Hi, I hope you're recovering well from the broken leg. :) Regarding your efforts in trying to get better exposure and colors from the D200, have you tried the settings in the Shooting Menu / Optimize Image? This submenu gives you options for fine-tuning the color, contrast, sharpness, hue and...

Hi TS, I started with a SB-400 and later added the SB-800. My original intention was to sell the SB-400 after buying the SB800. After some thinking, I have decided to keep the SB-400 for several reasons. It is lightweight, compact, runs on 2 AA batteries and reasonably fast recycle time. It is...

Hey your friend's setup is my target setup in the near future..... :) PM me if he wants to upgrade!! Just kidding.

Hi TS, since your plan is 1 - 2 years down the road, perhaps you need not ponder too much about it now. While it is good to have a plan and start collecting your information, you need not make a decision now, am i right? So, just enjoy the D40 for the next 12 months and by then you will know...

Hi, I would really hope that you would seriously re-consider buying this lens. You are likely to be disappointed later. Without the VR, it is very difficult to get sharp quality on the long end. By that, I mean from 150mm - 300mm. Another consideration is the difference in optical quality...

Your work is simply impressive. I can feel the thoughts being put into each shot. Really nice and enjoyable to view your pictures. You gave us a lot of photographic inspiration too!

Recently I was pondering over this upgrade question as well. In the end, I've decided that the D200 is still a great camera except that its high ISO capability is not as good (or comparable) with D300. The live view and 3" LCD are nice to have but not critical features. So, meanwhile, I am...

Nice work. I like the composition on most of the shots. The PS on #7 is nice!

I have bought the grip from a fellow CSer. Thread is closed.

Oops... I meant to say Sigma EX quality.

This is a APS-c format lens, Sigma's DX quality with HSM. It's a very nice piece of lens.:)

I am using the Tamron 17-50 (with motor). The IQ and performance from this lens is very good. So far no regrets buying it. How I wished Tamron would add the VR feature on this lens. Then it will be the ultimate 3rd party standard zoom lens.

It is advisable to invest only in CF/SD memory cards from reputable brands such as Sandisk, Lexar, Kingston. In the manufacture of memory cards, there are always tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 OEM customers. Reputable brands are Tier 1 customers and their cards are made from the best quality memory...

Hi Lennyl I am going to be in northern CA in October. I will be passing SF, going to Sonoma and Santa Rosa. Can you share with me some nice area to shoot birds. Preferably some place that is nearby 101 North, as I will be driving up from SFO. Are you Singaporean? Thanks a bunch and hope...
