I guess it depends on what you're buying but generally how much would a reasonable Fuji system cost?

The XM-1 is around RM2k something I think? XE-2 around RM3.8k, XT1 around RM4.8k, all with kitlens and using the same X-Trans sensor
RM3.9k for a F1.2 lens too, pretty uncommon haha

Some shots taken in Shifen Street 十分老街, Taiwan
This place is famous for its Sky Lanterns, where you write your wishes on the sides of the lanterns, before releasing them into the sky.











Usually nicer during the night though

good day again. been doing some reading since this morning in between job interval
so something caught my interest. mirrorless and dslr.
i've read about both of it and the comparison
mirrorless is light in weight compared to dslr
then the preview part, mirrorless cannot preview unless u take a pic of it.
the rest of the competition is more or less the same. for example, image quality, stabilization, video quality.
so i was hoping someone can help guide me on this about whether to get a dslr or mirrorless and pros and cons of it

Nikon's mirrorless systems are not that good when compared to competitors
So if you want to stick to Nikon, DSLRs are still the better pick

Mirrorless cameras, as the name suggest, lacks the mirror that allows you to see what you will be photographing through the lens- they lack the optical viewfinder, and thanks to that, they can be designed to be much smaller and more portable
Of course, smaller = more portable but less ergonomic

So it depends on what you really want most mirrorless systems nowadays are quite affordable, and uses similar sensors (go for the ones with APS-C and not m43) as those in DSLRs.

If portability is important to you - mirrorless
If ergnomics (dials and button layouts) - DSLR

just my 2 cents~

not really true some higher end mirrorless have quite many custom buttons that allow users to pick a specific function for them. thus it will offer more direct access compared to dslr.

the main advantages of dslr I can see compared to mirrorless is the phase detection, weather sealing/ ruggedness and also the choices of lenses (not really matter if you just shoot specific thing, not everyone buy every single lenses of a system anyways).

Any recommended shop for buying camera bag? Just need budget backpack bag. Seldom use. Just use it when travel.

There are a couple of large shops down there where you at least get to try the bags out and see whether they suit you or not
After that, if you want, can buy online haha

u deleted the photos, or reformated ur card. once u do that, ur pic file name will be back to DSC_0001.NEF

Correction, after closer scrutiny its really a 5DM2

guess u deleted in-camera then. it works the same way. lets say u shot two shots, then delete the 2nd shot, so , ur camera will make another file of the same name.

hw u noe la? i guess the lens is a 2470?
