Canon 5D X ? sounds nice  brows.gif 
if so, canon has been naming their product with X  quite often
the unfill warranty card tricks works even now right ?
unlike canon its a bit hard to do..

unless you really want the spilt focusing screen,
if not changing it wouldn't help much imo  smile.gif

thanks guys for ur feedback smile.gif how about, say, taking a photo of someone on stage, e.g. graduation ceremony, VIP speech... can the sp90 AF do a good job? macro is not a concern for me, just a bonus tongue.gif

F2.8 is 2 stops slower than 1.4 and 1 1/3 stops from 1.8

If lighting is good then I guess it would be alright!

Not to forget the af speed to capture moments too!

ive ask this question previously, and imo, its better to save few bucks to get VRII, no doubt at all.
aiya didnt notice. hahaha
image-wise plus minus the same, how bout focusing speed?
*
The focussing is insanely fast for the vrII

thats the most im worry about coz my hand is not tough as steel, just thinking that i must use fast shutter speed to avoid blur image with 80-200, if i can i dont want to burn all my money to buy vr1/vr2 just for VR thing..
*
Hehe but the vr helps alot for wedding and concerts etc! You can shoot at 1/10th at 70mm where the lights are dim!

i don think 4.4k vs 6.9k is a few bucks....  sweat.gif

for focus speed the new "re-released" AF-D version is still slower than the VR2 but not by much...

if gonna shoot at  low light @ 200mm... i guess VR2 is the obvious choice unless wanna carry a tripod around...

4 me personally, prefer the VR2... slowly saving up now  blush.gif

Worth the wait and savings!

Haha very true! If you want to sve up a few maybe can scout for Nikon refurbished version! I got my 16-35 f4 for rm 3k which feels like a brand new lens just that warranty is only for 90 days -.- unlike canons refurbished lens whih has 1 year warranty

do you use 3d tracking all the time ?

i've tried the 3d tracking in d700, what I says its so-so, not that nice,
but the upcoming in D4 one is awesome, and its smarter than the current generation one  brows.gif
*
I actually use it for potrait.. Because I want the af point to focus the eyes of the subject and recompose it later on instead of pressing the 4 buttons(Im a very lazy person!)

Best to use it if the color of the background of the subject is different!

3d tracking is very good if your background is uniform with single color, it will auto track the moving object within the 51 af points.
*
Agreed! but d7k is only 39 af points >.<

What camera and lens are you using??

Sounds like a cpl filter that you're looking for!

Vigenetting occurs when you use UWA lenses! So maybe get a slim version which b+w has
