Last weekend, I saw a tourist group from China in Wan Chai, a member of the group passed her camera to this guy. This man looks professional on DSLR but not on compact camera. Then he sit down and almost cried. Any body can help him?

D70 body + Nikkor 180/2.8ED + PL filter.

Hard to beat! coz it's Canon body! and the guy has a Canon DSLR hanging around his neck too! Surprised me, it's harder to operate another Canon body while you're a Canonian :shock:

Not with Nikon, all the are similar, took 2 seconds to know what they are and for?

That is Canon Powershot, actually not complicated. But he took long time to study it.

Sometimes simple things can beat you, though you are professional.

 LOL. Expression says it all.

I found the transition from Nikon P&S to Nikon dSLR relatively painless.

hehe but the step back is hard..

I have had plenty of people pass me thier P&S first thing I do is look for the viewfinder...

then when I have it all composed I press the shutter and almost always miss the shot by pulling the camera down before it fires... damn slow shutters!

Poor Guy!

Might have been easier to borrow the CF card and use his own camera... Poor guy.

Haha nice one Mr Poon, really captures the emotion of the moment well! I think Gladys had a similar moment last weekend switching from my Nan's Nikon Coolpix S1 to my D70 + 17-55 DX + SB800 + LS2, bit of a weight difference. :lol:
