using d/slr's prohibited ?

Hindi rin. I know a lot of people who've had to stop car modification because their lens-procuring habits have eaten away the majority of their funds.

Depends on what cars are we trying to mod and on what level. Kung puro bodykits mod lang siguro nga mas mahal ang Photography, but if you're modding engines and most especially modding expensive cars like Evos or Subarus or Even porsches then ibang usapan yon.

since we're on the subject...

huwag muna bumili ng Nikon DSLR

hintay lang...

Also the Canon 1ds Mark IV is rumored to come out soon. Would be interesting how it compares to my D3x

[Monseratto]

I don't know how much the Panasonic Lumix LX3 costs today but...

Canon Powershot S90 = P18,500 to P20,000 (cash) (new)

Canon Powershot SX210is = P18,800 (cash) (new)

Is this Hidalgo, Quiapo Price or Mall price? Also is there a price difference between the black and other body colors?

I would rather go for canon S90 but i'm waiting for the next generation low light subcompats that uses the backlit CCD technology.

This got me thinking....

pay to use dslrs in malls? wth? are you serious old blue? i've used my dslr in BHS, Serendra, Eastwood, Trinoma, GB3, GB4, GB5, Nuvali and the only time i was stopped was when i took some pictures of nuvali's ecocenter. what's this about paying to take pictures?

renzo, if you don't plan to change lenses then choosing a lumix or G series canon is a good idea but nothing beats dslrs when it comes to having a selection of lenses to choose from. happy shooting!

Nikon DSLR triplets on the horizon?

It's been quite some time, relatively speaking, since Nikon's updated its DSLR lineup. Not that we're complaining about the D3S or D300s (pictured), mind you, but our eyes are perennially fixated on staring into the next big thing. Nikon Rumors seems to think it's got a handle on three new photo-snappers in the pipeline. While one of the trio is completely shrouded in mystery, another is said to be poised for the an entry level model, likely a successor to the D3000 dubbed -- you guessed it -- the D4000. The third and final camera of the group is quite detailed in this report: 39 autofocus points, 16 megapixels with 6400 ISO + HI2 position, and 1080p / 24 frames per second video. NR uses the number of AF points to speculate it'd be a new product category, a D700 replacement that sacrifices some fine-tuning for video and more resolution, or a successor to the old favorite D90.

I see..Wag naman sana i-phase out ang D90.. Gusto ko nun eh, pang Amateur lang pero loaded na and user-friendly pa.. Because it sounds like yung replacement ng D90 kuno is pang professional na..

may subjects ka ba na tao like friends/relatives pag nag-take ng pics. pag wala sigurado yan lalapitan ka ng guard

[Stoner]

Regarding lugging around a DSLR in Japan, I think it may also be because you could be mistaken for those crazy 'otakus' roaming around being weird and generally creepy

The Panasonic Lumix FZ35 Superzoom is currently selling at only P15,000.00 at Greenhills. Quite surprising because the price is near/below US-level (even though grey unit lang). Surprised and perplexed at the same time. Meron bang lemon batch ng model na yan at tinapon nalang dito?

^ 15k is brand new ?

Thanks for the heads up!

mukhang maganda nga yun Canon. I think that will be my next cam.

on topic: when I was in Sydney, misan sinisita rin nila yun mga naka DSLR sa Bondi beach since I think bec primarily it can really zoom in sa mga nag sun bathing so privacy rin ng mga beach goers, but pag P&S cam wala naman problema. sa mall naman dito I really haven't experience it since hinde naman ako nagpipicture sa mall unless sa mga resto lang and yan pag meron pang bisita lang.

Minsan sa MOA, sa SM furniture store, binawalan kami mag take ng pictures. Ayaw pakunan yung mga naka-display na furnitures.......

Regarding the prohibition on the use of DSLRs in certain places, the main reason is security (as mouthed off by security guards, hehe) followed by copyright infringement. In all Ayala malls I've been to (Greenbelt, Glorieta, Trinoma, Serendra), I've been generally left alone by the guards as long as I don't shoot photos of strangers (people not in my party), stairways/escalators/elevators, entrances/egresses, storefront displays, and places such as camera domes, fire exits, admin/security doors, and the like. And that is with me using a Canon 50D with battery grip with a Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. That's a relatively big and quite attention-grabbing sized gear. But despite that, by staying out of grey-area situations, I was generally left alone.

There was an issue of Digital photographer Philippines, about 3 or 4 four issues that tackled the issue of the legality of taking photos (using a DSLR) in certain places.

Ayala malls are quite lax, just don't shoot the places I mentioned. Bonifacio and Eastwood are also a bit lax, though getting a permit would help guarantee that you don't get embarrassing encounters with a few overzealous security people (the permit could be for as long as a week, even up to a month, renewable). SM Malls require a permit, which you need to procure from their admin office. The cities of Makati and Manila also provide permits, which you can show to city authorities if you are doing street photography (this is needed whether you use a DSLR or a P&S). Don't ever try taking photographs of the LRT and MRT (guards tehre are very antsy) unless you have a small camera and a big heart. Shooting with a DSLR there WILL get you in trouble. But if you really MUST shoot... again, get a permit.

BTW, don't bring a camera if you plan to watch a movie, it's a surefire way to get riled up, especially if you are particular about leaving your expensive stuff with the guard, which you will have to... In SM, they have a locker and they issue a numbered pass for you to be able to retrieve it, and they go through a quite tedious process of itemizing the contents of your camera bag and you signing off before they give you the pass.

And BTW, a friend has asked for permits a couple of times already to shoot in Bonifacio, SM, and Ayala Avenue... and he never had to pay anything. All you need is to provide your personal details, the purpose of your shoot, validate yourself with a valid photo ID, and sign a waiver about not using the shots for commercial purposes such as advertisements.
