guys...seeking your advice here..

i recently jz back from taiwan trip with camera...
after back, i noticed the battery which i brought along
has shown some weird behavior...
even tot u "seems to be" fully charged it
the moment after take a few shots, it might suddenly tells u battery power low....but then if u turn off for some time, or remove and re-slot in the battery, it back to full again, take a few again, it shorten again...
but not always.....
wat can be wrong hah....
i got another spare battery(din bring there), which works fine

is the battery gone hey-wired after i bring to taiwan?

ive been doing some research here and there.. and found out that the average selling price for a second hand D40 is around 1200.. body only usually 900 and 400 for the kit lens.. ill rethink again whether im selling it or not leh..hehehe.. it is definitely underused, because of the size.. a G10 or lx3 sound more suitable for me.. but then.. its a DSLR! hahaha.
yerp.. there is no significant difference between the d60 and d40... unless the d60 has a built in af motor.. then it will be a good upgrade.. but that is not going to happen..hehehe...

d80 will be a good choice if you can find one.. 2 months ago, d80 for sale are EVERYWHERE!!

wei wei wei.....D60 don hav motor la....it jz like D40, need motor in the lens....
1 obvious dif is the D-lighting

jz heard of my fren looking for advice, to jump to DSLR too..
not talk for long, so couldn't know exactly wat they want...
sadly when the topic open...they jz say they wanna straight go pro.... =.="

makes me wonder should we advise one who jz started to go with DSLR to go straight to something like D300/D700/D3x?
even if u ask me back in the day when i bought my D60, hardly i can convince myself to get D80/90 yet becoz i dunno where my demand is yet

tot of asking them to get a 2nd hand entry level to try 1st, later can sell if want better, now dunno how to suggest to them dy.....

FYI, they work in SG, guess willing to spend kua...

jz like....
some honda driver comment general driver do not know utilise the CVT, and blame the gearbox
able to own a Ferrari may b, but u don drive tat speed, or u don hav chance to drive.

wat for own something if u wont make good use of it....

tat's wat i wanna tell my fren oso...do u really need to get the most pro 1 now....

who knows D90 would be the good enof for them, D300/700 will be overkill for them?
