Raymond Ngu 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2005 Oh oh, another one joining the dark side....... Later when your shutter start to act up don't regret it okay... Radzi, Come on, it's not that bad lar. Both Nikon and Canon are good, it only depends on your own preference, right? Just like BMW vs Mercedes, both are excellent. Yup....Olympus... Imran, At first i also consider Olympus E300, but after seeing my friend's photos from the E300, i give on it. The image quality is really an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Lim 1 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 Andrew, Same camera as mine How do you regard it as to aircraft-photography ??? 1192[/snapback] What a coincidence eh... The S304 has really slow shutter speed and i cannot find a way to speed it up. Thus I think it's a terrible camera for aircraft photography, unless your snapping at static ones. The picture quality is pretty good though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 Andrew, That's my opinion as well: keep on moving with the "subject" even after pressing...tele abilities are quite good as well Love the light weight of the camera and the long lasting batteries ! Excellent camera for "fixed" holiday pictures, however, now saving for a D70 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fitri Shukri 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2005 Don't any of you misses the good old days of film? Sometimes I'm pretty darn near to purchase that old NikonF3 with just a simple 50mm lens and load it with Fuji Velvia 50. Because that was how i started photography, with my uncle's F3 with 50mm lens and slide film and a walkaround KL. And I'm still amazed at the photos I produced. On a side note, the Canon AE1 is also an excellent one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norman 1 Report post Posted July 12, 2005 Yeah Fitri, I still remember the AE1... tucked somewhere in my mom's place Failed shutter...sob...sob... And using film... you're not so crazy at pressing the shutter and let shlep..whirr..shlep..whirr..shlep..whirr..

Radzi 2 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 Of course I still remember my Minolta X-700 with the 50 1.7, Vivitar 24mm 2.0 and of course my old trusty 100-300 5.6 Minolta MD. And then the Maxxum 9000 with 28-85, 70-210, 50 1.7 and 135 2.8.... lost in a flash flood in Sungai Buloh 10 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rozhan 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2005 At about 50 sen per shot, that is a fast way of spending money. 2489[/snapback] True But I try not to be too generous releasing the shutter release. It took me years building my small kit and it would be a waste to let it idle away, and too 'sayang' to sell off. I have the 24mm 2.8, 28mm 2.8, 50mm 1.4 and 80~200 4.0., some of them legendary optics during their time. I'm not very happy with the current new digital prints as they do not do justice to the resolving power of the lenses. Photo labs using older analog machines are slowly fading away. So I continue shooting slides, with the occasional print film. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
