baru tau itu bukan upgrade, apa kah tu??
You bought an iphone4 last month, now you want to buy a macbook. It's that an upgrade you call? doh.gif They serve different purposes one lah.

Kit lens is convenient for normal casual shooting. But when comes to model shooting or if you want the bokeh effect, thats where 50mm comes in handy smile.gif

For me the D90 ori grip also so so feel, that's why I bought the 3rd party  tongue.gif , fr the MB-D11 i expect it to be around the same as D7000 body(Which is less solid than a D300 but better then D90) which in other words means that it won't feel as solid as MB-D10  whistling.gif

Why expect so much sweat.gif
Wait until you try it then only give feedback lah. And don't expect it to be more solid than MB-D10 lo. It's cheaper by few hundreds. sweat.gif

There is a limit to what a f/2.8 lens can do. There is a limit to what an f/1.4 can do, or even an f/1. Going below 0EV and even an f/1 lens and ISO 102400 on a D3s can't save you. The best solution is always to look for light, not equipment.

Current version is 24-70 f/2.8G.

Apparently not obvious enough, for strange reasons everyone is obsessing over higher and higher ISOs and wider and wider apertures.

Of course people obsess about that, if not why are at first place these lenses and camera so expensive? Even professional needs higher ISOs and wide apertures, and they are happy with it.

There's limitation to how much natural light you can get dude. Light isn't always there for you, and you can't always use artificial lights. One can say use flash, reflector blah blah, but how many can maintain the natural look of the lighting using artificial lights? It's easier and cheaper to use natural light and maybe a reflector or a flashgun, compared to carrying studio lights, battery unit or multiple flashguns plus trigger? Besides, when comes to sport photography like football, badminton or tennis, you think you can flash the players whenever you like? You will disturb their games lah doh.gif

Added: I dunno how you look at these ISO and wide aperture things, but to me they are equally important compared to seeking for light source. If these people's pocket allows them to spend, why not just let them? rolleyes.gif

Good for price and performance ratio, very light to carry around and easy to get nice result if you know the basics of photography to go with smile.gif

lol no la...just joking only...=P it still serve me well...

hey edward, im really sorry for ur lost, if im not mistaken, ur cam was being snatched by someone rite?? sometimes i will feel worried about it when i put my cam in my car boot, feels like someone stare and mark me when i put it in the boot... just got a bad feeling for it....
*
Yeap, got snatched away quite some time ago already. My mistake for being careless for walking alone late at night sad.gif
Since then I never use sling camera bag already. Use normal cheap backpack is still the best. Put some tower to act as shock absorbing pad. Do not leave camera bag or laptop bag in car boot man. Even if just for a short while. By using battery detector, they will know you have battery running device in your car boot. rclxub.gif

Thanks a lot for your condolences. icon_rolleyes.gif

QUOTE(adriancs @ Nov 27 2010, 12:16 AM)
I totally agree with you on the limits. Thats why I said look for it. Its not obvious everytime where it is. A lighted corridor is light. A passing car is light. Streetlight and neon signs give very interesting light. In that tiny 5 or 10 percent of time you really cant find it, is a blurry noisy picture that hard to accept? Surely in that situation technical finesse is second fiddle to just capturing the moment? Contrast that with thousands spent, just for readiness in that tiny 10% chance situations. But still even then surely one cannot expect equipment and lenses to somehow magically turn night into day, which is what troubles me to see happening.

As for sports, i generally find it to be quite well lit, a moderately up to date body with mid range f/1.8 prime would be more than sufficient. A tennis court, basketball court or even football at night is more well lit than a restaurant interior. Indoor games do not have a no flash rule, afaik.

As for affordability, it would appear to me that many here cant, or is sacrificing a great deal just to afford the equipment. Some are on parents tabs, some selling phones to buy lenses, some sacrificing a whole years savings, taking loans and instalments, and so on. Instead of encouraging them on, i would instead like to show them that there are many other ways that do not include spending their hard earned, hard saved money. I can, now, afford comfortably any lens I'd like to own, and I do, but I have been down that road of sacrificing dinner for lenses, and it is in my view, a very much unnecessary pain.

This statement clears some misunderstanding earlier. Sorry notworthy.gif

Apology accepted, though none needed. This is a discussion and everyone is allowed their views, and seek clarification on others.

And sorry for your loss. I use padded pouches and put my gear in environmentally friendly reusable shopping bags. Rarely do I use a camera bag anymore. Nobody wants to snatch groceries...

Feel bad for misunderstands you at first place, so apology is to make myself feel better also one. laugh.gif
