Ok...... Thanks for comment......

BTW, is it still worth getting the D700 or just stick with D600......?

imo...d700 vs d600 is about same consideration as say d3s vs d800.
comes down to speed vs mp...and if u got good lenses our not.

Not bad.

if the image quality is same with 70-200 f4 then i rather get this one than the 70-200 f4, but that's when i got the money la

Going to shoot a singing event tomorrow........ Any advise/settings that may be useful for this event......?

from my experience and my liking, use large aperture tele lenses, one uwa enough edi uwa to capture to whole event, large aperture mid/tele lenses to capture the artist one the stage.

i personally love -

14-24
85 1.4
135 f2

Besides that, what about the settings......?

There are no specific settings. Trial and error

You have a flash? If no then pray there a follow spotlight to follow the artist

No flash............. Still funding for one......

BTW, thanks all for comments.............

good answer from gnome

see la if the singing requires chris brown's kind of dancing, the high shutter speed, if no, then lower shud be okay

i personally dont like to use flash on concerts.

this looks pretty interesting ~

Me too but sometimes you'll need flash for fill in, especially if theres backlighting or shadows under the eyes

you may want to use the widest aperture available for your lens if its a solo and if you want to capture everyone you can start from f4 and above as experiment
125th shutter for those bands that dont move alot just experiment around like what everyone says

there is an unwritten rule for concert taking which is similar to portrait taking.
cutting off the instruments head is like cutting off the models hands.

What type of filters will u recommend for landscape and events such as football etc...........?

for sports events no need filters. use lens hood and ok edi

if landscape, an ND filter would be good.

if white spotlight then perfect, if red colour spotlight or other color then gone case

landscape can use gradient filter, ND filter, polarize filter and CPL filter to allow the camera to capture maximum dynamic range of land and sky

sport event you dont need filter also can, maybe UV filter is you dont want your lens to get dirty

Doesnt have time to recompose since they move around the stage alot...unless you're shooting a static concert

Thanks all for the replies but what is the difference between CPL, polarize and ND filters..........? Sorry for noobie question.........
