Canon vs Nikon (Do you want to be the TF?) thread)

So, I was reading on the new Nikon released lenses...

Now since Nikon have
16-35mm f/4 VR
24-120mm f/4 VR
I would assume they will release something like a 70-200mm f/4 VR... but how soon? next year? hehe

if they do release something like this, I might be tempted to buy an f/4 VR lineup

28-300 VR as well.

So what did you do in Borneo Stealthy?

did you meet the Sultan?

I wasn't in Brunei I was in the Malaysian part.

Just family holiday. Did some snorkeling (I love snorkeling) I need to get myself a waterproof camera.

Sorta waiting for the *gasp* Canon D11.

yeah I am actually thinking about getting a Canon D10. I also love snorkeling, good thing there are a lot of snorkeling sites here.. I make it a point to snorkel at least once every month.

you should visit the Philippines next time

Yeh there are snorkelling sites here too, but nothing really organised like in the tourist places. What annoyed me though is the number of noobs (who I suspect couldn't swim) walking over the corals.

I snorkelled down in Tasmania (where I'm from) in the winter once (12ºC or 53ºF) with an ill fitting wetsuit on (not mine) water leaked in and I had to wear a jumper (sweater) etc. underneath to (try) and keep warm). Still loved it.

In fact this video: http://www.youtube.com …=kmdfsU6v3n4&fe​ature=user

... was shot in winter. I had swimming goggles on and had to hold myself under water for one shot.

It was rather cool.

yes, that's really me in that video... and I really had to grit my teeth to dive in the water like that.


Oh and it's my voice at the end (both of them) if you needed to know.

LOL Adrian, I don't know if I should believe that its you in that video... haha

yeah newbie should be required to wear lifevest for them to float.

I hate to snorkel on shallow waters though, specially if there are a lot of sea urchins and other creatures. I love to snorkel at around a minimum of 8ft of water up to around 20feet more or less.

lesser chance of disturbing the corals... the best Snorkeling site I have been to so far is in Palawan.

btw, when I went to Manly beach in Sydney, it was pretty cold. hahaha I did not even tried to swim, and it was not even winter. wheew!!

Yeah freakin' sea urchins. They had these black ones with massive spines.

They were actually wearing life-vests but they were till walking. Noobs.

Unfortunately I couldn't get out to 8ft water. I was more like 5-6 feet. I could swim above the corals mainly though. My son (who is 4) trod on a massive waving hands coral. I got him off real fast.

Sydney water isn't as cold as Tamanian water. Still less sharks in Tassie.
