make sure the warranty is from Nikon Malaysia. its on the first page.

Hi, did you guys use the sharpening, contrast, etc in Picture Control ?
whats the best setting for getting optimum picture quality ?
found some tips here .. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp...essage=37189886

so I noticed your pics from the Genting thread.. your using Vivid with or without some post processing ?
the colors are so vibrant



d3100 have Picture Control too right ? so yeah, it should be.

guys, how do you take high picture with high shutter speed in low lighting without using flash ? I've already set the ISO to auto (up to 3200 with min SS 1/30), but it is still underexposed. in this situation, the auto ISO wont work ?

even with the lowest aperture of my kit lens (18-105), I still find it to be underexposed when shooting kids.
or do I need to grab 50mm/35mm 1.8G for this purpose (subject moving in low light condition) ?

thank you very much for the explanation, guys
during weekdays, I only got the chance to shoot indoors. only on weekends can do outing.
now I know what to get at end of this month (50mm 1.8G/SB600)

LOL when Kai tries to take pictures of those men from behind.50mm with FX body, already kinda tight. if hes using DX, sure cannot take that picture.

just had a bad experience with Foto Selangor.

so I went to the shop at 3.00pm to buy the new 50mm f/1.8G and this malay girl says that currently theres no stock. Then later comes this towkey (with glasses) confidently says that new stock will come this 'petang'. The malay girl then write down my phone number and says that she will call me if stock arrives. I asked her at what specific time will the stock arrive, she says 'dunno lar, but this petang lar'. So okay then, I will hang around at Sogo till she calls me.

waited for about 4 freakin hours till 7.00 pm and still no call, I went back to the shop and confront with this another towkey(eye problem). He says theres no such thing as restock on Friday. WTF?! the malay girl also gone already. Couldnt find the 2previous towkey so I said to him that I was told restock this 'petang'. Come on lar, 'dulu cakap lain, sekarang cakap lain'. If stock wont come on that day, at least call me lar. Now I just wasted 4 hours of my life hoping to get the lens by today.

bloody hell, their service is crap but the price is defintely nice.. 50mm f/1.8G for RM650.
Do you guys prefer buying stuff from shop with bad service & good price OR great service & albeit expensive ?

maybe I had bad luck yesterday. but its true, at first the girl mentioned RM680, then somehow the uncle intervene and says RM650 instead. maybe they miscalculate the restock time (old people habit). So yeah, uncles = discount

just bought the new 50mm f/1.8G from Foto Selangor today.. restock at noon with only 5 on the shelf. When I bought it at 4.00 pm, only got 2 left. price is at RM650. sells like 'goreng pisang'

the towkey called me at 3.00pm and kindly reserved one for me. previous bad experience was prolly 'miscommunication'.

^such big eyes.. lovely

if indoor potrait shooting like the pc fair then better get the flash..
you can already get bokehlicious pictures from your primes.

thats what I think, I also have simliar kit like you..

sb700 is kinda like upgrade version of sb600.. I recommend get tht instead.
some more info about sb700 here http://flashraw.com/review-nikon-sb-700-speedlight/

^ good for you bro.. Im targetting for that one too.. after receiving my July paycheck tho..
