Andy214, Agito666, mind if I give opinions and facts on Sony? The SLT is more on high speed AF in video, more on that later. Normal Sony live view since its 1st LV enabled DSLR (A300) is already using the quicker phase detect AF as opposed to canon and nikon's contrast detect AF in live view, thats why you will feel that LV in your camera is slower than when using OVF. Sony uses a separate secondary sensor to feed the live image to the LCD while maintaining the light path to the PDAF sensor - as opposed to using the main sensor in your unit.
As for dSLT, because there is no mirror in the path (only a transparent piece of glass that splits 30% of light to the PDAF sensor) the video now enjoys full time PDAF as well making it blistering quick. The downside now is that it is TOO quick, making any abrupt shift of focal plane looks very sudden. Good for quick action movements and fast paced tracking. But looks totally weird in slow moving scenes. The other 'concerned' downside is that the 30% loss of light will be equivalent to about 1/3 stop, which I think is still very reasonable.

QUOTE(a.ihsan @ Sep 18 2011, 07:32 PM) I would think so. you'd lose some fair bit of resolution, but gain in cleaner images at middle to high ISOs. also the D700 has a more robust body and more AF points than the D7000. if you're planning to upgrade, I wouldn't suggest you to because you'd lose out more than you're gaining. having said that, the D700 is a capable camera, and would continue to be one for years to come. a real headache this one  I'd agree on the 'losing' part as you will be having a sudden dip in your account ledger. Coz you'd then need to invest in FF lenses instead. But what you gain is nothing the D7000 can provide. The D700 is a great machine, that one.

How to create such highlight in PS? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « [attachmentid=2442044] It looks like a lousy PP job to me. But easily done with a curves layer and a soft edged brush to mask out the unwanted parts. |

QUOTE(celciuz @ Sep 19 2011, 12:01 PM) 5 mins job on the masking maybe, or this was the intended output of the person behind the camera. Haha, hence like I said, bad PP job. Even more so if it was intended to be like that. Well unless it's meant to be made as a bad example. Then it's job well done. |

You can go under a heavy rain/snow and your gears won't get wet. Of course no guarantees should you fall into a river/sea. |

QUOTE(hidden830726 @ Sep 21 2011, 12:29 AM) Well, since im using DX, 70-200 seems to long, 17-55 just nice. Also, D5100 so small the body, with 70-200 attached, its hard to handle. That's because one is a tele another is a wide. It's just at that moment you need a wide more than a tele, so you feel that the wide is very good to use. Imagine you need to shoot a bird, which will be your 'best' lens that time? |

Let's give it 1USD:RM3, that'd be RM2700 for a V1 + 27-81mm kitlens... expensive? VERY!
