Is the S5 Pro still a worthwhile buy?

care to enlighten me thanks:sweat:

Worst case scenario right?

Probably a 1/4 or 1/8 seconds. Anyway, I have shot at 1/2 seconds in the past without camera shake.

Just like how I did it with this image. Shooting handheld at 1/13 seconds without VR.

way to go man! ups for you photobum.
 

I was trained to be a sniper during my NS days until they discharged me for being too big and tall.


when you lie down you BUTT was too tall and prone to targets???? juz kidding..... btw i owe you a drink. can pm me your hp? we'll take that off line.

sorry for OT.

seriously, i still feel S5 pro is better than D300 despite using both.

True. I look more like a walking target than a rifleman.

By the way, I went to become a combat engineer soon after.

Sorry for the OT.

is it? I wanted to get he D300 but the hefty price even used were 2X more than the s5 pulled me off. . prices have dropped so i thought why not the switch plus when i saw the clouds taken with the fuji they looked 3D that made me say ahHHH!!! and the greens and reds are jsut the right touch. my D80 or even my D40x never even smelled those colors esp Red!!

Hope i will like my new toy. maybe meet up with u and Photobum some day ;)

Have to salute you for that. Heard that snipers and combat engineers are super-tough guys, extremely fit, lots of will-power.

ah...its like that lah. different countries package differently. typically singapore is worse off in terms of packaging and pricing. i remember the US s5 package used to include hyperutility.

btw...i thought locally tamron offers 3 years warranty? i remember selling my 2 yr old tamron 180mm f/3.5 and there was a year warranty left.

Not in Australia or Singapore, by the sounds of it. Those are the two countries we're primarily interested in!

OK, with regards to such a deal it really depends on how much you can trust the other party. While I'd admit there's plenty of good people out there, I'm going to pass on such a deal if I were in your shoes. Understandably you want the S5, probably as badly as he wants your camera. Key is patience. I would only trade if everything was paid for in full.
