got good vantage point?

New 24-70 coming soon?

*dat price though*

http://nikonrumors.com/2015/07/29/first-pi...ed-online.aspx/

Feel like my time with my D90 is coming to an end.

Thinking of getting on the FF train since I have the 70-200, 50 1.8 and *hopefully soon to own* 24-70 2.8. Does D750 seem a good choice?

Thanks!

Will head out to my local camera shop this weekend to survey the price first

If the distributor is Nikon MY pretty sure it's local

damage has been done

you buy the D750, do you have additions funds to get a lens or available lens?

If not, just get the D610, it's already good as it is. Unless you don't mind getting the D750 and spending a bit more on getting a lens.

P.S D750 body only price now around 5.8K, bought a D750 a 2-3 months back.

Then get the D610 kit. If it comes with the free 50, it's a good deal already.

Any body can do what you want to shoot, problem is the lens

It's a good body if you're just into the hobby but if you gave us a budget, probably we can suggest something more suitable for you and also lenses to buy.

D5300 body alone is around 2.4K already, with the kit lens 18-55 it's around 2.7K.
but if you take the 18-140, it's gonna be perfect 3K.

Up to you to decide, the 18-140 doesn't seem viable for you (yet) since you're shooting landscape, macro and night photography. Might want to spend some extra money from the 18-55 kit lens and get a those landscape filter sets/tripod or save up the money for a macro lens


But I have heard numerous news about the 18-55 kit problem about it's AF motor after a while of usage (but take it with a grain of salt)

yep

Nice

Started out the same with you, D90 for 7 years now moved to FX with the D750.
come2 we do D750 TT session also

What lens you matching it with?

Tested it already, dunno how to say but I can't get the feeling well with tamron lens... doesnt feel right
optimal performance is okay

but i opted for the Nikon 28-70 2.8, albeit heavier than the plastic version of the 24-70, optical performance is more or less on par.

it's alright, the same for me as well. only lens useable was the 50 1.8

now I have mid range zoom and tele, now to venture into wide and macro

The wait has finally come to an end, ladies and gentlemen, the D500 is here!



Not sure if i should be happy or not

They kinda skipped the 4 for their models i think. (minus the D4, that's their flagship series)

Same case for D5500, probably would do the same for D3500 also.

imo, will probably be lower when Nikon Malaysia releases the price during launch

I kinda wished they did the same body design as the D500 (mode dials especially) on the D750 though, and the round eye piece *rant*
Still happy i bought it though


It's basically a mini D5 with some specs downgraded a bit lol

Sports and nature pros for sure, others will probably look at D610/D750 for normal usage. Doesn't really justifying the high price if you're not gonna use the pro features.

Though i'm sure those who are ready to throw the money know the camera's potential

guys,

sad story time

> was using 28-70 2.8 (old heavy lens) for sunset shoot at the coastline
> found a spot for my shoot and set up my camera on a tripod
> moved the tripod a bit
> tripod head wasn't secured as i thought it was
> camera moved down and len hit the rock
> tried zooming
> zoom mechanism stuck between 35 and 70, can't zoom out to 28
> heard a crack (this is bad)
> lens won't focus
> sent to Nikon Penang for check up
> quoted price for fixing is RM2.8K (replacing the whole AF system)

No, i didn't put the hood on.
To me, it didn't really felt like a heavy impact on the lens, no dent or anything.

For now, i am missing my mid range zoom and will be a bit hard covering weddings with only a 50 1.8/1.4 and 70-200

Definitely Tokina

Used it before on my previous D90, i'd say it's one the best among the 3, even comparable to Nikon lens.

Mind telling us what lens are you using?

BTW, it's possible that the contact between the lens and your camera body is not properly aligned or is dirty,

I had a case with my friend's Canon 70D, she was using a 50 1.8 lens and everytime the shutter is pressed, the error info comes out. Just did some cleaning on the contact pin and it's all good again.

Yep and leaving me with no choice but to get a new one, unless the sigma 24-35 1.4 can convince me.

Saw a used one on KLDSLR, RM750. New one from Shashinki is around RM1K
