QUOTE(eddie89 @ Apr 19 2009, 11:01 PM) so you means that nikon d90 support the wireless creative system (CLS)? Actually how does it work? Is it same like sony alpha 200 with sony flash? yes...but im not sure whether Sony can adjust the power for each off their wireless flash.. for example..in nikon..i can adjust group A in Manual mode..and fire 1/50 power..group B with full power...group C with TTL..something like this. |

QUOTE(TheWandererX @ Apr 20 2009, 04:43 PM) Flash can be controlled by a Canon speedlite. Also I want to go for Canon because I think L lenses do better than Nikon's G lenses. And he frequently goes on jobs with his camera (he is in architecture) so I'll be bothering him if I wanted to borrow his lenses. hehe..yea was using..but i i cant change the settings like nikon's cls. Dono whether F58 a700/900 can do tht or not..My advice is to wait for the 500D as it outweighs the 450 and a350 in every way. It's been named as the 50D sensor in a Rebel. I thought you were using a Sony previously?  i knw speedlight has commander mode..but if newbie like me..i need at least 2 speedlights to play off camera flash lo...not rich la me..  |

QUOTE(ataris @ Apr 28 2009, 10:29 AM) guys, im thinking of buying Sony Alpha 300. just wondering whether Sony will launch a new model for Alpha ? Just afraid that after I buy, the price will drop !! no body knows the answer to this question, unless u know the marketing manager of sony anyone ? . If u can wait..juz wait..but u loose ur time in shooting while waiting for this. If this doesn't matter to you, then wait lor. |

QUOTE(beethoven4848 @ May 30 2009, 09:29 PM) hello, i need sum opinions.. hmm juz 85mm? meaning u loose all the zooming range. Unless u know wht u r going to take. Wht about canon 50D? it is quite good too...yea d300 maybe going to be replaced by d400 this year. But if u have the budget, go for D700 la...Type of camera/lens/accesories : semi-pro DSLR Budget: rm9k~11k Your Location: KL Preferable brand : Nikon/Nikkor Type of photography u want to do : mainly on portraits Any specific models in mind? : D700/D300 Any specific features u want? : detail, sharp n clear de lens i wan to couple up with D300 is 85mm 1.4d(total around 8.3k), D700 couple up with 50mm 1.4g( total around 9.3k) of course i haven adding up with filter, battery grip n others.. i like sharp n clear images, n i think d300+85mm is gud, but i think D700 FX would better becoz of full frame but when i think about de lens(50mm1.4g) im doubt dat de final quality by D700+50mm is not gud becoz of distortion n veg from lens.. i cant make up my mind, i wonder which 1 is the best n wise choice for future.. nikonrumors said tat there is replacement for d300 n 85mm is coming soon, so i think i might regret after bought d300+85mm of course i know D700+85mm is the best choice, but it is not in my budget.. or should i get D700+50mm now then onli buy 85mm in future? but i think quality from 50mm1.4g i think not gud for now, but in future i will get 85mm.. or i should buy d300+85mm then onli buy D700 in future?@@ but then d300 might be outdated soon, coz i plan to get a dslr to use at least 5 years from now and for to continue studies in photography.. |
