huh that one not printed copy le. is they test trial the d7000 with kit lens ma.
jpeg anot i dun noe.
but of course own trial v impt too

Bro...I was refering to the subject that was being shot.... the printed card of the 24-120 VR f/4!! Is it not printed material??

 

[kriegsketten]

don't need battery grip la... I got some mild steel plates can use rubber band and tie to underside of camera

Or I can drill a nice countersunk hole and screw onto the tripod mount....

You don't mind scratching the base of the DSLR body isit? :bsmilie: Even so... how to look "pro" with all that rubber band and stuff?? :bsmilie:

Actually, you have a point about using the MB-D80 for shooting portrait modes - easier on the right arm without flapping like a chicken... Never thought about that until you mentioned it, otherwise - no use to me...

 

[quizesilver]

Ah, clearer now... Btw, if you plan to get the 70-200 (either version), chances are you'll need the MB-D80 battery to balance the D90... one selling for ONLY $150 at BnS a few days ago! SOLD!...:cry: But don't want to rush leh... coz dunno when I might switch to D7000.... (that one using different external Bat...) :sweat:

same here. will not get the battery grip yet.

but i dun think i am getting the d7000 anytime soon. getting married next march. dun wan to spend the mola now.

btw if u need extra push to get d7000, go try using d90 and shoot in RAW mode only. then switch to burst mode.
see how fast can d90 go. haha i am sure after that u want to change

Bro... i've been shooting RAW since day one. And I already know how fast D90 can go...

Captured this while machine-gunning the D90...

 

[kriegsketten]

D7000 is only going to be marginally fast (as compared to slower D90)... D300S is faster...

well, it depends on what your motive for the batt grip is. So far I can think of 3 uses:

1) increased weight (better balance)
2) longer batt life
3) ergonomic grip in portrait orientation

If your motive is only #1, then a simple metal plate (same weight or more) screwed into tripod mount will achieve the same thing at a MUCH lower cost. Maybe < $10 I was kidding about the rubber bands by the way :bsmilie:

My needs will be met by 1) and 3) for sure... When shooting kid, I used portrait mode often... given limited room for shooting my elbow might knock into other peep's face... :bsmilie:

congrats!

Ah yes, sorry for being too caught up with the discussions... CONGRATS are in order... soon, no more openly beo-ing XMMs for sure... :bsmilie:

Of course can lah!!! Provided you don't mind incurring the wrath of your partner... Wait next time I see you, it's like seeing the natives of Taiwan or some outback country - ear long long with big hole... :bsmilie:

nicely capture. but isnt that so much slower then using jpg?

btw u bring ur d90 tml?
if yes maybe i will bring along too. want to test the "speed" of our d90.
cause it could also due to the SD card speed

btw u using what lens for this shot??

 

[kriegsketten]

haha i am not a lady killer. how to bio them haha

Thanks =D

Well, for some people, hamsum or not they still would try... (not refering to you hor!) :bsmilie: Anyway, you getting married already, goes to show you two haven't beoing each other already... meaning beo-able... :bsmilie:

Probably is, but I still managed to get the images I want leh! The above is just one of the few I've managed to get good... The power of RAW is that I could tweak it until I happy happy... never regretted that! FPS 4.5 I believe should be based on shooting RAW's speed.

Yes I'm bringing... will wanna test whether my Markins PG-80 plate can fit to D7000 as well or not... And probably need to get generic arca-swiss plate soon (before the session) or else cannot adapt to my ballhead...

Use smaller aperture like f16 or f18 if using kit lens. Will have starburst effect.
