maybe when all little "wow" effects combined, it become a better chance in fighting in EVIL market?

With such pixel density, you need a good lens to resolve the details for sure o_O

"60fps" and "1200fps", I wonder how it affects/counts for shutter count. How does it works for these mirrorless?
It did mentioned "eletronically", I suppose it's not related to shutter count as in 1fps = 1 shutter?

OT: today saw this link in FB... i like slice of life shots.

movie mode doesnt affect shutter count la.
else DSLRs will have to have their shutters replaced every few months

For 60fps and 1200fps, it should be under LV mode. No actual shutter actuation I guess.

Not sure it's under movie mode; I remember it says capturing stills at 60fps and you can merge them for movement or something, jpeg movie.
I suppose it doesn't affect shutter count, just curious

I suppose so too, but the way they put the "60fps" and "1200fps" is kind of confusing as it doesn't put like video mode (e.g. 720p @ 60fps; instead it talk about capturing every moment as if capturing photo; I guess some sort of marketing tactic or something to make people "WOW" when others are doing 12fps. You know, people who see will say, this camera can do 60fps... although, the actual should be 10fps.

Looking for Nikon 300mm f/2.8G ED AF-S VR II and not many shops carry this lens, siapa ada contact?

the 1200fps is definitely movie mode.
the 60fps i see conflicting reports...1 say its 60fps at full resolution...another say its 60fps of 1080i stills.
if its the latter, then again its in movie mode and it just breaks up the movie into individual frames.

Shashinki boleh. Request to order.

Hi, Im a beginner in photography and I just got my D5100 a month ago. I'm looking to buy a zoom lens as my 2nd lens probably a few months from now, depending on my financial situation
So I have found two zoom lens that fit my budget which is less than 1k.

1) Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Tele Zoom Lens
2) Nikon 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G AF-S DX NIKKOR ED VR Zoom Lens

So far the only major difference is the Macro ability on the Sigma and VR on the Nikon. Beside Nikon having the focal range from 55-70. Any ideas?

100% to go for Nikon.

The Sigma "looks" like a good deal from it's definition, but you should check out the reviews as well as how it looks, see YouTube for examples. Don't be tempted by the name and macro, and it doesn't even come with "OS" (Optical Stabilization).

Usually the 'macro' term in tele lenses are just marketing words. They are about 1:4 magnification only. Not a macro per se.

If it's only these 2 you have your eyes on, I suggest you go for the nikkor. But I'm not sure if I heard of 55-300, I'd heard of 55-200, 75-300 or 70-300 though. What do I know right? I'm not a nikon user.

iinm the nikon 55-300 is now around rm950.
get that

Yea, some up to 1:3 or 1:2, but you will need to zoom to max and at minimum focusing distance; It's good for normal macro, like foods, miniatures, toys, rings, etc.

The 55-300mm is pretty new, metal mount and better image quality, good MTF chart. The 55-200 seems soft at 200mm, while this 55-300mm does better. It's lightweight, easily shakes like crazy when zoom to max, until the VR kicks in, and the focusing is slow compared to 70-300mm Nikkor. Reviews also mentioned that 70-300mm, it's soft at 300mm, but the 55-300mm does better at 300mm.

70-300VR is 'softer' at 300mm, but center sharpness is still pretty decent...so even tho its a FX lens...it goes better on DX...kinda like the 70-200VR1.

go to any dealers esp the official ones that's listed in nikon.com.my to ask them to order the 300mm.. they dont stock em cause it's not a common lens that everybody would want to buy..

Well, best to wait for a thorough review then we will know But from their spec, it appears it takes 10MP at 60fps.

As long you have the money, any of the resellers can order from Nikon Msia, but I think if you want to look for a shop that has ready stock it is unlikely.

It is one of the newer Nikkor DX lens fyi. Well, sometimes if you aren't sure about it, best to Google first. Not too much of effort, when I comment on something I am not sure I make effort to check first.

Actually, you missed my point.. The main subject was to Syncing regarding the macro function. Not that I care what lenses are from what range to what range. Hence the statement saying that I "wasn't sure". And now, I do know since Andy214 mentioned about it

You should rephrase it then. I tried reading again and again, but what I understand based on your statement was 'you are not sure if 55-300 lens existed or not'.
