what a great shot.!!!<br>

(let our camera gears be with basic essential features only)</p>

 

<p>before adding that feature nikon should introduce VR function in to one of their DSLR body.<br>

regards</p>

<p>samar i dont know whether the p 90 can accept any separate speed light like sb 400 or sb 600 as there is no hotshoe on top of p90.or ( any remote wireless flash commanding option is available for p90.?no i dont think so)<br>

i will opt for a d60 or d3000 with a faster 50 mm 1.8 lense for better bright indoor pictures.</p>

<p>let me correct <strong>leica D-LUX 4</strong> instead of <strong>digilux 4.</strong><br>

i mean the one with 24-60 mm .f 2-to-2.8 lense .thank you. </p>

<p>after coolpix 8800 it seems that nikon simply drop their tradition of ruggedness and quality package in the field of prosumer digicams.it was actually a gradual decline.<br>

lex ,you know this 8800 still in demand in the used market.(at least in asian countries)<br>

now the growing demand towards micro four thids system is may be one of the sign that all DSLR users<br>

quest for a light wieght package as a back up .<br>

we every one like to see a p&s like leica digilux 4, leica x1, sigma DP 2..or lumix LX3 from nikon.(with keeping in mind all thier pros and cons ).</p>

<p>sorry double entry</p>

<p>for the flash compatibility issues. i can use my old flashes ( example SB28) effectively in non ttl mode with new nikon digicams. but in case of P90 there is no hot shoe even.<br>

i am thankful to every one for the quick responses.</p>

<p>lex actually i was insearch of a good digicam from the nikon line up because i was familiar with their terminology and lay out.<br>

BTW i had few occasions handled the LX3 AND p 90 and G10 .<br>

for my way of shooting i was very impressed with the quick responsiveness and low light performance of LX 3 .<br>

i liked the close focussing ability of old coolpix models -for macro wok( CP5400, CP 4500,CP 5700,CP 995) bu the new cp 6000 or p 90 not matching with them at least in this field.my idea of a prosumer digicam should not be a big zoomer or megapixel racer, or a not a technology packed toy with so many unwanted features instead with a reasonably large sensor and a moderate x focal length with IF .<br>

thanks a lot</p>

<p>this is just to share some thoughts about nikon point and shoots.<br>

currently there is no -'quality digicam ' - from nikon as a back up point shoot !!current models<br>

<strong>cp p6000</strong> or cp <strong>p90</strong> are really crap when comparing with panasonic <strong>LX 3</strong>,OR <strong>canon g10</strong><br>

or <strong>ricoh GR 3.</strong><br>

now even leica introduced thier point and shoot recently<strong>(X1)</strong> along with range finder M9.<br>

as a nikon slr user i myself felt many times that ..nikon should introduce some p&s with<br>

large sensor, 4 or 5x (maximum) zoom lense with internal focus (like old cool pix models), and with<br>

of course image stabilisation. folks ,what do u think?</p>

<p>thank you todd<br>

i was really waiting someone like you to say about 170-500 mm from thier own experience.<br>

i read from the reviews that upto 400 or 800 ISO, D90 will perform very well. so i can shoot bird photos<br>

with this lense moderate higher ISO ..maintaining acceptable quality.(i do believe so)</p>

<p> </p>

<p>thanks a lot to everyone<br>

liegh ... D300 is expensive here in DUBAI.<br>

the prize of D90KIT is equal to sonyA700 kit( a body with image stabilisation ).<br>

this might be a reason why my friend advise me like this.<br>

any how since all of my lenses except sigma 170-500 (BTW ..this also a D type)can meter and AF with D90 its not the time to think about any other system .<br>

i think sb-400 will be a good combination with D90...is in' t it?</p>

<p>thank you <strong>stuart</strong> for the prompt response.<br>

i'll try D90<br>

<strong>JDM von weinberg</strong>...<br>

may be you mean nikon in place of canon.?<br>

thank you <strong>shun, ian, carl</strong><br>

this forum is really great !!</p>

<p>thanks<br>

can i use SB-28 in non ttl auto mode with D-90 OR D-5000 OR the as a slave flsh using the built in speedlight and SU-4?</p>

 

<p><strong>suitably serve</strong>- i mean to say the af capability,metering ability of the film era lenses with digital bodies.thank you. nazir</p>

<p>hi friends<br>

presently i have following f mount lenses AND flash accessories which i am using with n 80<br>

50 mm af (N) f1.8 nikkor,70-300mm f4-5.6 AF-D-ED nikkor, AF 20 mm f 2.8 D nikkor,<br>

sigma AF -D 170-500 mm 4-6.3 .speed light SB-28,SU-4 slave flash controller,<br>

now i want to switch over to digital.<br>

i like to shoot generaly anything from portrait,people,landscape , tele macro so on...<br>

if i buy D-5000,OR D-90 which of the lenses will suitably serve?<br>

one of my friend even advised to sell all these film gear and go to sony alpha system.<br>

to support this he pointed out many things like sony's built in image stabilisation,<br>

live view,prize difference,build quality, ziess lenses,made in japan label etc<br>

any valuable opinion from your side welcome.<br>

childrens shots of cp 4500 and sb 28 speed light and su 4 remote slave controller</p><div></div>

<p>thanks guys .which P &S with a tiltable LCD do you suggest?</p>

<p>the 8 year old coolpix 4500 was perfectly working . due to the very rude handling of my kids it began<br />malfunctioning now ( as the colours become flowing like reddish tones and it seems some serious<br />damage after numerous fallings on the floor.)<br />now i am insearch of a point and shoot camera which can compare or even better than coolpix 4500 in<br />terms of macrophotography.<br />i like to take the macro of very minute flowers, ants ,mustard seeds,fingerprints,spider web and so on.....<br />with the coolpix4500 its very easy to get very sharp macro of all those minute world.<br />i am looking for point shoot with the same ease for these type of purpose<br />no budget constraint,no pixel mania,no zoom mania<br />your valuable opinions please.(<strong>by the way 4500 is not at all available here in U A E used camera shops</strong>)<br />nazir</p>

joel...

 

thank you for me to thinking towards prime(actually i like the primes..but the money is the only obstacle)

 

ranthambore is a unique area to watch tiger but very far from my native place.there are some un official or quite uninformed places near to my village in kerala(southindia)where u can see elephant,bison,and if you are lucky the tiger and leopards also.

grass land shola forests above nelliyampathy hills, karashoori near anamalai reserve are some examples.the nilgiri tahr -a kind of wild goat- near to extinction also there in the grassland sholas..(when i was a student i had taken a snap of this rare mammal around 30 metres away .with my minolta ps).

these are all out of the list of official wild life spots .

but dense green vegetation and unique landscapes...

)(sorry for writing things unconcerned in nikon forum)

regards.

dear friends ...

i am going on vaccation to india coming june.as a serious amatuer my current longest lense is 70-300 mm.af nikkor af.D.ED.my friends told me that this one is not enough to reach birds and wild animals to achieve good close ups.i am on budget so nikkor 80-400 VR or any other nikkor IS out of question now.

is there any one have experience with this lense and how it works with N80.mainly i will use manual focus so sluggish af usually found with this type of zoon lenses does not bother me.the purple fringing at longest focal length with wide aperture also a matter i am considering.please share me your experience with this lense.is there any better option from third party manufacturers with the same price?

 

thanx
