Fujifilm has not been aggressive in their marketing at least in Spore, that's y. Canon ads r everywhere in the newspapers and TV, their compact cameras models are upgraded so fast like hotcakes coming out of the pan, they do huge product launches and are endorsed by profesional events such as...

I believe it's probably the D90's D-Lighting rendering the white to gray. D90 stretches the tonal range so much so that even when D-lighting is off, the whites do not really appear white.

I bought it from Photocam Electronics City at Peninsula Plaza, just about opposite of Cathay Photo for $710. They don't offer any free gifts. Beware when you buy anything that you are not familiar with the price though, the lady (I presume the boss) tried to sell me a Hoya UV filter for $60+...

I originally wanted to buy the S200EXR, but changed my mind after searching online of its pics. Ended up buying the older 100FS instead hehe, and had a hard time finding it cos most shops have stopped selling it. I believe the 100FS has the best noise reduction control of all compacts on the...

Thanks for the info, should be buying one soon. $$ no enough for a DSLR haiz....this looks like a good alternative with its good NR and wide DR:D

I was very confused also initially when I started exploring DSLRs, but I got the picture after going through a few websites. Field of View (FOV) is basically how wide and how long your photo covers, which is about the camera's sensor size. APSC DSLRs have smaller sesnor sizes compared to the...

Just guessing......perhaps a viewfinder magnification of 1.3x instead of 1.3x crop sensor? This plus the 100% FOV viewfinder would make it the biggest ever viewfinder in the APSC class, and the most comfortable to use. Professional photographers will definitely appreciate it, reduced eye strain...

I hope he will bring them in.....if Pentax is still producing it....

I see...thanks! It seems like this lens is hard to find nowadays, which from what I read is a full frame surviving lens. http://www.photozone.de/pentax/123-pentax-smc-fa-35mm-f2-al-photozone-review--test-report It is not even on the Pentax lens development roadmap:(...

Thanks tons:D The list over here http://www.pentaximaging.com/camera-lenses is not complete...... Btw is the 35mm f2 a metal body construction also? Does "AL" labelling mean Aluminium?

This lens is not displayed on Pentax official worldwide web. The closest is the 35mm f2.8 Macro limited, which costs 700USD. I have no intention to lump all primes together as 1 pricing, what I am driving at is from the Pentax's web there's hardly any prime lenses priced below $500, and that's...

A 35mm or 30 mm prime lens priced below $500. The current equivalent models are too expensive. Nikon recently came out with the 35mm f1.8 at an affordable official price of $400, street price would be cheaper. They realised the need of the APSC group, which the majority are, and the 50mm does...

K200D Kit for the moment, in the future the DA* 50-135 lens. Price wise? As long as it is considerably cheaper than the 2 big brothers out there.

It's good to hear from the distributor itself from the forum, it will never happen for Canon & Nikon haha. Really adds a personal touch. I have been toying with the idea of a dslr since a long time and have done many studies on both the brands, almost to the point of buying the Nikon D90 since...

wa seh good analysis....must have come from a business background:thumbsup:
