Digital Cameras


Recommended Posts

Actually, I am putting something together. Those four thirds system lenses seem to be just as good but yes, the imaging chip is also a factor. Two friends and I are getting together to do comparative shoots on a Canon, Nikon, Lumix, and the Leica D3. I'll be posting our output here.

 

Does anyone know if someone uses a Sigma SD14 in Manila? Those Foveon imaging processors are supposed to be the best digital imagers because they have three separate imaging surfaces for red green and blue instead of the matrixed and extrapolated pixels of the single surface Jap cameras (including the D3 which is after all, a very slightly altered Panasonic).

 

But don't get me wrong. I still like the caché of using a camera with a red dot. Between us 'girls' I can act like a new age Henri Cartier Bresson. Of course, I'm not fooling anyone but myself, but hey we're all entitled to our own little idiosyncrasies.

 

Please do post the comparative shots here or sa shutterbugs thread. Do you plan on getting Fuji Sample shots too... The Fuji S5 has the new Supper CCD SR II which they say has marked improvement in tonal range and even outshines the Nikon D200. I would have volunteered my S2 pero but it's the earlier generation Supper CCD Sensor and I'm not local to Manila currently. I'm looking into getting my 2nd DSLR and my dilema is choosing between the S5 and the D200... I already have quite a number of F-mount Nikkors so I realy don't have much choice than these 2 bodies.

 

Di ko sure ang D40X, pero ang D40 P29,000.

 

May kasama ng extra Sigma lens yun at 2 gb memory card.. Sa Mayer ka bumili, para makatipid ng husto.

 

Pareng Gideon, I heard you're getting ready to plunge into the DSLR world! Well, best of luck bro and do post pics (PnS or DSLR ) for all to enjoy as well sa Shutterbugsthread as well. Looking forward to seeing your photos bro! Cheers!

Thanks again to all your suggestions guys. This thread is definitely a lot of help. :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Looks like we're mostly set on the Canon Ixus models, but even the Ixus line has a lot of choices. Im hoping to find time to head over to Hidalgo soon. Any particular shop that I should visit first?

Have you seen the Warning from Canon Marketing Phils. printed on Philippine Star today, regarding the unauthorized importation, sale, distribution and/or disposition of Canon Products.

 

Looks like Canon Phils are hurt by the low prices that Hidalgo shops are selling canon cameras.

Yup, mukhang affected sila. Kahit na may official warranty sila at free memory cards...people still go to Hidalgo.

Ang laki naman kasi ng price difference eh. :blush:
