Regarding the 3rd party flashes right, only the nissin di866 can be used with the Auto FP function of the D90 right? I have tried the Sb900 on my D90 with auto fp and it was so awesome.

I think there are more 3rd party options than just Nissin. I remember reading somewhere on CS about some Metz flashes also having full compatibility with Nikon's flash system.
 

hey alvin, pricing can always call me up to check. keep the technical qns here :D
 

DX still can be used on FX lah!... Just that there will be serious vignetting issues... but FX bodies should be able to step down their sensor to utilitise the DX lens (low MP will be used). So, it is not "CANNOT" but more like "pointless" since you'll sacrifice MPs to avoid Vignetting issues... The power of F mounts, you decided what you want to do with the lenses... ;) Hence it is a recommendation that you should get FX lenses for FX bodies to fully unleash the former's potentials...with a DX lens, you'll get nice black solid circular border surrounding the image, useless of not, depends on how you view it... lolz

haha bro cool cool :p
 

i'm not sure.. i never read though.. it happens quite recently when i was shooting half way when the battery indicates low batt. luckily i still haf backup battery or else i'm like a sitting duck..

hey bro, i also got this prob.

nikon change 2 pcb. going to collect it later :D
 

Hi all,

Thinking of getting a 50mm for my D90. Considering the nikkor 50mm f/1.8d. Need to ask some questions:
1. I saw on the nikon website that the nikkor 50mm f/1.8d is placed under the FX format section. The D90 is DX format, so will the lens still fit/work?

2. Can anyone give me a sensing on what kind of price I should be looking at? I am purchasing brand new.

Thank you in advance. :)

welcome to the dark side!

"Auto FP is the function that allows flash sync to operate at speeds above 1/200"

chim sia. under what kind of situation will you use it? the lower version of Nissin's flashgun cant do? ie Di622

if shooting in bright conditions and still require fill-flash (eg. outdoor portraits), you might need a very high shutter speed so that you can still use your expensive lens(es) at large aperture (shallow DOF).

hope that helps.

errr... I think it should be under the specs. I'm not a true-blue flashy, so I'm not so knowledgeable in this area.
So far my SB600 has allowed me to shoot at faster than 1/200s, so I think I'm safe :)

thanks, you have been very helpful! ;)
 

After cleaning my viewfinder with a cottonbud, I found some scratches in my viewfinder glass. Do you guys think it's necessary to change the viewfinder?

Right now, my D90 is at NSC for some repairs. If it's not too expensive, I might as well ask them to install a new one for me.

Any advise?

You can enquire on pricing lor...
but if it were me, I wouldn't bother... this won't be the last time your viewfinder picks up a small scratch :)
 

hi guys,

im a newbie here..im planning to purchase a D90 kit this week. i was checking some shops for the past few days hoping to get a low price D90 kit. the lowest price i gathered was $1,050 at simlim square. included in the kit are: kit lense 18-105mm, 8gb memory card, tripod and camera case..my worries are: 1) the price is very cheap compared to the kit their selling at shops like harvey norman, courts, some shops at funan which will cost me $1345-$1,688..it seems odd to me..what is the normal price for D90 nowadays? 2)my friend told me that this shops in simlim squares that sells D90 kit in a very low price could have change some of the freebies.. instead of selling the brandnew one, theyll replace it with the second hand ones..im very worried that i might get into trouble by choosing to buy at a low price than buying at reputable shops like harvey norman and courts where the kit is a bit expensive..

i hope someone can give me a good advice before doing something that i might regret..thank you much..:D
