mason_rod Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 i think olympus is using a different lens/mount compared to sony. you might be referring to konica-minolta which sony already acquired. right, due to heavy financial losses, Konica- Minolta has transferred their camera production to Sony. No wonder Sony is making good cameras nowadays. Quote Link to comment

urtooclose Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 32K with CDSC warranty. Mahal pa rin pala. I am not sure how much it was before pero parang nasa late 20K. I could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment
jaberwocky Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 mahal pala sa pinas Nikon D40. Its around HKD4.5K here. If you'll get the extensions, maybe it'll cost you around HKD1K.. Overall, around PHP25K.. From what I've read here, price in the PHI is more expensive by PHP7K. Quote Link to comment
Gideon Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Mahal pa rin pala. I am not sure how much it was before pero parang nasa late 20K. I could be wrong though. D40, Mayer Store. P29,000 (last JUNE 2007) May kasama ng extra lens (long optical zoom) and camera bag. Quote Link to comment
calistoga Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 wouldn't the Automatic setting in a DSLR be the same as making the camera a Point and Shoot camera? wouldn't be like getting a kia for a daily 15 minute drive where a benz can expensively serve the same purpose? most DSLR cameras are typically 2 to 3 times the cost of PnS cameras but a technoquack like moi needs marquee brands and models to enhance our pogi status. what then would be a more econimical brand and model but adds bragging rights to be carried around?

penguin0109 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 D40x user din..napabili lang dahil sa promo.. at goyo ng seller.. i recently bought a SB-800 speedlite flash kasi i liked he feature that u can use the flash remotely..kaso nde mo mamamaximize yung capability dahil D80 lng may ganung feature.. kaya haaay.. pero sabi nga ni kenrockwell wla sa camera yan... suggestion lang sir-- AFAIK the SB-800 can act as a Flash commander to other Nikon speedlights. if you don't want to waste your flash investment, get a SB-400 (less than 6k at Hidalgo). use the SB800 on your body and set it on commander mode-- this will trigger the SB-400 as well. instant I-TTL Flash system :thumbsupsmiley: You do need to verify this though, as I've tested this with an SB-800 and SB-600 setup and it works marvelously. hopefully it works with the SB-400 Flash as well.

aspirecaptured Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 One more thing...what is the kit lens mostly good for? What setting would be best? landscapes(not exactly)to portraits.. 18-55mm is the range.. If you can wait,buy the VR kitlens if the price gap is not that far.. :cool: and Nikon kit lens just got better-- the next batch of 18-55 lenses will come with VR :thumbsupsmiley: Exactly...

fry Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) Unless you're into taking a lot of pictures in low light, a VR feature in the 18-55mm range is actually not that important as you can use slower shutter speeds in within that focal range anyway. Remember, the lowest hand-holdable shutter speed you can use is reciprocal to your focal length. (i.e. you can shoot at 1/18th sec with a 18mm lens, or in the case of Nikon's 1.5x crop factor - 1/27th sec.) VR only becomes a big deal feature in the telephoto range (70mm and beyond), not so much in wide angle lenses. Also, VR lenses significantly cost more than their non-VR counterparts, that's also another thing to consider. Edited November 23, 2007 by fry Quote Link to comment

urtooclose Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Haha nabili ko na ang Nikon D40, so the story ends there... Ok naman siya pero still trying to learn from it. Dami na controls and possibilities to think of compared sa previous P&S cams ko. No I don't think I got the VR lens. What is it about anyway? Quote Link to comment
