre-visualise the flow or story of the wedding, and how they use their social skill to interact with client etc, then welcome to the business. and p/s: they hate new competitors. |

For something like a charity dinner like alex, where it is indoor and ceiling is high, should use direct flash or bounce using foamboard better ? or Stofen diffusers? 450D max iso is at 1600, so nid to count on flash.

My n00b 2 cents : Direct flash straight towards the high ceiling. Light bounced should be diffused enough. Unless ceiling is too high (more than 8 meters), it should work. It's should overpower any bad lighting over a wide radius too, if not just increase shutter speed ,flash power and larger aperture. The Nissin Di622 would manage although a 580EXII would probably do the job far better. This post has been edited by LegendLee: Nov 10 2010, 01:40 AM |

QUOTE(chinti @ Nov 10 2010, 12:20 AM) I'm still a newb in photography and I tested wedding photography last week at my cousin wedding...my exp is that the light won't b enough due to the ceiling is very high and I guess all wedding dinner hv diff kinda light that will affect ur shot..so it's very hard to get the right setting at tht time on the spot...plus u nd to follow both the bride n groom everywhere to shoot which is another hard task... every event is different, that's why you need to get your basics right, and at least know how to adapt.bounce can be tricky. simple way is just shoot direct with a stofen / demb diffuser. use TTL. in Malaysia wedding very long process. pre-wedding. wedding day itself, then at night dinner some more. in places like UK - 1 shot finish the whole thing wan la. so when you say shoot wedding here, i believe you're referring to wedding dinner. wedding dinner usually dim lights and yeah, have to follow around. depends on how IDEA-FUL is the couple la, some of them want to do walk in in grand manner with music boom bam away. then got game show some more. you need to know how to go about. don't worry, we all make mistakes. mistakes on paid assignments do happen, happened to me before but it's part and parcel of learning. QUOTE(FirstOne @ Nov 10 2010, 01:11 AM) He is saying about owning that 3 lenses making the wedding photography easy, well, what i means was skill are more important. and i dono why u go reply with 1 lens bla bla sorry, maybe got conversation flow that i missed.

Another factor could be because with a larger aperture, the depth of field is reduced so only a small portion of the photo is sharp which makes the overall picture seem unsharp. Correct me if I'm wrong... Try setting the aperture smaller and comparing. |

QUOTE Added on November 10, 2010, 12:03 am next time just put the IMG here rather than link. for better feedback, best you put in gallery rather than asking here. the spam level is insane and you are not likely to get any feedback when that happens. good attempt but try having a wider depth of field, if you're shooting food at f1.8 or whatever widest aperture with your prime lens - you're not heading the right direction. might need some work on the exposure too. ok thx to ckdenion and goldfries sifu. Still much more to learn. just 2 week old with the 550D. Actually i did read goldfries blog b4 but some of them still new to me. Cant understand some of it. Therefore i will go learn all the setting and menu available at my 550D 1st. Probably will join some Tamron/Canon workshop later on. This post has been edited by KIntos: Nov 10 2010, 09:58 AM |

QUOTE(Jet23sky @ Nov 9 2010, 11:03 AM) After 3 months of "struggling". From selection Sony 550-> Sony A55 -> Canon 50D -> Canon 60D -> Canon 550D. I end up getting 50D.... LOL.... with tamron with VC. Seller recommend me the Tonika 11-16mm F2.8 lense, but i end up getting tamron with vc due to out of budget. Actually with the 550D body, battery grip with 2 batteries, tokina 124 and flash gun. damn heavy =.=At first i have already decided to choose 550D.. But until i reach the shop and test each camera and found out that.... 1) 550D is really light..... real real light.... light until I'm unable to accept it as DSLR. LOL. 2) Test on the HD video... In fact I would rather get camcorder for better quality and longer recording. 3) The handling on 50D is really good..... It feels good when I'm holding it. 550D.... you know lah... 60D..... its "OK" to me... but i think 50D has more feel on it. 4) Function of 50D is really awesome... Lots of stuff that i can play with.... and I'm still learning it. This is my thought during purchasing the dslr. Tonika lense really looks awesome, if comparing tamron f2.8. I found out that tonika has more quality than tamron after comparing both pic taken live in the shop. (My thoughts) But price is like RM800 more expensive. T__T Conclusion: Join Canon Fans Club gang~~~, finally.... got lots of stuff to learn from guys like you all who has taken so much quality photo. I might post some photo here and need you guys to guide me. XD Or anyone has the photo taking guidance video or ebook? |

Guys, i have a budget of RM3500. I should get a 60D with 18-55mm or a 550D with 18-135mm?
Does the 18-135mm better than the 18-55mm in terms of sharpness and image quality? |
