Why so wide???

Guys,

Currently I'm using canon 450D, Tamron 2.8 17-50mm with a normal lowgrade Nissin flash.

You see my 450D started to give me problem and I considering have it upgrade. Do you any suggestion? the price of the 70D looks very attractive to me. But some people just tell me to get a 7D Mk II.

What do you think?? Please advise.

7D2 is attractive as it's a full frame. But have to sale off current lens. And my SD card all canot use oledi.

I'm thinking of upgrade but just not sure how far should I go. The price differences is not so huge also. Got to think about it carefully.

I see. It's APSC. Ops. Ok ok. Will check and see.

Thanks. Appreciate your advise.

Question is I wonder my Tamron 2.8f 17-50mm can be used with 70D or not. Anyone using??

Wow. What softbox u using? Interested to get one also. Expensive??

Seriously (No offence) I think you have to exercise more first to get more understanding of light first before you jump into flash else you will have alots of confusion and thats gets u no where.

To answer your questions with my broken english, without flash/sufficient lighting, 3Element have to compromise each other depends on the situation you taking the picture. 3Element is ISO(sensor sensitivity), Aperture, and Shutter. So let's see which you can sacrifice. Like u taking photo in a dark place so you have no choice to sacrifice ISO loh.

For your picture, I can see that you maybe in Shutter speed(TV) Mode where your camera is so smart to determine if your picture is dark or not. But because of sensor may be wrong sometimes, that's where the +/-Ex comes in.

So, without flash, you possible might need to sacrifice some of these element. But since photography is about understanding capturing of lights so light is the important medium. So, here comes the flash and everything is settled. That's why you can use Manual and set whatever value you want. Since the flash is smart enough to determine the darkness and settings you choose, it flashes just enough lighting for you to capture a good picture (If you using TTL). That's why I still salute those old time photographer (expecially using film age). You don't have TTL, you don't have Tv /AV mode. And worst of all, you whole day photography trip result you will only know the next day after you develop the film.

Really two thumbs up.

Used sometime to write this due to my poor english so hope can understand what I just wrote and do correct me if I'm wrong.

U have to point also. But too fast will make confusing only. But too slow (like me) leave me learn alot slower.

By the way, like to ask this question some time oledi.

I'm currently still using my 450D with my Tamron 2.5F 17-50 and thinking on a body upgrade.

My likes on photography should be portraits and Landscape (Seldom required fast fps).

What do you think suits me? Very often I felt I've been knocking the ceiling of the ISO of my 450D which is the disadvantage.

@munak991, my suggestion on this is you shoot like at the degree of 60Deg from the window. You won't have the reflection and also it will be best if you have some yellow lightings in your house rather than having it too dark. Boost up abit on the ISO and try to use something to shade off any additional reflection if any (the top layer of the cake is not smooth).

It's old oledi. And I'm thinking for a better sensor as it's not in every dark situation you use a flash. Is 70D a good buy? Or 7D?

Guys, ask you simple question. Would you go for older 6D (Full frame) over new 70D (APSC)??

My current gear I have is Tamron 2.8F 17-50mm, 50mm 1.8, and a Nissin Flash.

The mount is different? So I can't actually fit my Tamron on this 6D?? I'm thinking of full frame and this 1 using SD somemore so I can still use my old 1 on it.

Wow.. Thanks guys. I just free only and saw so many replies. So, why I want to change my gear ah. Too old loh.

my 450D which been using like 8years always hit the ceiling oledi. ISO max only 1600. Even 800 really the noise level can't really compare with even my phone oledi. Well, I actually eying on the 70D but I just wonder is it good to just pour in another few thousand for a older FF.

7D MKII I heard they very good with the FPS. But I'm not into sports always. And it's far more expensive if compare to 70D.

I can put extra few thousand but not that much lah. Well, if my current tamron can't fit on FF then I have to spend more for the lens.

What do you think?

Ps: and how much u think my tamron can sell as second hand?. Mine is with no VC.

I'm thinking of 6D which is old. But new set. But too bad lah. Can't use back Tamron lens.

Like this I think the money factor really can change my decision oledi. Dun 1 spend more on lens. And old tamron only RM500 . OMG. So poor the second hand price. Thanks guys. I think I know the answer oledi. 70D. Any Idea any new body coming out to replace 70D??

I see. Then I should wait for the announcement then else stick with 70D. THanks alot guys.

Guys, planning to change my old 450D. Anyone knows when is the good time to buy new DSLR? I remember there's some promotion duno which month of the year. Anyone knows??

Wow.450D. It's a good camera but it's very old oledi and since u have a new camera phone and still new to 450D, I thin best if u just bring ur phone instead. U won't get a good picture end up wasted ur effort on bringing such heavy gadget to Nepal. Nepal still safe to go??

I'm also using a 450D with a Tamron 2.8F 17-50. For Landscape in bright day light U set ur ISO to Auto should not be a problem, and turn to AV mode with F7-F9 should be not a problem without tripod.

If evening, u may experience slow shuttle and u may need to push ur ISO to ISO800 which is noisy. Sometime Auto can push it to 800 but sometimes no. But for sure Auto will not set ur ISO to 1600. If ISO800 still slow shuttle then u may need to ISO1600 which is not so good unless u bring a tripod.

Anyone tried before buying SLR body in Lazada? Is it worth and is it original warranty from Canon? There mentioned is 100% Genuine product. It's cheap there. Should I try??

Isit? I din tot that IP Mart got sell SLR. Haha. Thanks mate. But I think dun have Installment also. How about shashinki??
