Found 1 selling at RM9900

I was told D800 selling for RM9350 in Penang, could be another 'special price' for kawan only I guess.

Your pictures and the 35mm looks awesome!! Somehow I feel like getting the 35mm instead of the 24 now

It is all about preference... in terms of image quality both are excellent lens. Just see if you prefer 35mm or 24mm ;-) I have shots taken with 85mm too ... uber bokeh even at f/2 LOL.

Obviously the one i post is not a good price.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you on that. Despite with the language barrier, they are still very friendly and accomodating...

If I'm not wrong, I saw the same guy taking photos in IMPACT !

Agreed. For me, it's just a faint light thrown on the face to get some catch light in the eyes and get rid of some shadows on the face.

When shooting RAW, LR does not recognise the camera's vivid settings.

400 to 500 sounds more like D800 NEF files. 16GB CF can fit more NEF files from D700. I filled up 1201 pics in a single 16GB CF during the last F1. D800 shoots about close to 400 shots.

I need a new PC. Crawling when trying to open NEF files.

Have you tried shooting 1800 pics before?

ya is 16 raw, but mine only 10 raw and it started to slowdown, maybe because it is class 6 memory card?

That much differences compared to D700's NEF? Haven't tried opening one yet... Oh dear, more money to be spent? I was thinking to upgrade next year instead with the new socket from Intel. Intel always changing socket making me unable to upgrade

Should not start to slow down when you still have 10 in buffer... could be your lens hunting for focus? Shoot in manual focus and see if there's any differences.

Time for new desktop
Actually anything sandy bridge i5/i7 is powerful enough already.
just take 8gb ram because LR/PS eat a lot of page memory.

I want the next gen socket, mainly because buying now --> I cannot upgrade further already. If buy next gen socket can last 1 more generation LOL. This is the part I dislike about Intel, forever changing sockets!

Or should I jump ship to AMD? LOL

Love the Nano Coating ~

AMD 6 cores not even better than core i7 quad core
But yeh..dont' know what Intel is doing, keep changing sockets.

Hmm I see, interesting.
your background doesn't blown up much at the beginning despite at f/1.4

i had reason wide open for this pic but idk how to explain >.<

Hi guys,

i was just wondering to upgrade to FX body or get a nikon 24-70 2.8

Alot of ppl will say go for lens first body later... anyone can tell me why?

btw im using Nikon D90 + kit lens + 50mm 1.8D

get a lens first

D90 kit lens use on FX how lah ?
later wide end you got vignetting,
then you only can work on crop mode.

use 50 1.8D only ?
unless you really knows how to use it. for ex many street photog like to use prime like 24 28 35 50

D90 work pretty well in 24-70

Pleae give more info of your plans and thoughts, your statement is too generalised for good constructive advise from the seniors here

why do you need an FX body?
why do you need a 24-70mm?

lens first - IMHO it would have been pressumed that you have already mastered the current lenses you have, FX lens are larger, heavier, and very likely have greater resolutions, that will probably enhance any mistakes( is this a correct term to use?) you have on your current body. it will take some tme getting use to the newer lens, and when you are ready for the body upgrade, you will only need to worry about the functions of the newer camera and not the technique part.....i dunno if that makes any sense, any care to explain it in other words?

body first - you already have a basic FX lens you plan to use, your future upgrade will be a higher spec lens, and you need time to get used to the camera functions and layout - if you shoot alot of sports n high speed stuff, you will need to know the camera like the back of your palms......

wah , u guys got so many picture to edit , any place that i can download RAW file and edit it? I remember some website got weekly RAW edit, but i can't found it.
