a NEW d40 kit should be that price but i've seen people selling new D40 kits as high as rm16xx. a ripoff indeed

a 6mp camera with a fast flash sync compared to d60 or d40x.

newbie here...
my brother left his spare camera at hom..
its a nikon d60 af-s nikkor 18-55mm vr
been reading this thread for 30 mins , but i cant understand a word u guys r saying...
hahaha...
sorry for the "newbishness"...
but im interested in learning evrything about my d60...
saw sum pics taken by u guys...
amazing pics!!
wer n how can i learn 2 snap nice quality pictures?
any tutorial or books???

read the manual

there's numerous tutorials on the internet.

read and understand about ISO, Aperture & Shutter speed. then go out and take some pics..

long time i have not been here...

hello....
Give ur all opinion...
D60 and D40 nikon...which want good?

what ever u can afford is good...

raz...
luckily u answered first...

The best way of learning is on-the-job-training and experience from shooting more.

I can force feed you a million books and you still won't know what the terminologies are or how to apply them. I can give you the "best" lenses, "best" camera bodies and you still won't know how to use them.

So grab the camera, go out, shoot in auto, shoot in scene modes, download your photos... take a look at them and be VERY critical in your judgement. Ask yourself what you like about that photo and why, or what you dislike about that photo. If you need some help in judging the shot, post it so we can critique but be prepared to receive harsh critiques and learn from it, or be prepared to defend your technique.

A, P, S, M modes, shutter speeds, bokeh, aperture, CLS, bracketing, HDR... all these ADD value to the shot, but if your basics are wrong - framing a photo, angle.... applying super bokeh, HDR etc won't be worth crap.

That all being said, there are many people who are very happy with brainless point and shoot shots... they dislike having to think, plan before taking a shot and just enjoy shooting whatever they like. At the end of the day, as long as it floats your boat.

i ask recently at photo fair in penang...around RM1500 i think...
still got stock..but i guess it's old stock since this model has been discontinued...

okok....
attached sum pics i recently took in a car show...
plss comment!!!
Thanks evry1 for the feedback!!

#1 - I'm attracted to the reflections off the car body. Perhaps angling it better would bring out that more. The building behind certainly isn't that interesting.
#2 - I like the idea, but you chopped away the wheel and part of the rims. Plus the rims are underexposed relative to the sun. Which makes the shot rather unattractive.
#3 - It's a shot of a car in the middle of a parking lot.
#4 - It's a shot of a car by the road.
#5 - Last photo has the most promise. Adjust your aperture so that the "Porche" word is sharp as well. Maybe frame the shot to have the front grill + logo... the hood and windscreen might not be necessary.

Overall, the shots are fine it you just started photography... lots of room for improvement by means of angles, lighting and composition though.

Thanks...
i'll try 2 understand and use wat u commented...
*angling
*light expose
*composition
*aperture

this is way better than reading articles after articles...
hahaha....
Thanks~
i'll post sum pics asap..

guys.. tamron 17-50 f2.8 and sigma 17-70 F2.8-4.5... which one better? wanna get one tomorrow

and flash nissin Di622 OR cybertik mz45?

tammy for its constant aperture....!

juz get a nikon speedlight...
its not worth saving a few cents on cheaper alternatives...

sb600 about rm8xx

nissin OR cybertik OR falcon eyes - rm 430

not a few cents for sure.. that's a rm380-rm4xx difference.

I jst get RM7xx SB-600, brand new unit
but currently no stock already

Get Tamron. That lens IMO is one of the best lens Tamron even produced.

yeah... leaning towards that tammy .. compared to the sigma 17-70 though the sigma has a really nice MFD minimum focus distance. got a person in alpha thread showing a pic of a finger touching the 17-70 filter still in focus...

thanks for the opinion

Nikon is surely more expensive.
Depends on ur budget whether to get the Nikon which is the best or other 3rd party lens lor

yeah.. maybe 1st try 3rd party flash..then later got budget maybe go to sb800..
