san po kaya mas mababa sa price...kasi sa kimstore lan ang alam ko meron kaya ikaw na alam??

[cameltoe]

would go for t3i or 600D considering its body has a motor.

[eaRthRideR]

Canon 60D

walang motor ang bodies ng canon. lahat ng motors nasa lens kaya tawag EF lenses "electro-focus"

[yahxx2]

Canon 550D for me..

for me lang ha..

canon is not choosy when it comes to 3rd party lens, all of its motor is built in sa lens.. EF.

[peeves24]

hmm i beg to disagree. nikon is more lens-friendly even to older and really older lens models.

i will go for canon because its budget friendly but damn sony for catching up so fast, i might even sell my nikon setup for the latest sony dslrs

yehh eto na talaga magiging signature cam ko haha

[nerobin]

pero my ef din nmn ang nikon e.

kaylangan talaga brand new?
d90+kitlens,
or d40 + primes,
di ko gusto output ng nikon DX000 series, specifically d3000,d3100,d5000.
siguro bad copies lang yung mga pinapagamit/pinapatest sakin before,
and magandang copy lang ng d40 and d90 yung nagagamit ko,
d550 ok ok lang, feeling ko di honest yung output ng d550 in terms of color rendering kahit manual iset yung whitebalance,
pati yung ibang parameters related sa color outputs.
pero ang ok sakanya sharp parin kahit kitlens lang,

im a canon user, in some point i agree with you sir specially with the color difference of 550D with nikon , i compared it with D5000, iba yung color.. im just adjusting it in lightroom.. pero ang advise naman saken calibrate daw ung color sa custom settings, but for me it cant be applied to all photoshoot eh.. default at lightroom edit nlng.

[tejadster]

nasa preference naman ng tao yun when it comes to color. okay daw ang canon kase mas okay ang range ng colors pagdating sa editing. nung naka 50 1.8 ako dati wala ang pangit ng kulay hindi ako satisfied gusto ko nang itapon yung camera ko. pero nung nag L na ayun! minahal ko na ulit camera ko 

[ddefy]

http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon-600d-vs-Nikon-D5100
P35k? d5100 or 600d plus speedlight/flash, kung marami ka friends nka nikon, choose nikon, vice versa if canon, so you can ask them question/tips and mahiraman ng mga lens/accessories  ,
also if your more into video, choose canon

try to look these two cameras, d90 or nex 5n

hassle lang talaga minsan kung diretcha upload na lang or tago sa stash, kaylangan pa baguhin yung color render

sa camera ko naman dati 50 1.4 na old lens, pag trinansfer na sa laptop kala mo dumaan na sa instagram hehe,
nagsisisi talaga ko bat ko pinakawalan yun haha, fun lens din and maganda sa video,
yup minsan may binabagayan din yung color render ng canon and preference din talaga,
mas bias lang talaga ko sa natural na kulay parin yung tipong pag nakaprint na yung file tapos dinikit sa subject halos natural parin yung dating in terms sa color hehe,

[analogic18]

noob question sir?anong tawag po sa ganitong kuha...malinaw yung subject tapos malabo yung likod...kaya ba ng compact camera ito like canon s95 or nikon p300?

[yngwie09]

auto focus.

[coy_2cute]

It's a photography technique called controlling the Depth of Field (or DOF)

You achieve this quality by controlling the depth of field, which is the front-to-back zone in the frame in which objects appear sharp. When little else but the main subject appears sharp, that’s known as “shallow” depth of field. When the image is sharp from front-to-back, that’s known as “deep” depth of field.

In this case, the pictures are taken with "shallow" DOF. Notice the subject / foreground is much sharper that the rest of the image.

[gainsucker]

You need high quality lenses, with really wide apertures to get this effect. Pwede rin sa point and shoot ito, as long as you can control the aperture. Try checking the thread Bokehlicious

[yahxx2]

Depth of Field po yan.. to make it simple to understand, this is a effect that happens between your subject (or where the AF is focused) against the nearest and or farthest objects in a scene.

sa madaling salita ito ay nag bibigay ng separation effect sa inyong subject mula sa kahit anong bagay na malapit O sa Pumapalibot sa kanya..

malaking factor dito ang pag gamit ng AF (autofocus) sa manual mode, meaning ung manual setting para ma-select ang tamang region of focus point.. ibig sabihin ituturo mo sa lens mo ang gusto mong focusan nya.. the effect happens when you half-press it on the shutter then the dept of field will automatically appears as your lens separate the subject from what is close or that surrounds it.

Ang focal lenght or haba ng distance ng lens mo from Point A(mm) to Point B(mm) also affects the DOF,

on the other hand BOKEH is different naman, kasi ito ay art ng non-focused light subjects.. you can compare them in pictures that you can search in the net.
 

[yahxx2]

in my opinion i cant suggest Sony NEX camera.. even LUMIX.. why?
where are you going to buy the lens?.. even if there is one its expensive and choosing it as a amatuer and having the potential to upgrade is not convinient.
for me its only nikon or canon, canon or nikon.
lets start with the lens.. canon and nikon can be used both 3rd party lenses.
they are both available as in everywhere.
plus factor the percentage of the users online that you can lean on when you want to ask something about it. 

[shadowsilk]

My friend who plans on buying a DSLR this week asked for my help in choosing a camera. Her budget is 40k. I don't really have experience in DSLR's (digicam lang ginagamit ko) kaya patulong mga master.

Nagsearch ako at ang lumabas na pasok sa price range ay yung Nikon D5100 at Canon EOS 550D. Alin po ang prefer ninyo dun sa dalawa?

Maraming salamat!

Anyone here familiar in Final cut pro?

I have final cut pro installer, i entered the serial but it doesn't work.

do you have any idea where can i find another serial? is it possible?

Thank you guys

[yahxx2]

Which is Better YN 565EX or Nissin Di866 MkII?

Im using a canon 550D, tanong lang ano pong maganda sa dalawang flash?
kasi ung youngnuo daw 1-2months most warranty eh yung nissin naman 1yr.
pero sa mga naka gamit na po ng mga flash na ito ano pong mas ok?.

[haxo55]

nabasa mo na to sir?
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1108072
in my opinion i'll go with nissin di866mkII,
para sakin mas reliable siya, sabay kasi kami bumili ng flash ng utol ko, sakanya di622 sakin yungnuo na lower model di ko matandaan, and ayun minsan nagmimisfire na siya di kagaya nung nissin ng kuya ko na pag talagang drain na yung battery
saka lang sumasablay.
kung di issue ang budget sa choices mo nissin di866MKII na,
nakapagtry ka na ba ng mga flash ng canon?

yes it's possible..  pero syempre illegal!

[CeL1916]

Nikon user ako eh.. okay naman!

okay yung nikonD5100 merong swivel LCD

yung Canon EOS 550D naman lamang sa pixel 18MP at alam ko mas maraming service centers ang canon..

kung tungkol sa photography quality naman.. okay naman to pareho..
