haha jelly you all can buy unlimited lenses

that bokeh on the last picture, watched spider making it's webs too last week but too bad it's evening that time and I am under shade of leaves.

i think the 5D m3 should be better? i've seen quite many people shoot serious sports with it, while with the d800 i don't really see them everywhere.

but imagine going back home and trying to import all those 36mp files into your computer

sometimes i wonder why nikon didn't let people to choose the MPs for their files.

i know, but how many people would need d800's resolution for newspapers/ magazines? it will be really awesome if nikon can offer other resolution of raw files to their cameras (for example a 24mp or 12mp for d800? )

i was talking about the d800's 36mp files (haha sorry for not being clear). of course, those d4/1d will have smaller files.

Anyone know what bug is this?

It looks like dead or something because it can still move it's legs but not flying or what even if I used sticks to touch it.

1: the sensor performance between fx and dx is almost day and night in high iso and also dynamic range. but if you don't use high ISO that often, it's more than enough to get a d7100 or 70d.

2: you might think that you don't need it, but that's because you never encounter with such situations before. it's really useful if you shoot group photo/ video or "close distance objects in details"(as you said), you will find the usefulness of it because you can check focus/ preview pictures in a totally different angle compared to fix screen.

3: most fx lenses are more expensive than dx lenses, but there are some exceptions. i can't really tell you each lenses since I am not using Nikon, but if you are interested in canon FF too, there are some top quality L lenses that are only 2-3k for new (17-40L, 24-105L, 70-200L f4, 100L, 200L, 135L and etc).

4: body made of aluminium or not, theses cameras can easily lasts you at least a few years. they are weather sealed too, means you can shoot in rain or outdoor (but they are not waterproof by any means). there's a reason why not all cameras are made of full metal, it's because manufacture can cut cost and also reduce the weight of a camera.

5: for battery, dslr batteries are charged off camera most of the time (not sure if USB can charge also?). that means you will get a external charger to charge your battery.

Anyone here bought DF? I went to Batu Caves this morning to shoot Thaipusam and I must say the DF looks sexy in real life (albeit the stupid pricing and low specs )

it does looks good imo, but the looks definitely doesn't worth that much. it's like buying a myvi then put on GTR bodykit on it and sell at rm200k. didn't see any a7 today though tons of 1Ds/ D4 and leica.

but most mirrorless don't focus as well as DSLR and there's not many good tele lenses for them also. that's the only 2 points that holding me back from changing to fuji

speed for stills it's alright, but lets say you want to track something, then mirrorless can't do that well. oh you want to get it solely for travel? then of course you won't be needing a 70-200

ahha that's the pain when you have too many choices i only have 3 lenses but already thinking for long time which one to bring out already everytime i am going out

Macro shots using the 100L

thanks

haha it looks really unreal with the saturated green color when blasted with flash.

a true macro lens will really improve anyone's macro shots

admire how you get so many spider shots, they always jump away or jump towards me (which is so damn scary) when i try to focus + put my light around. damnn borrowed my friend's 100L until next week but can't find anything to shoot today.

Some other shots I took yesterday, any idea why does hoverfly sleep (i think so? since it's late evening and it just stops there) by hanging itself to the branch like a bat?

+ 1 extra fly shot

and diffraction is really something anyone should avoid when shooting macro, since it will make your shot looks misfocused.

Anyone watched this review yet? it's just so entertaining and kinda punches Nikon in the face for creating the DF.

it's really fast, i am quite sure faster than a lot of dslr. mirrorless focuses damn quick actually, fuji might not be the fastest, but those m4/3 can focus in split second, you can search for the videos on youtube.

fast is one thing, but they don't perform that well in tracking yet. in sports, you don't only rely on speed, you need something that can track the movement instead. still, i think mirrorless might be able to catch up with dslr's tracking speed one day since there are already cameras with contrast + phase detection focusing.
