could anybody know why does D40X with kit lens is much more expensive than d60 with the new VR kit lens at shashinki? based on the pricing there better go for d60 straight on with its 1 stop higher DR than D40x imho.

coz d60 new product less cost lor...maybe ^^

Well, if you are considering the D60 or the D40x, it is recommended to go for the D60. It is a replacement model of the D40x after all. So, if its cheaper, even better

well..guys..b4 dat what is bokeh means?

Hmmm... naked in b.m. maybe?

bokeh refers to the OOF area in ur picture...=)

Bokeh is derived from the japanese word, boke, which means blur

guys, bring your camera out often and shoot more !!

i tot you can bring to nikon service center then they reset the shutter for you free?

no, the RM250 is the replacement for the shutter that is dead..
I email them to ask them about this..
reset the shutter in the firmware, I am not sure about that one.

ah..nvm lar...you only neeed to reset yr shutter like..... 5 years maybe? y then maybe you change body edi

wow i know wat bokeh mean...BUT i dunno its origin
thanks...i learn new word everyday

do you guys usually take pictures with flash on? I know this is a silly question cos when the place is dark of course you use flash. But i don't quite like to use flash especially with yellow lighting. Cos there would either be reflections or it's too white maybe? But without using flash, the picture will be blur if i don't have a steady hand.

That's why you need external speedlight, use bounce technique.

bounce technique... ok i'll google it. Thanks!

tat's one of the hardest question in photography...low lighting
for advance photog, i would say they'll use external flash or fast lens to capture good image under low light...
but for a beginner (like me), without fast lens or external flash...we'll hv to make do with whatever we got....and try-and-error setting btw ISO/apperture/shutter and also d WB...

if really need to use internal flash...set it low so that the shadow/light would not seem too harsh...

happy shooting

you know what? I still don't know what are all those settings in my camera. So i'm definitely a more newbie than you are. There are so many things that i think i'm lost.

haha...no worries...there's always the MANUAL book
for me...i started of with the setting as recommended in KenRockwell...after i mastered it...i custom set it now...
