okay okay. thanks for the feedback. 

Guys and Sifus,
Currently I'm planning an upgrade into full frame.

But I'm am facing a dilemma on either to stick with Nikon and opt for (D610) or switching into Mirrorless ( Sony a7 2nd hand )

I'll be mainly focusing on doing pre-wedding shots and actual days.
(Currently assisting my friend)

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, shooting in DX mode will reduce cropping potential since you reduce the 36MP to 16MP  16MP is still plenty to crop what And since the photo sizes are smaller, editing will be much faster too in LR and Photoshop.

You can actually customize the FF --> DX --> FF conversion into one/two buttons, its very straightforward and fast actually; there's no need to go into menu to change. I would recommend you to try it out, its one of the most amazing things of the camera haha... took me 1 year to realize that   

The trick is to switch between FF and DX intermittently, depending on what you shoot. E.g. wide angle shot, or shots that require the full potential of FF, then shoot at FF. For extra zoom (1.5x), or not-that-important shots, shift to DX. Doing this will greatly reduce the amount of space taken up by the photos 

Haha, yeah its quite understandable; everyone has his or her own shooting style 

D: is there any reason to stick with DSLR? ( lets put the weight aside first )

really love DSLR , the shutter sound etc.. but then it seems like mirrorless has much more to offer...

dont wanna leave behind my Siggy 35mm ART

oh ya and i like to do street photography as well.. hence the size matters there too..

Ahh.. I happened to come across the same topic yesterday. In fact, I noticed that plenty of DSLRs that have a cheap price tag usually have a China-style charger.

You have to check the adapter or manual of the device for the details.. most electronic devices have a range of 120-240

DSLR more durable ?
Optical view finder cant see clear under strong sun rite? and the EVF will be able to adjust itself iinw.

yea mirrorless lens expensive, but Nikon juz bought over Samsung mirrorless tech right?
really hope nikon could step up its mirrorless tech.. wanna be nikonian 4eva

battery mirrorless one not that good compared to DSLR.

i need opinion guys
i have D5500
i want to buy extra batteries, is it ok to buy 3rd party batteries like DSTE EN-EL14?
Nikon Original EN-EL14a very expensive, i want to save money to buy prime lens.

DSTE EN-EL14 RM85 at lelong
while original triple the price

Like what the others have suggested, I think it will be nice to stick to ori batteries as its less risky.
Recent Nikon promotions offered free batteries as well. I think 2nd-hand ones can be relatively easy to find since several models may share the same batteries

Personally, having 2 batteries will be most useful, especially when you are covering events or having vacation overseas. Of course, learning to review photos less after each shot will help conserve batteries i.e. the more you use the screen, the faster you will lose battery life. 

eh so far i've never heard of battery ruining cameras, at least not the newer ones 3rd party or not.

and talking about batteries, the number of shots you can get from mirrorless in a single charge is just 

both my eos M and olympus em10 managed to get about 200 shots before battery kosong, my canon 550d and nikon d7000 can easily give me more than 1k shots in comparison.

It depends on how much photos you take also one ah
Oh ya, it also depends on the temperature... the battery won't last under cold conditions 

Guys,

need some help here I think a month ago, I commented that I have bought a D7100 + 50mm f1.8 prime lens and additional kit lens.

Played around with both lens, the kit lens really cant satisfy me.
I really love the 50mm lens as I mentioned before, I love taking clear shots.
But the problem is prime lens cannot zoom and not really practical for travel.

Im planning to get one good lens with similar quality with my prime lens.
- Able to zoom
- Wide for landscape
- Low aperture for better speed and bocay.
- Budget - 2k
- zoom range between 50-70+ is enough due to weight restrictions

I do not mind about brand or whatever as long as the quality and durability stays.

Any recommendation guys?

Any reason why the Nikon 17-55 so expensive other than brand? 

+1
Although the brand itself will cost you some money, the price is still quite justifiable.
However, if you are not planning to stay with DX in the long run, it will not be worth to get the Nikon 17-55 (even though its better) because it will be difficult to sell it out when you upgrade to FF/ jump ship later on 

I've owned Tamron Non-VC before. Light and gooding. 
24-70 > 17-55 
but your pocket is crying. 

I corrected it for you.

Moreover 24-70mm is a full frame lens, so it would be 36-105mm on your DX camera so it's still better to get the Tamron ones
