You didn't have it half as bad as me. The few shops I ask, it went:
D 80 ???  Where got this model?? You got it wrong...it's D 70 lah !!
Haiz ...any wonder why my user name is ??!!  blink.gif  blink.gif  ohmy.gif  ohmy.gif

Depending on when you asked, many shop have not get the info as fast as us. They are forever waiting for 'HQ's Memo' or 'Fax from Agency'. Those guys work 12 hours a day over the counter, enough time to eat and sleep only everyday, dun blame them.

D50 already extinct?
many shops doesnt have it anymore

No point selling the D50 when the D80 is already out. Let me explain :

Those who are still looking for a cheaper entry level Nikon camera won't go for 6MP models anymore. It would be a smarter investment to move up to the 10MP notch straightaway looking at the other major players coming up with models of the same MPs.

Looking at this, retailers won't risk not able to sell the units or making a chicken feet profit out of selling them. It won't make sense as well. Doing so, it will give an impression to the potential customers that the model is 'obsolete'.

Bwahahaha, good one there. But you're forgetting that the D80 comes with

- D200 large viewfinder
- 11-area AF system (new version of Multi-CAM 1000, similar to D200)
- Improved high ISO (based on what i've seen)
- In camera tweaking (D-lighting, image overlay, multiple exposures, color modes)
- Upgraded wireless flash support (CLS)
- Manual kelvin temperature

Must counter poison... lol. I'm sticking to the dark side thank you whistling.gif

me too
already placed order for the dark side

anti dust - not really a plus
11-area AF
D lighting
superior flash technology

I am trying to target those poor souls out there who're still deciding whether to dump their 6MP D70/D70s to change over to the new 10MP Canon EOS 400D or not.

I don't understand why do most of you (those already having D70/s,300/350D) have to upgrade to their replacement models. Although they have been upgraded, it most probably won't better your photo-taking skills at all even if you get the upgrades. I've seen P&S cameras being used to take amazing photos and even more so with D70/s,300/350Ds. They're already very good cameras in their own right. Do you really need those upgraded features? wink.gif Why not save another year or two and jump to the semi-pro line?

Hi guyz, i want to ask some technical question about DSLR.

Why DSLR now go for CMOS sensor rather than CCD? We all know that CCD is better. Is it CMOS cost chepaer and improving?

For all of you that have dismisses the Sony-A100 because of the noise at high ISO.....I would have thought that the anti-shake system which enable you to shoot abt 2 stops lower would more than make up for it?

antishake doesnt freeze movement, which i find usually more important than just merely getting a sharp background. so, why not go for something which has both? wink.gif

The price is not a con ... it's an early price throwing attempt. I checked it out, street price is RM3499 Kit Package.

I agree with you on this but since you're quoting ME ...

People upgrade for a few reasons. Firstly, they cannot wait to beat one another in the 'I gotta get it before you all' bandwagon. Secondly, there are a lot of 'I got money so what' people out there. Thirdly, people who have been so-called waiting for the 'best' DSLR finally gives it up and go get one. Lastly, people who already hit a wall with their own hardware (either compact cam or SLR) and decide to move on to a better tool.

Malaysian camera buyers fall into at least ONE of the reasons I stated above, me inclusive. I dun deny the fact that anyone can be good with the tools they use, not only a camera, can be anything you use, but there are always advantages in moving into the latest technology because they give you a better edge and you move faster, more convenient and definitely improve in delivering results.

More than a decade ago, no one even believe that you can take photos and videos of your children and show on the TV immediately after that. You can do it now with a RM699 camera. Did I mention that you can do the same with your phone to?

P/S : Why need to save up and go for a semi-pro? Go straight up to PRO-mah, hahahaha ... * poison poison also * tongue.gif
