wondering... why take picture with RAW instead of jpeg?
IMO... downside using RAW,
1. we need to use photoshop to view
2. more space for picture conversion to jpeg later
3. duplicate picture
good side maybe a lots also....

Use raw contains more detail... easier to tweak.... that's the reason lor..

sumtime use jpeg...sumtime use raw. but mostly use jpeg

well, for my personal definition, those you think kind of very important scene/moment/etc you wanna snap, it is better to take it in RAW format...

full time RaWr............ ;P

take jpeg coz prefered my streetshoot style. snap snap..and a bit touch using lightroom. well...depend la...

I'll only shoot in jpeg if im running out of memory.. and i still have to shoot... =p

i usually use JPG la. can snap more stuff.

use RAW only when really critical stuff where WB looks a bit screwed.

sometimes shoot raw, sometimes shoot jpeg, raw can capture all the detail and you have more option to tweak it later, jpeg tweak too much the image won't look nice anymore

*sigh* everyone got bonus and start buying stuff already, i need to get either a flash or a replacement for my kitlens, 100mm f/2.8 is good, but indoor it's a bit too long sometime

wahh..thinking new lens erh??

just thinking haha, my 100mm f/2.8 can use indoor but focal length too long sometime, so a standard zoom with f/2.8 to replace my kitlens or a flashgun will be nice. too bad company no bonus *sigh*

viking, pls update my gear also... all in the siggy below

canon 430ex???? . bila beli? . and sigma 18-200 OS..so u now had all-rounder lenses

mind to tell me how much you buy Sigma 18-200 Dc OS?
where you bought? made in?
and.... how much for uv filter?
it in my wish list....

18-200 OS around rm1.7k. but for used one...around 1.2~1.4 . depends. its oso in my wish list

Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM
this is a good alternative i suppose?

the sigma 70mm macro is better, but the downside there's no USM. U can get the 105mm by sigma too, cheaper than the 70mm but just as sharp.

i'll be like TheVOIP today...
why 60mm Macro.. get the MPE-65 and you'll never look at macro lens the same way again. it's full of jism that make you drool and cum all over your cam
