D90 User Group (Thread III)

[notsoclever]

And i'm second! When i get my D90 next week haha.. actually most of my female friends with DSLRs are using D90 too

My girl less the 3 yrs old and dun think can add too much weight on the F.

But guess the rest of you and ur female friend can. ;p ;p

If u shoot RAW, the noise reduction doesn't apply. ISO 1600 is usable if you just post online not making a huge print. Simply apply reasonable amount of noise reduction in photoshop.

New D7k is definitely better in terms of ISO since it has newer tech

Ytr those shots are in RAW. Maybe all cannot sit still and eat and talk non-stop, that why produce so more noise. hahahaa :bsmilie::bsmilie:

Well, I don't want to rain on your parade, guys... AND gals (boy, that's a refreshing moment - to actually use that word here :bsmilie. But best to stick to serious topics here and get your butts over to D90 TCSS over at Kopitiam, where we all can chat merrily and type till ours fingers bleed! :bsmilie:

thevintagelady, please invite your friends on board so that this D90 group can finally be universal and whole! If your friends and you have questions and doubts relating to D90, feel free to pop those questions here where the more experienced can help. Otherwise, if your friends are the experienced kinds, please welcome them to help us out! And if you guys...urm gals wanna loosen up with casual, non-conforming topics - we would certainly welcome you at the Kopitiam section! So c'mon, peeps! Don't just get active here! :thumbsup: Remember... the mods are watching... :sweat: Keep the moderately serious tones here while let our lunacy loose at Kopitiam, okay?

Quite sure its the reflection that cause the 'glaring'. Or Kit lens CMI.

Read about filter that can block UV. Is UV part of this glare??

Nikon or Nissin?? Must really get flash for nite shots. 1sec?? My little girl can't even sit still for 1/2 a sec. wahahaa :bigeyes::bigeyes:

Seriously, ISO1600 I wun use even again on my D-90.

So D7k or those high-end camera will perform better den D-90 on high ISO? I think so ya...

I've used even 3200 for D90 and D300s. I felt it is very usable if you know how to handle it.

ISO1600 is definitely usable... if you print to 4R, you will not see the noise much anyways.

What looks good enough on the 3 inch... sometimes just isn't! Already remember to zoom in close to double check... If portraiture... zoom in on the eyes...

Hi all,

After much deliberation, I got a D90 over the weekend. Was sorely tempted by the D7000, but in the end had to ask myself if the extra features were worth the $500+. Had to honest and admit for most of them it was more a case of want than need. So in the end I got a Sigma 30 f1.4 to accompany it, and boy is that combo sweet!

how much did u got it? and where?

Is zoom 100% meant zoom to the smallest point in the photo like those posted here to chk sharpness etc??

this is kind of what i would like to find out too..

what post or picture you referring to? Able to give me the link to see?

As you zoom in, the subject will look big and sharp but that is provided in what condition you are shooting in.

Sorry for the weird inclusion "Already" in my message - dunno where that came from...:dunno:

What I'm trying to say is, do a check on your D90's 3-inch screen carefully first before calling it a day (on the spot). Not coming home and then find out too late that it's not good enough. On the 3-inch screen, I usually zoom in until close enough maybe enough to see the whole eye on 3-inch (depends on how far is the subject)...no need to zoom all the way in. That would be pointless and you'll see all the fine dots and pixies having a party (nothing will be sharp at that level, too micro already)... Roughly about 4 to 3 levels before the final zoom level should suffice. Like I've said, if the eyes are sharp (try checking for both eyes, if not the closest eye) your portraiture shoot more or less can be called a day... Then of course, this maybe considered pixel peeping already. Sometimes, if it looks sharp at 5th level of zoom, it is probably good enough for a sharp 4R print. ZCA and DD123 (die almost typed BB123) please correct me if I'm wrong. But we all aim to go sharper close to the 4 to 3 level of zoom from the 3-inch LCD, right? Yes, at 100% zoom on your PC screen as well.

To crop at 100%.... check at what percentage the image is being viewed at first... when you see 100% viewing (should be indicated somewhere on top for most softwares), you start cropping the area that you have moved into (using "hand" icon). Normally at 100%, the image (provided you use the largest format provided by D90) is going to be much much bigger than your screen size... Normally, we set our PC screen at 1280 X 1024 (or thereabouts)... The largest format on D90 is shot at 4288 X 2848 (uncompressed 100% resolution). Do the math, how is that going to fit into 1280 X 1024 screen without making the image smaller than 100%? :bsmilie: So when we start viewing the image at 100%, naturally you won't see the whole 4288 X 2848.

what is mentioned above is correct. what i normally do before i call it a day is i will zoom on the spot to where I usually focus on. To make sure its still sharp and clear. when you hit the "+" sign on your D90. the most 2 times. It should still remain quite sharp. If just one click you seem blurr. Confirm got movement or never focus properly..

Hi guys.

sorry but I am rather particular about small little things.

regarding the rubber cover covering the usb ports and etc, does the middle part always pop out for your d90?

For the 8 months I owned it? Never.

quizesilver is right. There's a 'catch' so tt you can open it.
