darn. so i need AF-S / AF-I lenses for AFing?

then again - the reason i'm aiming for DSLR is so that i get more freedom to manual focus! tongue.gif my S7000 focusing is tedious, yes it has lens-ring focus but then it's motorized.

who ask u get AF only lens

hehe. i know my usage........ wink.gif

even my S7000 last me nearly 2 years, since photography is just a hobby i don't intend to buy many lense.

my type of photography is usually landscape / scenery so sticking to a lens or 2 will be fine until later on when i have more $$$$ allocated to spend on lenses. smile.gif

I bought mine from Shong Lee at 1 Utama, same stuff but the price was RM2400 with an additional UV filter

Quite happy with the pictures, can get nicer photos from my previous Canon S3.  smile.gif

one more thing, if you buy high end DSLR, you will learn more how to take extra care of your camera more than if u buy lower specs DSLR
know why? the cheaper the price, the less you care  wink.gif

lol what the .......


My personal oppinions as i always play with my colleague 's d40
---------------------
1# too small : very hard to hold it steady
2# attach sb600/sb800 when shot vertical is unbalance
3# when attached larger lens : you hold the lens more than the body
4# 3 focus point is nothing much to play with (not flexible)
5# change settings process are slow
6# AF-S only lens for Auto Focus

if got better budget get a D70s,D80 or D200


yes it still better than a prosumer

esp attached it with ED VR lens brows.gif

How do I get this service if I'm interested? Take it back to Nikon service centre. How much are the charges?

FOC


QUOTE(mysticaldodo @ Feb 5 2007, 09:46 AM)
I'm new to DLSR (used manual SLR with slides before), so I'm learning to shoot with NEF. Some queries; Does it matter whether I open the NEF files with Photoshop CS2 or the SW supplied by Nikon?
Thanks
*
Both also can open just that CS2 need the RAW Plugins to open it

so many forumers buying the D40... for around that price, might as well add rm300 to get the 350D. 8mp, better noise control and can use both EF and EF-S lenses
