and canon refreshed all their 300 , 400 , 500 , 600 big prime
as well as announcing 200-400 F4 with built-in 1.4x teleconverter switch

Depends on which type of 80-200mm f/2.8 you are talking about... On a crop DX sensor, perhaps that your statement is true.

But on FX, the order of sharpness wide open is as follows;

VR2 > AF-S 80-200mm f/2.8 > VR1

I would assume the AF-D version to be the least sharp.

Like this?



The photo is a little small but from what I can see, shadows are a little blocked i.e. details in the shadows are non-existent.

The 200-400 was long overdue. A lot of nature photographers switched to Nikon because at that time, the Canon had no equivalent. Andy Rouse switched from Canon to Nikon mostly because of the D3 but also because of the Nikon 200-400mm f/4.

Anyway, I believe Nikon just refreshed their 400mm, 500mm and 600mm big primes during the introduction of the D3 just in time for Beijing Olympics. Then after that, they updated the 300mm.

Anyway, I think one of the most awaited lenses to be updated with VR or AF-S motor is the 300mm f/4 and the 80-400mm zoom. Now if they can also update their 1.4x and 1.7x TCs like they did for their 2.0x TC, that would be wonderful too.

guys need help,im planning want to buy used camera(1st time) so i need advice which 1 is good for newbie like me,


D3100 or D80

I would say early 2012 would be the time replacements launched

if that works for you just let it be.
seriously you don't have to listen to everyone's comment.
because in the end what matter most is your own acceptance not the other.

I've posted this before, take a look it might give you a little bit insight.

hey guys, anyone here travel to oversea a lot ?
I wanna know if i can bring a camera bag and a hand carry bag on board the plane or i can only bring 1 bag regardless whichever one ?

i think both can la, as long as can fit in the locker ? duno last time i bring my laptop bag, inside got ipad only and i hang my D70s on my neck and go in only XD.
after that i just put my bag on my lap.

best luck bro!
yes got advice then you can improve.

no you can bring 1 camera bag + you hand carry bag, some more you can also bring 1 laptop bag.
because camera and laptop are exception.

Wow, nice....i read about it before but it was in the US air regulations. I dunno if msia got diff one or not. Thanks for the info. Now i can feel safe bringing my bag up tomorrow.

d5100 doesnt have manual control right? what's the function of shutter speed actually?

but then you had to "pour" your gadget in your bag to them to check XD..i went to Sg with plane before, the SG, changi airport is stricter than msia.

shutter speed long, allow more light go into sensor but then will create "ghost" image / after image like those super combo in Street fighter XD.
shutter speed short, will get sharper image but lower brightness, depend on situation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutter_speed

what is manual control ?
Manual mode ? why dont have ?

Shutter speed is the speed to decide how fast your shutter have to action.
Fast shutter you get subject freeze easier, slower means easier to get blur

For this image I used 2 seconds on shutter speed




--
Shutter speed priority let you gain full controlling of your desired Shutter speed value,
and let the cpu pick up the suitable aperture value to get you a balanced exposure image

here is some my noob slow shutter shot you can refer and play with

Should be fine. I always carried 1 laptop and 1 bag for my camera gears.

But lately after getting the Thinktank Airport Acceleration V2, I put my laptop together with my gears and hand carry all of them in one bag.

Anyway regardless of the type of bag, laptops should always be taken out separately for xray scanning.

Did you use a proper camera bag or you just campak all your other stuff inside a normal bag?

If it's a proper camera bag, it just goes under the xray machine. They will only ask you to open if they find something suspicious.

i use laptop bag XD.
use for undercover when go to cinema. if you got bring camera...laptop bag is good for cover that XD....
bring a pro camera bag go cinema they sure block you one XD
