F80

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Photography Singapore : One Thread

Hi, I am a beginner. Now I want to buy a F80, How about this body?

Another question, how about the Girzo 106 compared with Manfretto 190?

Thanks.

Hi Allan

I bought F80D last month and so far so good. Body is light but I think it is very suitable for travel. If u like more weight, wait for the battery pack arrive to Cathay. All those bell & whistle features are in (some are really useful like the 18 customisation fuction, the grid-on-demand view finder, the DOF) so far I got no complaint except a bit regret that I should get F80S for it's metering imprint (but so far i could not find 1 in S'pore)

this is the BEST choice for anyone wanted to start a serious hobby in photography...its got all the control you ever need...features from the big brothers like F5 and F100 minus the tough alloy constructions, but OF COURSE, they cost at least THREE times more than the F80!
