Hi welcome to the club
Please do let us know your gear?

The guys here won't bite unless its a nice model's picture

Bye Bye happy that you are going off.

Hope Sony loves you like we do.

Guys, I need some advise.

Maybe be going to Reunion Island, Mauritius and Madagascar to assist the search for MH370.

I think a DSLR is important in this aspect for documentation purposes.

My body D5100, I think is good enough for this, also no other option.

My lens:
1. Kit lens 18-55
2. 35mm f1.8
3. Sigma 70-300

I am thinking about taking my zoom (70-300) and 35mm. But since will mostly be by the seaside or in boats so sayang if anything happen to my 35mm (my fav lens).

What do you guys think? Kit lens and 70-300?

Don't feel like taking all 3 because it would be heavy.

Or just forget the DSLR and just depend on my mobile phone?

I feel the zoom is useful since its a search mission ya.

What I can see is its either far away objects or close ups. Scenery wouldn't be related to the job in hand ya.

Ya I think kit lens and the zoom (can also use to look at objects far away). This two lens get spoil I would not feel any pain :hehe

Nice nice what lens?

Very steady hands you got there

The screen looks like can flip, right? Looks quite keng the design

Bonus have nipple to fondle

If you are serious photographer change if you have to, If you aren't keep it since the camera is quite good (I own one) and the value is so low better just keep it to play when there is a chance

Nikon's New DL Cameras Are All the Point-And-Shoot You'll Ever Need


Nikon's New DL Cameras Are All the Point-And-Shoot You'll Ever Need
Point-and-shoot cameras are stuck in a bad place between smartphones for most people, and mirrorless shooters for people who care more. Nikon’s new DL range is hoping to change all that.

The DLs all sport 20-megapixel 1-inch sensors, the same as in Nikon’s existing mirrorless cameras. It’s smaller than the Micro Four-Thirds and APS-C sensors commonly found in mirrorless cameras and cheaper DSLRs, but big enough to blow smartphone sensors out of the water. Sensor size is one of those specs that matter: bigger sensors mean more light, which makes for better detail, superior low-light performance, and all-around better performance.

The main difference between the three DLs is the lens: there’s one with a general-purpose 24-85mm zoom, a wide-angle 18-50mm zoom, and a superzoom 24-500mm. On paper, those focal lengths look good, but the apertures looks even better: f/1.8-2.8 for the 24-85 and 18-50, and f/2.8-5.6 for the superzoom. Paired with the 1-inch sensor, that should make for fast, non-blurry photos in most conditions.

The other specs also point to performance good enough for keen photographers: 4K video capture, hybrid autofocus, a 20fps burst shoot that puts my high-end mirrorless camera to shame, and 1200fps slow-mo (admittedly not at that 4K resolution). Add to that an OLED touchscreen on the back of each camera, a hotshoe to attach an optional electronic viewfinder, and full manual controls, and Nikon might have made the best camera you can fit in your pocket.

Unfortunately, you’ll also pay for it. The DL24-85, DL18-50 and DL24-500 cost $650, $850 and $1000 respectively, putting them right up (and beyond) other fantastic point-and-shoots like the Sony RX100. Worth it? We’ll have to wait and see, but either way, it’s fantastic to see Nikon trying to make a photographer-friendly pocketable camera, screw the price

SOS

Finally i found out the DL range is to go against smartphone.
