Eh celciuz, why canon user got advantage in Malaysia lah?

Err, you didn't noticed Canon Msia sponsors more events than Nikon Msia? DCIM for example... last year Super GT too, Canon had a workshop for shooting panning and also be in the track etc... Nikon? None...

But in Singapore for SIN, Nikon users have special privileges...

Once you go for Bangkok Motor Show... all the other shows in Malaysia seems dull... KLIAF... Auto Saloon..

So sad you went the other side.. Do post here often and share your knowledge biggrin.gif

I was wondering how do you get models to make a few poses for you? Do you talk to them 1st before you take the pictures or after taking 1 exposure u show some actions and hint them to make other poses? Haha Thanks!

On 2nd note, picture taken on TimetoAttack!

R8 is nice biggrin.gif. 4 of them will be racing during Super GT GT300 if you're interested, and its the LMS Ultra version too! instead of the usual R8 or R8 GT.

Super Import Night if not mistaken Nikon Singapore is one of the sponsors, so basically Nikon users got special spots while the other brands have to stand all the way at the back.

Anyone know this guy in real life ?
Literally saw him holding D800E walking around during an event in Tropicana City Mall last weekend.
But I didn't go up and talk with him about the camera.

http://www.facebook.com/hibiki.pro

anyone friend with him to tell us more about D800 ? biggrin.gif

Yeah I know him personally ever since Super GT 2010 lol. Before that only via FB... going to bug him to let me molest his D800E during Super GT 2012 drool.gif

D800 don't suck at high ISO. It's actually the best Nikon camera body for high ISO if you print or view on the LCD screen at same sizes.

The 5DMkIII is only better in terms of noise compared to the D800 when shooting JPG. When shooting RAW, the D800 is better. Again, this is comparisons when printing or viewing on the LCD screen at same sizes.
Could you quantity what "non-fast" and "fast" low light work? You mean fps?

Yes, the D700 still has it's place as an affordable FX that shoots relatively fast with a battery grip.

But comparing noise levels between the D700 and D800, I'm afraid the D700 (and to a certain extent the D3s) will loose out badly.
A used D3s only if you're using it for sports. If it's just lowlight you're looking for, the D800 is still better.
If you can just trade the fast fps you get on the D3s with the amount of dynamic range, cropability and quality of pixels you can get from the D800, it's worth it I think.
Yup, focusing on the D800 is the same as used on D4 and the D4 (as well as D800) has faster and more accurate focusing especially in low light (down to -2EV) than the D3s.
I wish I have the D800E also.  biggrin.gif
Oh my....  notworthy.gif How much did it set you back?

What are you going to use it on?  biggrin.gif
How you know he's going for the Super Gt 2012?  biggrin.gif
For better high ISO, the D800 is the one !

But then again if you predominantly shoot sports, the D4 makes more sense. Oh, the upgrade to D4 from D3s should not be for the very slightly better high ISO performance. It should be more for the better focusing performance and for the added new features.

He will be there... haha 2010, 2011 and now 2012. Except this time I'll be inside track too xD

Hahah I Would love to try! Im living around Petaling Jaya! Don't  think I'll ever get the 85mm primes because i have it in range with the 70-200! Maybe i spoke to soon! Haha

Hmm What I noticed was really bad color fringing!  icon_question.gif
Maybe all fast lens has this characteristics? Does the Nikon 35mm 1.4G Has the same issue wide open?
Yea smaller apertures for street haha not to worry about nikons low light sensors capability! Still trying to get used to the manual focus ring!

A school of thought that I've read from some website..

"You need to make decisions about depth-of-field. A common technique for the street photographer is relying on hyper-focal distance. I don’t think this is as necessary with modern auto-focus cameras, but the idea is that with a wide lens, in the 30 – 35mm range, you can set the lens to f8, if you have enough light, and set the focus at ten feet, and know that everything from approximately 6 feet to 15 feet will be in hyperfocal distance."

Were you at supergt 2011??

I maybe able to make it to the track too!  rclxms.gif We can all enjoy shooting!

Will 39 AF points different much than 51 ?
I've never use 39 af points system before, anyone?

Looks good! But indicates its a lower level than the D800... if it doesn't burst as fast as the D700 I'm most likely aiming the D800... *ops I mean 5D3*

i dont think you need 85mm if you bring 70-200mm, i believe 70-200 can give more bokeh @f2.8 from a distance hmm.gif

Only thing I dislike about 70-200, the weight... haha! Oh well, I decided on 16-35, 35 and 70-200.

I'll be on my belt system... don't wanna carry that much burden LOL. Light is best tongue.gif

Learnt my lesson during BIMS... its troublesome to change lens on my FS400AW.

Just arrived back home... err... I dun know... event looks subpar compared to BIMS2012... lol I set my standards too high for SIN... but then again, SIN seems at much lower budget since for BIMS such events the big manufacturers all put in budget for their booths.

Erm, I would say most of the local show girls there are rather new... or looks new to this motor show event line... >_< they always stick together (no confidence?) and also the poses are kinda.. o_O

the good one who know how to pose to the camera are rather rare or expensive, i only know a few that actually know how to pose themselves in front of the camera, others are just normal while some of them pose like rather defensive

even most of the girls in PC fair are new, never see them before (or i am really outdated tongue.gif)

Are you referring to local girls here, or Singapore girls?

The ones in Singapore is probably less experience than the girls here in Msia...
