Everything about Digital Cameras II

[ryan_gwapo]

Hindi mo sa online store itetest yung camera. Go to stores that let you try the cameras, go to appliance or electronics stores in the malls, look for friends or officemates or relatives who have similar cameras, kahit same brand lang.

If you have to, pretend that you will buy the camera so they will insert the battery. Ang daming store na ngayon ng digicams. Even Canon and Nikon have their own stores.



Masyado naman yatang exaggerate ang statement mo. The D3100 and 1100D are way better cameras than their predecessors.

Walang bibili at hindi magkakaroon ng successor ang mga entry-level dSLRs kung parehas lang sa P&S ang output nila. Besides, the super entry-level Nikon D40 years ago really revolutionized budget dSLRs. Until now buhay na buhay pa rin ang entry-level dSLR kahit ang dami nang lumabas na Micro 4/3 at kung ano ano pa.

When it comes to low light / high ISO, hindi na kayang tapatan ng P&S ang mga dSLR.

I'm saying it thru experience, I have Canon 550D at yung kabibili ko lang na point and shoot na Sony Cybershot DSC-HX30V. Mas maganda pa ang kuha ng Sony Cybershot na point and shoot. Mas madali pa bitbitin kesa sa DSLR na may ibat ibang lenses pa hehehe. May wifi at gps pa ang Sony cybershot kaya mali yung sinasabi mo na mas maganda ang entry level ng DSLR kesa sa P & S compact cameras.

Sa akin lang, pag nagdecide ka ng DSLR, wag iyong entry level, the least ang Canon 60D or Nikon D90. For me, nagsayang ka lang ng pera pag entry level. Since budget wise, P & S ka na lang kung hinde naman pang business or pro-photography hanap mo.

At Auto/Automatic mode, there will be certain scenarios and situations where a P&S will be easier to use but there are way more conditions where a dSLR will come out on top. Usually this is when the f3.5 aperture limitation of the dSLR kit lens comes in VS the f2.8 aperture of most P&S cameras.

It is however, not impossible to compensate for this. There are ways and settings to be able to take good photos in the said situations. You simply have to experiment with the camera and know which settings to change. If you don't have the time and effort to do so, sana hindi ka nalang nag SLR in the first place. Sayang lang lahat ng features and manual controls kung sa Auto mode mo lang pala siya gagamitin.

I have been using a dSLR (450D) and a very good P&S (S90) side by side. Even in the most perfect lighting condition, hindi pa rin parehas ang quality.

Common sense lang naman ito eh. If P&S cameras are as good or better than entry-level dSLR's, why are camera manufacturers still producing them? Hindi lang Canon at Nikon; even Pentax, Sony and Olympus have entry-level dSLRs. Kung talagang kayang-kaya na tapatan ng mas murang P&S ang mga ito, dapat naphase out na sila by now. Pero hindi eh, bakit kaya?

Naglabasan na rin ang mga NEX cameras, mga Micro 4/3 cameras na supposedly kasing ganda ng SLR, pero nandyan pa rin ang 1100D, ang 600D, ang D3100, ang bagong D3200. Kung talagang pangit ang mga yan at 60D/D90 lang ang maganda, bakit minamarket pa rin siya? Do you think these manufacturers will make products if they don't think people will buy them? Hindi naman sila t@nga para gumawa at magbenta ng cameras na wala naman bibili.

@Monkeydoggie

Masyadong non-sense yung suggestion na bumili ng 60D or D90. Buti nalang hindi ito Pinoyphotography kung hindi baka pinagtatawanan na yan. If you want more opinion and if you want to know if the person above makes sense or not, magpost ka dito:

Thanks. I'm buying nikon3100D over the canon eos 1100d then.

[commoner]

Don't buy without first comparing the 2 cameras hands-on.

Go to stores that let you try the cameras, go to appliance or electronics stores in the malls, look for friends or officemates or relatives who have similar cameras, kahit same brand lang.

If you have to, pretend that you will buy the camera so they will insert the battery. Ang daming store na ngayon ng digicams. Even Canon and Nikon have their own stores.

Ok. Thanks! I'll follow your suggestion then.. Sa tingin mo mas mura ba sa online story like dbgadgets compared sa mayers? sobrang mahal kasi sa mall.

[iamlester]

^Go for San Ramon. You can never go wrong with him/his store.

[eurydiCe]

Meron na bang nakapag try ng GF5 sa inyo? Okay naman ba?

[quark001]

In one of my recent trips, I think my DSLR (canon 450d) got wet
It does still does take pictures but i have no LCD screen.

How much does an LCD replacement cost? Do you think it's covered
by warranty replacement?

Online ka ba bibili nito? Anu ang covered ng warranty.. I think ok na yan! Sa Kimstore and gdbadgets around 21,600 php at the same package.

[Revilo X]

Nagtanong pala ako sa Mayer kanina, mas ok yung price niya:
PHP 21,000.00
may free bag at 4gb na memory card

+300.00 kung gusto ko gawing 8gb yung mc.

Di ko natanong yung warranty, pero malamang 1 year store warranty yun.

Mas ok na yan no?

[iponmuna]

Kaya sabi nga dun kina Mayer/Mang Ramon...magtanong tanong ka muna sa iba bago ka pumunta sa shop nila. sigurado silang competitive ang price nila sa Hidalgo.

Better. Minsan he gave 6months parts and service na warranty then yung natitirang 6month service warranty na lang.

[pipaypeeps]

hi suggest naman po kayo..
I have d40 which is super old! gamit na gamit na and I think she's dying! hahaha!
I need to buy a new prosumer or p&s camera.. which can you suggest?

Thanks a lot!

[commoner]

Ayaw mo na ng dSLR? Bakit?

[Ahura Mazda]

Guys, magkano ba ang Canon EOS 500D?

May nagsasangla kasi sa cousin ko for 30k daw, 4 months used. Good or bad deal ba to? Wala kasi akong alam sa cameras eh.

[iponmuna]

22-28k yung 2nd hand EOS 500D ngayon sa sulit...and those priced at 28k have complete accessories with 2-3 lenses.

Baka hindi na balikan yan dahil sinanla sa mas malaking price yung camera nya.

hth,

Baliw naman yan. That's the price for the latest model 600D already.

Electronics pag sinangla mo sa sanglaan automatic 50% off the real value.

So kung nasa P22k nalang ang 500D (which is phased out already), dapat P10k lang makuha niya

Electronics = Depreciate agad once you buy it. If you give him/her 30k, kumita pa siya sayo kahit hindi mo na ibalik yung camera.
