QUOTE(gold3knight @ Nov 6 2006, 01:12 PM) I actually came across this or D60, can't remember which while I was searching for my dslr. The design wasn't what I was looking for. Too few buttons for me to press on the body. I like to press buttons. Try the D2Xs and above, like aeroplane cockpit QUOTE(Categg @ Nov 6 2006, 01:42 PM) This is supposed to be the model to bridge the gap between prosumer and DLSR, 599 Euro is abit too much i'll say. They've already took away the top LCD display, AF motor and recycled the D50/70 viewfinder (and possibly sensor from D50). Surely it could be cheaper. You know what I will call that model ? Garbage At that kinda design, noobs dun get to learn crap about photography, only lousy ergonomics and inconvenience. They might as well take it up and chuck it aside for an upgrade months later! |

QUOTE(Categg @ Nov 6 2006, 02:40 PM) Yeah.. garbage to us who are already on top of the food chain, but what about auntie/uncle/grand ma/grand dad who can't be bothered with learning but want good quality pics? IMHO they are just targeting at a different consumer group.. a body and the two basic kit lense (18-55, 50-200) and maybe an external flash is all they ever need. Those group won't even be BOTHERED with a huge chunky body that might break their old necks carrying that thing up the Great Wall of China or down Shanghai streets am I right? Some one told me that they can't even match the white dot to the red dot when they wanna change lenses, gosh you wanna convince them just by merely telling them that the quality of DSLRs are much better than compacts? I rather sell them a 10MP compact digicam thank you very much I think that model suites students better, you know, the "Which SLR is better? Which brand is better? I got a budget of so-and-so Ringgit but I am doing so-and-so course majoring in Photography bla bla bla" group This post has been edited by ac98: Nov 6 2006, 02:55 PM |

Nikon will be INSANE before they sell any new DSLR for RM2000+ street price!! Even the Canon 300D can only be purchased below RM2000 used!

QUOTE(shinchan^^ @ Nov 8 2006, 08:54 AM) Then why do you think we can't have Nikon D50 or Canon 350D or 400D body-only package? Not that they wanna earn from the lens ... even selling the entire package to you also they have not make ENOUGH! |

QUOTE(shinchan^^ @ Nov 8 2006, 11:52 AM) Told you already mah ... foreign websites mah. I never trust reviews from foreign websites, rather, I use them for reference but NOT to make decision whether to buy that particular model or not. Most of these jokers only want traffic to their websites so they can get more revenue from advertisers! All models of brands they also say good good good, marvelous marvelous marvelous .. in the end we also have to do our OWN survey and our OWN price comparison. What's the point? |
