DPP is the Nikon Collective;)

Yup, DPP has brought together a lot of us Nikonians!

PiPho is a large site with a lot of members.

I don't like the way they have their technical fora categorized though. If all I have is Nikon equipment, I don't want to see threads related to other brands. It's a chore trying to weed through them that I just gave up. Also, they are heavily moderated.

They have a very good critique section though.

Thank God I found DPP!

i dont like sites with tooo much information. its like a menu with too much that you go gaga sifting throuh all that info! dpp is the perfect mix

btw i actually violated a certain forum's TOS by posting the dpp link but thank god you found us:)

I heart the Nikon Family :)

DPP is a very good forum... "Us" Nikon people will make it even better! :) Yey!

Nice comments guys.

Anderson, when Niino and I were laying out the magazine, we had a difficult time choosing photos from the 2nd EB. We were telling ourselves that not only are these guys a strong bunch, they could bloody well shoot also. These guys can hold their own anywhere. Just check out Issue 04.

I heart the Nikon Family :)

Sonny feels it too! :Grin:

I believe we really are a solid bunch, as Sir Nick pointed out. :)


Just wondering, is there a Nikon Club in the country? If not, what if we organize one?

...we can have a membership ID that can also serve as our nametag during actual EBs / activities. Just thinking out loud.:)

Actually Raffy this was pointed out in the EB with Anderson...

However of course they have to take into consideration the logistics, permissions and politics of it as well, so it's not an easy step to them considering the current restructuring priority, but it might come... It just needs further study, perhaps...

In Japan, this is a reality... We call it the "Nikkor Club"... We have this EBs, shooting events, lectures, nametags etc. But it's really an official club under the Nikon wing...:)

i'm all in for your idea raffy. sounds good!

OT: i'm all ready to sign up the forms!

"Nikkor Club Manila" or "Nikkor Club Philippines" hmn...sounds cool! :) i heart NIKON!!!

I would love to have a black t-shirt with our "Nikkor" club logo on it, can also have baseball caps and jacket. Does anyone have a good T-shirt supplier and a computer generated logo maker (embroidered)?

black shirt + yellow text

ive seen this done in glorietta, quite pricey though

i know which store that is. takes a long time to get the shirts from them. i used to get some shirts made there.

i know which store that is. takes a long time to get the shirts from them. i used to get some shirts made there.

i am sure if we get a bulk order they will prioritize it. btw pricey but their quality is very very good. id seriouly consider them if you guys consider the embrodered look

It's fine with me price and quality as long as tatagal sya kahit malabhan ng 100x. Another way of doing it is have an embroidered logo and we can buy our own black shirt and have them stitched on. I have the Nikonians.org logo which I had stitched on a black shirt. It's black background with orange letters and a camera image....

Guys, we have a member here that works in Garment Industry, she is Anliza Chua, maybe she can help us with the T-Shirt.

All she needs are the design and quantity... so are we serious enough for this?

Maganda rin yung emroidered logo. www.nikonians.org (http://www.nikonians.org) has one as well (I got one when I got the nikonians OPTECH strap:)) You can stich (or velcro) the patch to your bag or camera strap. That way we can be identified as part of the "nikon club" without everyone of us wearing the T-shirt when we go out and shoot. IMHO, better we have logos stiched to our bags or gears than, say 20 of us going out for a fun shoot wearing the same shirts. But that's just me :).

you have a point. if i saw that scene when i was still in school id think, "what a bunch of geeks!!l":D

i think most, if not all nikonians are here :)

I agree with this. I'm a member of the other forums but I can gladly say that DPP has the most solid group of Nikonians! :)

Good day! I am a newbie here. I just got my first DSLR last week - a D50 :)

Good to be here :)

I hope to learn so much from the people here :)

Thanks!

Hello, newbie to DPP but longtime member of PiPho... nice to meet you all

Peace!

Shirt or strap, I'll get one;).

Welcome Ken....

Hello Carlo M. and Ken T. welcome to DPP... Enjoy your stay here! You guys are going to be in for a ride... :D

Thanks Earl! Hope this place is much friendlier. :)

Maybe DPP or someone should just come up with an hard plastic ID... 'That would be cool. :)

Hi Ken, people here are much more than friendly! We're Civilized! Hell Yeah! :D

Sounds like a good idea, I'd like to offer my services if possible, I run a PVC ID printing business along with my studio. I can offer to make a PVC ID for the Nikonians here on DPP. :)

Peace!

Hi Ken! Welcome!

I assure you that people here are definitely a lot much more friendly than any other forums especially us, Nikonians! Hop in and post away! :)

Hello, newbie to DPP but longtime member of PiPho... nice to meet you all

My sentiments exactly, nothing against PiPho. It's just that the disparity between the no. of Canon and Nikon users is so pronounced. Oh well, as they say "we are the few and the brave". :Grin:

A certain DPP member always comes into mind whenever "nametag" is mentioned:D

I wonder who.... Hahaha! :D

I agree with this. This is the local tambayan for Nikonians. :D

another rookie nikon knight here and a brand new d200 owner. yup i'd take my hats off to dpp. way back months ago when i'm still planning on getting my first dslr i've already learned a lot just by browsing and reading the dpp forums, and getting infos from its nice people...thumbs up to all of you guys :)

Long live the few and the brave!

Agree with everyone. DPP has probably the cream of the crop of the Nikon users in the Philippines. I am Thailand based but I always frequent DPP and the Nikon threads here to get some ideas about my current D200.

BTW everyone loves Nikon. Even Canon users.

glad you are one of us sir manny. hehe i love that line, "everyone loves nikon even canon users!" is the opposite true?:)

Hi Guys,

I agree that there should be a Nikon Club here in the Philippines. We can even ask Mr. Anderson Tan to be one of our sponsors. Let's start with the ID, T-Shirt, nametags, patch, stickers, jackets etc. I think we should also have our own set of officers. What do you think? We can also get accreditation from Nikon Japan as one of their affiliates and supporters overseas. Together we stand and United we become a strong force. More power to Nikon Jedi Knights.

:D he he he... no no no... This will not happen here.

I just want to share that upon deciding my first DSLR - I contemplated on which to get - a Canon EOS350D or a Nikon D50, with the following considerations:

- sensor (Nikon CCD vs. Canon CMOS)
- size (canon is smaller)
- image quality (6.0mp CCD is better than 8.0mp CMOS :))

Its clear that Canon only got one out of the three... :)

Thanks for the warm welcome :)

am I worthy? I've been an P&S user for a while now. I'm thinking of upgrading to DSLR and I know what I should get. An entry level camera. the question is: Canon or Nikon? I know it's all about preferences but I cannot formulate any conclusion since I never used a DSLR. I'm leaning towards Canon but I should also look into the dark side. So now, Sith Lords, I need to learn the true power of Nikon. I need your IMO's.

In that case, I say nikon! :)

Thanks for the help! well, I guess I have to formulate my own arguments why I'm getting Nikon based on hands-on experience.

Its good to know i'm one of you guys.

I share same decisions with carlo when i bought my D50 and in addition, the price

I even tried comparing RebelTxt(350d) vs D70s vs D50. Technically, I can see minimal advantage on the 350d and D70s vs D50.

Having electronics background, CCD is better than CMOS :Grin: though it drains much power, it has higher image quality and less susceptible to noise.

same sentiment Ali, Davao boys kami but like what i said, the Dark Side of the force is strong in us . . .

STAR WARS pala kasi, black usually ang mga Nikon Bodies, Nikon Lens . . . and we all owe it to Henri Cartier-Bresson, for all to know, he started the black camera bodies because when he was doing street photography with a silver body before, light would bounce right of it and often ruining the shot so he opted for a black body para di na mag reflect ang light from the camera body . . . :Grin:
