Hi, Just wan to do a check. Sorry to OT a bit. I just bought a 30L DigiCabi from Carrefour at $99 with a free dry box (silicon) included. Inside there's 1 tray, which means that I can put my stuff in 2 levels. Each tray require 4 metal clips to support them but in my box, I found 10...

I got my D40 last Friday at AMK Courts for $1088. It comes with the kit, bag, tripod, 40GB camera partner and 1GB SD card. Quite a good deal, but I understand that demand is high. They ran out of stock and ordered 5 sets but in the end only got 1 delivered to them. I was luck enough to get that...

Personally prefer a mixture of black and orange. Not really keen about the white base cos not 'sud' enough and get dirty/stained easily. Just my personal views, no offence meant to the designers and suggesters. Perhaps can also consider a dark base but not necessarily totally black. Can be...

Sorry to deviate a little bit. Went to 3:16 to research a bit on my choice of DSLR (D40 vs D50) this evening and met this guys who gave me very good advice. To cut a long story short, the question raised to my mind is whether to get a good PnS camera ($800-$900) or a cheap DSLR (D40 at $1k)...

Was away for the weekend and did not see the Courts ad until today. Went to Courts AMK to ask about the D40. For anybody interested to know, they don't display it. So don't be surprised if you can't find it. When I asked the staff at the counter, I was told they have plenty of stock and the...

OIC, so the logic is like the following #2 = 70-300 AF lens = $300 #3 = #2+ED = Additional $445 #1 = #3+"-S"+VR = Additional $254 Bloody tau tia! :confused: Don't fell like spending $1,488 on a kit, but also don't feel like spending $999 on a lens! This one I suppose views are subjective...

Shortie, thanks for the compliments! This happened some 20 years ago and I'm surprised it still left such a vivid impression in the deep corners of my mind even now. Perhaps that's what they call emotional baggage. Must learn to let go and move on. Anyway, I'm also considered a newbie as I...

Hi again, I went to Nikon website and did the sums based on my long term plan for a DSLR with kit lens and a 70-300mm zoom lens. Not likely I'll go for a fish eye or other lenses, but who knows. Below are some of the zoom lens that I found: #1 AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED...

Not sure whether this story is relevant to this thread: Back in secondary school, I developed this interest in photography and decided to join the photographic society in school. Problem is I don't have a camera. So I went through a full year of Saturdays in classroom being taught about...

Hi to all, I personally think digital is the way to go for the future as there are simply too many advantages (to me) in digital compared to film. So I really can't see myself going back to buying rolls of film. Thanks for the warning on proper storage. For my old camera, we simply bought...

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Agree that my old body and lenses is probably a bit too lao kok kok to be of much use. Can probably serve as a toy for my son who seems to love taking photos also. Think I'll go for the D40 and will do it sooner rather than later. Don't think I can survive...

Help! I switched to a digital point-and-shoot camera some 2 years and recently started rekindling my interest in SLRs. So I dug out my 6-yr-old Nikon F60 which I haven’t touched for almost 2years. The battery is still working (at least it's indicated as full), but when I pressed the shutter...
