QUOTE(TheVoIP @ Jan 17 2008, 04:32 PM) By the way, I can confirm the new D300 got live view, because I was shooting with some other photographer in wedding events. Live view very useful in those "yam seng" shots where you just need to lift up your camera high high and look at the LCD... Hahah...  was testing the D300 the other day, the focusing when in liveview was damn slow. anyway want to look big? get a huge hood!  it's light but adds the impression! |

That's why my lenses all got hood.anyway want to look big? get a huge hood! it's light but adds the impression! I even made an oversized, and super effective hood for my tiny 50 f1.4 lense....  BIG and LONG is always better...  |

It might be too loooong even for my taste... http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/carl-ze...telephoto-lens/ 5.5 feet long lens.....where you stand also hit the model already....  I worry it might scare the models off with this gigantic size! Anyway, I am pretty happy with my current size.... good enought.. |

QUOTE(TheVoIP @ Jan 17 2008, 05:56 PM) As I had expressed in my previous numerous posts that SIZE matter... Always go as BIG as possible... When yours is BIG (White lense, 300 f2.8 etc), you never shy to show... And on the other way, small things tends to be embrassed. tell that to those photographers at war who trust nothing but their M8.These teory works on a lot of things; Camry, Accord is much better than Kelisa and Kancil.... S class is better than C class... Even kids that do not know the price of the cars can understand that... Even our politician admit that some AV video was him, all because his size is OK and want to tunjuk. Imagine if yours is small, being captured in video, and watch by others... Do you want to admit it is actually yours?  Hope my words can help in opening your mind to understanding the important of dSLR so you are not regreting getting one. If you want to regret, only regret yours are not big enought, and should get bigger one... Remember BIG is always Better.... LOOOONG also good. BIG + LONG = VERY GOOD! |

It's a DSLR, though to me it's a prosumer. SLR = Single Lens Reflex - d40 has single reflex lens and meet the requirement so it's SLR whether you like it or not This post has been edited by mars2005: Jan 17 2008, 09:07 PM |

UV, ND, CPL ablablabl......... i use filters + hood to protect my lens from paintball pellets. |

get a big ass cam eventhough it doesnt fit your requirements, get a batt grip, 70-200/2.8 with it's lens hood and the mother of all flash. you'll definately look pro.

QUOTE(darthbaboon @ Jan 17 2008, 05:17 PM) Well if we all had time (and possibly attention span) to read and digest thick manuals/guides/self-help books this world will be an uthopian theme park, a lot of instructors/teachers/counselors/shrinks will be out of a job and there'd prolly be world peace and an end to world poverty, hunger and illiteracy at last. The manual that comes with your camera doesnt teach you how to take photos. It merely teaches you how to use the camera. RM 5.7k for liveview and even more mysterious buttons and functions..... *run for your life!*  You do realize that its the huge number of buttons which makes a camera fast to operate do ya? No wasting precious time fiddling with menus. This post has been edited by BurgaFlippinMan: Jan 18 2008, 01:16 AM |
