AF-C only when I'm shooting moving objects. If use AF-C on stationary object I can't recompose, meaning my framing is pretty much fixed. Unless of course I can make use of the AF-ON button where I set to Shutter priority in AF-C and AF only on AF-ON. Then I can have best of 2 worlds! Some of my friends does this but I'm not used to it unfortunately.

1Dmk3 is a APS-H. 1Dsmk3 then is their flagship full frame.

But while i using af-s, d7000 only allow me to choose 1 of 39 focus point and all 39focus point auto. Is like this wan ah?

oh ya sifu wan to make clear something,,, "recompose" is a half press shutter button to lock the subject in middle (asssume i locked the AF in middle) and move the view finder to recompose the subject according the golden of rule of thirds?

and to ged rid of back light problem like that, sample below:



i need to use centered metering? (in before that i used matrix metering) or i did the correct way last time?

Focus and recompose might make you OOF abit =). Play with angle then you know.

Haha , the AF-on button in D300s, D700 above attracted me because i use AF-on one eventhough AF-ON button can be set on AEL/AFL , and like you said , i can have best of 2 worlds.

Sorry, but that one is for people who don't understand or don't know how to use their camera and shoot.

It's a technique, and as with technique, it depends how you use it. If there is problem, blame the user, not the technique.

i thought that was designed for press and hold option, i duno it can be lock at once

hmm..i just want to tell Agito about this. . Just want to tell him not just only focus and recompose , got the techniques behind.

Yes , you right. I did not say focus and recompose sure will OOF. Just want to say focus and recompose will cause OOF. Right, It depends on your techniques,how you use.

Forget the website said focus and recompose suck, that is not what i mean. I also focus and recompose one.

hi all, i plan to buy d80 2nd hand..
it is still reliable to use this SLR since now there are so many new DSLR coming..

Hehe, actually I'm referring to the article writer when I see the title. The focus re-compose technique is not something new, plus it's widely use, especially when there is only 1 focus point, or for point and shoot, or handphone camera. For DSLR, it more towards how the user use the camera; ESPECIALLY, when they start to explore big aperture lens, go nuts with wide open, and not understanding DOF, focus plane, etc. ended up blaming everything else but themselves.

why not d90?

because pf price

Buy Agito's D70, so he can fund for his next body.

next target might be full frame
but still loooonnnnngggg wayyyyy toooooo gooooo

Added on April 12, 2011, 1:49 pmi guess state your budget and let those pros suggestion better... maybe some begginer body perform better than that.

budget around 2k for 2nd hand with basic lens

i choose d80 because of AF motor inside and most of the new DSLR entry level didn't have it..(ex:3100)

any other good model??? and do d70 got in body AF motor?
