Studio just bought that yungnuo led light last week for video use. The thing is quite bright for a small size lol

It comes with a remote control right? Go try do some portraiture with just that light see what's the outcome!

can test what kind of exposure u get?
i have a smaller 30 led one from some stupid brand, and with it 1m away at iso 100, f/8 its giving me 1s

The one we're using doesnt have a remote i think



There are like 4 settings iirc. Low, normal, bright and super bright

Will try to test and report back here soon

Ive used video light for prewedding shoot before at Cameron. It was my friends gear & idea. We were not using LED lights, back then still dont have yet (maybe), we use actual sony video lights which was warmer color. Had a dial to adjust the intensity. Very directional and very good results, only thing is the halogen heats up real fast and real hot. For a noob like me who didnt know much about flash or gels, it gave fantastic results.

just the 35 only. i only have 2 lenses



reporting also now use dslr? i thought they still use the big video cams... i guess i was wrong haha

Depends on the production team i guess. A full HD cam cost like 10-15k for one atleast. That is why dslr are more popular option these days. My office uses 2x5dmk2 and D7000 to cover the WIF KL 2012. Then again we didnt do full coverage, if full coverage then those big camera with dv tapes are used and non HD of course

Now we're in the process of upgrading the production machines to imac's. Heard boss gonna get a few soon *crossfinger*

D7000 definitely better. with 2.7k you can get a new D7000 body already. Give a try to D7000 and D5100 and feel the difference

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2582988 <<< see this, nice deal but too bad I have limited budget and having a D90 half year ago

so far everyone is recommending the D7000. Personally I like the D5100 better

It's smaller and lighter, easier to bring around. Flip screen is useful for overhead shooting and camwhoring (i have too few photos of myself haha). I also like the fact that all the buttons are on the right side, so you only need one hand to change settings!

focus motor depends on what lens are you actually going to buy. No point getting body with focus motor if u end up buying AF-S lenses anyway

I think the YN-160 II I'm considering has 16 levels of brightness and comes with a remote. I saw Pro Images (Shop in Melaka) selling for RM248 on FB.

Ahh, its those bulb based video light? Must have been quite hot! How long does the battery last?

I would definitely prefer the D7000 instead,

D7000 has better grip, nicer to hold. Dual commander dials for manual and aperture --> more buttons and no need to get into menu that often as compared to D5100, option to add a Nikon original battery grip, does 6fps, 100% VF coverage, and dual slot SD, and I think D7000 can do 14-bit NEF RAW which D5100 can't.

D7000 has 39 focus point..its important for bokeh shots, for wide angle shots..i can live with 3 focus point..hehe

This Yongnuo can use those big lithium ion battery too if don't want to use AA. But then again I prefer using AA since AA cheaper and I can use for my flash hehe.

I saw another brand with model CN-160, this one can stack the LED together!

Really? But I shoot at f/1.4 and I use only center AF , also can use! In fact I feel more confident using the center AF (or rather the center 15 cross sensor) than the sensors which is non cross on my D700/D800.

Guys if the shutter die then can replace rite?

So far my D300s already 70k+ haha

No, you need to scrap the entire unit.

Nah, just kidding. Of course you can change the shutter. Signs of your shutter dying is that when you shoot 1/8000s, and 1/2000s, you get same exposure.

LOL!

Oh i seee how much will it be? Haha im just curious

cant recall exactly but it lasted one the whole morning. But we dont leave it ON always, jst when we needed it. Im also thinking of getting some LED ones as Im going into HDslr video.

what's the recent price for nikon d3200 and d5200 full set package?

Would this be considered torture? haha

If you dun know the street price, do some research at garage sale section la... if you need value for money stuff, must not be lazy.. if you lazy, just goto retail shop and buy, better service but u pay more la...

If he is yr fren, so I can assume he did not sell you a faulty items la... borrow and test it for a few hours la...

What other accessories is included ? Lens filter, SD card, bag , etc..etc... etc... all these surely add up more $$$...

D7000 hv built-in motor, so can use those older/cheaper lens like 50mm f/1.8D ...

BTW D5200 just came out with a lot of the D7000 features on it...
