[kikmeister]

I got my D40x kit for 28k, with 1GB SD card and bag at Henry's recently. I also purchased an SB400 and tripod for 5400 and 800 respectively about a week later. So far im very pleased with my D40x. My friends and co-workers are hands down impressed with the resulting pictures. :thumbsupsmiley:

Oh Damn.

Nevertheless with your advice guyz, I would buy a Canon or Casio.

There's not much you can do to clean the body. If it gets wet, get rid of the liquid with a paper towel, cloth, whatever, etc ASAP. To get rid of dirt, simply wipe it off with a damp cloth. As with all electronic devices, don't use a cleaning solution.

 

Also, don't use any type of liquid or cleaner to clean your lenses. Doing so will only mess up the special coatings on the lens. Use lint free cloth instead.

 

If you start seeing dark spots in your pictures, use a sensor swab. The Photographic Solution brand of sensor swabs is industry standard.

personally, touching/cleaning the sensor using anything is my last resort.

 

before using a sensor swap, check first if you can just blow away dust on the sensor using, well, a blower like this one:

Right. Cleaning the sensor is not something that you want to do regularly. In fact, you should clean it only if you absolutely must. Like what the poster above me said, try cleaning it with a blower first (Giottos Rocket Air Blower is a popular choice). Blowers do the trick most of the time.

 

Sometimes however, static causes dust to attach to the sensor. No amount of blowing will be able to remove dust in that case. That's where a sensor swab will come in handy. Again, I cannot stress enough that sensor cleaning is not a preventive maintenance sort of thing and must only be done when absolutely necessary. Improper cleaning can cause serious (i.e. EXPENSIVE) damage to the sensor.

so excited, i'll be making a purchase very soon! still thinking between the D40 and D40X... anyways, I'm really excited, hehehehe.... :thumbsupsmiley:

mga kamyembro.. puro nikon pinaguusapan ah.. singit ko lng eos400d ano pwd nyo mairecommend na lens? baguhan palang ako gumamit e baka may mga tips kayo

salamat na ng marami

[don5153]

the Nikon d40 currently sells at around 23 to 24k at Hidalgo, may freebies pa usually (SD card, minsan bag). store warranty nga lang.

 

cheapest dSLR on the market today, best for people who are just getting into photography. invest in good lens and then switch to a better body once you're really getting into the hobby.

 

thank you .. will keep this in mind when i buy hopefully within the month

best bargain if you a fast lens

[atenista11]

i was out last night to look for a good camera bag for my d40x, i scanned out several stores in greenhills and settled for a 4 million dollar home (crumpler). very stylish, fits perfect with my camera, an extra lens, and basic accessories. moreover satisfied with what i bought. cost - 2,850.

[christinemerce]

I accidentally dropped my Olympus digicam FE 190,anyone knows a service center for digicam?

[kikmeister]

question: does anyone know where to buy an SDHC compatible card reader like the transcend M5 below??

i totally agree with this. i normally only use a blower, unless there is stubborn dust. if that happens, i use this

 

but only as a last resort. the bristles move, causing static cling, allowing you to remove stubborn dust. :thumbsupsmiley:
