Cause takut later buy SB700 keluar pula new 1.........

Sorry to sound harsh, so? SB700 is very capable speedlite.. no need to think too much about it. Jst get

At first i was aiming for Canon EOS 60D because of budget and its video capability, then i try it with the D7000 and found out I dont like how the 60D feel.
But then D7k video not really up to par... worse still I cant wait till next year. Sigh..

What would you recommend at this point of time, for a guy with RM3.5k budget: photo is priority (videos a big plus) regardless of brand?

ya...just get.
later if sb710 come out, just get also.
1 flash is never enough

D7000 is good enough for small projects and commercial film if you use it correctly.

Just back from an outdoor photoshoot... damn I'm so rusty already damn little keepers and just 2 flash isn't enough to shoot... my partner went to New York for holiday .

yes, i agree with u sir. under controlled situation, the D7000's video is no slouch. there's one wedding that one of our videographers had to use his D7000 as the given 5D2 is still undergoing a surgery. turns out pretty well. just that nikon's WB is warmer even if its set at the same value with canon's. but overall quality at low iso's, its still good enough.

anyway, yes it loses to a 60D on video by a small margin. but for stills photography, its a winner in lots of ways in my personal opinion

welcome to the club

ur next investment will be an SSD when u hear ur HDD groaning when photocopping 75mb RAW files

my 16GB CF card shows 200 shots but my 16GB SD cards shows 199 shots (both Sandisk extreme)... urs too?

2010 eh really. but still, a 700 is a good flash. heck, even a sb600 is still a good flash. if u buy now, then suddenly 710 come out.. nothing wrong with that. if u wait then u might as well wait forever since tech stuff always changes haha
u wont be using full power on these flashes often so..

Flash is something that you will keeping for a looooooooong time. Trust me

Even SB-910 released, it's the fact that I still prefers SB-900 over the faster cycle-time coz it doesn't have the function where it'll delays teh cycle when the flash head getting overheat soon

the back lcd screen is the same size... but the top lcd is different size..

still need to wait untill a dedicated GGS d600 available...

I'm just itchy done even know the price, but if around 2200-2500 worth the buy cause its about D7000 spec

Sorry D5100 also does 14bit raw pls check nikon website and wiki ya. To me d5100 is the poor mans d7000 with a few less dials and features.

nope, my SD shows 198 oni my CF yes 200 shots

getting 32GB memory cards tomorrow hopefully. btw guys, my 50mm 1.8G seems to have front focusing issues. on my D700 n D800 as well. i had to fine tune it -20

reason i bought the 50mm 1.8G is because the highest range on nikon's 50mm is the 50mm 1.4G and i read there's some focusing issues with it. sharpness wise, the 50mm 1.8G wins by a slight margin (this is what i read online, not that i have tried it). and i dont want sigma due to im afraid to gamble.

any 50mm 1.4G owners here? care to share ur opinion? if not i shud send it back to nikon for recalibration i suppose

Sorry my bad, so even entry body comes with 14-bit RAW nowadays. Awesome! But then again, single dial --> major turn off for me.

Side note, D5100 can only do lossy compressed 14-bit instead of lossless like D7000?

That is true that is why I did mention "Poor Man's D7000" anyway its a good camera for the price. If budget is not an issue then even I would have gone for the d7000. My regular shop has been trying to poison me for a long time.

But for me currently I figured I would rather spend my $ on lenses than another body.

Thanks guys for the help..

By the way one seller offered to add in a new 50mm fixed lens to the D7000 deal for an extra RM400. (I didnt asked about the brands and specs.. )

Im not looking for a bargain here, just wondering is that a good complimentary to the stock kit lens?
