Similarties between semi fingertip and conventional?

There aren't any really. The semi-fingertip grip calls for the fingers to go down into the holes halfway between the first and second joint (knuckle) with the tips of the fingers touching the bottom of the holes. The convention grip calls for the fingers to go all the way into the holes (to the second joint, or knuckle) and the tips will not touch the bottom of the holes.

What comes out first when the ball is relaeased?

When using a conventional (or beginner's) grip, in which the middle and ring fingers go into their respective holes up to the second knuckle, all three fingers usually come out of the ball at the same time.However, most good bowlers use what's known as a fingertip grip, in which those fingers only go in to the first knuckle. With this kind of delivery, the thumb exits the ball a fraction of a second before the fingers do, allowing the two fingers to generate extra turn on the ball and thereby increase its hook.
