Nobody likes McDonald's flavour bursts cones? $1 oni ya know? I regular treat myself these... ~~~

Apparently in Australia, those aren't made of ice-cream, but rather some combination of pig fat and ____ (unknown).
Hence not allowed to be labelled "ice-cream", so labelled "soft serve" instead.

I thought it is frozen yogurt? Pig fat is more expensive than yogurt u know...

I just learn that you can do bracketing mode for White Balance as well as Active-D Lighting... I have only used Exposure bracketing mode previously.. so ignorant of me.. LOL and Nikon is so advance ..

how does these 2 bracketing mode works?

Yo CT - as the mode name suggest: For one, you can set the different white balance (different K for the x number of shots you are bracketing).. [only effect the JPG images]
the ADL is similar to the shadows/highlights option in PP.. this is Nikon on the camera version.. so ADL bracketing means you can capture x no of shots with different ADL settings.. [in the camera, i think it does a non-linear sampling at the Analogue-to-Digital conversion stage]

To get the poison thread jump started.... AF-S 50mm f/1.8 anyone?

But you can change those easily if you shoot raw. And you know for sure image is exactly the same. Unlike bracketing ...

Hi Scubagolfer, for white balance bracketing.. you are right, no use. As it work only on JPEG image..

For ADL bracketing - Not sure. I think people who has those cameras can experiment more.. if the change is done by tweaking the non-linear sampling at the Analogue-to-Digital conversion stage.. it will effect the raw files as well...

At the end of the day.. A better-captured image will mean less work required at the "darkrooom stage" and that is my rule/style ( when possible )

Same thing, just tt silent AF and faster? This lens has no G at the back. Does it mean tt the aperture ring is still there?

dunno leh... heard that it's made from pig fat... i cannot confirm nor refute this information

haahahaha not for me.
Unless:
1) AF is faster (not that I really need more speed)
2) bokeh is better (hmmm... perhaps perhaps)

If they intend it for the entry cameras to use, then I'm not so certain. I mean... I'm sure it'll still sell, but as was the case with 50/1.8AFD and D80/90/300 pairing, DX users will likely find 50mm to be too narrow a FOV for most shots.
Most people got 50/1.8D coz it IS the cheapest fast prime out there.
But really, it's so much more useable with an FX cam as a general purpose lens...

I don't think so leh, bro.
Active D-lighting, from the effect I've seen, seems to mimic the "Fill Light" option in Lightroom, or effectively pushing the shadows portion of the curve upwards.

But there are a heck of a lot of JPG shooters out there, so these features will certainly come in handy.

The "Fill Light" option is the same as the "Shadows/Highlights" option in PS.. which is pushing shadows portion up/highlights portion down.. or is "Fill Light" only pushing shadows portion up?...

As to my reply to Scubagolfer.. it is with regards to those shooting in RAW... if you shoot in RAW, the WB-bracketing can be done in PS.. but the ADL-bracketing if affect RAW files will not be something that can be replicated in PS.

If you shoot in JPG... all the bracketing options will be useful

Oh ZCA.. FYI
tweaking the non-linear sampling at the Analogue-to-Digital conversion stage.. (is the HARDWARE version) = ""Fill Light" option in Lightroom, or effectively pushing the shadows portion of the curve upwards" (is the SOFTWARE version)

The hardware version can do more, since it is done at capture time.

I know... but I'm under the impression that Active D-lighting is a software processing step (like shadows/highlights and fill light), and not the hardware feature you're talking about. Hence I think it's not so applicable. I dunno, I could be wrong. Any literature about Active D Lighting to confirm/refute this?

IIRC active D lighting only affects jpeg.

ya that's what i understand too...
this 'Active D Lighting BRACKETING' sounds kinda unnecessary.

Ok la, many pros still shoot jpeg.
