QUOTE(joscmh90 @ Jul 14 2011, 10:02 AM) Nope , actli he's new with DSLR ; he meant by event is probably ; just any small (normal) events for example : prize giving awards to church camps events. He said would be troublesome if there's so many people and he is sitting at the back. Is he asking for a DSLR? If not then maybe you could recommend high end compact camera to your father. The likes of Canon G12, Nikon P700, and EVIL cameras such as Panasonic GF2, perform very well too. I told him ; should walk in-front but he insisted on zoom. So i guess , he really wanted the zoom thingy. haha At first ; the budget set is below RM3000 ; but for the zoom lens he said that RM3.2-3.3 should be fine ( which is without the kit lenses ). So i wonder if there's any better alternative , or is this worth it ? Also , for the UV filter...any advice ? as in how to check whether good quality and so forth ?  |

QUOTE(kEazYc @ Jul 14 2011, 02:28 AM) D7000 body it self is about RM2990, from what i heard from my friend who's into photography, with kit lens 18-105mm i think should be around RM3900? 2 weeks ago Foto Selangor quote same price with same goodies as u've mentioned + tripod.But i got a quote of RM4200 which consist of D7000 + 18-105mm + 50mm f1.8d, with 8GB SD Card and Bag. I recall somebody here told that one shop at Kotaraya can give better price than that. |

Today i tried the Sigma 50mm 1.4 EX HSM on my d7000...
everything looks great on the view finder... I dont know if its too soft or not but it couldnt focus on live view which was pretty dissapointing for a rm3k lens =.=" tomorrow ill try to call sigma malaysia and ask if this issue could be fix by doing the lens calibration |

I called the guy he say rm765, should be ok right the price? anything i should look into before buying? Do some simple focus test, make sure no front or back focus issue; Shoot wide open and at close distance, hold camera very steady or put on table. You can shoot battery, the box cover (put like 45 degrees and shoot the word in the middle), etc. You can google focus chart for more accurate test if you want to go the the extreme, or you can google to understand more on how these test were done. |
