let me know what u think about this.

[Solitaire]

Guys, advice please.

 

Thinking about getting my first DSLR.

 

Went through a whole bunch of reviews and it looks like Nikon's D3100 might be a good option. Will it make a huge difference if I fork out the extra cash and get a 5100 instead? How good is the D3100 (especially if I'm getting it at a very good price and if it comes with the kit lens)?

[Solitaire]

Probably something where I can use a whole bunch of accrued points with a bank to get it without paying any cash as such. Probably why I'm considering this model instead of the recent D3200.

Edited May 7, 2012 by sameuun

[Sackboy]

D90 has an inbuilt focus miter so the lenses are very good and very cheap for it, I say get that

[Javs]

HELP!

 

 

im planning to upload my jewellery collection on website.

 

but totally n00b when it comes to click the jewellery snaps, not know the real lighting/focus drama.

 

 

cud someone pls guide me if i need some aperatus for shooting pro like photos.???

 

 

also will visit to delhi on 9th, i cud pickup something if needed.

 

i got the worst results so far.

if i add more lighting, it glitters too much, hence design becomes unrecognizable.

 

 

PLEASE HELP, :helpsmilie:

 

and i need fast.

 

buddy, you have to get a DSLR to get real good quality product pics

 

i am in similar line of business like you, we do hand embroidery. so many times click pictures of work using beads, pearls, sequins and its important to get macro shots with good lighting around

 

i can post some pictures of our work so you get idea
