U gan pua wu lwee man, the money you spend on lens enough for me to sit LSi for 4yrs until COE chwee. Alternative is I can get QQ chery red plate sit till chwee also.

[ayuluv]

btw is it advisable to get body from hkg too?

the price seems really good somehow...

Even when getting from overseas... the higher end canon's are still ard 1k or so more ex then what hkg price is abt....

[tecnica]

canon international warranty ceased to exist since last sept i think.

anyway IS cannot stop motion, it just gives you more hand-holdability. you will still need fast shutter speed to freeze motion.

noted bro =)

therefore f 2.8 is the one that can "freeze" compared to 4.0-5.6 rite?

no international warrenty to protect local sales =)

shutter to freeze. not aperture. though aperture plays a fair bit inorder to get the shutter speed to freeze action without becoming too dark or bright

sometimes f2.8 also is too slow to freeze anything one.

that is when you need prime lens to give you fast shutter speed.

hmm.. ok aperture contributes to faster shutter speed somehow right?
besides that how to increase?

Aperture is to allow more light to enter thus if possible preventing your shutter speed to drop to a limit below 1/focal length which induce motion blur and this is also the part where your IS and ISO comes into play too (low light situation).

Try playing with different aperture in A mode at the same ISO focusing on the same area, you should see that the shutter speed slows down (e.g 1/20 to 10s) as the aperture goes from max to min e.g. 2 being the max and 20 being the min.

Then adjust your ISO from 200 to 1600 and you should see the shutter speed value changes as compared to the above.

What technica is trying to tell you is the shutter speed matters if you want to freeze motion. Example, try shooting at the fan blade with 1/2000s and 1/100s. You should be able to see the fan blade freezes with 1/2000s and the fan blade spinning at 1/100s.

Pardon my poor explanation.

experience it will be better with your A & T modes

you can only learn this "m u c h" with theory.

Agreed. Go start shooting else you won't be able to utilize the L series lens properly even if you can afford it.

Anyway, we are off topic. Shouldn't this thread be about the Hong Kong DSLR market recommendations?

thanks.. ya i had tried it just now but upping my ISO from 100 - 6400 ... the shutter speed got diff hahah

do you mean Auto mode?

I am using Program mode rite now if not wrong
