Canon 600D (T3i) vs Nikon D5100?
I'm looking into getting a DSLR camera and I'm trying to decide which one would be best.It'll be my first one and these seem to keep popping up with good reviews.
Now, right off the bat, I would go with the Canon 600D but the price seems quite steep. How does it compare to the Nikon D5100?
I will be using it for both photo and video.
Does the Rokinon 8mm Fisheye have an exposure confirmation chip?
I want to buy the Rokinon 8mm (Model # FE8M-N) Fisheye for Nikon, and want to know if it has the chip that will allow my camera (Nikon d3200) to auto-expose, or at least tell me if I've exposed correctly. I know the lens doesn't autofocus, I just want to know if it can tell me whether I've exposed correctly.
I would like to know is Nikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8 G is compatible with Nikon D3100? And works well?
I would like to use it for portrait photography, do you recommend it or not? If not what would you recommend?
I play around with shutter speed in Mode 'A'. This is what I notice. Without an external speedlite or with the built-in flash 'OFF", the shutter speed can be set as high as 1/4000. But as soon as I pop up the flash, the shutter speed immediately go down to 1/200 and that's the highest. Shouldn't it be the other way around, because higher shutter speed needs more light for correct exposure? That's weird. I just bought my D5100 about 3 weeks ago and WAS very happy about it, until I found this high speed sync problem! And to make it worst, today, I just bought a high speed sync Yongnuo speedlite, YN-568EX, only to find out my investment in the speedlite was useless. Should've just bought a cheaper YN-565EX instead. My Q is, Is that normal for Nikon D5100? Or is there something wrong with my D5100?
Can you advise between Nikon and Sony?
Entry level for the enthusiastic amateur! We can't decide between Nikon D3100 and the Sony a37 Digital SLR. Reviews seem to conflict. Sony has stabilising and is good for video (not the most important aspect) but Nikon is often preferred. Very confused. Would appreciate some help!
I was using my Nikon D7000 camera when I turned on the camera it said "Card Error". Some how the SD card got corrupted, and it won't show up on my computer. There's a lot of photos on the card that I want to recover.
How do you deal with such a situation? Should I try to fix the corrupted SD card, or just recover the photos and format the card? Which is more likely to work? And what programs do you recommend for each (cost is not an issue)?
Your help is appreciated!
Added (1). Thanks for that.
PhotoRec couldn't detect the SD card at all. I tried many different recovery programs and none could open the SD card.
I tried formatting it in Windows, but Windows can't format it. Is there anyway/software to force format the card?
BTW, it's a Patriot LX 16GB class 10 SD card.
Added (2). No recovery program could do anything with the SD card.
I can't even format it so it seems like it's completely dead.
It still has warranty so I will return it and get a new one.
Thanks to everyone for your help and tips. It's much appreciated…
