cheap and simple solution (maybe)?
Print out the photos, is the result similar to the one you see on your monitor when you PP?
Maybe you monitor very bright and saturated, so your PP time you tuned it down, the print out... Eh??? Or vice versa or other conditions.

any comments from anyone? especially those with tons of experience printing photos from different places.

That's what I've been wondering, if the customers bring the phoptos for printing, and the result turn out not as expected, how to make sure for these kind of scenario? Is there some sort of standard or specifications or something like that?

Thanks!

Do you have any wide angle lens for group / family photo? Do you have external flash gun?

If you have those, then you can consider a good and affordable telephoto, like 80-200mm f/2.8.

since you have 18-105mm, means you have coverage for wide angle already.

No plans for external flash? You want for gears weddings,events, etc. Flash is a crucial gear for these events, especially if its held indoor with low lgihtings.

don't be cheapo
You only buy once, get aat least a sb600, but advice to go for sb700.
These flash gun you can twist the head and flash to the side or flash towards the ceiling to bounce the flash, it will soften the harsh flash and also lit up the environment. The effect you get, you will appreciate it a lot, and also you can use lower iso and/or faster and/or smaller aperture, lower iso will give you better image quality.

Flash can bring your photography to a whole new different level. You need to experience it to appreciate it, and compare the quality taken with and without, and how useful it is esepcially shooting in events with group shot where you need to use smaller aperture and its lowlight.

You can watch some tutorial on some basic use of external flash and see how good it is, and there's a lot of things to learn with flash photography, it's not just a flash or simple light.

No problem mate, go try it out
Nikon Centre at Berjaya, you can test lens and also flash~

They can't swim and they're not waterproof...

One Nikon One Canon

CY uses Nikon like CY (celciuz)
tz uses Canon

Pyramid? Don't, the shops are all under Fotokem. If you want to go for Fotokem, better go to Subang Parade one, or dSLR (in IT centre but also under Fotokem).
In short, try to avoid these shops, especially the one at One Utama.

I think Fotokem is pretty famous (if you google around), however, you may find some of the sales may offer some very attractive and good price and also good service. I read someone get their D7000 at Mines branch for RM3800 when it was newly launch, that was one of the lowest price around back then. But other branches have different story.
All I can say is, most of these shops, will tell you they can't give such price, and the common trick 'that's my cost price' and so on, they treat their customers as if the Customers is 3 year old small kids. In short, if anyone choose to buy from these shops, first, find out what are the price range, and set how much you're willing to go for. They're very very big company.
