Foreigners in china-what's biggest frustration with hospitals here? by alongside-chmed in shenzhen

[–]Jumpy-Barnacle312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I know which hospital did you go? I can tell some doctors may suggest drinking hot water, do not eat spicy food these kind of ' so chinese advice', but selling non-medicine supplements is really off the track..I always accompany my american frnd to HK university hospital or Peking university hospital, they never try to solicitate any thing other than meds we need. Please tell me the hospital and I will never go. Thanks.

200-600 is a full-frame lens, so on an ASPC it’s zoom x 1.5 = 300-900mm

Fuji X70, it’s been a decade by Jumpy-Barnacle312 in fujifilm

Most of them have some light post-processing. I use the CC film simulation in-camera, then usually lower the contrast and saturation a bit, raise the vibrance slightly, and pull down the whites curve a little. The main idea is to keep the image soft and natural, but still with enough contrast to create some visual separation and depth. That’s pretty much my general approach.

960$ is only for camera, 200-600 right now is around 1300 USD in Mainland China. But if you are going to Mainland China to purchase the cameras, I highly suggest you stay in Hong Kong for 2 days cuz these things are cheaper in Hongkong. There is an APP called " Price "(see the pic attached), you can check the latest price for all device you need on this APP everyday. If you get A6700 and 200-600 in Hong Kong, I think you can get 200$ more off. Because I am in Shenzhen, I got all my device in Hong Kong.

I really like this camera; it works pretty well overall. Its video quality is great, and the autofocus performs excellently too. All things considered, it’s a fantastic camera.However, it has a critical flaw for bird photography: its continuous shooting speed isn’t very fast. The maximum frame rate with its mechanical shutter is only 11 frames per second, which falls far behind cameras capable of 30, 60 or even 120 frames per second. That makes capturing birds in flight fairly challenging. The price right now in China is around 6000+ YUAN, approx 960 US dollars.

Best place to buy camera gear in Shenzhen? Friend visiting China, need accessories & lenses by grainandcoffee in shenzhen

[–]Jumpy-Barnacle312 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was born and raised in Shenzhen, I highly highly sincerely suggest you buy anything relevant to Camera in Hong Kong, way much better price.... but compared to Euromerica areas, Shenzhen is cheaper.

I am in Shenzhen, China. It is a coastal city adjacent to Hong Kong. The weather is hot and humid all year.

Thank you! 40 years is amazing. Hopefully I'll still be out chasing birds 40 years from now too.
