4/3 System SLR user

[taufiq]

Hi guys, any 4/3 user here?
We can discuss anything about it here..

I'll start with choosing a zoom-telefoto lens
Having a hard time to choose between the Zuiko 70-300mm or the Sigma 135-400mm.

Anyone has experience using it?
I've found a lot of useful info on the net as well. Just wanna hear from you guys in here .. if any

Arrgh a 400D user here. I love Olympus' out of the camera colour though. :)

hey youngyew.. that's cool :)
yea i think the color is more lively, right?
which lens are you using?

[youngyew]

More lively I don't know... :P Anyway colours of all the DSLRs very much depends on the presets the camera is on when converting the images to JPG in-camera.

Tamron 17-50 f/2.8, Canon EF 50mm.

hi guys, i'm using a Nikon D60. I'm not quite sure, but i believe its a great camera for beginner and advanced user. Simple to use, and have great quality of pic.

I'll choose sigma anyday of my life. I'm very confident about their products. XD But then again, what other lens do you use right now? What about the price?

Tamron is pretty solid too. I actually plan to get myself a Nikon D40 with 18-55mm lens, 75-300mm lens, telephoto lens, macro lens, and wide angle lens. It will cost me about USD 700 including the necessary accesories. Too bad, I have to use my money on something else instead.

That's true. However if you could, start using RAW. Might help getting the right colors all the time.

Haha I started using RAW a while ago, and since I am forced to process every single picture, I have since noticed improved colour and overall vibrancy in my pictures. :D

But the thing is, the improvement is not too much to do with it being in RAW IMHO, it's more like because I am actually processing the photos now. I know that RAW has all the informations that might have been lost in JPG and what not, but on average, I don't really think there's that much of advantage of processing RAW over processing JPG, apart from recovering the highlights, shadows and possibly allowing a better control of white balance.

By the way lightroom rocks. :P

[Thirdshifter]

If you re using light room then going RAW should not be an issue considering light room handles it great. You almost forget soemtimes that they are RAW in lightroom.

Yes, lightroom definitely rocks. Few clicks, few slides and youre done.
