As for Kit I have the following;
Canon 7d, 18-135 zoom lens, 580 flash unit and a 50mm prime lens.
The 50mm prime lens is great but sometimes you cannot get enough distance to get a full length shot. It has a good aperture so the flash unit does not need to work as hard (creating a harsher photo.) Generally shot at about 400 ISO.
The next lens I'm looking at is something like a 18-55mm with a decent aperture. This should provide a good comprise in cramped hotel rooms.
As for shopping, I have gotten most of my kit in Central, the shop on the corner of Stanley St and Pedder st, uphill side. Ap Lei or something like that. Language is not a problem and their prices are very good. I agree the big chains; broadway & fortress are good as well - I purchased the body from fortress in causeway bay.
The site http://www.ygdragon.net/ that was listed by asia-play is a great price guide.
Rico - I don't have to fag around with the white balance on the 7d (you can if you like but I always have it in auto). Occasionally I do make some changes after the shot was taken (in software on the pc) but quite often that is my personal preference on the colors. But this would be the same with any camera/shot.
I enjoy taking photos (enjoy the sex more) so I do not mind lugging the kit around.
However I have been impresses with the quality of the shots from the Panasonic Lumix GF1 | |
