actually its very easy to find in PJ/KL.
around RM260-280 for 77mm.
used ones i seen a couple selling for RM180-RM230 or so.

generally for sports, ppl will use 9/15/21 etc point AF on AF-C mode, depending on how many cross sensors the body has.
imagine trying to track a very fast moving object with just 1 focus point

yea cars different.
try birds

yea, like mentioned.
same with some sports also where the players move in random patterns

where got 17-55 no one sell?
search properly, i seen a few already this month.

lol, suddenly the lens back in demand again.
couple months ago got some 17-55 few months also never sell.

sure eventually come out, question is will u buy it at the price it comes at out?
i'm guessing it'll be around rm1.7k once released.

if i was u, right now just go out buy 2nd hand 85mm 1.8d, around rm1.1k.
else brand new also rm1450 only

oh, u got D5100...
then just go get the 50mm 1.8G.

longer reach for portrait, uhhh 55-300mm and stand far far back.
remember to buy walkie talkies also

buy used AF-D 180mm f/2.8, settle

why dont want nikon 70-300vr?

i never tried tamron, and not too fond of 3rd party, but i been happy with 70-300VR.
i got a 70-200VR2 now, but im still keeping the 70-300

these were with the 70-300VR.
mostly at or near 300mm.



at night, the AF speed suffers abit due to the f/5.6 at 300mm, but its still do-able if u know what ur doing...if i had a D3s then diff story

issues depends, what are u planning on using a tele for?

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

those D800 specs look weird for one reason, the max fps is 4?

the need for high fps has always been there, else bodies wont be constantly increasing in fps, so those specs just go against what has been happening.
and then D800 with only 4fps? talk about turning away a fair share of the market if they really do that.

D1 5fps.
D2h 8fps.
D2xs 5fps.
D3 9fps, 11fps with grip.
D700 8fps with grip.
D300 8fps with grip.
D7000 6fps.

but 1ds mk3 is a 3yr old technology.
the coming soon 5d mk3 which is 24mp supposedly can do 6fps.
u cant say just cos high mp, the fps cant get higher...else when D4 come out, and the fps isnt high, then how many pros u think will actually start using it especially with olympics 2012 coming round?

Added on October 4, 2011, 8:14 pmoops, mislook that part.
but was just pointing out the fact that its not logical for nikon to suddenly have a drop in fps speed with their newer flagship model, especially with big sporting events round the corner.

and how low resolution for full frame cameras?
considering the supposed D800 is already quite high, it wont be logical for a flagship model to have anything lower...considering that both D700 and D3 share the same mp count...and most likely the D800 / D4 will also share the same sensor.
D3x of cos is another story

didnt i say something about 1ds3 being 3yr old tech?
d3x is about as old also.

so wat ur trying to say is, why old processor with high mp cannot do high fps? cos its old processor?
why not wait for new processor and see what it can do?
canon already got digic 5, nikon got expeed 3 already for the v1.
who knows if there will be expeed 4 with faster processing power that will allow for higher fps?

afterall, even sony A77, translucent mirror or not, fact is it can still process 12fps on a 24mp sensor with new tech.

yea but its still doable

short bursts is one thing, how many frames in that short burst is another.
both high fps and short shutter lag go hand in hand for the pros...certain sports no matter how good the reaction time of the pros they still can't guarantee they capture the moment...thats where the high fps comes in.

actually i think if u hold out more can get lower.
i've seen a few good condition ones sold for around rm3.3-3.5k.
mine also i got for rm3.3k last yr.
