Nope, you don't loose anything with the kit lens 18-55. What you lose is D5100 is unable to auto focus with an old lens such as the 50mm f/1.8D (the nifty fifty). However, you can buy the newer 50mm which has SWM in it, D5100 no issue to auto focus with that lens.

Of course. You are able to use older lens (all Nikon lens uses f-mount), just that you need to manual focus.

I rather not use a hood ._.

Sold in components? Sweet the bracket for mine broke -.- my friend la.. last time borrow him use my D90 then the bracket slipped and someone stepped on it T_T

Doesn't look like a cut and paste... or maybe it is nicely edited lol.

Still RM6950? I remember can get about RM6800 already. Btw, I paid that price back at March 2010.

It looks like 1100D already ._.

Me too, I don't seem to use AF-On... well since I started from a D90... used to half press already. Only time I use it is when I need af-c and af-s together.

1. Set to AF-C,
2. shutter priority for shooting
3. use the shutter button to take photo

means if I'm shooting something moving and I need the AF, just need to hold AF-On... when I need to recompose, just AF-on until acquire af, let go then recompose and snap

Its just the 18-200 FX version, no big deal. Don't expect great optics out of it as an all rounder.

Well, it depends on the acceptance level of a person. Some people even treat 18-200 as a sharp lens.

But then again, I remember reading factors limiting optics in a lens. 28-300 is covers a lot of focal length, and the design and all will sacrifice IQ.

My 70200 is weather sealed, but its full of particles lol.

Its a 35 f/1.4G.

Btw, if its a cheap japan UV filter, I would ditch it. Why buy such good lens and use crappy filter which is make the quality worse? (or in some cases, bad)

LOL, I will only trust either Hoya HD or B+W XS-Pro for such lens.

Particle is on the front element, not at the rear element. Beside rear element doesn't move during focusing, its those in the middle. Particle were coming from inside itself, prone to happen to zoom lens. Friend's 70200 IS also have this.

What range are you looking at?

Its tougher than you expect, but still try to take good care of it.

I think you are referring to the rubber on the zoom ring? Its normal, especially its a demo unit where customers try out every day.

Not covered under warranty, my D90 also got peel off

Never noticed this before, thanks for the tip!

Long time no shoot... today lucky Felixia came to Melaka

So... friend brought his new toy... aka the 35mm Nanocoat to the event... sharp lens! Me likey! (Great... must refrain myself...)

It is TTL + radio which is why it is pricey, another brand is similar is the Radiopopper but it doesn't come to Malaysia as it violates certain law (radio signal thingy).

SU800 have TTL, but its optical (IR), and most other cheap triggers are radio trigger but no TTL (full manual on flash).

Err, PW has a series where by 1 unit is a transmitter/receiver by itself. Meaning if you have 3 units, and your friends have 2 more units you can borrow and have a 1+4 combination. I think the Phottix is compatible with them I guess, I don't have actual experience with this.

I am using Phottix Stratos, radio trigger without TTL.

Yeah, those are imported in. Its actually illegal to use it here, the only reason why RP don't sell it outside is because of the radio frequency rules.

Different class, DX vs FX. Although D7000 is newer generation, but the D700 is still a FX sensor.
