The D5100 isn't the same range as D7000. I don't think there will be an original battery grip.

jz thking maybe Nikon will start making BG for their entry levels
tot d reason y Nikon shifted the LCD pivot frm bottom as in D5000 to side in D5100 so to accommadate BG

IMO, basically the pivot LCD on the bottom sucks... quite hard to take self portrait hand held ( need to hold high up) and totally useless if u r using a tripod to take pic esp... dunno who came out with the Initial D5000 bottom pivot design. The new side pivot design is juz to improve their mistake not to accommodate a BG in purpose.
*
actually to make flip LCD poses problems no matter where u put d pivot
Nikon explained they shifted frm bottom to prevent obscuring of d LCD when attached to tripod
shifted to side created another problem, the positioning of buttons, which some forumers complaint
now all d buttons r on d right side, which basically ur left hand is wasted other than holding d camera when adjusting settings
no way can put d pivot on d left or on top, unless sumbody come out with a diagonal pivot position, lol

They should make the body carbon fibre so that it can be lighter, wonder why the canon 5dmark II feels so damn light ( but not so solid lar, even d300s feels more solid than that )

whats the differ between 50m and 35mm f1.8? i want to hv d7000, which lens is more suitable?
*
most important difference is d focal length(or how far is d 'zoom' if dunno focal length)
but caution as this 2 lens cant zoom, means cant zoom in zoom out

QUOTE(are_yee @ Apr 8 2011, 12:13 PM)
pm me best price boss..

Guys, is it ok i take sb400 with d7000 kit len + 50mm f1.8? is it good combination?


Added on April 8, 2011, 12:14 pm
Im totally agree.. have decided also to take d7000 this weekend,huhu..  thumbup.gif

skip d sb400, u r better off using built in flash, or get Nissin Di466 instead(rm450-550)

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:

not suppose to be like this?
u want to choose 1of11, 1of2X, or sumthg like these issit?

ya ya my point is that...so the AE-L lock is just aim the face then shoot can already?

that time i turn to the darker wall and press n hold the AE-L to get darker exposure then turn back aim back their face.
*
supposedly u AE-L d wall oso can if d wark is dark hmm.gif
u set ur AE-L button to 'press and hold' or 'press and lock'?
if 'press n hold' u r suppose to keep holding d AE-L button

Slower than D3s  tongue.gif

I have always wonder, why does Nikon start with ISO 200 as their base ISO. Why not 100?  laugh.gif Still can't find the proper answer till today  blush.gif
*
its d native ISO(means original non-adjusted ISO) of the sensors
Nikon's previous CMOS sensors all native ISO of 200
old CCD sensors native ISO is 100
D7000 uses new CMOS sensor which has native ISO of 100, so it has ISO 100

Oh, i didn noe coz D80, D40x, D60 lowest is 100

QUOTE(vearn27 @ Apr 18 2011, 12:05 AM)
Basically, the 1.5x crop factor is with DX. Therefore if you match:

DX body + DX lens = 1.5x crop factor (it WON'T double up like 2 times 1.5x!)
DX body + FX lens = 1.5x crop factor
FX body + DX lens = 1.5x crop factor (vignetting issue)
FX body + FX lens = no crop factor
*
Any lens on DX body nid to multiply 1.5 crop factor, any lens on FX body, wat focal length u get is wats written o d lens sweat.gif

Nikon entry levels r not designed to have BG, so dun have ori Nikon BG

QUOTE(Irbean @ Apr 18 2011, 07:45 PM)
based on the distributor's mail, D3100 and D7000 Phottix Batt Grip will arrive at Malaysia ETA on the end of this month..looking forward for that as the demand for D3100 batt grip so high rite now..


Added on April 18, 2011, 7:48 pmIncludes

    * Phottix BP-D3100 Battery Grip for Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Cameras
    * User's guide
    * Cable to connect to Nikon D3100 camera body
-taken from Shashinki

yet not sure what are the function for the cable is..like the old D3000 grip use infrared trigger, does it mean for d3100 use cable as the  trigger?
*
it works d same way as D5000 BG(im using)
since Nikon entry level bodies dun have internal pins for BG support, previously 3rd party brands use d infra red port to trigger shutter release
but starting with D5000, Nikon entry levels start to have wired-remote port, so they utilise this port to trigger shutter release, using a cable frm d BG connect to d port
