but FZ30 are great enough for me now... plan to keep it for kasar use. whereby get D80 for semi-pro...

what do u think?

OKOK... Nice...
But hor... some will said D70s cannot set the Temperature la... bla bla bla...
Then ma GEAR problem lor...
then no need test... wakakakaka...

I think that is an absolutely GREAT idea!

but don't u think get rid of FZ30 and get myself a D70 or D50 so later can share my lens with D80 better?

but in another thought. i love FZ30 12x optical zoom which is very handy for me.

still can make up my mind.

sorry ah henry... kacau ya thread a bit... need some advise from pro.

It is ok... My advise... D50...
"Peng" "Leng" "Cheng"...

Ayoooo ... what talking you-lar Henry taiko!!

Colour temperature cannot be set on D50, D70 and D70. Does that mean all those photographers with those Nikon models that go crashing into environments with bad lighting have to one-by-one queue up and leave? No-mah right? Auto WB will help you set your colours right but you'll have to tweak it together with your ISO setting and your other preset settings as well i.e Brightness, Tone, Sharpness, NR, etc. All these settings affect your final results.

That's why I ask ONE Photographer test D70s and D80 lor...
Let THAT photographer tell us the result...

k... will take that into consideration. thanx henry

i feel like ac98 wanna vomit blood jor...
my curiousity kacaoing him liao...
he getting headache...

I understand how you feel ... but think about this : Longer Zoom vs Ultimate Image Quality, which one do you want? Compact digicams and Prosumers change in time and fashion but the trend, usage and technology of SLRs last forever (at least they start from before World War 2 and might end maybe slightly after World War 3!)

12x Optical zoom ... well ... maybe a 18-200mm can satisfy, but once you hop onto DSLR-ism, it's not only DISTANCE you'll be excited about

Yalah ... wanna 'cure' myself liao ... I need some teh halia ais

agree wit ac sifu

seriously... the 70-200mm vr lens which i saw doesnt satisfy me in the range. guess i need to spend huge money on getting a long range zoom lens with ultimate image quality.

this was taken from my FZ30 with 12x macro af zoom.


this was taken from my friend D80 with 200mm vr lens at almost the same distance.


now u know why the 12x zoom are great to me. by the way... FZ30 have 33 - 420mm.

...your friend needs 300mm lens, beats 12x hands down.

everyone poisoning fulat dai kor i see....haha..........

Correct, coz you prefer distance over compo. Try asking any bird lover, it's better to see the whole body than just the face, but it's just personal preference. I prefer to see the bird's entire body over just the face.

Oh yeah, I like it better if it's FLYING. Now go catch some of that, I am waiting

nah... from young already photography society treasurer... not poisoning... just wanna make sure money i spend worth it... not simply get something only for 1 purpose.

that's not my style.

he need 18-70mm + 70-300mm lens...
get D70s kits set, then + 70-300mm lens (added RM400 like that)

The cheapest 300mm lens will cost at least 3 of Fulat's camera

totally understand that.... that's my main concern too... body with that lens almost 8k plus... so really need to spend that kinda of money on long range?

but again... canon cheaper. so i am considering 400D as well.. at least canon lens are affordable.
