anyone here know how much the cost of repairing D80 LCD due to the dead pixel?

it is just one tiny spot on the LCD itself.

luckily it not on the sensor.

Its normal to have dead pixels on the sensor, try shooting in broad day light directly into the sun and you will kill couple of pixels in the progress I don't think there's any sensor in the world that is defect free from dead pixels.

performance wise i think +- the same..material wise original nikon is better..the rubber plastic seems to be more solid than the 3rd party's material...

hey ya nikkies..

just asking on you guys opinions la, I've had my hands on d3100 kit loaned by my friend for a day or so and ever since dslr bug starts biting. hard.

so, been searching up and downs the internet over the nikons that worth while considering includes d3100, d5000, d40, and d80.

I like d3100 but, somehow it just doesnt cut it for me. It seemed, limited. I want to do more. Tho, perhaps on the 2 day it was on loaned, I might have used maybe 70% of its full potential.

D5000 looks good on spec sheet compared to d3100. Truth be told that d3100, d5000 and d40 cant AF with lenses without motor. That sucks. I like to have a descent lenses that is able to AF (Im noob ma, cant simply manual focus one... ), besides, they are cheaper I presume?

so it  goes down to d80, spec sheet is better tho it is only 10megapix. But, hey, Im not gonna print an image of size A2 from it! Im just suka-suka photography only. What's nice is, it has focus motor in it. Yes! So, i could buy cheapo 50 1/8 lens and still can AF. Yeeha!

my question is, d80 is no longer brand new available in the market. Cuz they are already 2 years old (?). Hence the option goes to the used market. I am wondering tho, d90 is much better than d80 but the price is way off my budget. Am I doing the right choice of getting d80 at this time of the year?

thank you for reading.

The focus point on the TOP LCD just showing whether you're using single-point or multi-points mode. It's not to show where you moved your point

but personal feel dat DEMB not so good to use outdoor...

anyone traveled to winter country before? what glove is good for holding dslr without freezing fingers? XD

err that time what degree you were there?
this time i heard is like -5 in korea around febuary... so it will be freaking freezing....

i was experienced in beijing at 0 degree...i scare cold and my finger bone is hurt
