Totally agreed. Any offer or comment on the asking price should be done offline. That will make everyone happier :)

I've been using my Canon A590 for almost 3 years. It's been quite reliable until the beginning of this year. After putting in the new batteries (2 pieces of AA-size), the low-battery sign will pop up in less than 5 minutes. I tried different types of disposable battery, which I've been using...

Dear CSers Gong Xi Fa Cai !! I've been using the Tokina 28-70 f2.8 with my Nikon D200 & D70s for quite some time. Honestly I have no idea if they are fully compatible. But since the pictures turn out to be ok, I take it as no conflict between the above lens and the cameras. Recently I...

It's more worth to get the D7000 kit. If you don't want the 18-105, based on the B & S going rate, you can sell it and you nett cost would be lower than buying body alone. 18-70 is a dark horse. Many people see it as a kit lens and do not regard it as a serious contender. However, I...

Cool bro... I only learned from today's paper that Phelps and his Team have been practising at Singapore Island Country Club. Security must be v tight right? Wonderful shot !!

Hey AxeLa - technically you can use both full frame and DX lenses. Following is the extract from the D700 news release: DX cropping mode The Nikon D700 lets you select from either FX format (36 x 24) or DX format (24 x 16). At the default setting of [Auto DX crop], the camera will...

Not really lah, Cathlights, I'm just trying to find out more how Canon is doing in WB and metering and if it's doing a better job. If its performance is better in thest areas, obviously it gives us a reason to explore further....Oh yes, I know that I can always play with the WB and push it to...

Thanks for your kind advice, SFS, I can understand. No offend to Nikon and Nikonians with my remarks earlier. :sweat:Well, I should stay focused with my original purpose of hearing more from others about their experience of the Canon WB and metering :)

Silverarrow, I'm so happy to hear your story. My experience is similar - I was using a Canon A410 (3.2 Megapix) for almost a year before I bought the D70s. When I looked at the test shots, My God, the color is so much worse than what I can get from my A410. People told my that DSLR may...

Hey Longkangman, most of the time I shoot with my kit lens (18-70). In terms of sharpness, well, it's reasonable and I find it alright. I have a Tokina 28-70 but I try not to use it - too heavy :sweat: But it's a very good lens :thumbsup: Honestly, when I took my first few shots with my new...

Hi there, I've been using a D70s for almost a year. So far its WB has not really been satisfying and you got to compromise with it. In general, I find the picture too "blue". The accuracy of the metering of the camera is another issue - most of the time you have to shoot it with +0.3 and...

You're fast, nightwolf. But a bit sad, no special offer for D200.....

xtemujin - thanks for sharing - XMas comes early for Tokina fans !! I'm eyeing the 12-24mm.... how about you?

Thnaks for highlighting the difference. Looks like you guys are having great fun with the Sigma 10-20. Enjoy your shooting with this magical lens!

Hi night86mare, your vivid way of writing is giving an extra bonus to those who view your wonderful pictures. :thumbsup: Although I'm from Hong Kong, reading your write up about the territory is as interesting as visiting a place that I've never been to. Keep it going, night86mare, bravo !

Hello surflim, just wondering if you were also looking at Tokina 10-17mm when you were evaluating the different WA lenses? I used the Tokina ATX-287 for many years and it never failed me. Thus I'm quite tempted to get either the Tokina 10-17mm or the 12-24mm. Any sharing of the 10-17mm...

kcuf2 - thanks for the detailed explanation on metering. Layman like me found it very useful and easy to follow. Excellent!! ((((((((((applauding)))))))))))

Thanks again to cheersjy/knpan/Kit/eikin/michhy/jnet6 for the participation and advice. Usually when I display the picture in 25% or even 50% of the original size, it looks quite alright. Only when I go further up and show it in its original size, then I will experience the not-so-sharp...

Hi Knpan and ihub88, thanks bro for the support and suggestion. I must say that I was able to get some reasonably nice pics with the kit lens. Only when it comes to shooting in low light situation without using flash, then the focus issue becomes a headache. With your assurance given to my...
