I think they should have a small studio there because the lighting at the centre is very bad for testing ><

Purposely made the lighting sucky so that you will feel discouraged from molesting their gears long long. tongue.gif

At least there's a window nearby. Try Nikon KLCC. Totally enclosed and tungsten light is your only friend.

I'm not a flash expert or anything, but does flash flags or Demb diffusers those kind of things really help? Or back to proper flash techniques? Let's say you are in the worst case scenario -- Little bit ambient light, super high ceiling even if got SB-1000 also no use? Or play with the flash creatively?

Sifu(s) i need suggestion for capturing portrait picture as tomorrow Fahrenheit 88 got some online game company event and some cosplayer(based on game) will be thr. I'm using d5100 with kit lens (will be using aperture priority f/3.5), should i use af-c focus mode with auto area af? and if full body portrait do i focus middle of body or the eyes? please enlighten me biggrin.gif

Use AF-S focusing method, set you AF point at their eyes so that they look sharp in their eyes. Try to focus on their eyes if possible.

Should be sharp enough. Step down to smaller aperture if needed.

This was shot at f/2.8 and focused on the eyes.

QUOTE(vearn27 @ Jul 1 2011, 02:28 PM)
Actually, what are the key differences between FX and DX beside the crop factor and focus points?

For example:

17-55 f/2.8 (25.5-85.5 after multiply with factor) on D7000/D300s VS 24-70 f/2.8 on D700.

Is there really significant difference on the photo quality output of the combination above?

I heard people say ISO performance will be better because of the larger sensor size.

Correct me if I'm wrong. notworthy.gif

i heard my friend said, ya. just like geekster said ISO performance will be a lot better because larger sensor size.

larger sensor size, lower noise will be produced because the sensor allow more light absorb compare to crop factor.
beside that, have more control is default setting for the nikon marketing la...and burst shot and focus point also more than mid range to make them expensive haha  laugh.gif

Forget to mention: FX bodies are usually built for tough, D3s dropped from the motorcycle, getting run over still can survive the shooting for the next few hours of Le Tour de Langkawi. thumbup.gif

I think FX bodies doesn't necessarily mean the "de facto" standard for professional standards. As DX bodies get better, like the D7000, sometimes it is quite useful to double as a so-called 1.5x "teleconverter" for telephoto lenses, so in the end you will get more reach with it. smile.gif

Just my 2 cents lar.
