QUOTE(from Wiki)

Doubt, a status between belief and disbelief, involves uncertainty or distrust or lack of sureness of an alleged fact, an action, a motive, or a decision.

If you could say that your doubt is not a feel(ing), then I rest my case. You have no idea what level of England I have wink.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

Enough of this England thingy, so lets see some links on Tammy >>>>>>>> CZ

I'm sure the findings would be interesting. thumbup.gif

Sad to say you still don't understand the meaning of doubt.  sleep.gif 
Why are you so cooked up over this? Is it wrong to post what others comment about something? Some people might say that Sony is god-like, some might think that it's just another piece of thrash. Whether they say it's good or not, it's up to you to digest. Don't tell me you are those who can't accept what others comment? or your ears only welcome good points of the brand you are using? Do ponder about it.

Yeah, may be all my England teachers has failed to guide me to the correct path. All the while I thought doubt is a feeling, even Oxford said so. Wiki nowadays is crappy lah, don't use it.

Your post already proven what I telling you. You still can't get what I meant? I doubt means that I'm not sure. Can't you understand simple England like that? Jeez.

[QUOTE]a feeling of uncertainty[/QUOTE]
LOL, the viking strikes back! I thought we are dropping it?

Thanks for highlighting it in red, doubt = feeling. I'm wondering why are you proving yourself wrong now.

If you are insisting that doubt =/= felling then good for you, you have you OWN definition for words. Want to be a lexicographer ei? Or may be you could be an England teacher and educate the world. Touché!

@ bold : So ? I use only 1 focus point or sensor point to snap photo. Others, I choose it. More sensor point or focus point will make camera great eh ? How come I never know that ? blush.gif

I guess most people will regard more focus point as a better camera. Even the engineers who design the camera is moving along this direction.

Notice the number of focus point for D40 up til D3x?

Just so that you know, someone was banned before for trolling here sweat.gif




Took this photo during X'mas eve in Berjaya Hills. Wanted to enjoy the fireworks rather than busy taking it so I set the Shutter to 4s and let it kau tim by itself. Added 2 sec delay as well to avoid camera shake.

Any easier ways to take fireworks?

Well, nothing much to say about more focus point is a better camera ?

p/s : Your post of some joke is up at jokes heaven. Check it up wink.gif

I wouldn't be bothered la, thanks for the heads up anyway laugh.gif

On the focus point, I'm not sure what else should I add. May be you can put something on the table for discussion? Would like to hear your opinion too.

Use a sturdy tripod, use bulb mode, use wireless remote control?

Good suggestion! thumbup.gif Truly a seasoned photog. Let bygones be bygones, may be when I get back to KL, I can drop by SRB and we go shooting. Teh Tarik on me nod.gif

Strudy tripod - Check! (well, hopefully the Manfrotto will be good)
Bulb Mode - Check! Know how to do it and cam can do it.
Wireless remote control - Bummer (looking at a RM130 unit from SSK when I bought my tripod........ not sure whether I should buy it or not)

On the tripod, I'm flying off to Bali 2 weeks from now. If SSK can deliver it soon enough, I can ask my colleague to bring it to me at Bali. I'm sure it will be so useful then.

Sidenote:
Its funny that SSK gives free postage and RM8 discount for orders above RM100. It gives cheapskates like me the idea to split the purchase into 2. Buy the tripod and remote separately and get 2 times RM8 discount. sweat.gif

Advanced Drifting Technique

This is very useful if you have mastered all the techniques of drifting and have carefuly tuned your car with your style. If you want to master this technique, you must get good tires that have grip and can be able to drift. Many profesionals upgrade their cars from 200-1000 hp but don't go over 400 hp if you are a beginner. And make sure to put enough touque because horsepower isn't everything in drifting.

What you need is to turn off your ESP (Electronic Stability Control(Equiped in many Mercedes-Benz)), TC (Traction Control)off, require a Manual Transmission with a clutch pedal and the clutch must be 2-3 plates. Also, you will need a FR, RWD, AWD (4WD) with a 0/100-20/80 torque distrubution (front/rear), ABS can be off or disabled. Stiff suspension front and back depending on your style and must be as low from the ground as possible but not too low that it scrapes the ground (50-90 mm off the ground), and you need a LSD (Limited Slip Differential). For safety, buy a racing seat with a 4 point seat belt and a 6 or 8 point roll cage. All right. On to the steps.

Kanji type 1:

    * Come up to a corner at a fair rate of speed like in a race track.
    * Push the Brakes 50 meters away from the racing line for braking but don't slam on the brakes but push it about 50%.
    * Feint as little as possible.
    * Power-over and clutch-kick all the way.
    * Use handbrake and clutch-kick to increase angle.

Kanji type 2:

    * Come up to a corner at a fair rate of speed like in a race track.
    * Push the Brakes 50 meters away from the racing line for braking but don't slam on the brakes but push it about 50%.
    * Hold the clutch and rev up to 5000-6500 RPM.
    * Pop the clutch and control.
    * Use handbrake and clutch-kick to increase angle.

If you want to transition to a different direction, hold the clutch and turn in more and clutch kick or another way is to let go of the gas, turn in, and power over and control. To end a drift is to turn in very fast and hold the clutch until steady.

Hi Sifus!

Need to ask your opinions, I'm planning to get a 18200 lens for my Sony A300.

Am not very sure how to differentiate the specs of the lenses.

So wanna ask, which of the above lens should I consider?

Want something versatile with Macro and Zoom capabilities up to 200mm.

Please help me. Thanks.
