From my experience using my friends D7000 in cosplay event and sports I feel I have more control due to many Af points which helps in tracking subject help alot and u're able to burst picture at 6fps, This are some key features not included in my humble D5100 which is good for tight situations.

As far as Canon 60D (which my girl is using) it perform well at outdoor portrait, combo-ed with 50mm or 85mm lens (maybe i havent set a proper in camera settings which my picture ends up dull) but when it come to indoor, dark area or low light, Nikon's iso performance can beat it anytime smile.gif, less Af points and the menu is not user friendly

Being using my D5100 for a while now, mainly on portrait and video. I would say getting the right lens is important as I have friend using D3000 with 50mm f/1.8G lens and his picture are able to match with mine(in controlled environment). I would say if u plan to go full frame in the future get d5100 or canon60d and invest on lens. If u plan to make this as a long term hobby and don't plan to upgrade dslr body i recommend getting d7000.

Do get opinion from others too as I'm still learning photography and the gears with it

D5100 also, agreed with you there,

To ikki9394,

Unless u want a light body or love to capture video, else, if budget allow, go for D7000, D5100 produce roughly the same picture quality as D7000 due to the same sensor, but with lesser ergonomic, lesser AF points as what Calvin mentioned.

And i agreed about the lens too, 50mm f/1.8G lens is definitely a good addition to D5100.

If you're new to DSLR, can opt for D5100 or D7000, depends to your budget or needs, but if you're not new, maybe you wanna wait for new launch by end of this month then only decide.

Kenrockwell suggest budget dream team dx lens:

10-24mm wide angle
18-55mm kit lens
55-200mm zoom lens
35mm prime lens

While my dream team lens:

10-24mm wide angle
24-70mm zoom lens
70-200mm zoom lens
35 / 50mm prime lens

A dream is a dream, probably only able to achieve my dream within a dream in the distant dreamland.


Added on August 11, 2011, 1:07 pmNext buy - Wide angle lens..... Hope Nikon come out with a new one. hahaha

my hoya CPL is just the normal one, around RM100.
i dont use it anymore cos i got no AF lens with 52mm filter anymore tongue.gif

maybe later i buy a 77mm one, but still will be the normal one, maybe kenko.

for me, i dont use CPL often so just get a normal one from a trusted brand is good enough ok already...no need take out more money for fancy hardened glass etc.

E.g. this one, http://shashinki.com/shop/hoya-hardened-gl...ter-p-5408.html

can i just put it on my lens and remain it that way?

Based from my point of view, he is more like asking why get 50mm single focal length lens when it's already covered by 18-55mm biggrin.gif


I understand the same from Eugene comment.

Q1, If i wanna get Tian ya filter, i get the followings? What else i miss? and Is it correct combination of adapter and filter holder?

Tian Ya TY26 Filter Adapter Ring - 58mm (Cokin P Series Compatible)
Tian Ya TY28 Filter Holder (Cokin P Series Compatible)
Tian Ya TYCPL Circular Polarizing Filter (Cokin P Series Compatible)

Sunset?

2) I need to put the adapter ring to my lens, then filter holder then only put in filter right?

3) The Circular Polarizing Filter is round round de, where to put, not like those Square filter slot in?

4) My only other lens is the kit lens 18-55mm, so i just need to get this: Tian Ya TY26 Filter Adapter Ring - 52mm (Cokin P Series Compatible)?

Appreciate sifu to help and feedback.

Thanks.

Agreed with lwliam, keep the kit lens, 50mm seems versatile enough for me. I seldom using the kit lens now, but prefer to keep it as backup.

Will probably get a wide angle for usage.

Frankly, i am actually starting to be in love with D5100 now biggrin.gif Though compacts have its winning size but I did trust a DSLR for RAW and high ISO. 35mm is good enough for your future participation of company trip friendly to the weight, size and fun to shoot candids too biggrin.gif

Its small and compact, nothing will go wrong with d5100.

and then ya i better ask that lame question again to make sure no regret of a girl holding slightly big D5100  tongue.gif

D5100 is the second compact dslr in line after D3100, it is just slightly bigger than the D3100, and hold way better performance, imo, it is well suited for girl too. Although i see no wrong why guy cant hold d5100, its light and compact very suitable for traveling light.

ya just make it simple, depends on your camera, if your camera is DX E.g. D90, D5100, D7000, then whatever lens u put up = focal length x 1.5

But if your camera is FX, then whatever lens u put up = focal length x 1, in another words, remain the same.

Things will get even more complicated when Nikon new Mirrorless or whatever it call with small sensor, which is 2.5x if my memory serve me right.

depending on which lens you get, some lenses would still be valuable even if a replacement comes out. like the 14-24mm, one heck of a lens. if you need to use a lens now, buy it. if you wait for the newest lenses, you'd probably not buy any lens as new lenses will come every few months.

Ya i get what u mean. its not pokemon, cant have them all, just need to choose wisely based on what i need, probably need a wide angle and medium range zoom.

By all means, gonna wait until this Sept announcement and see if there's any new lens
