apply vaseline on the lens lor
PP on skin takes 1 minute max only. . . other cameras also need to PP the skin la for blemishes and stuff
and bulu is not even the main point. . . it's the ability to capture the details. . . fantastic camera!!! can't wait to get mine!! HAHAHA

Yeah, that looks like MF territory. Studio lighting at f/8 on the 85mm will simply feed the sensor with all the details.

I'm using 16GB Sandisk Extreme CF (60MB/s). Have two of this. Also have older 8GB Sandisk CF cards (2 of them 40MB/s Extreme IV and 1 is the 45MB/s Ducati Edition) and not to mention two or three 4GB Extreme III ones lying around.

I think the new Ultra speeds (30MB/s) is about the same as the old Extreme III if I'm not wrong.

Anyway, what used to be a lot in the D700 is back to small in the D800. sad.gif

Here's hoping prices for 128GB CF cards will drop.

Don't know how changgih your mum is but the J1 is expensive. For much cheaper and simpler, perhaps a good PnS like the Panny LX-5, Oly XZ-1 or the Canon S series is sufficiently good already.

I called to confirm the price, and they confirmed. However i find their price list quite unreasonable for all other item as well, for eg. D700 selling 9800, higher price than D800E..

Even if 8.8k were true (which I don't think so), do you think it will still be available? biggrin.gif

Hmmm, will go back and check. So far, the LCD did not show anything out of the ordinary.

actually the green tint is very subtle, as what other users described. you may want to use your other Nikon camera like D7000 or d90 or d700 etc. to compare. maybe you can try switching on the live view and focus on an object. then let us know your finding again smile.gif

5DM3 are much better especially in dealing with noise (D800 look terrible even on iso1600), but i'm glad there is terrible moire on the video for D800. . .hahaha because i'm not in video at all. . .terrible moire for video meaning the low pass filter is actually very weak and that translate to better sharpness and resolution for stills!!! Yay! XD

Glad that Nikon didn't sacrificed the stills IQ for video quality. That should be the way to go!! Well done! Haha

btw, you can buy a WIFI SDcard and your camera will have wifi cpabilities- not a big deal.

That's what Nikon is targeting now, D3200 better than D5100, then D5200 better than D7000, then D7100/7200 or D8000 take over D300s as top range semi pro Dx body

there are rumours who believe the D300s replacement to be an FX entry level, something similair to the D700 capabilities but with updated tech.
when the D800 came out, I am very sure now that the D300s replacement wiil be an FX body, else i will be eating my sdcards for dinner.....

spam pictures of me testing the wide open "bokeh" of my lenses.

all shot from the same distance and cropped to get the same size comparison..

I think I prefer the middle image because it is not as distracting as the right, but doesn't lose all background information like the left.. sometimes, too much bokeh isn't really too nice? hahaha

Warning: Large image.. because I don't know how to get the average sized picture from FB. sad.gif do tell me and I will change it to the medium sized one..

this is an individual case, no other D800 at least from ppl on forums that tested theirs had found to have the same problem of triggering.
some blame the old firmware of the speedlight of the person in the video.

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.

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

Is 1.4 really worth it? compare 1.8.

P/S: I am looking at the right lower corner black card with colour square which is just on top of the watch.
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.

I bet that you'd be very reliant on the 70-200 and would not want to give your friend to borrow. Trust me. biggrin.gif 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. sad.gif

Woow... Nikon is really pushing to the max. rclxms.gif 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.

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. tongue.gif

i think video for canon still superb...
as D800 video with high ISO kinda sucks...
and d ISO for 5dm3 is more or less on par with d3s...
jpeg if not mistaken...

i really hope nikon announce faster the D7100 and D400 soon...
really curious if D400 is like 1.2x crop sensor or even FX.

i think its highly unlikely D400 will be FX tho...then nikon wont have any prosumer DX / cropped sensor bodies in its new range.

ya, i find 35mm cacat on DX.
while everyone says the view is like 50mm, technically its not...only the field of view is...not the experience if u can call it that.
cos thru the viewfinder what u see thru it isnt the same size as u see with naked eye...afterall u are looking thru a 35mm lens and not 50mm.
but if u want to take group shots...i would wait and see how much the new 28mm 1.8G is going to be and get that instead.


Added on March 31, 2012, 3:10 pmactually, no use waiting la.
the 28mm 1.8G is FX, so wont be cheap.

for wider prime, maybe look for a used 24mm f/2.8, below RM1k.

35mm is never same as what we see, can say is few step backward of your position (wider view), while 50mm and 55mm dx is same as what we see but since it is not full frame you still need to move backward to get the actual view of what you wanted to see/capture

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.  biggrin.gif 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.  sad.gif
Woow... Nikon is really pushing to the max.  rclxms.gif 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.

I like 35mm a lot though, most of my shots were using 35mm from Friday. Going to shoot more and will be using 35mm again!

if you are gonna get both eventually, then the question now is which one will benefit you first before getting the other. My advise
get the 35mm if you are doing more general photography atm
get the 85mm if you do more portrait, headshots small groups, long distance shots.

so which one is your priority, get the lens that fulfils that priority
one more for the road, with the 35mm you can always crop, with the 85mm bokeh can't be reproduce

happpy soul searching bro! tongue.gif

p.s. 35mm f/1.4 bokeh is comparable with the 85mm.......hahaha laugh.gif

yeah creamier but cost at least a whopping 4k.. PREMIUM PRICE!
which even 35, 50, 85 could not get combined ( f1.8 ver )

i think getting the most expensive first would be like self psychology.

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

Sad to say one of our bro here has gone to MKIII sad.gif

I think you guys know it since it has been long since I posted here and he got it like last week.
Who lah? Are you also thinking of jumping?

Like they say, the grass always looks greener on the other side. Likewise, Canon shooters also think of jumping ship to Nikon.

QUOTE(Str33tBoY @ Mar 31 2012, 12:18 AM)
i think video for canon still superb...
as D800 video with high ISO kinda sucks...
and d ISO for 5dm3 is more or less on par with d3s...
jpeg if not mistaken...
check from dpreview...
As for me, I'm more interested in details. You can have the cleanest JPG/RAW but what's the use when there's no detail to work on? Nowadays PP also can get very good results with 3rd party softwares. For me, I rather have slightly "noisier" file with more details and work on it from there.

Oh, just realised that I forgot to mention the D800 samples I posted were reduced to 5DMkIII resolution to compare apples to apples. Somehow, photobucket does not do a good job of showing the details.

I did not go IMPACT on Saturday. Was around shopping and sight seeing LOL. Will be going in for round 2 today =D when you go up close with 35mm the image feels differently compared to 85 taken from further away although similar magnification. I like 35mm but need go really close...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tokina 11-16 doesn't have build in focusing motor rite? Cause D5100 doesn't have build in motor so kinda have to rely on len's focusing motor.

guys, during the putrajaya hot air ballon event i manage to capture a peculiar looking camera being held by a guy. i never seen anything like it before and the reason why i am postin git here is because it is a Nikon camera.

i managed to glimpse the rear of the camera and there was a Nikon label on it.

here is the picture of the guy and a blown up version of the camera he is using.

can anybody tell me what model is it or is it a prototype or a certain kind of adapter to make the nikon1 to take 3d pictures.

it must be the D5XX! two 42MP FX sensor combined to give you the ultimate 3D image with unseen resolution and clarity!!! what's more, if u don't like 3D, it can work as a panoramic camera in 2D mode!!! He must be the Nikon engineer designing the D5XX prototype.

there hasn't been any rumors of anything related to D7100, so would most probably not going to be in the market before May.
and, Nikon is still manufacturing the D7000, so definitely not so soon.

(using nikon lens, 50mm f1.8, 85 f1.8, 70-200 f2.8)
same as d700?
*
from my point of view as a owner of D7000, sometime u will get sharp image & sometime not, its like from 10 pictures, 3 will not accurate, but talking about speed, the focusing is extremely fast when nikon 17-55mm f2.8 pair with D300s, if pair with D7000 not as fast as D300s..

on my d300s, i'd say its about 99.9% acccurate, only 0.1% would be operator error, i.e. when i focus on my son running towards me, if i dont pan fast enough, camera will capture regardless of subject in focus,for portraits, im using a dynamic 21 point AFsetting without AF tracking on, for non moving subject its 100% accurate, i use this setting for a faster AF speed

When i switch to sports mode, -full 3D matrix, 51 points AF continous focuing, its dead accurate if it locks in a moving subject.

yeah D300s af still the best in dx lineup, use my friend D300s with fast glass, super duper fast lock on to subject even D7000 not that fast but for other thing like iso & image quality, i think D7000 is better

I like this! The vibrant and saturated colours are nice.

You might want to remove the bottom left corner distraction( clone tool/content aware tool would work best) and I'd bump up exposure and reveal more details in the shadow areas of her hair and her dress.

He's judging from the camera itself which may not be accurate, plus, there's other factors like the is it under 100% the same condition? Any under-expose or dark areas, etc?

There's already detail test done by many professional anyway, with samples for your to see and compare, plus some even take the raw file vs jpeg file to compare with D3S, and also resample to D3S size, it gets better after resampled to 12MP.

i'm not sure how the resampling reduces noise for D4 / D800.
noise should still be the same resampled, just not as obvious.


Added on April 2, 2012, 11:41 amanyway, everyones fav Dx0 has released their findings which i guess everyone knows by now.
D3s about 1/2 stop better than D4, and D4 about 1 stop better than D800.
so that should reason that D800 is just about 1 stop better than D700.

yes, rumours are that there will be a replacement by this year, maybe april like the D3200, maybe sept with the D7100, who knows......
if you can wait why not, but if you are passionate about photograp, then getting one now and go thru all the options and settings available would be a very interesting journey. E.g. my WB now i use K values based on the lighting available, most use grey card, i use my own instinct and judgement, the results can be very interesting at times smile.gif

Nikon wont spend more money to research and apply the screw driver to beginner body and past few years nikon releasing non-motor-driven lenses and it is usable on many of the beginner body like D40/60/3k 5k or so

True, that's why I didn't say reduce, hehe; I wrote better in terms of overall tongue.gif

I think what D800 excels in is the detail, really amazing.

Hi..

My camera having prob, so i sent to the nikon hq for repair.

They informed me, the prob is on my shutter and it cost me RM800++...It is quiet weird because I bought the camera only for 2 years, and only use it on my holiday (very2 rarely use). I bought the camera at Bintang Maju..

What do you thinks guys?

I'm comparing D700 and D300. The D700 is slightly faster.

Note that the spread of AF sensors on the D300 is much wider than on the FX D700. The AF sensors on the FX body is mostly centered.

Yes, at the end of the day, it's what the eye can see. If you view a D800 pic at 100%, you can see all the noise flaws at high ISO. Reduce it to D700 resolution and everything seems to be gone.

D800 1 stop better than D700? Base on your findings, it's more like 0.5 stop since D3s is 1 stop better than D700.

I know. I meant your findings from DXO's results because I cannot find a direct link to compare all of them them head to head. There's only numbers associated with them which does not say how much better they are in real world performance. I'm only adding the D3s vs D700 to continue from your deduction because it's fairly known that the D3s is 1 stop better than D700/D3.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Apr 2 2012, 07:21 PM)
ok then, so D800 and D700 should have about same noise control.
Per pixel noise when both viewed at 100% at their largest resolution, the D700 is cleaner (as with the 5DMkIII too). From what I can see, the D800 is about as good if not better than the D700 if downsized to the same resolution as the D700 (same with the 5DMkIII too).

On your camera you are able to select custom WB. Put the grey card under the same lighting you want to shoot and with the camera set to take the PRE WB shot, just click and your should be able to record the custom WB of the current scene. Look at the manual for more info.

ojtee, how to use the grey card properly? any link we can refer too?

Use AWB, use P mode, manual focus to make it oof to shoot grey card.
I'm not sure the camera reading whole frame as setting or a spot,
but i suggest you zoom until the grey card fit all ur finder and shoot it.

As per Jchue

no links, just do a general search on google

you can use a greycard for PP, i haven't done this as i prefer tweak on camera rather than PP
Take a picture of the greycard in the photo, use that setting as a base to change your WB settings on your RAW photos.

Doesn't need to be oof or in manual focus. The camera will capture anyway when you press the shutter. But making sure that the grey card fills the whole frame to capture WB, that's spot on. At the end of the day, the LCD screen must indicate GOOD for the WB to be captured properly.

i always thought grey card is just placed in the frame, and then that frame is used as a benchmark for the rest of the shots under the same lighting condition so that RAW shooters during PP will have an easy job doing WB.
for JPG shooters who want instant WB, then there are stuff like the WB lens cap like the expodisc.

Yeah, the method outlined above is done in PP only. The grey card must be captured under same lighting as your other photos. Use eye dropper and copy to other photos so that they have the same WB. Works only in RAW.

in short, grey card should not fill the whole frame.
cos then theres basically no real reference to WB with.
stuff like expodisc is what u need if u want to fill the whole frame with, as it lets in light and blends it all into a big mash of colors so the camera can get a avg reading and set the custom WB automatically.
expodisc is shit expensive tho, RM300+.
thre are cheaper ones out there from JJC, octopus etc...or do what others have done and use a pringles cap.
just that doing it that way the WB ends up on the slightly cooler side, but it gets u somewhere near where u need to be.

For JPG shooters, you can still use a grey card to capture and set as custom WB so that other JPG photos can use the custom WB. I actually don't use grey card. I press and hold the WB button until the PRE blinks and set custom WB by shooting off a white surface that is reflected under that particular lighting even though I shoot in RAW. Just like ojtee, I like to get the WB correct in camera.

Beautiful ! rclxms.gif Yes, even though you can still shoot with a fast lens, a flash is still the best to open up the shadows.

yes correct, the more advance body has PRE settings for individual storage of WB settings, this saves 1 step if you do alot of PP, and also if you take shots at the same places, its a great feature to have, if you know how to use it

stuff like the expodisc works better to get the WB correct in camera since it lets light.
shooting white surface works also, but didnt know grey card can be used in that manner since its of cos not white.

Try it yourself. Put a grey card under the a difficult lighting on a table or on the floor. Press and hold the WB button until PRE comes out. Zoom or walk towards the card till most of it is filled up in the viewfinder. Take a snap.

First day was without flash. 2nd day I thought I try it out. Turns out better but now the whole left and right arm is sore. 80-200mm + SB-800 + D800 plus shooting in potrait orientation without a battery grip... rclxub.gif

if the lighting is very consistent what u do isplace the card on table or any where, so it able to reflect the ambient light,
then just use camera to snap the grey card
if there is lighting, there will be different white balance to start with

A battery grip would help a lot though. Anyway, best traffic was Friday. Saturday was a little crowded and therefore quite difficult to get close and one-on-one.

Anyway, curious if the girls on Sunday were different from Saturday because most of them on Friday were also on Saturday.

I shoot RAW and I'm using Pocket Whibal G6 as my WB reference for PP. Tried for JPG once (using PRE WB on camera), but didn't really confident of its accuracy since my card is small. It should be accurate though as peeps at Michael Tapes tested the Whibal one by one.

Definitely, but it will add up to the weight... so pros and cons I guess. I went on Sunday, super packed! Imagine it took me 2 hours just to get to IMPACT because of the standstill jam. Then I decided to drop by on Sunday, got more images of cars and also I can shoot the girls easily... they will just pose specially for me haha! No need to wait for turn LOL. Lesson learnt, for such event always go on weekdays.

Yeap, I noticed them at the back area... where there was a Super GT car near there... those Thai DK (drift king) cars were placed. But many of them were like bringing the model away and then shooting special shots... Some sort like what I do in Msia at times haha! But overall the girls are very friendly and cooperative (majority) unlike in Msia its minority are friendly... mostly just pose for people they know.

my fren pre-ordered a D800 recently... (had a D7000 wif 18-200 b4) but dunno the difference between FX n DX until I explained it...

since so much money blown on the body, and the criteria is a light + jack of all trades lens for traveling, so my fren asked if the 28-300 is ok...

I find the dome is no good for big open space. Maybe indoors small rooms still ok, but big halls such as the IMPACT Challenger its useless and wasting too much power, no point using. Might as well shoot without flash.

not really, the dome is still throwing some light forward.
plus ur only using 35mm, so ur not that far away anyway.
if u notice alot of shots, its not just about the exposure, almost all will have some nice catch light in the eye, thats where a flash can come in handy.

Has anyone tried old Nikkor manual lenses on D800? I' m particularly interested with 55mm f2.8 AiS since it's arguably one of the Nikkor's sharpest lenses.
*
the macro one?
dont see any reason why AiS lenses wont work, as it has been working on other bodies already.

only question is whether it can resolve the high mp of the D800...guess u can be one of the first few to find out tongue.gif

Yes, it should work. I was trying to ask how the lens fair on D800's high megapixel. I hope it can handle it smile.gif

DFD pro with the diffuser in front? then 'almost' similar effect la tongue.gif
except u dont lose as much light as a diffusion dome.


Added on April 3, 2012, 3:05 pmi have the DFD classic, tho most of the time i only use the diffusion dome that comes with the flash...unless i really really need to throw more light forward.
but im also very lazy, and the dome is easier to setup tongue.gif
*
almost similar? Not for my experience, I don't like the diffusion dome effect, it's much harsher and direct, plus it tends to darken the background. Shooting with same setting, the DFD Pro way better result from my experience, especially when you can adjust the diffuser and modify it to a bigger one.

For easier setup can purchase or DIY this: http://www.abetterbouncecard.com/
Only thing can't really adjust just DFD Pro.

QUOTE(celciuz @ Apr 3 2012, 04:59 PM)
I find the dome is no good for big open space. Maybe indoors small rooms still ok, but big halls such as the IMPACT Challenger its useless and wasting too much power, no point using. Might as well shoot without flash.
*
I tried indoor small room or big room, didn't like the effect. One of the event, I saw 2 photographer, one of them using dome, flash slightly backwards instead of up or front, and another photographer using mixture of bounce and bounce card. SOOC, you can easily tell which is using the dome; In AWB, "generally", the dome will give cold tone, darker background and more hard lighting.


QUOTE(Everdying @ Apr 3 2012, 05:03 PM)
not really, the dome is still throwing some light forward.
plus ur only using 35mm, so ur not that far away anyway.
if u notice alot of shots, its not just about the exposure, almost all will have some nice catch light in the eye, thats where a flash can come in handy.

Depending on the environment, without flash and with flash (depending how it is used) can give really different outcome.

all depends how u angle the flash head with the diffusion dome on.
and darken background? perhaps if the flash is set facing head on like direct flash.

No, head up; Perhaps need to adjust settings as you're getting less reach but wider all around. I'm comparing similar settings with DFD Pro and Dome, the DFD Pro would get better ambient lighting, while the dome with the same settings will have darker background, plus the AWB will also produce cold tone.

The photographer which angle the flash head sligthy backwards, the photo I saw gives the same result just not so direct/harsh.

Just from what I've experience and seen, as usually people use diffusion dome generally, the result is always similar and you can easily tell they're using diffusion dome (SOOC short with AWB and TTL).

I think more like teasing or sarcasm? LoL, even if D800, nothing to do with need or want to edit or not.

Actually, doesn't matter commercial or for self, it's the self satisfaction and expectation. If you shoot jpeg then you have less options or flexibility to correct and apply your own processing to the photo.
JPEG is still processed, but processed by the camera using STANDARD/GENERAL or PREDEFINED processing in the camera or Nikon's proprietary processing. You can also customize slightly the processing by adjusting some parameters, but it's still applies the same for all photos, which you may not always want to.
If you want to custom and apply your own settings for EACH photo, then you shoot RAW and processed to your own preference and taste.

Think of it as cooking, you bought a raw meat; and the Camera is a standard/general device which will process the meat, it provides few selection of how you want to cook the meat and you can also find tune. For fast, you can use the pre-define setting and throw in the raw meat and let it process. So different brand device have their own predefined processing to suit different taste. So, it depends if you want to use these predefined processing or do your own processing.

You can shoot RAW, then in the camera, you can process again with different profile e.g. Standard, Portrait, Vivid, etc, which you can still adjust each profile during the processing. OR you can just process all using 1 profile; but the profile usually don't suit every settings, e.g. shooting human portrait and shooting car. So, it depends on your own satisfaction and expectation. You can be happy with the 'standard' processing result or you can feel it can be further enhance to make it better.

Anyone using d5100 here? How much frame you can burst before the buffer filled up? Mine is like less than 10 picture only with class 6 16gb sandisk sdhc

Taking long exposure shot will take a long time for it to clar the buffer before i can shot again, if 30sec shutter it will take aroound 20-25sec to clear the buffer hmm.gif

Yea NR on for Long exposure is the answer biggrin.gif Basically what the camera does, it takes 2 exposure. So the camera can identify which are hot pixels in the 1st exposure later on the camera will subtract the dark frame from the shot. Something like that smile.gif

Yea NR on for Long exposure is the answer biggrin.gif Basically what the camera does, it takes 2 exposure. So the camera can identify which are hot pixels in the 1st exposure later on the camera will subtract the dark frame from the shot. Something like that smile.gif

only affect long exposure if i off NR? it wont affect bust mode?

how about the dynamic range or dynamic lightning thingy at the menu? will it affect too?

There is 2 type NR, one is the normal NR, one more NR is "LONG EXPOSURE NOISE REDUCTION".

Your SD Card is Class 6, but what speed? The standard one is 6MB/sec. You shoot JPEG or RAW? or BOTH?

The dynamic range, affect the exposure time?

Basically lets say for a correct exposure it takes 20 secs so ur 1st exposure will be at 20 secs. Later on the camera will take another exposure for another 20secs same as the 1st. thats why it takes that long..

i know what is that feature, it is called ADL lightning or something like that, i always put that in "High"

if i turned off the long exposure NR will it affect my image quality? let's say bulb mode on ISO 100, which usually has close to no noise

another problem is that my burst shutter only can burst like less than 10 frame and it started to slowdown, so if i turn off the normal noise reduction it help increase the time with the sacrifice of noisy picture on high ISO?

from the tech specs it supposed to burst 16 shots if shot on RAW ONLY hmm.gif

Adl stands for active d lighting, I don't think you know what it does so set it to auto.. Read up your manual or google wink.gif I'm replying by phone haha very sian in kampung TT

About NR I don't know if it applies to raw because isn't raw untouched? Sorry I don't really know.. But does it matter you burst till 10 frames should be quite alot! You shoot sports?

sometime stage performance dont wanna miss candid moments, so i set to bust mode

sports maybe in the future

but the long buffer in long exposure is annoying, imagine you want to take firework and it took a long time to save the picture doh.gif

Bulb mode is exposure longer than 30s; what do you mean by burst shot in bulb mode?
Bulb mode, the shutter will be open for 30 second for 1 exposure.

Long exposure even you're on ISO 100 can have noise.

If you mean normal shot burst and you shoot raw only, then I'm not sure about D5100 buffer. Can check with Calvin.
If not check if your card is genuine.

i think i solved the problem, turned off ADL and NR and the buffer is better now, especially long exposure

but burst shot on RAW only can go up to 10 frame before it start to slow down, will try on my friend's class 10 again

i dont think my class 6 is fake, but i didnt check when i buy la tongue.gif

if you read the D5100 manual, i'm sure it also states the buffer is only 16 RAW shots.
and the buffer will start to slow once it reaches anywhere near there.

also sports shooters mostly shoot jpg.
until the D4 appeared, which lets you shoot 11fps in RAW with no slowdown due to a very big buffer.

Speaking of bursting with RAW, I did a few times already at Super GT... mainly because I was shooting RAW for the RQ and JPEG for the panning shots, but most of the time I didn't notice I was on RAW for the cars until I noticed how come so little shots left LOL. It didn't slow down or rather buffer still holding up for my D700 at 8fps.

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 tongue.gif... uber bokeh even at f/2 LOL.

But overall the girls are very friendly and cooperative (majority) unlike in Msia its minority are friendly... mostly just pose for people they know.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with you on that. Despite with the language barrier, they are still very friendly and accomodating...

not really, the dome is still throwing some light forward.
plus ur only using 35mm, so ur not that far away anyway.
if u notice alot of shots, its not just about the exposure, almost all will have some nice catch light in the eye, thats where a flash can come in handy.
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.

400 to 500 sounds more like D800 NEF files. biggrin.gif 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.

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.

get a lens first

D90 kit lens use on FX how lah ? smile.gif
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......

I stopped chasing socket technology because everytime you buy a new system, it's already obsolete. Best of the best is always Intel but it's expensive. Thinking of AMD or just settle for Sandy Bridge and if I can get away with something in the middle of the pack but faster than what I have now, it should be good.

I'm currently using Capture NX2. The 64 bit version is suppose to be fast but opening and minor processing (exposure, WB etc) D800 NEFs on the Capture NX2 is damn slow. I have 6GB memory on my overclocked Q6600 and I see that it already uses 5GB plus when I process one D800 NEF. doh.gif

SSD would help but they way I see it, Capture NX2 does not trash the hardisk so much after a while. Most of the time, it's waiting for the quad core processor to finish processing.

I think the OP must answer why he chose the 24-70 in the first place...

I'm currently using Capture NX2. The 64 bit version is suppose to be fast but opening and minor processing (exposure, WB etc) D800 NEFs on the Capture NX2 is damn slow. I have 6GB memory on my overclocked Q6600 and I see that it already uses 5GB plus when I process one D800 NEF.  doh.gif

SSD would help but they way I see it, Capture NX2 does not trash the hardisk so much after a while. Most of the time, it's waiting for the quad core processor to finish processing.
I think 16GB memory should be the way to go. You sure i5/i7 enough? Overclock the 2600k? Is there any website specifically talking about PCs for post processing?
Sure it does. But will it be wide enough since now 24mm will be 36mm FOV?

*
I moved from i5 750 to i7 2600K ... and very happy with it when editing RAWs in LR3/4. Everything that you tweaked responded right away. biggrin.gif
Though i5 750 was pretty good, the more efficient i7 2600K does it better and faster. The only wait/delay is when exporting bunch of pics to .jpg after PP.

Sure can process. But you might become a tad not responsive.
Try to live with it first, if not satisfy then only upgrade your pc.

I read that LR is not so demanding on hardware. Capture NX2 is damn demanding and slow. I think I would make a switch since LR has matured somewhat. Perhaps can stretch the life of my rig a little bit more.

On smaller NEF files like D700, it's not so cacat and slow. But saving one D800 NEF under Capture NX2 after making changes to the NEF file takes about at least 20 seconds to complete. When you save, it does not do anything and then towards the last 5 seconds, writes the file to disk. It's 14 bit compressed by the way. Perhaps it's because it's compressed. I read people with uncompressed NEF files work faster. But uncompressed is like 70MB per file. sweat.gif

Hey, that's a great idea ! Great effort that you post. I do not have photos of the last two girls you posted. Anyway, I'm trying to find time to PP but since I got back, work piling more and more. sad.gif

Depends on what you use to edit. I believe LR is less demanding on hardware... Or rather more efficient to use your hardware.

Hey, you're thinking about D800 now? You work damn hard and so long for your 24-70. The D800 is 2 times more expensive. Stick with D700 lah and you will not have problems with PC hardawre.

QUOTE(shinchan^^ @ Apr 6 2012, 03:32 PM)

Most places no stock. But I think if you're willing to pay a little higher, you can get your hands on it.

Anyway, the D800 is very sensitive to lens shake. I had a hard time shooting with my non VR 80-200. Perhaps it's time to retire the old horse.

Also, I read some sites reporting that the left side of the AF sensor on the D800 is not giving correct focus especially on f/1.4 lenses. Will try and check mine.

Can you please post up a pic of your D800 rear LCD with other camera like D700, d7000 or D3S? I got my D800 last week, and it was plagued with the green tint on LCD. Now it's back to Nikon service centre. Mine also seem to suffer from bad backfocusing issue too

Nice pricing in Penang! I heard it is possible to get it at RM9350, maybe special 'regular customer' price?

But I've been wondering... Nikon stuffs in Penang always cheaper than KL... I wonder why

Wonder will they update firmware for D800, so far able to get one with cash, need to pay a friend of a friend to buy then courier back to KL, 1) dont feel like paying cash like that, 2) a bit sceptical on the few green tint problem. At least i could play my friend's D800 when he got his.

Nevertheless, i heard alot of D800 going to UK or Europe, News agency 1st in prepare for the Olympics. Next restock in Malaysia, heard 2 version, 1) Mid April 2012 and May 2012. Wonder which true.

So, maybe the best thing to do is dont do anything and wait.

9400 not KL. KL so far cheapest get quoted 9500, not feel like further nego, because just like everyone no stock.

1 shop which i knew got stock in KL. Get quoted from this L shop, 9700 at night when i call them, ask for cash term, then recall next day, another guy i guess, he insisted RM9900 non negotiable. Inform him last night get quote cheaper, he said, something as if like "not my problem".

I mean, this kind of shop. I will never step in or recomend anyone buying stuff there.

Added on April 7, 2012, 3:29 pmIm more of a hobbylist, fanboy, gadget freak, so i probably can wait some more.

My theory is:

You get better gear, friend with big boys then learn faster and improve faster.

Obviously a joke.

I suggest that you hold back for the time being until all the reported issue of D800 is settled. Look at me now, money paid already but my D800 is not with me, instead it's in Nikon service centre. now can only syok sendiri with my D7000 which I should have sold a week ago.

Hold the combination on the lens. More stable. But the lens hood looks like modified from 70-200mm f/2.8 VR.

Can you please post up a pic of your D800 rear LCD with other camera like D700, d7000 or D3S? I got my D800 last week, and it was plagued with the green tint on LCD. Now it's back to Nikon service centre. Mine also seem to suffer from bad backfocusing issue too
I believe from looking, mine's has a very slight green tint too. I'll try and post a pic. But nothing that really worries me like a back focus. How bad was yours? I did check my D800 with a 24mm f/1.4 and a 35mm f/1.4 at f/1.4 in low light conditions. Seems it does not have backfocus or focusing problems when using the left side AF as far as I can tell.

QUOTE(metsatsu @ Apr 7 2012, 08:57 AM)
nope. RM9380 smile.gif

But now it's not with me sad.gif it was sent back to the shop so they can send it to Nikon for inspection because of the yellow LCD and AF issue sad.gif
Yellow or green tint? Woow, 9380 is a very good price.

QUOTE(celciuz @ Apr 7 2012, 11:29 AM)
Best I can get is RM9500 so far... and stocks limited... Maybe I should make a trip to Penang later on to grab one xD...

I want the D800... sad.gif I went BIMS and no video feature on the D700 -->  cry.gif
9500 is not bad what... I went to Thailand not knowing a lot of features on the D800. Too new. Not used the video yet too.

The 70-200mm is a f/2.8 lens. Lets in more light than the 55-200mm.

According to Mingthein.com. He said that there are certain batch that is affected by the AF issue (well as far as those that he tested). and 8000xxx to 8001xxx are affected. Mine is also 8000xxx.

http://blog.mingthein.com/2012/04/05/and-t...ns-performance/

You might wanna read the above mentioned link. Since you have the 24mm 1.4G + D800 combo. worth testing to be sure.

hope Nikon would really sorted that out and improve their QC on the D800.
planning to get one by mid of May. Hopefully there will be adequate stocks and price would be stabilized and cheaper by then.

surprisingly from that minthein site, he says 85mm 1.4G doesnt perform as well.
i thought those issues only affected the 85mm D versions.

Nikon D800開箱麻豆~亞亞~低胸示範

繼日前在國內知名論壇MOBLIE 01上,出現「」的「無敵山(5D3) 」另類開箱文後,網路上近期也有網友po出「我要打敗5D3之Nikon D800 開箱啦!」同樣讓人目光失焦,網友不斷詢問入鏡的美女是誰?其實她叫做亞亞,是個外拍模特兒。

由於此貼文一出後,引發轉載、討論,原po為了回應網友的熱烈迴響,近日陸續「放出」更多照片,還補上3D版的照片、影片,以及體貼沒有3D螢幕的朋友,同時也擺上了HD version版的影片。

另外,原po文網友說,很多朋友詢問照片中的Model是誰,答案就是亞亞!她是一位很棒的模特兒,他還特地在貼文中,補上Model亞亞的粉絲專頁,要大家一起去按個讚為她打氣吧!

或許是因為這篇「我要打敗5D3之Nikon D800 開箱啦!」文章,成功引發討論,亞亞的臉書粉絲專頁,才開張不久,就已經有1820個網友按讚。網友稱讚亞亞「說真的,妳的膚質真是沒話說。」她回「真開心」;還有網友故意留言問「相機在那裏:)」她則說「請點圖看相機,哈哈。」也有網友直接問她可不可以約出去外拍,亞亞則回說「看時間唷!」

Nice one, then it should be the effect from ND filter used.
When you use ND, it only blocks the light but not UV, so the colour cast will captured along.
A normal ND filter will gives color cast. The color is brand dependant.

anyway really nice natural shots thumbup.gif

Not really, depending... because when I use 16-35 I only can shoot the stage + the cars, for the girls kinda pushing hard on the ISO + flash already and also no subject isolation (no bokeh!). So I usually stick with 35mm as it is more balanced, 85mm is too tele sad.gif.

I use the GGS as a replacement for the plastic cover, no point using the plastic cover as dust can get in between and potentially scratches the LCD display when there is a bump on the plastic cover. Just stick to the GGS will do smile.gif

I must add that GGS is really good, though I cracked mine when I accidentally hit it with my water bottle. Everytime my friends check out my camera they'd go 'whoaaa ur LCD is cracked!' It's just the screen protector.

and I haven't got a new one yet. lol

Yeap, GGS is good. Best part is it looks like the display itself almost like nothing is put on. Some even ask me how come I don't have any protection on it tongue.gif

I saw some shops are selling GGS at many varieties of pricing... some very cheap and some on market rate. all packaged as GGS. Is there fakes around?

as now I'm using plastic cover and I really did not thought of what you had mentioned if i accidently bumped on the plastic cover, it will hits back onto my body LCD! isK~ I'm just thinking that if bad things happened, the plastic case will go first... but tat's it.

Well, i know it depends too on how bad is the hit... i know GGS oso wont be 100% proof but having it tat way protects the LCD more than the plastic does...

may I know wat's the cost is like you got for your D700? I just do not wanna be duped in buying counterfeit as paying premium, gets a lemon...

I got mine from Yamiya if not mistaken. Goes for about RM45 I guess? Slight bump on the plastic won't affect but if its a soft bump + dirt in between, then potentially scratch the actual LCD display. I like the GGS pasted on concept as no dust can get in between.

GGS is virtually impossible to mess up sticking it on.
the sticky part is only on the edges.

see on the sensor itself if u can see lots of small little black dots on it.
if got, then those are the oil spots from the shutter mechanism.

Lens dilemma here.
Currently using D7000 + 18-105mm.

I'm looking for a walkabout lens. I mostly shoot buildings but when I'm not I almost always put the focal length @ 50mm and shoot. Most of the time I'm happy with the results.

Any suggestions? Not sure if using a prime would suit me.

the 18-105mm is already a good walkabout lens, what is that you find limiting with your current zoom?
if you need more light, the 50mm f1.8G is a good companion

Bigger aperture doesn't mean bigger f-stop.

The bigger the aperture, the smaller the f-stop.

the 18-105mm is already a good walkabout lens, what is that you find limiting with your current zoom?
if you need more light, the 50mm f1.8G is a good companion

Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 is a nice walkaround lens. I love it when borrowed from my friend, he's one is the first without motor version though biggrin.gif

see on the sensor itself if u can see lots of small little black dots on it.
if got, then those are the oil spots from the shutter mechanism.
just send it into nikon, free part replacement.

Thanks for yours reply...
Tony Stark, do you know the market price for cleaning?
Everdying, if thats the black dots, is the free part replacement with camera within warranty? mine is already not in warranty >.<

that one i dunno, have to ask nikon.
i claimed mine for free while still under warranty.

but nikon still have to look at it first before deciding if they will clean it, or replace it.
cleaning iirc is RM50 since no more warranty.

what model are you using?
I suppose you are most likely using an entry level body?
If so, the pentamirror in your body might have come loose and thus vibrates when there's movement. Pentamirror is structured by few peices of mirrors unlike pentaprism which is a huge block of glass, therefore, it might be possible one or some of the mirrors have come loose.

I've just experienced that. It was a scary moment for my family and I. After checked in at Traders Hotel Penang, we took an elevator to 15th floor. Right before I was about to enter our room, we felt the building shaking like crazy and immediately we rushed down to the nearest staircase. Running down from level 15 was no joke but I'm so grateful that we are fine. What an experience!

but that site is still the cheapest best way to do it.

That's why they say, buy a good tripod tongue.gif

I'd let the body died rather than the lens, though. I'd say you get something similar to your kit lens, prolly 70200 f2.8 if you have the money. but take note it starts from 70mm. tokina 11-16 would be good too.

The one that i recomend all Nikon

17-55 f2.8, is the king of DX, pretty expensive for new one, but second hand one around 3.3-3.5k. One lens for all

18-105 is the one lens for all. An upgrade from your 18-55 kit lens, not exactly cheap for new one, around RM900, but then second hand one, cheapest i saw Rm650.

18-200 is the travel lens that many would like, cover from wide to long focal, abit expensive around 2k for new.

All of the above will be good for traveling, (although 17-55 is very heavy to consider for travel) 17-55 is very sharp lens, while 18-105 and 18-200 is ok sharp lens.

Just look for lens with AFS in front and it will come with motor inside so you can use with your cam

I tried that a couple of times ..but kinda frustrated ...
Summore got other laptop/computers to do it also.
Hope to do it the proper way and have all other colors, contrast, brightness, etc tuned properly also.
Buy a reasonable one should be fine. Even though obsolete, my Eyeone Display 2 still serves me well. Got it in 2007.

goldfries asked me, "Why do you want to calibrate your monitor? Only you yourself are seeing if you do not do prints. Others will have to calibrate if they want to enjoy the same image quality as you do."
I find that reply funny. It's like asking why do you need perfect vision for your eyes... It's because I like to see things correctly !
