im using a soft saddle bag behind, comes with velcro and buckles to secure it under pillion seat, loaded with mainly clothes and light stuff. another 40L backpack is tied on the fuel tank filled with heavy stuff like tools and books for donation later. and then off we go! dun worry about petrol stop. thailand and cambodia have plenty of them but difficult to find a place to pump tire. cost us 1000 riel in siem reap to pump one

[Eno]

if u just wanna get a camera for aim and shoot, or not VERY interested in professional photography (not talking abt enjoy looking at photos) then i suggest u not getting a dslr...

 

it is really an expensive hobby.. if u intend to stop at getting a body + kit lens, then i think its not worth to invest in it..

unless u r really into professional photography and want to get a whole set of lens and really experiment then it is good to invest..

 

a few friends of mine spent over a few k, some even above 10k for lens, etc etc..

 

so.. go for the purpose..

for the budget tt u have.. u either get a not-so-good dslr or a good semi-pro or compact camera..

the best is, u have both.. a good dslr and a good compact

haha

 

Okay my main reason for getting DSLR is I want a decent picture when I take pictures(esp at night). Is that a good reason for getting DSLR?

 

If I get DSLR, I'm getting the smaller more compact version coz I dun want to be carrying it around.

 

What's your advice? I need compact with good qualities especially at night.

 

get a semi-pro like mine..worth the money for a beginner..

 

Make & Model including price?

 

Greeting from Angkor Wat, Cambodia! Me and my bike reached here 2 days ago after 2500km!

 

Greetings from Tampines. 2500km away from where you are!

No free stuff no support!

We have our annual Nus Riders Orientation Ride at the start of the semester. We'll show u the way around. After that, we'll have games, makan, etc. Good way to know the riders around.

 

Usually we'll put flyers on "student's looking" bike promoting the event. (WELL SOMEBODY DIDN'T PUT ON MINE BECAUSE MINE LOOK LIKE APEK APEK MALAYSIAN BIKE HMMMMMMPH!!!!!!)

 

i didn't go to FASS@NUS day. i had to go for defensive riding theory lessons.

 

eno: if there's a chance i'll join you guys. but who is going to pillion me?

 

I suggest u privately pm them and ask. This kind of thing cannot allocate people one haha.

 

OMG I got pm!

 

sure or not got orientation ride!

if got then

 

Have lah. Read a few lines up.

 

shihong, glad my quote inspired u...

Don't say. Tell me when. I'm keen on it.

..

 

if u wanna capture pics at night, most prolly u would need a tripod stand, so how can u not be carrying the camera+its props around.. ?

i think compact/digital camera suits u better..

 

who says digi cam cannot take nice night photos... hehe.

[w4hkauz]

I jus pump the 95 Gasohol, works well on my bike but not recommended for long usage cos i heard it will damage the rubber in carb. but the english africa twin rider told me just use no prob. for the question on thai gasohol i think u better refer to trip and trill section under thai and beyond, there is a sticky discussion. anything its the cheapest fuel if im not wrong, cheaper than unlead 91

[shong]

We carry books for charity there la..going down to some rural schools and donate them..

 

dun wear helmet and u get blasted by sand storm if there is a car overtaking u..and soon u will dig out red substances from ur eyes and nose..

I will be carrying the tripod stand to take any nice nightshot.

Maybe my camera too old. Bought 5 years ago.

yap... agree with kitty..

eno, just to take decent pics, u dont have to get dslr la.. if not what is the point of creation of normal digicam..

u just need to shop ard.. read the reviews from internet.. not all digicam performs well in night shots..
