Buying second hand items guidance for noob tongue.gif

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  laugh.gif

Firstly, check the outlook for both Body and Lens, if you're happy with it, then proceed to the next stepsssss.  cool2.gif

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?  rclxub.gif
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?  hmm.gif  hmm.gif

Remember, these are based on my personal experiences, correct me if I'm wrong  notworthy.gif

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

LEXAR running on 133x which according to wikipedia, is 160mbps

Well, the card itself stated class 10. No idea how they classified it actually. hmm.gif

eh i don't think you can.
jpeg is compressed and NEF is uncompressed.

example:

jpeg = 100ml of concentrated juice to make to 1 litre of drink
NEF = 1 litre of concentrated juice to make to 1 litre of drink

so it's impossible to convert jpeg to NEF. the other way round can.
coz when you took the photo, there is only that much of information, where to create new information?

Try Capture NX and see. You can save back to .NEF

You can change WB/Hue for JPEG in LR and ACDSee, I think it is also possible in the latest CaptureNX, whoever uses CaptureNX here can help to verify?

I too have 2 bags. One is a sling and another is a backpack style biggrin.gif.

Capture NX basically can change everything like what LR or ACDSee can do wink.gif

Like what I said, it is still a JPEG inside a NEF nutshell. Basically it is still a JPEG.

Even NEF also got a few level of compression, 12-bit and 14-bit. Compressed, Lossless and Uncompressed. JPEG is only 8-bit if not mistaken, no way it could have retained all the details from a real NEF.
*
I know how NEF works la.
What I mean capture NX can change JPEG to it's original WB. Check back my post. I was referring to that. And I dump LR to Capture NX because of this. Of course I'm using a genuine copy of Capture NX2 brows.gif

And I'm telling JPEG can save to .NEF.
I didn't state which level of .NEF la. sleep.gif
Read properly before post.

QUOTE(aldosoesilo @ Mar 22 2011, 10:59 AM)
if only you know how compression work you wouldn't impress by how JPEG converted to .NEF. tongue.gif
believe me. you don't know how it work.  tongue.gif

You think I don't know huh ? whistling.gif

That is what I'm trying to say here, the information once compressed it is gone. Details is lost, there's no way you can recover it since the data is not there already :S.
