the 70-300 non-VR cannot compare to the VR version.
loses out in focus speed, sharpness etc.

Spam one for afternoon



Btw for those with calibrated monitor, do the pic look too cold?

I don't think it will be a good deal like the AF-D judging from the 50mm f/1.8D to 50mm f/1.8G kinda differences :S
Which one? 

Hi guys i'm new to DSLR here, my first DSLR camera is Nikon D3100 and i was wondering if the 18-55mm lens good enough for Macro or not? Coz i tinker around with the apperture mode but doesn't seem to get blurry background i desired.

is this what you mean? http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/18-55-ii.htm

hopefully it'll be less than 9k. 300k yen is RM12.5k

just a rumor guys. no need to go WAHHHH over it.

those famous photogs are testing out nikon new cam for the past 2-3 months already... expect some announcement to be made

only get what you need. don't buy things just cause its new.
most of you wouldn't fully utilize the 36mp sensor anyway 

juz wanna ask.. is fps really that important, to me, i think is not really important

Agito666 why change display pic and banner? the previous one nicer~ hahaha.. btw.. like your figurine pictures.. me thinks luka is cute.. you need more of her~ so far only see a lot of your miku

yea~ stalked you edi.. hahah.. i'm the guy with the korean name.. lulz~ miku is cute too.. haha~ good PS.. you even took care of the reflections..

I think for your stuff, a new D700 is overkill. 2nd hand would be ideal.
Start investing in gold. 

hi all fellow nikonians,
i am currently in dilemma regarding issue whether to go for 50mm f/1.8g @ sb700.

my current gear were basic d90 with 18105vr

were graphic student and my budget were below rm800 atm to spend.. normally i would prefer to shoot human/portrait on daily basis.
there will be some portrait assignment coming on later, as i read prime were good for portrait and the flashgun also play important role within that category..

im leaning toward 50mm but the flashgun would also come in handy, whats your call on this guys?
help~! 

Why hard to invest? Now turun harga already but sure to pick up soon. Just in time when D800 comes out. 

that is what i think too. if they can produce a d7000 (a d90 replacement) to be better than d300s, i don't see a reason why they can't produce a d800 (d700 replacement?) to be better than the d3s. this 36mp looks more like d800x, which is the small brother of the d3x.

celciuz, nikonrumors.com said there might be 2 version of the d800. perhaps one is 36mp another is 18mp.
1/8000 second of a shutter speed is not fast enough for you?

I would not be surprised. PnS technology like face detection also incorporated already.
Yup, I missed on that one.
