16-35mm amazing lens for hand-held landscape shoot
The VR really work wonders, those who said short FL lens doesn't need VR really need to try this.
I hand held that gem in early morning with very little natural light at above iso1600 and very slow shutter speed. Super sharp all the images.

Some 'low light' handheld landscape I've done on the 16-35, its pretty good. These are taken on a moving cruise ship, VR seem to help with the vibrations too.

Indeed 16-35 good stuff. never regret getting it,

Now if i want a 85mm, 1.8g, 1.8d, or 1.4?

Is 1.4 really worth it? compare 1.8.

Nikon will soon announce the D3200 DSLR camera which will replace the current D3100. The expected specs are:

24 MP sensor
11 AF points
4 fps
ISO range: 100-6400, with hi-ISO of 12800
Improved video functionality
The Nikon D3200 will have some kind of a Wi-Fi connection that is supposed to offer few very interesting new features
Announcement in April, 2012

upcoming Nikon AF-S 28mm f/1.8G = PRICES ESTIMATED when reach our shore?

gotta hold my horses b4 buying 35mm then!

Bro, if you have D800 or can pre-order, about 9k you let me know ya =D

Is it really possible to have D800 as 9k? i mean at least for the 1st year after lanuch?

Yeah, saw that leak. Looks like a very interesting all-in-one lens if it's indeed coming.

I've not really analysed the shots one by one but I went straight to the ISO 6400 JPG for the 5DMkIII and the D800 and downloaded them. My impression is that noise wise, the Canon is cleaner but just marginally. But when it comes to details, the D800 trumps it. I also notice that the Canon is slightly sharper than from the D800. They have always been this way as far as I can remember. On a side note, one can probbaly bump the default sharpness on the D800 from 3 to 4 or 5. Anyway on the 2nd pic, I showed that with just a tiny bit of USM, you'd get it as sharp as the Canon plus get more details too.



Again, just observing from the SOOC JPG files from both cams...

I may be wrong but I think he's referring to the big flood lights on the top right corner as the SB-920.

Many thank for the confirmation and feedback. As I suspected...

I bet that you'd be very reliant on the 70-200 and would not want to give your friend to borrow. Trust me. Hard to shoot with 35mm. You need to go very near and you'll block everybody.

Anyway, photographers over there are very discipline. They take turns and are always mindful of people around them taking photos. Not like photographers here unfortunately.

Woow... Nikon is really pushing to the max. Nice to see that for once. A few years ago, Nikon was always playing catch up.

Anyway, the 28mm f/1.8 sounds interesting with a quite nice focal length.

hi guys, jz need to ask for some opinion. would you sell d5100 for d90? or go for d7000.
Due to budget issue, will you go for d90?

Go for D7k bro.
D5100 technically better than D90 just less the BG option and can't support D lens only hehe.
and D7000 is much better !

well it depends on what you want in terms of the features. http://nikonrumors.com/forum/topic.php?id=3490 read those posts, it will help you to decide

who knows all are the guys

You should try the new 85 mm 1.8G. Really value for money.

it would be great if can afford d7000.

considering... getting d7k is a smarter choice.

or you wan wait longer?

duno this year D7000 got refresh or not...

if refresh, it double the cost. on the other hand, price of d7k will drop.

Hola... so, what's the current debate recently here? Been away from the thread for so long

Sad to say one of our bro here has gone to MKIII

I think you guys know it since it has been long since I posted here and he got it like last week.

Mk3 is reali a good buy...
as it's ISO i reali damn good...
if nikon don't have d3s...
i would think to move to 5dmk3 oso...

Canon 5dmk3 tempting...

DR new video, kai compare D800 with 5dm3

I really don't see anything that is better from the 5DM3 over the D800, not a single feature nor function. I'll always be a little bias as can be seen from my display picture on the left, but even if i'm honest and being objective here, quality wise or price wise, nope, obvious choice is gonna be D800.
