You got too many stuff. Mine 48L only also can fit. Put some of your stuff in my dry box la.

not big enough ? O.O i got to squeeze everything in my tiny 38ex drybox ! must arrange the things properly otherwise it wont fit !

bro celciuz...
can share some close-up photo...?
coz if d space is enuf...
i think i might jz go 60L+- can liao...

I use 48L back then Upgraded to 88L and passed the 48L to my gf lo.

Can squeeze lah, but have to arrange nicely -.- a bit lazy haha!

Just get the 88L lah. I don't have any photos with me.

I got only 1body+1lens+1speedlight.

That's why 48L feels very big for me.

Sure lah... last time I was using D90 + 18105 + SB900 only.. ample of space inside haha!

Other those tiny puny prime take up very less space.

Initially felt so. afterward not anymore. well it depends on person thought and preference.
as for me I thought of having motor is an extra value where as having no built in motor just fine.
because eventually you will upgrade to AF-S lenses

thank for your reply
just compare d5100 vs 550d...its tapaw all canon eos550d, 600d, & even 60d...the only setback there only on body motor..the image quality its goes to d5100

To be honest, the only lens I have that requires the built in motor is the 50mm f/1.8D .

about the MF indicator . we need wait it keep blink or no blink just will get nice picture?

no 'LIKE' button eh like FB?

MF indicator? You mean the green dot? It has to stay lighted up indicating its in focus.

The metering...

+ ..... | ..... -

To the left mean the photo is underexposed, to the right mean the photo is overexposed. Do we need to enable or disable the metering from the option? Because I'm using A mode on D7K, sometime it appears and sometime it doesn't. However, it seems to appear all the time in M mode? Which setting to always enable it? Please do correct me if I'm wrong

yeah . when it stay up mean it is focus?

the metering only appears on M [manual] and S [shutter] priority mode..the meter is to adjust the shutter accordingly [M] or within your preferences [S].
*Correct me if im wrong

In A or P or S mode it is always metered to balance in the middle. The only time the meter appears is that the camera is not possible to balance it for you. Say for example you shoot in broad day light at f/1.4 and your shutter limit is only 1/8000s. The shutter cannot go any faster to compensate for the overexposure. Then the camera will display the metering.

Or when you use exposure compensation I think it might appear too... (don't really recall :S been using manual most of the time)

Correct, as long as it is lit up meaning it is in focus.

i read somewhere its more preferable to get 2 smaller dryboxes than 1 big one...reason cos the air circulates easier in a smaller one so maintains humidity levels better.

anyway, getting bored...

In the example of situation you given, you mean the camera couldn't go any faster than 1/8000s and couldn't adjust the aperture when shooting in A mode therefore showing up the metering?

The metering only will be displayed when adjustment is required? Please could you elaborate more the usage of the metering?

You are asking why sometimes in A mode the metering appears and sometimes not right?

I need to double check... but if I remember correctly that is the reason.
