i bought a wireless remote for my D5000 at S$ 14 in funan. the wired one was at S$ 33. no issues so far. here's a quick tip. make sure you aim the front end of the remote to the front of the camera where the AF assist illuminator or to the D5000 logo is located. it is where the wireless...

yup, i do agree with takuyazz....you dont really save when you buy at comex, pc show, it show's at suntec. they just bundle the price with freebies you dont really need. for me, funan is the best place to look for. you can even bargain the price if you just know how to tickle them. their...

at the 85mm focal range the bokeh is good. photozone rated it far better than the 17-55mm though im not saying that the latter is not good. what i mean here is that why settle for a very expensive lens if you can achieve it with a cheaper lens. i would say, dont go for the "macho effect" of...

hmmm...strange huh but i only hear that "squee...squee" sound when im in live view as i half press the shutter button to get autofocus...i think its normal. if not, is your D5000 still in warranty? if so, then go to the service centre and have it checked i read in the manual that to maintain the...
