Agito, I need some advice please, and I know you're the person to ask. smile.gif

I bought a Nikon D60 a couple of years ago for my first "nice" but beginner's camera.
It came with two lenses. One is (I'm guessing, I may be slightly off) 18-55, the other is 55-200 (or close to that).
I'd like to know first if you recommend having different lenses with different purposes or, if you prefer to have one lens that can do it all?
I've been thinking of getting a lens to replace my two, one that would go from like 15(?)-300 or so.
Can you recommend a lens that is good quality (not cheap junk that will easily break or stop working after a short time), but also not crazy expensive?
I know you guys have and use your cameras so it would be nice to have some advice on what would be best.

If it matters, I mostly take pictures of:
Flowers
People
Scenery (bridges, mountains, trees, etc)
Pets
And other stuff like that. Not sure if that'll matter but figured it couldn't hurt to give you an idea.

Thanks bud. smile.gif


sifus,
so what lens suit that? biggrin.gif

get a point and shoot, looking at the amount of years and ur fren still hasnt known anything about dslr, i guess a PnS suits him best. try those superzooms from canon, they'll work fine for your friend.

some said filter is protect your lens some said this some said that...

1) someone said UV filter protect from sand too, depend on you haha...if you bring DSLR to beach, your lens sure got sand blow in one lor
2) some one said the lens got the UV coat, but once you use longer the coat will worn off, so better get a UV filter.
3) sometimes you not careful whack your lens with corner of table, the filter is the first one to crack/ block a bit.
4) some UV filter does affect image quality a lot
so depends on you. XD

I have a D70 too, yes the LCD size is very small. Force me to learn all the skills without much help from LCD. Very suffer because when bring back for post processing then realize picture is blur etc etc. This forces me to take pictures more carefully and i got to know my camera much better.  Nowadays after i upgrade did not really depend on the LCD.
I still keep the D70 with a 50mm, carries it to wherever i go.

in before i need fix my eyes first sweat.gif
i think my eyesight get more worst, so cant depend a lot in view finder for sharpness/ manual focus... i had to depend on auto focus much more haha sweat.gif

Hello everybody. I am new here. Just bought a D5100. I had took some pictures with M mode. However I am still not familiar with the setting between aperture and shutter speed. What I have done was zoom in/out and took pictures based on the "brightness line" which the indicator remain around 0. Also still unable to control the focus points and etc. sad.gif

Sometimes when taking pictures at low light environment or maybe the object was moving, the shutter speed will be very slow and the object appears in my picture will be ery blur.

Is there any guidance for a newbie like me? Thanks ya.

then you know the "relationship" about the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO? hmm.gif

I was told the D700 price will go up soon. It will not be at RM6000 already, reason due to SB900 drop price.

D700 promotion was D700 + 50mm + SB900... so basically SB900 slashed about 200 or was it 300, therefore D700 price will go up instead. Plus stock is very limited at the moment, so if you get a good deal, grab it. Else wait for the replacement, prepare at least 8.5k for the replacement.

8.5k ? shocking.gif

okay boss.... body only?

Well, such level of bodies don't usually come bundled with lens.
It is just a rough estimation comparing to D700's launch price. You can't expect the D800 to be priced at the current RM6000 of D700 right?  sweat.gif
Main reason people use DSLR is for the optical viewfinder... to be frank, I rarely use my live view. Used once or twice, that is also for framing for landscape since LV has 100% coverage. If I'm using D3s or something, I don't think I will even be touching on the LV.
Top of the range, Italia? tongue.gif

Somehow I feel D7000's AF advantage over the D90 is more cross sensors, and better coverage. But the non cross sensor still perform as bad as D90's non cross sensor. The same goes to my D700's 51AF, the non cross sensors isn't good.

Well... if the D800 has better coverage of cross sensor... I'm in for upgrade xD.

okay, boss
how about when you put your DSLR on floor? low until cant lying on floor that one.... XD
then had to rely on Live view right? or when not enough tall, you had to rely on Live view also right? unsure.gif
that's why i ask that XDDD
