Hihi! I'm a newbie to DSLR :embrass: , so would like to ask the experienced shooters out here: Q1) Is there a Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce for SB600? Q2) Are there other flash filters available for SB-600 that will fit and will not drop easily? Q3) What's the difference between Sto-Fen filters...

Buying separate is always better. For a feel of the prices, consider the following: 1) 2GB Kingston SD card - S$40 (I think their "high speed" is only 50X) 2) 30l dry cabinet - S$70 3) Original Nikon EN-EL3e battery - S$80 (u sure they said it's original?) 4) Nikon bag - S$20 5) The rest...

No lah... I meant digicam. I'm so into digital already that I forgot about the good old days of film camera. :sweat:

Tips for bargaining at Harvey (or anywhere else, for that matter): 1) Don't appear as if u can't do without the thing. Tell yourself u can get it elsewhere if they dun give u good $. 2) Do your homework, know the price that authorized dealers are selling it. Harvey guys might tell u that...

FYI, as long as the camera is not DSLR, it'll be classified under compact PnS, and that includes the 8700 and 8800 that I had used. U are rite that u should not have the batteries, etc, rocking together with your camera. The other things might scratch your LCD or your lens (if the cover...

Your 8700 is the compact zoom Nikon Coolpix 8700, rite? I was wondering from your first post why u need to say u have no other lenses, since the 8700 does not allow interchangeable lenses. :dunno: Anyway, the bag is really your personal preference. Store your cards in their original plastic...

Yo Maddyks! Just some more things to consider for u... 1) I'm not sure wat's the price Harvey gave u (is it at RRP of S$2288?) :dunno: , but if u are willing to bargain, Harvey can also match the price of the other shops (wat u have to do is ASK them BOLDLY, not rudely though ;p ). I...

Just my 2cents worth. The short answer is yes, there is a HUGE difference. The reason is because DSLR has a much larger sensor than even the most high end prosumer compact camera, even if the DSLR is only 6.1MP, compared to the compact with 8MP. With a larger sensor, DSLRs are faster in...

CMOS sensors are faster and cheaper to produce, that's why Canon is able to have full frame DSLRs (e.g. Canon 1Ds Mark II, which has a sensor size =35mm film, but costs >S$10k for body only!!!), while Nikon has yet to come out with a full frame DSLR. To me, CCD and CMOS doesn't really matter...

It all depends. If u are not in need (or desperately in want :bsmilie: ) of the camera, then u can CHOOSE to wait. U may CHOOSE to buy immediately also. There's no right or wrong answer. U see, tomorrow's camera will always be cheaper and better, and u can end up waiting indefinitely for the...

Hmm... a few things. First, I would not go for installment if possible. Increases the cost of the camera for no reason. Unless u dun have cash, then bo bian... Second, the guy at Courts probably meant that Nikon D80 uses same sensor as Sony A100 (most Nikon DSLRs use CCDs made by Sony). If he...

Ya, it's brand new price. I got the price from the Nikon Price List. Go check it out. Unless I read it wrongly? :dunno:

:bsmilie: Wahahahaha... u are so rite... I also want the whole range of lenses if my father owns the bank. Even if not used, laying them out and admiring them will boost my ego :lovegrin: . But then, at this point of time, my father doesn't own a bank, and I don't think he ever would, and...

Thanks for the info. To clarify, what I like about the 17-55: from 23mm (equivalent to 35mm on film) to 55mm (equivalent to 83mm on film), good for portraits of 1-3 people, but I also want the range for bigger groups of 5-10 people (e.g. one table for family/wedding dinner ), so 17-23 range is...

IMHO, D70 to D40 would be a "downgrade" in terms of pic quality and lens compatibility. Only reason why someone should change from D70 to D40 is because of the larger LCD, but I don't think it is worth the trade-off. :nono: I would not consider buying a D80 (which is an upgrade), because the...
