I need more battery, how much aaa? original 400d battery,

Using raw format to take picture really squeeze the batt to the limit..

i would say it's around the RM200-220 region, depending on where you get it.

haha, some ppl came out with good feedbacks about this technique. I think its about the quality of the filters you bough. im going to give it a try, going to find some capalang filters to experiment.


Even pentax users kept on promoting their stuffs(no offense ya).

I once tried the A700 too. Pretty darn good camera(it was Ted Adnan's cam). The camera that time was equipped with a zeiss... the bokeh it produce was really...

poisoning

my last thing to buy after 580 x II, macro lens any suggestion? budget range rm2500

LCD is never accurate btw, so reading the histogram is the best way to see if it's over exposed or underexposed.
try reading about histogram here

Planning to get Speedlite 430ex do you think i should get 2nd hand or Brand new

btw what do you guys think about this lens with 350D >Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG might wanna get after CNY

guys if i wanna buy a zoom lense which type your will recommend...canon? sigma? tamron?

If you have the $$$ to buy canon , of course go for canon, if your kinda tight , u can go for sigma or tamron

it's a decent lens for a cheap price, can read the review here

i see, thanks for your info , interested already

valho i asked before this question, how much did you have to pay for that?

and its kinda hard to understand this histogram.

Yeah man.. I think next time all the forumers should list down where and at what price they bought the lenses. Frankly, There should not be a "I give you special price, so you don't go telling everyone!" kind of mentality.

We all want cheap, The retailers all want our money(This is getting more and more apparent what with the future petrol price increase and everything else that goes up with it) and will say anything to make the deal right?

Besides, if they sell it at a good price and then we inform ppl here, they will only make more money when all of us go there to get it from them. Sell bulk at a bit lower price is better than selling 1 or 2 at a higher price. Volume Sales is the key word here man..

Just called up Photo Selangor 55-250 IS RM840

Sigma 28-70mm F2.8-4 DG is it a good lense ar??

a wide angle lens... sigma 10-20, tokina 12-24, or the canon 10-22

Even the kitlens is a very good lens , it's just that if that particular lens suits the photographer.
So if you're looking for very shallow dof yet at a wide range , go get the Tamron 17-50mm or maybe Canon 17-55mm f2.8 IS.
or If you plan to get a 10-20mm lens later on , then go ahead with the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 instead.

I doesn't come across 28-70mm f2.8-4 before but from what i read on the 28-70mm f2.8 , the 28-70mm is very soft at wide open f2.8.
Go shop around and test it out yourself.

opps must have miss that, the grip is RM480, and the lens is RM1350, both from YL, they charge 2% is using CC on purchase RM800 and more. I ask him about bulk but doesn't seems to be willing to give more discount on the pricing. Grip for Rm480 seems to be the normal price, coz I think Bintang Maju the same price also. The 50mm f1.8 is still the cheapest at Photo Selangor it seems.

As for the histogram, a general guide is if it peaks to the left than is underexpose, if peak to the right then it's overexpose, i read from some where it said it's better to underexpose since if you overexpose you'll lose more details. try shooting the same scene using different exposure and look at each of the histogram, you'll understand better how to read it this way.
