Must control the gearlust dude ... anything u think cannot be achieve by ur 550D? I tot it can do wonders. brows.gif
What are u looking for in m43, other than it's just smaller and looks better in rangefinder design? tongue.gif

Errr...550D don't look good with a suit and the advert sux'ed compared with these nice ones.


and the whole series. It's all in youtube.



And honorable mention to the non-M43 but incredibly effective product placement/subtle cyanide level poisoning.

So u are getting it bcoz of the looks ? Which you prefer E-PLx or GFx brows.gif

So far not justifiable yet mar tongue.gif

I like the PEN's but with the GF's speed. E-PL1 felt very slow.. the shot to shot time... probably the low reso screen, the tacky lens and lack of dials adds to that rather rudimentary feel.

Told you its no match for Oly color.

i think about 1k+...a sifu from this thread told me that the panasonic 20mm is RM300 more compared to the m.zuiko.
go get this bro!!get silver wink.gif
if buy for a girl then white hehe...just my 2 cents
*
If the zuiko already 1K and since panasonic has no lens warranty in Malaysia... why not just buy from the 20mm f1.7 from overseas instead. It's only ~RM1K

yeah gogo is rite..

when IS is turn on there will be moving internal parts in your camera that moves,,,and you would not want it to move when u are on a tripod..

if you got mirror lockup function turn it on to further reduce any vibration from your camera...(if u use oly slr)

long shutter speed at night,,just go with the lowest iso...and yeah turn on noise reduction too...noise reduction is different from noise filter (applicable for olympus camera only)
*
This is the bengang part.. how come (not aware about others) Canon for instance.... don't make MLU available as a shortcut. Have to dig so deep into it.

QUOTE(shauyan @ Jan 27 2011, 03:05 PM)
Using P&S for so many years. Only now have to play around with aperture and shutter. Still a long way to go before get a dslr. Thanks for explanation and tips.
*
As the other folks explained... the SOP on tripod... base ISO, aperture sekucup rasa (lens dependant... @f8 or whichever sharpest to cover fore and background.. though M43 dof is quite big so that's less of a problem), MLU if available, Turn off stabilization, use remote cord or use timer instead of pressing shutter button and personal preference is usually I dial in a bit of -EV for more contrastly look.

Oh.. and for the Victoria Peak Tram pic.. since you're metering outside.. the tram and white walled house.. can also use lower ISO. For GF1.. even though I don't have one (my collegues constantly poison me with his).. Try to keep ISO low for cleaner images if shooting jpeg.

as expected sniper will reply with NEX...  as m43 fanboy in m43 thread, NEX sucks..
Panasonic advert better than Sony because we have connection with Hebe... but who
the hell is Keiko?

Bleh... the Keiko advert has a better soundtrack therefore the NEX must be a superior camera nod.gif

edit: And Hebe clearly are not using proper fireworks shooting technique ...kakakakkaka
