oh no ... u should not let yr equipment restrict yrself from anything , esp yr ideas ... having a advance piece of equipment will only make one life easier but if u depend on it too much then is more like yr equipment is controlling you ( like producing sharp , contrasty , good exposure shots but nothing else special , meaningless ) . Its better for u to understand yr equipment well and know how to make the best out of it rather then feeling restricted by anything else . U should never ever feel restricted otherwise frankly speaking its hard for u to go over the border.

I am just like you , learning just like each and everyone of us learn the different way with different steps ... one gd way to learn is to never give up despite any failure and continue to work towards yr ultimate goal , its only when u shoot more , learn , feel and inspire from those top notch photographers work then u will improve . Think of it in this way even if u got expensive pro equipment but u are not using it and keeping it at home what will you get at the end of the day ? You should be happy that u started with a decent digital camera ... most of us here i believe started purely on flim and i still remember that time i was shooting like 20 + rolls per weekend and sometime i would even spend my meals on the flim developing itself and ended up eating bread .

so bro , have a expansive mind not expensive equipment . Just my 2 cent advice :)

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I support your points..
hope to learn more from you......

For FZ-20, the problem at night is that you can't see what you are shooting. You have to try to indentify the object or building.

yea tat's 1 of them.. the viewfinder is like damn dark lor... n u have to keep on trial n error sometimes to get the exposure right.. n sometimes by then the shot u wan is already gone... esp if taking with flash :what:
or maybe i'm juz too noob with it.. haha

hmmm why is that so CSM? Its not really that dark and I thought it has quite a fast lens? :)

sry for digressing.. wat's CSM? :what: :dunno:

CSM = Company Sergeant Major ( those that went tru ns will know that )
 

John Teoh said:
That is because FZ-20 is using a electronic view finder. It is quite weak when come to low light.

yea yea.. it's an electronic viewfinder... tat's y sometimes it's really dark n i have to use AF instead of focusing myself... n this will most of the time fool the camera in where to focus...

Actually I have tried it before and I thought it was pretty decent for a prosumer to start off with. ;) Nvm when all else fails, you can BUY BUY BUY :bsmilie:

it's pretty decent for a prosumer i agree... but i dun have the cash to BUY BUY BUY! :cry:
