zio...because tey all look the same

i edit the tag already

not verysure...should ask xandman about all those ...he knows best :)CLS stuff

i thought is all Nikon digital system have CLS?

mindkiller...you seen my "what can you do when theres a blackout?" thread? i used the method that you explianed to shoot that shot..go check out the photo gallery

added you in the list

check the garage sale section shud have...use the search function

you outdated lar...must get d700 edi!!!

mindkiller..that is really really a nice shot

live view wasnt meant to be in SLR... so i dun think there is a need for live view...it is only useful when shooting hard to reach angles...other than that, nobody uses live view

the tech for live view in SLR are not advance enough for you to use it often... for eg the focusing speed and stuff...so damn slow with live view.....

haha... never heard before ler.... coz its not much of a use

posted new photos
