DSLR, which stands for Digital Single-Lens Reflex Camera, is a digital camera that uses a mechanical mirror system and pentaprism to direct light from the lens to an optical viewfinder on the back of the camera.
Recently I just bought a Nikon D60 DSLR, which is an user-friendly entry-level DSLR line with 10 megapixel DX format CCD sensor, 3.0fps continuous shooting, 2.5" 230,000 pixel LCD monitor, ISO sensitivity range 100-1600 plus HI 1(3200 equiv.), and of course, equipped with a AF-S DX 18-55 mm VR kit lens. One disadvantage for D60 is that it doesn't have an built-in focus drive motor, which means that you must have a AF-S or AF-I lenses which have their own drive motor to make use of the Auto Focus feature. Do remember to choose a VR lens, which stands for Vibration Reduction as it helps alot to prevent blur on your shooting due to hand shake.
What really makes me in love with D60 would be it's weight.... Only about 522 g and this is very light especially when u need to hold it long for event shooting... Equipped with EN-EL9 1000mAh battery, it could shoot up to 300 pictures or more depends on your settings.... Of course, with pop-up flash enabled the battery might only last for 150 pictures...
Here is how the D60 looks like:
Of course, due to some event shooting I just bought a flash gun, Nissin Di622 instead of SB600 from Nikon... Both flash gun performs almost d same but Nissin is much more cheaper although without the LCD indicator...
Up to now I'm quite satisfied with the performance from this flash gun together with my D60.... Gotta train more and shoot on more events to get more familiar with this flash gun....
Here are some of the sample picture: -
Marco setting, zoom in to 55mm, f/5.6, 1/13 shutter, ISO 200
Pop-up flash shooting in d club, 18mm, f/5, 1/10 shutter, ISO 400
With Nissin Di622 flash gun, 18mm, f/3.5, 1/15 shutter, ISO 800
and here are some arts perform by using flash gun:
Will post more in the future, and since I'm still beginner to DSLR, please forgive me on the high noise level in some of my pictures.... Posted this up jz to share with u all on my DSLR... thx anyway....
