im now d7000 user, got body only from lowyat yesterday 2.9k mobile ekspress

Welcome to the club bro!

officially D5100 user as well..cant wait to be delivered on next monday so i went to pick up the package from fedex

i heard my friend said i need lens filter so there will be no dust coming in. is it true?

No such thing

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

Actually there is... When you get a filter it as as protection to the lens, dust and stuff won't get to your actual lens but instead onto your filter... So just clean your filter enough.. Furthermore if you go without a filter, dust might land on your lens and chances that you scratched our lens while cleaning is higher... just my 2 cents

I thought he meant "dust entering inside the lens"..

Actually, there IS chances of sand, more like dust actually to get INTO the lens itself. That's why ppl have weather sealed lenses. There are small entry points from the front element however small it is.

there anyone going Toys Expo at Mid Vally tomorrow?


*kiddo

Got what to shoot? Showgirl?

I dont have any UV / protective filter for my lens, which make me a bit worried too.

Should i?

No worries, leica lens does not have weather seal after dipped with water still can shoot like a boss

Does VR work in video recording? or it reduce the vibration a little?

My guess is it could've went in when you were changing lenses and just drop the lens into your bag/pouch. The lens cap is not weather sealed ma.

got mine d5100 1 weeks ago..just newbie here..need to learn alot from sifu2 lowyat

Welcome to the club D

My 1st advice; know ur camera..
Read the booklet (aka manual)..
Know the buttons and functions available;
Then, well~ shoot away!

generally yes. at least for canon lah haha

just switch the off and on button when recording , for telephoto the result is much significant

if you didnt mention what lens u used,
i also dono what lens is it
