Is it 50mm 1.8G or 1.8D........? If i'm not mistaken, Nikon has a promotion for D7000 which comes with 50mm 1.8D for FREE........!! Correct me if i'm wrong......

good morning and monday blue

i use nothing

1.8D for free
but the offer no longer there.

If not mistaken, D300s was about RM400+? I'm not too sure about this, you can try emailing Nikon for the quotation.

Roughly? 1 hour? 2 hours?

Nope, stick to filters such as Hoya HMC if you're on low budget. Go for multicoat filters.

Different LCD size I think, D7000 uses a 3" but the D600 is 3.2" like the D800.

Never did a comparison between both lossless and lossy before, but I remember seeing the lossless retaining more shadows details back then. (It was a D700 review comparing different NEF settings), should be applicable to D800 as well.

16GB would get you a little more than 320 shots on 14-bit lossless NEF based on my experience so far.

Bought my SB900 back in 2009, still using it!

Oh well, I still feel D7000 is a better purchase compared to D5100.

I'll ask around if this is available or not hehe.

btw saw this.. the 198C and 198A can't work with all LED powered up...

"Hi Pedro, the lux for the lights are as follows: AL 126: 673 lux, AL 160: 1245 lux, AL 198: 1325 lux, AL 198A @ 25 degrees: 734-913 lux, AL 198A & 60 degrees: 286-364 lux, AL 198C at 3200K: 321-407 lux, AL 198C at 5500K: 298-344 lux." The 198A/C LED isn't any close to the old normal 198 with 1325 lux!

Thanks guys.. due to my noob knowledge i decided to just stick to the kit lens of the D7000.

Question about the warranty:
Is it true the local set have 1 year local warranty for body but the kit lens is international warranty?
Whats the difference?

local = you can only claim in malaysia only.

international = anywhere there is a nikon serivce center

lasted whole morning but in reality maybe an hours worth of usage I think

buddy, my CF card is empty (as shown on my computer) and i get 200 RAW shots shown on the display.

but thanks to u, now i know that the display is lying to me tried it a while ago and i get up to 346 shots with my empty 16GB card. any reason why the display's lying tho?

thanks again man. really good to have such experienced user here

*kinda helps me in a way as most of my memory card sellers need to order the cards and it may take up to 2weeks time and i got an assignment this upcoming 17th..sigh*

Hey Tony, how have you been doing?

Well, the number displayed in the LCD display are based on estimation and usually they take the largest possible when it comes to that. A image file size depending on the details captured, the more details in an image has larger file than an image with less details (for example many blown highlights). I'm not sure with the technical details on my assumption, but relatively I think this is how it happened. I can usually shots up to 800+ RAW files on my 16GB where it displays 500+ when it's empty.

true that vearn. different factors influence image size. 16GB CF shows 603 only, but once i took around 900+ 14bit lossy compressed files if not lossy pun more then 600 haha

hey man, im doing great

thanks for the info n thinking it logically, it should do that. my canon sometimes show me even bizarre shot counts anyways, i rarely had this problem where my memory card is full with either my d700/3/3s..but with this new MP count, i seem to be abit more cautious. i shoot about 500~700 photos per event, sometimes even lesser so hopefully it should be okay for the time being. thanks again guys, its been a bunch of help!

yeah!

Same here

bought my Sb600 in 2006
still using it

What I understand also is Nikon Malaysia don't honor the 'international warranty', so becareful ;-).

The display didn't lie, the camera only estimate based on say 50MB per file but since you're shooting on lossless compression mode, files can vary from 40MB~75MB which basically throws the estimation off. I think if you shoot on uncompressed you would probably get about 200 shots?

anyone heard of this kind of lcd protector?
http://www.acmaxx.net/products_acmaxx.html

It will attach itself to the screen? I have seen another brand with this kinda of fitting on, much pricier than GGS first gen.

hong kong is selling the D800E for HKD 25,800
in case anyone wants to know

that is roughly RM 10,100+

should be correct. meaning all the shots are in the same sizes. lossless compressed is good enough for me i suppose after all, the camera's dynamic range is amazing!

i also not sure, saw it from ebay.
but to remove it seem need to use hair dyer to blow first then only able to take out.

GGS until now didnt announce for D600 yet...
