no DSLR camera allowed in F1 races ?

[night86mare]

Bring ultrazoom prosumers. Not DSLR what, focal length over 200mm also. Up til almost 500mm also have. :devil:

image quality not so good

got iso limitations, got maximum aperture limitations

they won't worry about your images

got nice clean sharp ones from their photographers versus your noisy, grainy ones.. no contest leh :nono:

 

[redstone]

then it wun be sharp then... once pns cam goes in digital zoom..pics wun be as sharp..its the optical zoom that matters...

Yup... i'm talking about optical zooms.

Oly SP500, 380mm
SO550, 506mm
SP560, 486mm
Samsung Pro815, 20mm

etc... :devil:

15X optical zoom is already 465mm equivalent... Sony H50!!!

 

[DewaKarma]

i think the 200mm is refering to the lenght of the lens :think:

thats 20cm bro...:sweat: even ur canon 70-200mm is more than 20cm in length...

eh...sony has 15x optical zoom ah? wahh..shiok man...now we r talking...:devil: .. i wonder sony R1 is gd enough...

 

[Lenscapes]

wah..they really gonna check ah? a 2x tc will be good on a 200mm prime lens...i believe they worry that ppl will bring big lenses that can obstruct other ppl views..if its only the size..i wonder can bring in 500mm reflex lens..its small though :think:

Gaffer ur 500mm reflex..they don' t know..lol

 

[eow]

BUY PANASONIC FZ18, 18x zoom, can take video some more

well, is equiv angle of view but not the actual focal length... actual should be somewhere ard 70mm only, so basically it still sit nicely under the <= 200mm rules...

soon a casio P&S can shoot 60fps @ 6MP. Sure can get something in that 1 or 2 secs. ;p

[DewaKarma]

Ever since the H7 and H9 bro... Long time already...

 

[ArcticFox]

Anyway, what do they mean by 200mm? After 1.6 crop sensor or as indicated in the lens?

On the lens.

 

[ArcticFox]

Woo, that's not too bad. 200mm on a 1.6x crop sensor camera would be 320mm. But, I am not very happy with the tripod rule. No tripod, monopod (with 3 legs) lor!

With a olympus dSLR and a 200mm lens, it would be 400mm!

 

[paradigm]

Gaffer ur 500mm reflex..they don' t know..lol

:devil: Gaffer and then typeface it "100mm" :devil:

mine! I'm evil :devil::devil::devil:

All telephoto camera lenses must have a focal strength of greater than 200mm.

If this is not a typo, cannot use any lens less than 200mm leh.
