Camera talk...

^^ put a piece of toilet paper to defuse ...no offense ... when i took those droplet, used one 14w cfl and 24w cfl covered by toilet paper ...

 

[sujoyp]

yes it works or plain paper can be wrapped around to diffuse

^^ Having spent thousands for camera, few 100's for diffuser won't make a dent... At least up until buying diffuser, this would help.

 

[sujoyp]

yes thats y i bought a Rs200 diffuser...and it works great...its like a cap on flash head

 

[Faun]

Yeah, using makeshift arrangement works too if it's the need of time.

Is this what you guys are talking ?

[sujoyp]

Guys, I have been looking for a non DSLR cam with as large sensor as possible and f-stop at least f/2.8 . He doesn't need interchangable lens cam, a fixed 4x - 8x zoom lens will do. Currently I am having a Lumix DMC TZ10, but he is not happy with its low light performance(due to small sensor and highest f-stop only 3.3). I offered to buy a D5100, but he discarded it cause "dslrs' are bulky". He has good knowledge of photography and is a owner of Nikon FM2 mechanical SLR, and two lenses since 1998. Now he needs a cam with above features. His main interests are low light/night, portrait and landscape. What do you suggest? Budget 25k.

Or, would I open a thread for it?

 

[sujoyp]

u better open a thread....

And check the reviews of nikon j1/v1 which is very small and sony RX100 which is out of ur budget but fullfills all ur requirements ...other then these u only have EPM1+kit

 

[ITTechPerson]

comparing Canon SX150IS with any other, would you guys like to suggest any ?
I have Sony DSC-H100 in mind, though a friend from another thread didn't encouraged.

 

[Faun]

Which one is better, Nikon D3200 or Canon EOS 600D ?

 

[dpkml]

@faun-- I'd say D3200, based on its build quality. IQ on both is similar(i.e.pretty good). Both work fine for a entry level camera.
I would still spend a couple of extra grands and buy D5100 which has D7000's sensor , articulated screen , some cool shooting mode presets,and fits better in my hand.

But hey, dont you have D7000 already?

 

[sujoyp]

D5200 is comming very soon for competing 650D ...and D5100 is the actual competitor for 550D and 600D

U dont judge a DSLR by just its ISO range...for example A D3200 can beat nikon D7000 in pic clarity and ISO but it cant beat it in built,buttons,grip,and features

get 600D if u have only 2 choices ...else u can get D5100 or wait for D5200

Yeah, it's for a friend asking recommendation.

D3200 is still better as per this link.
Nikon D3200 vs Canon EOS 600D
These are the only two choices. I will ask if D5100 can be considered.

I got Marumi circular polarizer for prime lens but for 18-105 Marumi circular polarizer is out of stock.

How are Nisi and Hoya ?

Me too feel the same (as sujoy)... 600D is better.

 

[sujoyp]

D3200 or any D3xxx range is a basic DSLR...D5xxx or 550D or 600D are a level above....they may have better feature...better grip and some features which u may miss later

Hoya is much more popular then Nisi ...but NISI is also a known brand....any of them...

 

[Faun]

Ok, then 600D it is.


Between Marumi and Hoya, which one is better ? I need a circular polarizer 67mm for 18-105 lens.

 

[sujoyp]

get hoya HD for best quality or u can get normal Hoya too...hoya HD is multicoated and much better

 

[mastervk]

Get Hoya multicoated one (not normal Hoya)..There are many fake hoya filters in the market so buy from genuine seller.

Prashant, I thought of asking this in PM. But I couldn't send you one...

Spoiler

Do you have photographs taken to make this one??? If yes, Can I borrow some of 'em?
Thank you...
PS: If it's OK, please do enable your PM.
