hi guys, since there are so many students here...
wanna ask this multiple choice question ..

you have a dslr that is fast approaching it's expected shutter life
ie. d300 & d700 - 150,000 exposures , d3 - 300,000 exposures.

what do you do ?

a) use until the shutter fails and then get a new shutter
b) send the camera for servicing
c) sell off the dslr at a very cheap price ( informing the buyer/shop of the SC of cos )
d ) don't use the camera anymore
e ) none of the above !

haha ezrasang, let it go and then just buy back the same camera model or wait for the shutter to fail then just fix the shutter ? i think in monetary terms it's cheaper to just fix the shutter right ?

vearn..just do it ! D7000 is a great camera ! what are you waiting for ?

i know we all love to take pictures, so of cos shutter lifespan will shoot up very fast lo ! just curious, anyone here has repaired the shutter before ? how is the performance before and after repair ?

you are right, if got newer model then upgrade !

RM1k to replace shutter, must be quoted from Nikon right ? im sure they will provide 1 year warranty after service ?RM2.8k for D3 is O.O"

I got mine kinda cheap so am happy with it. Saving to get the 70-200 vr2 but won't be so soon !!

I got it for just above rm2k. Really good deal.

so true. they dont understand why we wanna spend so much time there. then when they look at the price they will O.O"

yea we will never understand why they need so many bags & shoes !
like what my fren does, if you want to buy a new lens, then you got to buy your gf / wife a new bag first

"like" this ! iso performance is great !

im getting married next year o... jialat or not ?
that's why now cannot buy any lens d... need save money


so good...win win situation, you happy she's happy. at least your gf loves photography as well so can join you.

hehe good strategy...anyway edwardgsk, am thinking of getting either a 24-70mm f2.8 or 28-70 f2.8. which one would you recommend ? is it worth it to spend additional 2k to get the 24-70mm ?

like that then i save a few more months first then get the 24-70 instead. thanks for your advices

btw what flash did you use for this self-portrait ??

nikon the dark side so tempted to get this lens la!!

Added on March 8, 2011, 3:15 pmi recommend you to get the sb-700, if you got the extra budget then get the sb-900

50mm 1.4G ? how is the performance like ?

wow..nice soft bokeh.. i think im gonna get the 50mm 1.4G first instead of the 85mm 1.4G..no budget for that yet

If it's with kit lens then definitely is worth it. D90 is a great camera. Get the d7000 if u have the budget for it otherwise just get the d90.
