darthbaboon, i've used. pns, prosumer and DSLR.

each time i migrate, i see significant difference.

so if you upgrade and you see no difference. perhaps upgrading was a wrong move, you should've stick to your prosumer.



the pros and cons are stated already. if you buy a DSLR and still see no difference with your prosumer, then clearly you're in total lack of knowledge and understanding. comparing the DSLR and prosumer is like apples to orange.

while both are cameras, they work differently.




come join me in the paintball field. let's see what your prosumer can get.




no la. don't have to spend more also. just the kit lens also can do plenty of nice stuff already.



*btw there's a reason why i still keep my prosumer. WHY? I won't elaborate, one would understand if one knows their difference. reasons are in my article.

ehh, just get a 70-300 IS then you have more than 400mm on your side already mah you 30D user

anyway no one miss macro mode?

that's the nice thing about prosumer, all-in-one package.

came up wat. read carefully.

i doubt the people here are insulted.

i'm quite sure most are just simply amazed / dumb-founded by how one could jump into such a conclusion and even start a thread on it when one is obviously lacking even the basic knowledge of the difference between what he / she owned and what he / she intended to jump into.

it's like you upgrade from A to B and thinks B is bad when the actual problem is do you even bother to understand B before upgrading? I believe that's the point most are getting at.

look at the title, What you can do, I can do also! - yeah right, there's a reason why DSLRs are around. There's a reason why prosumer users when hang around DSLR users are poisoned badly.

aww yeah. we're from the same prosumer background.

but yeah that's what i did too but it didn't register that well until i got a DSLR.

the S7000 is still part of my arsenal today.

ahh. well there's always an indicator that tells you whether it's alright.

sometimes the indicator could be a little off, then you bump up the exposure a little.



Well yeah, i use 6MP prosumer and now 8MP DSLR.

the thing is like it or not your 10MP will snap better quality picture.

if i print out my prosumer vs my DSLR shots (both shoot same thing) no one will know which is from which either, but the thing is there's a quality there that you'll know to treasure eventually.




yes. he's just stating one of the advantages. See, sometimes you're shooting a flower and there's a bee coming. burst mode helps right? hoping to get nice shot. can spam.



cheap Nissin's cost like less than RM 500. Sunpaks have some at around RM 500 - 600. I'm not sure about Nikon range of speedlites but Canon's 580EX II comes to a little more than RM 1.5k. so again, depends on how far you're willing to go with the flash unit.

They're very useful.



ahh. takes a while. my S7000's focusing takes quite a while.



yup. that's the purpose. to snap at lowest ISO + faster exposure on bright sunny day.

again, he's just highlighting the advantages you have.



Yeah. fast power up is always good. the only set-back with the fast power up DSLR is that if it was using the wrong lens - useless also. LOL.

well anyway, Scorgio is just highlighting the advantages.

come join us this weekend for the gathering! It's a good opportunity to learn.

i doubt anyone here is insulted la (eh, i thought i mentioned this earlier).

the site shows even better the capability and short-coming of a point&shoot / prosumer camera.

i still keep my prosumer, they're do come in handy some times. if used my prosumer for blog article header twice already. i mean it being the subject.

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!

hehe. lousy lens nmind. fashion runway, easier to get spotted by models.

can add more bling too!

alright we're going off topic now.

was it? ok!

hood? make you look more power lor.

lens filter and hood serve different purpose.

hood blocks light from certain angle, like avoiding having flare in shots and such.

lens filter on the other hand........well you can go read up. UV, ND, CPL ablablabl.........

i use filters + hood to protect my lens from paintball pellets.

the orchids are under-exposed. you can bump up the exposure.

most importantly, PP with a purpose.

for me, my PP is almost always resize + sharpen + watermark + border only.

minor contrast / brightness correction if needed.

any further PPing would be considered as attempting to make picture into some creative form of art - not wrong either. again, PP with a purpose. some times you need to PP to get a certain feel out of the pic.

for me, i like the photos to be as original as it is.

PPing goes beyond photography already, some end up doing it so much, end up becoming software expert.

as long as your PP here doesn't mean "pang pui".
