QUOTE(fisherman10 @ Dec 26 2010, 01:35 PM) guys..looks like i'm heading to i-city later. just wondering, for u guys who went there before, is it like an open park where it's free for public? what else is actually there besides the lights which looks like trees? any suggested good time to go there? I thought of getting some shots during the "window period" to get the nice gradient blue sky. You need to pay RM10 for the parking. Timing wise, maybe you can try reaching there by 6? I'm not so sure about the time to get the perfect sky for your shots. Beside all those LEDs, there are still LEDs.  Just different pattern.

I thought of getting some shots during the "window period" to get the nice gradient blue sky. yeah, u need to pay RM10 as a ticket to go in... and with that you'll get one coupon for free entrance valued RM10 into one of their attraction site... it's a cold area (with cotton-fake-snow and really cold aircond) and one light safari... you can use the coupon for either one of that... once you've used the coupon, you'll need to pay to go into next attraction site @RM2 per person...

QUOTE(thomaskhling @ Dec 26 2010, 01:15 PM) sigh.... "limited company" most of the camera shop not open today!! COPAL!!!! i asked different branch different offer. i went to GreatWall studio(kuching) website it is 4649. still expensive! if i can find like RM4550 i will get instantly. ok, here is from one of the shop in kuching offer... RM4800 come with Camera+lens+bag+tripod+memory 4GB. worth????? Over KL, RM45++, does it include bag n tripod?javascript:emoticon(':hmm:') i got my friend's unit for RM4499, foc bag, 8gb memory card and a screen protector. Didn't ask for tripod because those FOC one doesn't seems durable. Few options available, a) get a deal from LYN trusted member + postage b) get a deal from Kuching shop c) ask your friend to get from KL and bring it back to you do the maths for the price calculation, see which is worth.

QUOTE(thomaskhling @ Dec 26 2010, 01:19 PM)  why i cant find that cheap in kuching with RM350 can i buy good quality tripod?? Yes, RM350 you can get better quality than those offered by shops. They usually give you those sub RM100 cheap tripod. I think put D7000 sure goyang especially when wind blow.

I think put D7000 sure goyang especially when wind blow. Urgh almost had my D90 smashed to the floor using those tripods. Lucky there's the camera strap to save the day because it wrap around the tripod head and prevent it to fall on the floor  Added on December 26, 2010, 3:07 pmQUOTE(celciuz @ Dec 26 2010, 10:58 AM) Happened to friend's D90 screen, there's tiny scratches all over. Culprit was dust trapped in between then pressure applied to the screen protector. Same thing here, too late to do anything so just I let it be But yea i do recommend if you wanna use the supplied lcd protector, put a normal screen protector beneath it to avoid the scratches This post has been edited by gnome: Dec 26 2010, 03:07 PM

QUOTE(freddy manson @ Dec 26 2010, 01:16 PM) I know.I'm just teasing.. The output of the pics won't be much different.in fact, it doesn't affect the picture.. Just effect the joy of previewing ur pics in that small LCD hehehe Anyway, my GGS is 2 months old when it suddenly cracked; maybe due to the heat (put it in my car for 2hours to get my lens checked up) *lol* I put my camera in the car boot under the hot sun for much longer time than 2 hours before, so far so good my GGS  . But I think my rubber parts would give way instead ._.

I don't bother to walk in and ask prices from those shop in Kuching. Expensive and i'm not good in bargain. Ended up get from LYN member. I used to stay in Kuching for the past 3 years and currently moved to KL to continue my studies. Good stuff can get decent price and shop around. ( My friend always ask me tumpang buy lah=.=)
