My friend offered me around ~Rm2750 for his used D7000 body with 18-105mm kit len.
I'm quite in dilemma since I can get a new D5100 body + 35mm 1.8G lens combo cheaper ~RM2100

This is my first DSLR btw.
So any opinion guy, should i go with a new D5100 or a used D7000.
Thanks smile.gif

Go for d7000 and you wont regret later! if you have the budget go for new one. if not second also okay if you dont mind but make sure the condition is still okay and sc still low.
had the same dilemma like you before. biggrin.gif

So, is his asking price for the used D7000 kit reasonable?
Since idk the current street price for used D7000 kit.

And with D5100, I got new body and Nikon warranty.

Thanks

It is very worth it.. i sold my d7k body for 2.7k with 30k Shutter count..

D7k has both shutter n aperture dials which is justifiable already for me

since he's your friend.. ask him to let u play2 with it first.. confirm you'll fell in love with it. IMO it's better to go with D7000, the feel of the body itself is already solid. A new D7k would cost RM 3600-3800 with kitlens.

i tried those smaller ones for product, not strong enough unless u do longer exposure...so for portrait u going to need much bigger ones but i doubt u will still get enough dof.
stick with ur flashes.

I saw some tutorials on this guy using it... results seems pretty acceptable. Actually even easier to use than flash since its continuous, focus also easier IMO.

of cos can be done with led, just how many led are u willing to use to get enough power.
if ur talking about those smaller 120 /160 / 198 led panels, then you probably need more tongue.gif

anyway why cannot use a regular light to help focus? or even use one led to help focus?
then when comes to exposure time, set the flash to overpower those lights so u can get more proper dof / higher shutter speed etc.
same as for studio strobes which have modelling lights which are continuous also.

ah niekerk...got one of his books.
he doesnt show his exposure settings there, but i think hes roughly shooting around f/4?
tho i think that video is just a rough demo, cos the written stuff there says he uses it as additional light, not main light.

Not sure what settings, but its usable... plus modern camera nowadays can bump ISO up anyways. Then again, the demo he did only had 1 little LED light source.

i was looking at yongnuo also before.
but there is another brand i checked out called led-5009 which has 120 leds, but comes with its own rechargeable batt...which for me better since i only got 8pcs AA...and i want to use flash also.
maybe one day i go back check again and use a lightmeter app and measure how strong it is.

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.

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 tongue.gif

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

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 smile.gif

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

My friend offered me around ~Rm2750 for his used D7000 body with 18-105mm kit len.
I'm quite in dilemma since I can get a new D5100 body + 35mm 1.8G lens combo cheaper ~RM2100

This is my first DSLR btw.
So any opinion guy, should i go with a new D5100 or a used D7000.
Thanks  smile.gif

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

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 tongue.gif

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.

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.

i was looking at yongnuo also before.
but there is another brand i checked out called led-5009 which has 120 leds, but comes with its own rechargeable batt...which for me better since i only got 8pcs AA...and i want to use flash also.
maybe one day i go back check again and use a lightmeter app and measure how strong it is.
*
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 hmm.gif , 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.

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.

Thanks

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...

In fact I did. I surveyed ebay, amazon and many other online stores to do the price comparison. That is how I got the price for the new D5100 + 35mm 1.8G. i'm not malas la. smile.gif

His D7000 +kit lens is cheaper than the average ebay used one, but I want to know the Malaysian street price. Seller in garage section often do "Offer me a price" things, so I don't know the value there.. blush.gif

actually the one i wanted to get is the aputure 198c.
198 leds, around rm260, and can adjust the color temperature without using gels.

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?

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 thumbup.gif

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..

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 tongue.gif

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

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.
*
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.

welcome to the club  rclxms.gif

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

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

nope, my SD shows 198 oni tongue.gif my CF yes 200 shots laugh.gif

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 sweat.gif

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 sweat.gif

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.

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?

looking to upgrade my CF and SD in a short while but just wondering..is there alot of different between lossless compressed and compressed?

thanks guys!

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.

hmm new model.
tho i guess 16 lvls of brightness is more useful for video.

actually the one i wanted to get is the aputure 198c.
198 leds, around rm260, and can adjust the color temperature without using gels.
tho not many have it in stock yet...some aputure sellers dont even know it exists.
the yongnou li-on batt must buy with seperate charger right? so i guess about extra rm120.
that led-5009 one is rm160 with the li-on batt + charger...how long it can last i dunno tongue.gif
*
That Aputure 198C looks good, it is able to stack up unlike the Yongnuo.

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?

Hey Tony, how have you been doing? smile.gif

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.

thanks for the info n thinking it logically, it should do that. my canon sometimes show me even bizarre shot counts laugh.gif 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!

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?

Well, the reason it is called lossless compression is that full details can be uncompressed. I'm not sure if this is applicable when using third party software such as Adobe Camera Raw or Lightroom.

btw saw this.. the 198C and 198A can't work with all LED powered up...
198C it can use all LED, depends on what color temp.
thats how it achieves the color balance.
half are cooler, half are warmer...then got blend control.
so of cos if at either extreme it only uses half, if color temp in the middle somewhere then all are used.

Hi guys, I posted the oil spot problem on my D600 a while ago and fortunately due to a work travel, I'm in KL and managed to send my camera to Nikon for cleaning and checking.

They were shocked to see so much oil spots on it, and they said they'll do a sensor clean and I should be able to collect it today. Decided to call before heading out and I was told that the technician found a problem with my shutter and they are going to send it to PJ for further investigative work and try to remedy the problem. They did say, if have to, they will replace the shutter or mirror box. Upon searching what could be the cause, I came across this:

http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/post/50141626

I'm quite unsure what the problem is because I was still shooting with it the day I sent it in with no problems. I'll keep you guys posted when I hear from them.

most likely they're going to change the mirror driving unit.
at least thats what they do for the D7000 which had similar issues.
what is nikon doing i also dunno, 2yrs on since D7000 came out and they still havent fixed the problem on the D600.

hi,

wanna ask sumthing..i have sb900..first try to on ..cannot..thought battery issue ..because using the cap tesco je pun..then try using new battery also still the same..still think new batery tesco tu dah habis power ke ape.. (because buy a lot tesco battery before this for stock).

then try to open the battery cover..that time flash still mode ON..nk psg balik dia mcm jalan la pulak..so try close slowly..kira mcm kene renggang skit..flash working..(means not battery issue right?) ..

so u guys got any idea why this happened? i seldom use this flash.. suspect connector die ke ape ke dah renggang ke ape ..because forgot to take out the battery.

warranty form still have but maybe already expired..

all depends if they got parts or not...mine took less than a day.
if no parts, then obviously has to come from wherever they get it...which may take up to 2-3 weeks.

Probably battery connector somewhere is loose. Better bring it for service i guess.

As for the tesco battery, they are actually quite decent for the price. The blue and silver ones. My friends use that battery when they're out shooting compared to me who using eneloop

i have this kind of problem with my sb600 too. but that is as expected since i bought it 2nd hand and still in use for years and years already.

anyway .. what i did is, i clean all the connector part. usually with micro fiver cloth, so it will wipe clean almost everything that might prevent the battery to have perfect touch.

where it is out of reach, use your imagination on how can you clean it ... i use cotton bud .. lol.

well ... you could send it for service also.

Unpleasing depth of field. Either the entire leaf should be in focus or only frontal part of the leaf(from the camera) should be in focus. I noticed that the tree bark is in focus which is a distraction assuming the leaf is the main subject.

EDIT: The weird looking rock below the leaf with that combination of bluish black, white and orange colour is also kinda distracting.

No problem, could've been a great photo. The white balance is alright, the area in focus is very sharp. and you have an awesome lens; the Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 right? wink.gif

hello..im newbie in dslr..can i know did i should put a silica gel to into my dslr bag to keep it dry or not? =)

it only works if there is a lot and your bag is air tight. invest in a large dry box, dont keep your camera + lens in camera bag. They tend to grow mold.

imo, it would look nicer if the whole flower was in focus, cos my eyes keep going up to the flower on top more.
if not, then maybe a tighter crop.

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.

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 smile.gif

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.

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 tongue.gif

Yeap, that's the least you should be looking at. If you have more budget can consider the B+W as well.

I'm using a Hoya HD 77mm CPL, so far so good. Used mostly when shooting motorsport LOL, but most of the time I'm just too lazy to switch the filters.

Im shooting videos w/ 5dmk2 / 7D.. currently testing to see if our new d600 video can fit in our workflow or not. But Canon live view zooming is really way better than Nikons. And the best part for me is ability to load custom picture styles for flat video. Gonna real world test the d600 tonite wink.gif wish me luck!

honestly, i use live view zooming to get precise focusing. on a D800, the live view auto focusing is SUPERB. but when it comes to zoom > manual focusing, even the 60D can win due to screen lagness. and i use alot of zoom > manual focusing when it comes to video sweat.gif

Im shooting videos w/ 5dmk2 / 7D.. currently testing to see if our new d600 video can fit in our workflow or not. But Canon live view zooming is really way better than Nikons. And the best part for me is ability to load custom picture styles for flat video. Gonna real world test the d600 tonite wink.gif wish me luck!

good luck! i've tried to D600's video and it seems good enough. just that one thing i have to complaint..why i cannot set the aperture in live view?? huhu me so sad sad.gif other than that, the video quality is nice. and being able to use FX and DX in video mode also is a nice feature thumbup.gif

Hey, I heard the live view aperture bug might be fixed in an upcoming firmware update. Another fix would be to use AF-D lenses.

nikon does have it, but not as good as canon's. its minor really if one is not doing lots of video works, but if one does, then it can be a bit more than just minor.

nope, i meant the aperture value in live view smile.gif u need to turn off the live view to change the aperture. but from the post above, it seems that nikon is working on a new firmware so that's a good thing.

as we all know, the nikon's WB is a bit warmer than canon's. that's a non issue but if ur aligning the WB precisely, its better off to get an external monitor so that the value n color renders correctly. take note that im using K in any situation for video. as for the full HD output, the D600 is pretty amazing on the blacks and highlights. but i stupidly get flickers on it sometimes (this one due to user problem). low light, D600 wins. but i rarely use it in low light. if we had to, then large aperture lenses will come in play so means no crazy high iso is needed. in terms of sharpness, to my eyes, the canon is abit sharper. its a none issue.

this is just my opinion, and yes the D600 records pretty amazing video. just that i have to say the laggy zoom in live view n the fact that i cant change the aperture in live view turns me off. but hey, that's just me. oh ya, and the oil n dusts leak to the sensor prob as well sad.gif

for those who bought a D600 for video n stills, its one hell of a camera smile.gif

So a quick review of the d600 video.. lags when zoomed in to focus in live view mode. Then cant really tell if its focused or not, better not zoomed in. LOVE the record button position... more tests need to be done..

I think Nikon dropped the idea of a semi pro / pro DX body already. No new 'pro grade' DX lenses from NIKKOR for sometime.

i would still think a D400 is coming...seeing as how the D5200 has basically inherited the D7000 AF 4800 module.
dunno what the D7100 can inherit then to make it better than a D5200...
unless it inherits a 3500 AF module, then that is more for a D400.

Added on November 18, 2012, 12:45 amalso rumors say canon most likely will announce a 7d mk2 in jan 2013, so nikon would need to follow that with a d400 tongue.gif

Actually if you think... Nikon didn't have any body up against 7D... D300s is just a D300 with video, nothing new compared to 40D -> 50D -> 7D kinda upgrade.

isnt a 50D about equal to a D90?
so 50D -> 7D == D90 -> D300?

imo D7000 is nikon's guinea pig, and has already been shown to have features that both newer FX and DX bodies inherited.
so the D7100 if announced, will need to have something special tongue.gif

IMO back then, D90 was a class by itself with D60/D3000 type body (entry model with single dials) competing against the 500D class from Canon. Then it goes to the 50D up against the D300/D300s which has weather sealed, magnesium body etc, dual dials, top LCD. The D90 is in between a entry and semi pro DX body actually. Canon didn't have anything to compete against the D90 class, except the 60D which was to go head on against the D7000. D7000 then is like between D90 and D300s. Ahh crap I'm confused with what I'm typing already sad.gif

In summary what I could recall back then was...

D3000 -> D5100 -> D90 -> D7000 -> D300/D300s
500D -> ??? -> ??? -> 60D -> 50D -> 7D

My take on this is Nikon is pretty smart this round as previously D700 took a portion of D3's sales! I mean come on, a cheaper body with same sensor, AF, metering and just 1 fps slower but comes with pop up flash. Its a steal!

D800 too big? Nah, D800 size is the same as D700! And D800 is much nicer to hold too, improved grip is win. But then again, for me D800 is the best combination so far, 6fps in crop mode as I use the burst majority during motorsport only. D800's pretty good for motorsport, I used it for MotoGP and loving it! Oh right its a poor man's sports gears as I do not have big telephoto like the press sad.gif D700 8fps in crop mode --> almost no MP left tongue.gif

previous rumors say d400 will have 24mp and 10fps.
I would think d7100 will come out later after d400 and that it'll again be the highest mp dx body like when d7000 came out...so maybe 30mp? tongue.gif

I just realize that my Nikon d3100 got some problem.
Photo taken has visible strip on top of the photo which has different color as the bottom. The strip covers about 1/8 of t the photo. Wonder what's the problem?

Different class.

New technology sure different.
If Mr. A drive a Honda Civic, after 10 years, Mr. A then change to a Honda City Latest Model. Upgrade or Downgrade?
Upgrade in terms of technology advancement (features, functions, etc), but actually is should be considered a downgrade because you're downgrading to a lower end model.

I'm guessing the price would be similar to the grey sets now, since HK which is Nikon HQ for Asia already dropped on their pricing.

Hi guys, not sure whether I can ask this sort of question here considering this is a Nikon thread.

Im thinking of buying a wide angle lens however im not sure which third party brand is the best one, its hard to differentiate between Sigma and Tamron, and Nikon is too expensive for my price range. Hope anyone can give some suggestion thank you smile.gif

tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 is actually a good lens. some might say even better than nikon if not for the narrow range. the new "II" model has AF motor too.

if u want REALLY wide, can try samyang 8mm. no AF, but at that wide you wont need it tongue.gif

Bare flash, because I was too damn lazy to fit the umbrella on haha. But for these rim lights, its best to use honeycomb so the light is more directional.

hmm use a macro lens to get closer? make sure crystal has no smudges?
need to throw more light to the front also.

i havent shot many of my watches yet, but just a couple here for fun.
one of this was using a point n shoot, but both in natural light.

tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 is actually a good lens. some might say even better than nikon if not for the narrow range. the new "II" model has AF motor too.

if u want REALLY wide, can try samyang 8mm. no AF, but at that wide you wont need it tongue.gif

Thanks for the suggestion. Im using D7000 currently. Also considering between Sigma 17-70mm f2.8 DC HSM Macro and the Tamron 17-50mm. Any suggestion which one is better, or the Tokina is better?

Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8

If you prefer wider, then Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8

i know 1 guy, he's a photojournalist. he's using his D3+28-300+sb900(if needed) almost 90% of the time. so in a way, that unker is right.

but we all know he's lying to himself. who can resist large aperture lenses when u got a FF n one of the best sensors in the world? laugh.gif

never used the sigma but have used the tammy. its a good lens considering the price but because of the price, it has its own drawbacks.
the thing that annoyed me the most was its damn focusing speed. it will always hunt around abit then it will get focus. and IMO its abit soft at 2.8, step down abit then ok edi lah. but all in all, great bargain for its price

Sigma isn't exactly very fast either, so Tammy is very worth the price, especially the non-VC version.

The issue is the focusing speed and accuracy, but that also depends on what the person use the lens for. For general use, it's good enough. For Weddings, it's usable but better if have a more reliable, accurate and faster focusing lens.

Overall, it's good enough for general use. Just the focusing speed and accuracy, for important or action scene, you may get much more less usable or spot on shot, which is more important if you're using it for a job.

Sigma isn't exactly very fast either, so Tammy is very worth the price, especially the non-VC version.
agreed that VC is not needed at all. i own the VC one last time but most of the time i off it because if u not wait the VC settle down n take picture, it will make the picture blur.
also the VC one is bulky and heavy and also expensive.

this is why i sold my D600 and bought the D800. but it turns out, my D800's a lemon copy. the middle AF point needs AF fine tune, the left and the right points also needs, just that in different values. im so tulan about this so i sell it too and bought another D3s. wanted to buy a D4 but im still not confident about the XQD card and i also heard that there's focusing system flaws.

probably u guys are saying, why not adjust the AF fine tune on the D800 right? yes i can. but its giving me inconsistent results throughout the range of the subject and i got a D90, 2xD700, D3, D3s before, and none of em is giving me this problem.

i love nikon's image quality, build quality, their lenses are super sharp, but maybe im not gonna be a beta tester for the time being (actually, i already did sweat.gif ). im giving it a year to see how nikon handles this.

i guess this rules out different countries with different qc theory.
even 28mm 1.8g and 85mm 1.8g arent free of focus issues.
so this currently puts china, thailand and japan all in the crap qc boat.
wonder if the coming 70-200 f/4 would fare any better in the qc dept.

so if a person shoot in full manual but also no composition, means hes a pro? biggrin.gif

but anyway bottom line is, a bad pic is a bad pic, a good pic is a good pic, regardless of how or what it is taken on.

i did give nikon BTS a call, they said they need to speak to their technician about it, and it'll take them up to 2 weeks to rectify the problem. its has been all over the web and im pretty sure nikon is not keeping shut about this. in time they will address this problem and fix it. by then it should be the right time for u to upgrade. just wish the D800 is as good as the D700..i mean when the D700 came out, it seems that there's like no probs with it. read somewhere that nikon switching factories may cause the QC interference.

and just got 1 tiny dust is minor problem...
(maybe before the event i go to midvalley to do sensor clean have some effect)
*
thanks for reminding me. ya i had one D700 with hot shoe problem as well. but mine occurred after 2years of heavy usage. so to me that;s quite reasonable. not right after i purchase it laugh.gif

actually, about the sensor dusts leak problem on the D600, its not that major..i mean, on my copy, i test it, the dusts' really visible after f8 and beyond..and i dont really go beyond f4..and the image quality it gives, is really really good. (saying this is denial)

but thinking about the money spent to purchase it, and the effort to clean the sensor, its just not worth it. studio shooting with a plain background will make the dusts more visible.

it gives superb image quality, just the sensor problem really bites me laugh.gif

i did give nikon BTS a call, they said they need to speak to their technician about it, and it'll take them up to 2 weeks to rectify the problem. its has been all over the web and im pretty sure nikon is not keeping shut about this. in time they will address this problem and fix it. by then it should be the right time for u to upgrade. just wish the D800 is as good as the D700..i mean when the D700 came out, it seems that there's like no probs with it. read somewhere that nikon switching factories may cause the QC interference.
*
but maybe its because of that massive earthquake + flood? it did put the entire japan factory under water remember? not to say im happy about the QC issues lately but maybe thats the reason? dunno lah. All I hope is by next year, no more problems for D800..

hi, i bought D7K around 1 month ago. RM3530 body + kitlens + 8gb card + nikon bag. I'd advise just buy body n kitlens only from shop, as they might con you on the accessory. biggrin.gif

i'd buy online if i were u tongue.gif

i think the main point here is, even if u want to buy from a shop and not sure if they're trustworthy or not, just buy the camera and lens kit and that's all. bag and SD card should be free.

it's when they start to offer you 'packages' like tripod or adapter this and filter that, for 'a good price', you should say NO.

they know it's easy for people to compare prices on the core stuff like camera and lenses so they cant con about those. people dont really know about adapters and filters and tripods so that's where they take advantage

yea.. if pricing is ok then just get at lowyat.. but normally lowyat price it isn't that good. even when i ask around for d90, they quote me 2.8-2.9K. maybe u wanna try the shop in Sg wang/BB plaza, forgot the name though, there's a shop in pudu plaza also. buy online just buy from trusted seller loh. if price is tooo good to be true then be careful. tongue.gif

1) body and kit lens for me tongue.gif (nikkor better, 3rd party brand also okay but read more feedback from others la, lesser hassle if just stick to nikkor i think)
got some sifus here using other lens that is not nikkor one, can ask them the feedback also.
2) just kit lens enough. unless you are sure , REALLY SURE to use a prime lens. who knows actually kit lens actually good enough?
buy 50mm/35mm f/1.8prime ? that one wait for you get your body and kitlens first, then later find out is that lens in your need or not.
or else you will one part of garage sales. whistling.gif
