And also the in-camera HDR feature  tongue.gif
Still no in-camera panorama feature yet.

Btw, anybody care to share what's the rough price range for 105mm AF-S Micro Nikkor?
*
like the fro says, its going to produce more bad HDR shots everywhere tongue.gif

105mm micro around rm2.5k used.

24fps is better for me. Movies are at 25fps. 60fps looks too smooth tongue.gif

60fps is necessary if u want to do slow motion stuff.

Haha, the fro anti HDR because he want the camera technology to acheiebe HDR (High Dynamic Range) without using multiple image technique. Our eyes have high dynamic range, but the camera is still far away, but he did mentioned the D3X have higher/better dynamic range already.

I think its a nice feature to have. I don't like to follow Steve Jobs way, its better to have than don have, not like Mr. Jobs, giving excuses when its not provided, or like Nokia giving excuses for not giving auto-focus feature on the latest smartphone, giving reasons like its faster.All crap,... provide the feature and let the user to choose whether to use it or turn off the feature, not removing or not proividing the feature then giving lame excuses =P

Anyway, HDR is really a nice feature if they provide in camera as users don't have to wait until they go back and process it. I'm not a fan of those painting like HDR, I'm more into those proper HDR, where you properly expose both the foreground and background or similar to what human eyes see, or slightly better (e.g. wearing sunglass). I've used smartphones HDR feature few times, and the result is great, becuase its able to reproduce what I see, or more clear version. The result, not necessary people may know its HDR, it may look like a normal photo or with taken with filters.

Thanks for the price, actually I'm looking for NEW unit price. seems its around RM3.1K in many places?

UV gives no difference in term of outcome.
cheapo filter will worsen the IQ by increase the amount of flare etc etc..
expensive UV filter just nice give you no reduction of IQ.

since I am poor kid  unsure.gif I can't afford paying for rm 200++ for no IQ reduction only.

it's gonna be difference case if compared to CPL, ND and the other type of filters which will give different outcome.
*
all filters give reduction in IQ, chapalang ones are very obvious.
decent filters u wont notice that much IQ reduction on normal zoom lenses...
in studios also u may not want to use filters, cos can sometimes kena flare from the studiolights.
but on telephoto lenses, filters definitely not recommended.

this guy describes the situation pretty well with filters on telephotos.

if all u going to use is short lens, then use filter la.
i doubt u will be going into studio and mess around with like more than 1000w studiolights etc anytime soon...

and if got more money, buy nikon NC filter.

I kinda fainted when he mentioned use biggest aperture + 1/320s to 'freeze' moment. He didn't even mentioned about panning or panning isn't possible?

why panning cannot? have to pan to follow the action.

Celciuz din say cannot ><"

Celciuz meant he should mention whether how to pan or can pan in this situation or not(to those who new in sport photography)
*
i guess some ppl need to explain more clearly...
cos when celciuz said this "He didn't even mentioned about panning or panning isn't possible?"...
from that the 2nd part already its like asking if panning isnt possible...which of cos it is...

and certain parts of that not too informative video clearly shows them panning already...

I know how to pan. Duh.

Just find it hilarious with that person's comment haha.

what to do, good photographers dont necessarily make good teachers...
i also dunno what he was trying to teach...more like just showing shots of water skiing only...
8min video and not much on technique / positioning around the course etc.

Eddy , i dont know whether passport sling can fit ur d90+battery grip+50mm or not ...hmm scare hard to zip the bag. You should try when u going to get ur 16-35mm. If okay , i help you buy at Penang ya =)
*
it wont fit with batt grip.
the padded section is just enough to fit d90 + 18-105 / 17-55, that kinda length.
so with 50mm attached u need the divider to place the grip seperately.

I guess you're shooting close-up with 35mm f/1.8 @ f/1.8?
If yes, the DOF is shallow, and if you move even a little the focus plane will change; To test this, you can try use AF-C, then focus on one area and hold it. If the lens re-focus, it means you moved a little and the focus plane changed. In this situation, using AF-C you might get less chance of OOF; BUt with AF-C, you can't focus and re-compose.

*
thats why its good to have more focus points.
if i got all the time in world, i put in AF-C and move the single focus point to where i want it to be.
