Bakit sobrang mahal ng Canon products dito?

[theveed]

isa pa, wag nyong ibase sa mega pix count. Ibase nyo sa laki ng lens.

in most cases, you won't need anything more than 4mgpx anyway unless you plan to blow up big shots beyond 8R

ICB, setup na yan....herherehrehrehrehr

Dati eh Wing Shing sa mongkok ang bilihan ko ng mga camera, kasi isa sila sa malaking distributor ng Nikon noon.... ewan ko lang ngayon....nakakapag-repair din sila ng camera.... i think sub-con daw sila ng Nikon HK talaga kaya don ako bumibili ng mga Nikon products....

Thanks for the infos. Wala naman akong balak ipa-blow-up yung picture ko. Baka lang the pics will look much sharper with a higher resolution camera (hindi ba the higher the resolution, the more data you can put into the picture?). Saka isa pa, since nabanggit nyo na rin yung lens, yun bang lens ng Canon Pro 8-px or yung Olympus 8080 eh hindi available dun sa mga models with a lower resolution like 4 or 8 px?

Isa pa, may nagsabi sakin na yun daw Canon PowerShot Pro eh malinaw kumuha ng pics kahit umaandar yung subject (like for example nakasakay ka sa Fortuner tapos pini-pichuran mo yung kalaban na Alterra - ba't ba nasasama itong Fortuner dito sa usapan - tragis! &$(&*#* ) ... usually kasi pag mabilis ang andar ng subject, blurred yung pics unless na professional yung camera mo.

wow thanks everyone! i think i'll go with wowiesy's advice hehe... dito ko bibilhin yung body tapos siguro lenses and accessories sa HK. i'll go with the local manufacturer warranty i guess, mahirap na kung sakali hehe

although meron palang extended warranty (1 year coverage will be upgraded to 2 years) available sa HK... hmm... would it be worth it to buy the body in HK and get the extended warranty instead?

el chicane,

pre, wala sa camera yung pag moving shot. kahit low-end na Sony or Canon makukuha yung shot na yan, provided broad daylight... kasi magiging sobrang bilis ng shutter speed (1/125 or less of a second) kaya freeze motion talaga yan. kung gusto mo yung blurred yung background (motion blur), diyan mo kailangan ng camera na merong manual shutter speed, kasi gusto mo, slow enough yung shutter to blur the background but fast enough na klaro yung subject. yung Pro1 at 8080 kaya yan, although there are many less expensive cameras that will let you do this also (basta merong manual aperture and manual shutter).

for lower MP, basta high-end na "prosumer class" digicam usually top-notch ang image quality. Olympus C-5060WZ (5 MP), Olympus C-7070WZ (7 MP), Canon PowerShot G6 (7 MP), and yung mga equivalent Nikons, Konica Minoltas, Sonys. The G6 in particular, is excellent (f/2 lens will extend your capabilities in low-light flashless shooting).

more MP is useful when you crop (or blow up) your images, print large prints, require high resolution and maximum detail (example, you are printing brochures and stuff like that). but other than those, liability na yung large files sizes and the tendency for more image noise... but since most of the best cameras are high-MP, there's no reason to dismiss a camera just because it has more MP than you need.

Pre labas mo na mga alak mo dyan hehehe.
Wing Shing din ako bumibili ng mga camera. Mura na tsaka ok yung mga reps nila hindi maaangas hehehe.

grabe din yung difference ng presyo sa lens...

example, the famous Canon 17-40 mm f/4 L costs 49,900 at the canon showroom... sa HK mga 38,000+ lang, sa US mga 36,400... yikes!

[BoEinG_747]

sir mbt..

CASIO lang ba ang brand na may feature na "COUPLING"( im not sure sa term)

just like na may sa first shot at second shot

then later on ay pinag tabi sila (1st& 2nd shot)

then after print ay parang mag katabi sila in shot...

TIA
