This is NOT kopitiam ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How to differentiate AP and NIKON MALAYSIA warranty set. All Nikon Malaysia set comes with warranty card like this  The wording NIKON MALAYSIA SDN. BHD on the warranty card is the best way to identify whether it's a genuine local set.

Buying second hand items guidance for noob
 QUOTE(ezrasang @ Dec 1 2010, 10:06 AM) Nobody answer? Nevermind, I will use my experiences and tell you. So if anyone would like to add further details or do some corrections, please do so  Firstly, check the outlook for both Body and Lens, if you're happy with it, then proceed to the next stepsssss.  For the Body: 1. check the Shutter Count, the lower the SC, the better it is, just like a car's milage. Google has a clearer explanation. 2. if the Body has motor and top LCD, make sure they both work well, it's sux if the motor doesn't work, it's sux if the top LCD can't light up. 3. test the Body with various memory cards, you don't want to have error while shooting, don't you? (sometimes it's the memory card that give trouble) 4. test Continuous shoot, will the shutter jam?  5. basically you'll have to test everything, every single functions and settings of the body, like ISO, pop-up flash, the condition of hot shoe, the buttons etc etc As for the lens: 1. it's important that the rubber is still firm. 2. make sure it works on more than ONE Bodies. 3. play with aperture, the zoom if it has, play with it like a toy. 4. if the lens got dust and fungus inside, you can send it for cleaning. 5. if the contact points are dirty, gently use eraser to clean it. 6. if the lens is AF-S, make sure the motor inside is silent while auto focusing, no loud squeaky sound. what else?  Remember, these are based on my personal experiences, correct me if I'm wrong   |

Ken Rockwell facts !
Ken Rockwell is the Chuck Norris of photography Ken Rockwell's camera has similar settings to ours, except his are: P[erfect] Av[Awesome Priority Tv[Totally Awesome Priority] M[ajestic] Ken Rockwell doesn't color correct. He adjusts your world to match his. Sure, Ken Rockwell deletes a bad photo or two. Other people call these Pulitzers. Ken Rockwell doesn't adjust his DOF, he changes space-time. Circle of confusion? You might be confused. Ken Rockwell never is. Ken Rockwell doesn't wait for the light when he shoots a landscape - the light waits for him. Ken Rockwell never flips his camera in portrait position, he flips the earth Ken Rockwell ordered an L-lens from Nikon, and got one. Ken Rockwell is the only person to have photographed Jesus; unfortunately he ran out of film and had to use a piece of cloth instead. When Ken Rockwell brackets a shot, the three versions of the photo win first place in three different categories Before Nikon or Canon releases a camera they go to Ken and they ask him to test them, the best cameras get a Nikon sticker and the less good get a Canon sticker Once Ken tested a camera, he said I cant even put Canon on this one,thats how Pentax was born Rockwellian policy isn't doublethink - Ken doesn't even need to think once Ken Rockwell doesn't use flash ever since the Nagasaki incident. Only Ken Rockwell can take pictures of Ken Rockwell; everyone else would just get their film overexposed by the light of his genius Ken Rockwell wanted something to distract the lesser photographers, and lo, there were ducks. Ken Rockwell is the only one who can take self-portraits of you Ken Rockwell's nudes were fully clothed at the time of exposure Ken Rockwell once designed a zoom lens. You know it as the Hubble SpaceTelescope. When Ken unpacks his CF card, it already has masterpieces on it. Rockwell portraits are so lifelike, they have to pay taxes On Ken Rockwell's desktop, the Trash Icon is really a link to National Geographic Magazine Ken Rockwell spells point-and-shoot "h-a-s-s-e-l-b-l-a-d" When Ken Rockwell went digital, National Geographic nearly went out of business because he was no longer phyically discarding photos For every 10 shots that Ken Rockwell takes, 11 are keepers. Ken Rockwell's digital files consist of 0's, 1's AND 2's. Ken Rockwell never focus, everything moves into his DoF Ken Rockwell's shots are so perfect, Adobe redesigned photoshop for him: all it consists of is a close button. The term tripod was coined after his silhouette Ken Rockwell never produces awful work, only work too advanced for the viewer A certain braind of hig-end cameras was named after people noticed the quality was a lot "like a" rockwell Ken Rockwell isn't the Chuck Norris of photography; Chuck Norris is the Ken Rockwell of martial arts. Ken Rockwell never starts, he continues |
