[Rectifier]

Saan or anong shop po dito sa manila/q.c maraming choices ng NIKON digital camera syempre low price sana

[raginghormones]

Edit : ok na sir tnx na search ko na tungkol sa hidalgo

[toinkking]

first, buy your camera at Meyer in Hidalgo. the man has the lowest prices.

being a hobbyist without my own camera, here are my suggestions to you.

canon 550d
nikon d3100
nikon d5100

in my experience,

-nikon produces greater, more neutral picture which is great for me because i always shoot in raw. canon tends to be more colorful even in neutral.

-nikon images always have less noise, especially in low light situations.

-nikon images are sharper. taking this from the d3100, d5100 and 550d with their respective 50mm 1.8.

-the 550D has slightly faster continuous shutter burst as far as i remember. check reviews.

-in essence, Nikon lenses are cheaper. good canon lenses are labeled as 'L' whereas good Nikkor lenses are just Nikkor. and comparing the 50mm 1.8G of Nikon to the 50mm 1.8L of Canon, its on the same ground.

-the canon has better video capabilities. 720p 60fps, 1080p in 24, 25 and 30fps. the nikons only have 30fps 1080p. the 550D has manual shutter control.

-one thing i like about canon is the viewfinder. their AF points work even in manual, which helps me for i cannot set the diopter because it's not my camera.

-one thing i hate about canon is the viewfinder. if you're using prime lenses or lenses with big apertures, there's always a tendency that what you focus on according to the AF points is not what will be sharp on the image. happens to me all the time but i came to get familiar with it and the capacity of the lens so it didn't become a problem after some time. unlike Nikon's viewfinder, yes it does not assist you even in manual but what you see focused in the viewfinder is what you get.


but if you can still save up and want to really go for photography (not minding video), go for a Nikon d90 with 18-105 and 50mm 1.8.

Very informativer ang message in sir gardodothepolarbear
Thumbs up ako sau SIR!

[dudematters]

thanks sa mga tips mga master, actually ang nagugustuhan ko ngaun is d5100.. kahapon nasa parksquare ako with my fiance, and nakakita kami ng d5100, mejo nagagandahan ako,. nun sinales talk nako nun staff nila, lintek wala ako maintindihan sa mga terms na ginagamit nya.. paksh*t ang hirap bumili ng wala kang alam.. 41k daw.. ganto rin ba price sa iba??

[gardodothepolarbear]

i really suggest going to hidalgo (quiapo) for a dslr kasi dun 'raw' ang prices.

as for the d5100, it's good.   though you might want to consider adding a 50mm 1.8 lens

[raginghormones]

baliktad ata sir, mas maganda color output ng nikon kesa sa canon.. even some canon users admit that hehe

-nikon images are sharper. taking this from the d3100, d5100 and 550d with their respective 50mm 1.8.

nikonista ako pero i think hindi sa camera nababase ang sharpness ng image. i think it is in the technique and the lens

-in essence, Nikon lenses are cheaper. good canon lenses are labeled as 'L' whereas good Nikkor lenses are just Nikkor. and comparing the 50mm 1.8G of Nikon to the 50mm 1.8L of Canon, its on the same ground.

observation ko lang sir di ata ako sure dito, im lookin at the idea of switching systems because of mas mura ang lenses ng canon compared to nikkor example lang, try to compare the prices of nikkor's G gold ring and canon's L red ring 24-70 2.8 or 70-200 2.8 brandnew or secondhand

sorry for the OT clarification ko lang yan based sa experience ko

go for nikon ts hehe

good nikkor lenses have ED on it.

ang kapantay ng nikon 50mm 1.8g is yung ef 50mm 1.8.

at hindi yung ef 50mm 1.2 L. sa presyo pa lang malayo na.

isama mo pa yung MTF charts malayong malayo.

and sa prices.

nikon 24-70 2.8 = 74K
canon 24-70 2.8 = 63k

nikon 17-55 2.8 = 63k
canon 17-55 2.8 = 50K

nikon 50 1.4 = 20k
canon 50 1.4 = 18.5k

agree

[gardodothepolarbear]

oh seriously? mas mahal pala mga gold ring ng nikkor. hihi.

makes me think of going for a canon. haha. binebenta ko lahat ng gamit ko e for a dslr. may nagbebenta kasi 20k (d60, 18-55, 18-105 VR, batt grip, two batts, acccessories). pero ayon. kung ganon na mas mura mga red ring, baka mag canon nalang ako bilang mas maganda video nila (videographer din kasi ako, somehow. hehe).

wasak.  nakikita ko kasi mga nikkor sa hidalgo pero ang prices ng red ring ng canon sa mga malls ko lang nakikita. maybe explains my wrong perception. hehe.

[-nan-]

mga sir/ma'am paano ba icheck ang actuation ng Canon 500d? 2nd hand lang kasi to binili ng kuya ko sa HK  gusto ko lang sana malaman kung nakakailang shots na to!... salamat!...

[never_1007]

gamit ko kasi is opanda exif though nikon user ako.. pero baka pde din.. try mo DL ng opanda exif (google mo lang po) then install mo. Shoot ka using JPG then open this JPG sa opanda exif.. HTH
