Review of Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8-4.5 SLD Aspherical DC Optical Stabilized (OS) Lens with Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

February 28, 2010

I’m an amateur photographer, whose pictures are taken indoors, with no flash. I could not afford higuer-end class just yet, so I opted for this lens, knowing that 18mm, it gives you f2.8. That is pretty awesome. IT works fantastic and smooth. From the beginning, my photos came out pretty sharp, thanks in part to the Optical Stabilization offered, something that other brands cannot offer for that price.

Strongly recommend this lens for your everyday photos. Outdoors and indoors. It is not heavy, it is fast, sharp, and practical.

Product Description
An upgrade to its predecessor, the 18-50mm F2.8-4.5 DC OS HSM is a lens dedicated to digital SLR cameras with APS-C size image sensors offering a large aperture and Sigma’s Optical Stabilization. Once again, Sigma has also engineered the built-in OS function, an anti-shake system, for Sony and Pentax mount allowing the photographer to see a stabilized image in the viewfinder. The combination of the large aperture of F2.8 and anti-shake function makes capturing exceptional photos in low light achievable, and the wide angle is well suited for indoor photography. Two SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements and three Aspherical lenses provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations. The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting. Designed with inner focusing and inner zooming systems, high image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. The overall length of the lens does not change during focusing and zooming ensuring convenient handling. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 11.8 inches (30cm) throughout the entire zoom range and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4.1. The incorporation of HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures a quiet and high speed auto focus.

Review of Nikon 60mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Micro-Nikkor Lens for Nikon DSLR Cameras

February 28, 2010

Who would have thought that Nikon could have improved on the already excellent 60mm micro? How?

1) It no longer extends when focusing.

2) Hood is now included, and is bayonet style, not screw on.

3) AFS. Quiet focusing.

4) 9 nine rounded aperture blades (instead of 7 straight) for very pleasant bokeh.

5) As sharp as the old one.

6) New Nano crystal coatings supposed provide better color and contrast (only time will tell on this one).

Is it worth the upgrade? Check this list and see if these are important to you. If not, you can pick us a used 60mm AF(D) micro or maybe still find a new one for less money. As I was not replacing but buying a short macro for the first time, I got this latest version and am very very happy with it.

Is it worth the higher price? I certainly think so, but others may disagree. Shop around, there are better prices at good stores. Avoid Broadway photo and its related sites.

Review of Camera Muzzle SLR, Sound Muffling Enclosure for Canon and Nikon Digital SLRs

February 28, 2010

It really does muffle noise. I bought this for a Canon 40D. My camera is one of the quietest digital SLRS, but the extra muffling helps in live theatre environments. My 40D is smaller than the max size camera the muzzle is designed for. It does include a hard foam insert but the 40D camera does not fit tightly in side. That means the viewfinder, lcd and top screen do not always align so you can see them. If you know your camera controls you will be fine. There is a 3″-4″ gap between the tripod grommet and the camera. I am trying to create a stable bracket so I can use this with a tripod. I really need a tripod to take live theatre shots of productions. Hand held in stage lighting conditions does not allow for sharp images. I have not used the removable lens cover since I do not have a big noisy lens. An extended viewfinder may help keep the viewfinder in line with the viewfinder hole, otherwise it moves around.

This thing is useful, just be prepared to use extra padding and create accessories to keep it in position for your specific camera.

Pros: adds additional sound muffling to shutter noise.
left and right access to reach inside controls during use.
Cons: no easy way to mount to tripod on Canon 40D.
need to create mount adapter for my smaller SLR.
need extra padding to keep camera aligned with viewfinder hole and windows.
windows fog up.

Product Description
The Camera Muzzle, a sound muffling enclosure for Canon and Nikon digital SLRs, has been redesigned to improve both its usability and noise squelching capabilities.Changes in the new Camera Muzzle version include: Improved sound reduction It’s still soft sided, but the use of new muffling material and the elimination of all remaining velcro on openings add up to a quieter Camera Muzzle experience Larger rear LCD window The clear window on the back of the Camera Muzzle has been made bigger, to accommodate the rear LCD and nearby buttons of newer cameras such as the EOS-1D Mark III, EOS-1Ds Mark III and Nikon D3. Tripod mount access The bottom now incorporates an opening through to the tripod socket on the base of the camera. The opening itself sports a metal grommet for durability. The standard-length 1/4″-20 stud of a typical tripod or other mount may not be long enough to attach securely to the camera’s base, which means the mounting stud will need to be lengthened by about 1/4″. Some heads allow for the stud depth to be adjusted, including the Manfrotto Magic Arm’s camera plate, Expanded compartment opening To ease camera insertion, the zippered opening on the Camera Muzzle has been made a bit larger.As before, the Camera Muzzle is available in a single version meant to fit best on the larger digital SLR bodies in Canon’s and Nikon’s lineup going back several years. A foam block is inc

Review of Lowepro Flipside 200 Backpack (Black)

February 28, 2010

I’m very satisfied with the purchase of this pack.I don’t have a lot of equipment or glass, but the small top-loader I had was not cutting it any more.I was looking for a relatively small pack to store a few lenses, flash, chargers, and of course the camera.I tried to like the Lowepro Slingshot, but ultimately wasn’t satisfied with the side load design.It’s a great concept and I know that it’s great for getting those quick shots, but I was concerned with its ability to accommodate a long lens attached to the camera.This bag is supposedly designed to allow you to leave the straps that buckle across your hips connected so you can swing it around and open the pack while standing.I haven’t tested this and really have no intention of using it in this fashion, so I can’t give an opinion.It was not a factor in my decision, but it may be in yours.Here are the pros and cons in my opinion.

Pros
- Decent storage for anyone with a light inventory
- Typical adjustable configuration using Velcro dividers
- Security of having the zippers against your back
- Clean design

Cons
- Not much storage room for other items
- The zipper can be a bit awkward since they are partially hidden
- Not All Weather, but they may come out with that version

I like the idea of having the zippers against your back for two reasons.The first is security.I really don’t have to worry much about anyone trying to gain access to my bag in a crowd.Also, if you’re like me I constantly worry about my gear falling out because the zipper was not closed all the way.I’ve had some bad experiences with standard backpacks that did this when the zipper was not FULLY closed.It wasn’t even that I forgot to zip it.The second reason is that I can set the bag down on the ground and not worry about getting the side that touches my back dirty when I get my gear.

In conclusion I like the bag and am satisfied with it for my needs.If you have a lot of items you will need something bigger.Minimalist design with minimal room for extra stuff, but a nice step up from a small top-loader.

For reference I have a 350D, 18-55 kit lens, 50 1.8 II, 24-105 f/4L, 430EX, battery chargers and filters.Will be adding the 70-200 f/4L which is why I would like the room in the bag to leave it attached.

Product Description
The compact, lightweight design of the Flipside 200 backpack lets you carry your digital SLR without worry. The unique back compartment entry gives you safe, easy access to camera gear when you’re setting up plus extra security when you’re on the move. Outer storage panels keep digital accessories and personal items close at hand.

Review of Nikon D70S 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)

February 27, 2010

The other reviews and the description seem to properly describe this camera.I am writing this review to give you the perspective of someone who started out with film SLR cameras in school, then got a digital 5MP camera and have used that for years and am now finally getting into Digital SLR photography.This is a big step back into the professional circle for me, and I’m anxious to get out to the zoo or to some vacation spot in the mountains to do my professional photography once again.I purchased this camera almost a month ago and my opinion is that it is the best camera ever made under $2,000.This camera has everything you can need.

I want to warn you, get the full set with the lense.This lense sells for almost $400 and is about the best all around lense you can find.Don’t go for the cheap models.I wrote a list about this camera that may appear on this page for you to look at, but be sure that you get the ML-L3 wireless remote (for $20, how can you go wrong) and a spare battery (2,000 pictures sounds like a lot, and I haven’t needed to recharge in this month that I’ve had the camera, but remember that when you go on a trip you may forget to recharge and you don’t want to get stuck).Also, get a tripod (try the Slik Tripods U9000, I wrote a review of it and I find it to be the best buy around for a light-weight tripod that acts like a much heavier one) and get a carrying case (the jury is still out, I haven’t found one that I like, I want one that will hold two cameras, 4 lenses, a large flash and a bunch of accessories).

If you aren’t sure if the D70s is worth the money over the D50 or the D70, it is.The improved autofocusing system is much better than the others and the larger LCD is worth all the tea in China!I leave the LCD protector that came with it on and have no problem seeing my pictures, even outside.Although this is a larger camera than the D50, it isn’t much of a difference and you will regret going with the cheaper camera.

If your budget was lower, save up and buy this camera.I bought a CoolPix 5000 a few years back and always kicked myself for not going with the D100.Now I’ve gone with the best camera on the market and I’m perfectly happy.Plus, I have the satisfaction of knowing that none of my friends can show me a better camera (unless they spent $4,000 or more on a D2X or D2H, and none of my friends can afford to do that)!!!

Review of Nikon 180mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

February 27, 2010

This lens is legendary, but due to its sloooooooow focusing, doesn’t have much value to sports shooters these days. It is a great lens for landscapes and portraits on FX and could make up for any issues with the 70-200 on FX, which frankly, I feel are way overblown. At any rate, if you need a fast medium tele and can’t afford the 70-200, this is worth a look. No VR and no AFS make it very antiquated, however. The sharpness and bokeh are superb, however. Look for a used one.

Product Description
Professional photographers make Nikkor lenses their lenses of choice. Nikon is committed to every aspect of lens manufacturing, maintaining clarity, sharpness, focusing accuracy, range and reliability.PRODUCT FEATURES:High-performance telephoto lens;ED glass elements offer high-resolution and high-contrast image even at maximum aperture;IF (Internal Focusing) technology for fast AF operation;Perfect for news, sports, action and astronomical photography.

Review of Nikon D40 6.1MP the smallest Digital SLR Camera (Body)

February 27, 2010

The 6 Megapixel Nikon D40 is targeted for those who want a relatively compact and light camera yet having most of the important SLR features. The D40 is priced reasonably (cheaper than D50/D80 and Canon Rebel XTi). In my opinion, if you are still considering whether to get a point and shoot camera or a DSLR, the D40 will be a better choice than any point and shoot camera, by far, even those with 8MP or 10MP. But if you are already deciding to get a DSLR or you want more control of the picture taking experience, then I would recommend you to also test the D50 and/or D80 first before deciding to buy the D40. I want you to make sure that you know what you will get (and not get) with the D40. Don’t get me wrong though, the D40 is an awesome camera, and I don’t think you will regret buying one. There are some limitation with the D40 which shouldn’t bother most people, for example, the D40 doesn’t have dedicated button to change picture quality, white balance or ISO settings (which generally only professional/enthusiast will care). Once you understand (and accept) its limitation, the D40 is a potent and exciting photography machine.

Just like all its (DSLR) siblings, the D40 powers on instantly and take pictures with almost no shutter lag which are the major advantages of a DSLR over a point and shoot camera. In addition to the P,S,A,M mode, the picture quality of the auto settings (auto, child mode, landscape etc) are also very good. With 2.5 frames per second you can capture movement progress in sports like football, basketball, baseball etc. Also great to photograph your family or child (child mode). The D40 is a great all around camera.

Some notable new features:
1. Auto (no flash) mode. Without this mode the flash will pop-up (on all other pre-programmed mode) even when you don’t want to use flash (which can be annoying). The internal flash will not pop up automatically with the P,S,A,M settings.
2. In camera editing capability such as black and white, sepia and some filter effects etc. While sounds gimmicky, these features are useful especially for those who doesn’t have Adobe Photoshop (or other image editing software).

To date, D40 is the smallest and lightest among all the Nikon DSLR (even smaller than the Canon Rebel XT/XTi, however the D40 is more ergonomics). I believe that choosing a camera that fits comfortably with your hands is important. Therefore, I recommend people to test the camera before buying (even if you want to buy online, please do go to a physical store and test the camera first whenever possible).

The D40 has only 3 (horizontal) autofocus point (5 for D50 and 11 for D80). If you know “The Rule of Thirds”, the additional AF points above and below the center focus point (available in D50 and D80) are handy to help create the horizontal third line. However, the 3 horizontal AF point in D40 is still helpful to create the vertical third line. Also one can focus with the middle AF point and after the focus is lock then move the frame upwards/downwards to create the horizontal third line. Just make sure the exposure level is still accurate when you move the frame after you lock the focus.

About the 18-55mm II AF-S kit lens: A good lens producing sharp photos (though not a very fast lens). Also decent for close-up/macro photography. Lens uses internal focus technology and focusing operation is silent. A very decent kit lens.

Lens compatibility: Notice that with D40, autofocus function will not work for non AF-S/AF-I lens. If you already have non AF-S/AF-I Nikon lenses and want a backup or replacement camera, you will be better off buying D50, D70s or D80. If you buy the D40, it will be convenient to stick with AF-S and AF-I type lenses. I’m not sure why Nikon choose this route for the D40 (whether to enable smaller size camera or from now on Nikon will only make AF-S lens compatible camera). There are a lot of good Nikon AF-S lenses (price range added: low, medium, high) that are fully compatible with the D40 such as:

- Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED AF-S DX (L)
- Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX (L)
- Nikon 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED IF AF-S DX (L)
- Nikon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX (L)
- Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S DX VR (M)
- Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED AF-S DX (L)
- Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED AF-S DX VR (L)
- Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR (M)
- Nikon 12-24mm f/4G ED IF AF-S DX (M)
- Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF-S (H)
- Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S DX (H)
- Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF-S (H)
- Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR (H)
- Nikon 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro (M)
- And several other expensive prime tele/zoom lens like 200-400mm, 300m, 400mm, 500mm, 600mm.

High priced lens ($1000+) are usually pro level lens which usually have better construction, faster (f-stop), and produce better quality picture. However, often times, lower price lens will serve your needs just fine. I think it is important to know what you want to use the camera for before deciding which camera and lens to buy.

Image quality of the D40 is very good which is #1 factor that I look for in a digital camera.

Here are the pros and cons of the D40 in my opinion:

Pros:
1. Nice out of the camera result picture quality
2. Affordable price
3. Compact size and light weight
4. Large and bright 2.5 inch LCD
5. 2.5 frames per second
6. B/W, Sepia, several more in-camera editing features.
7. Instant power on, fast autofocus and no shutter lag
8. Noise is acceptable at high ISO settings. Auto ISO settings available.
9. Great 18-55mm II AF-S kit lens.
10. Great battery life (400+ on a single charge. 1000+ if flash is not used).
11. Auto (flash off) mode available
12. 1/500 flash sync

Cons:
1. No direct button to change QUAL, WB and ISO settings
2. Grip comfortably but might be a bit too small for some people
3. No top LCD and no front command dial
4. Autofocus will not work with non AF-S or non AF-I lenses (such as the 70-300m G and 50mm f/1.8D lens)
5. No AF/MF switch (have to use the switch on the lens)
6. Only 3 autofocus point
7. 6 Megapixel (More Megapixel needed to print larger than 12 X 18 at 300 dpi)
8. No night landscape mode in pre-programmed settings
9. No in camera image stabilization (like Sony and Pentax) but Nikon has lenses with it (VR).
10. No depth-of-field preview button

In conclusion, the D40 is perfect for those who want high quality pictures, more control (than a point and shoot camera), and have a DSLR experience (instant power on and no shutter lag), without having to carry a bulky camera. And unless you are shooting sports/actions professionaly (which faster focusing processor, faster frames per second and larger memory buffer might be needed), the D40 is pretty much all you will need.

Happy Photographing!

Review of PhotoBert Photo CheatSheet for Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera

February 26, 2010

The Nikon D80 is a great but complex camera. After having mine about a month, I’m just beginning to feel comfortable with it, although I’ve used smaller digital cameras and film SLRs for many years.

Obviously you can’t squeeze a 150-page manual onto both sides of an 8-1/2 x 11 inch sheet, so this Cheat Sheet’s role is mainly as a reminder of things you’ve learned but forgotten, and also as a kind of index when you have to go back to the manual. It basically tells you which control or menu item does what you want to do.

So the better you know your camera, the more useful this sheet becomes — for instance, when you’ve forgotten which sub-sub-menu lets you change the maximum ISO setting or minimum shutter speed in Auto ISO mode …

It’s easy to read and well-made — looks like it’ll last for years. It’s actually more up-to-date than the Nikon manual, since it includes fixes for some manual errors. And I’ve found NO errors on this sheet, while I’ve found several dozen in the manual itself.

Product Description
This is a one-of-a-kind CheatSheet for the Nikon D80 digital camera. If you own this camera you know what an amazing device it is. But who can remember all of those functions??This CheatSheet is like having the manual on a card – but better! It’s a concise summary of what’s in the manual. It’s is an “easy to take with you”, invaluable quick reference. It’s printed in full color on both sides of a full-sheet of paper that’s laminated with a light 3-mil laminate and is folded in thirds. When folded it’s about 4″ x 8 3/4″ so it stores easily.Laminated, waterproof and very sharp and clear, this is a very high quality product.Covered topics include: Battery Info Memory Card Formatting 2-Button Reset Emergency Reset LCD Brightness Focus Options including all AF and Focus modes Focus Lock AF Assist Image Enhancement including Optimization, Sharpening, Color Mode, Tone Compensation, Color Saturation & Hue Adjustment File Numbering White Balance Settings Metering Modes Image Quality Settings Image Size settings Long Exposure Noise Reduction High ISO Noise Reduction Digital Vari-Programs including Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night Landscape, & Night Portrait Playback Menu and Modes Multiple Exposures Speedlight including all Sync Modes, Available Shutter Speeds, Max Shooting Distanc
