Here we go with V9.0. Previous thread has reached limit. Continue all Alpha discussions here. This has got to be the fastest growing community right now. Keep it going fellow orange. I'm certainly enjoying my A200 ownership a whole lot due to the nice friendly Orange Legion we have here n all the million yumcha sessions we have. U gila fellas really active, new thread every 3 weeks!


Just to start off, I'll post up my Alpha Stealth which I modified myself.

Sry bout the slightly blur pics ya. My wife learning how to use the SAL50F14 in low light conditions without flash.

as usual, Alpha users who wants the userbar..

A100 :

A200 :

A300 :

A350 :

A700 :

Body
1. A200/300/350's street price is relatively cheaper than other bodies in the market. Offers the lowest cost of entry into DSLR for comparable models.
2. All Alpha systems have Wireless Flash capability built-in plus all Sony flashes are wireless capable, even the F36AM
3. All Alpha systems have Super Steady Shot (SSS) in its body hence image stabilizer technology for all lens.
4. Sony's high ISO performance is great.
5. All Alpha systems have Kelvin WB adjustments.
6. All Alpha systems have Eye-Start AutoFocus.
7. Sony currently offers the best Live View implementation among the brands. It can be tilted for more practical Live View usage. The ability to adjust WB on-the-fly with Live View and let's you see the changes immediately (only other brands/model to offer the same are the Olympus E420, Nikon D300 and D3).
8. Entry level Alphas are very user friendly and eases the transition from Point and Shoot users.
9. Better designed portrait grip which feels just like the camera grip. The shutter button is lower so you get a much more stable hold due to the lower center of gravity.
10. Fast access and multiple ways to change settings on the A700.
11. Dynamic Range Optimizer has the most practical effect of all dynamic range compression technologies of any brand.
12. Screw-drive focusing and SSS on body mean that the same lens on a future body can get faster focusing and stronger stabilization.
13. Very accurate AWB compare to other brands.

Lens
1. SAL1870 is the best kit lens among other comparable kitlenses.
2. Carl Ziess and G lens offers superb optics.
3. All Alpha DSLRs is fully compatible with older Minolta AF lenses (and you get SSS on these lenses too).
4. Most Sony lens prices are comparable to other brands.
5. Standard Sony lenses (non-G, non-Zeiss) are of excellent quality, inheriting Minolta glass quality, better than competitor's standard lenses.
Lens List

Like.No.Others
1. Sony Malaysia provides free workshop such as Basic Photography and Image Editting courses (nice prizes up for grabs)
2. Sony Malaysia offers free membership at Alpha Community for group peer support with friendly members.

vandechrome : FYI, next time number your pics so that easier for people to comment.

I like yuor last pic. Captured the ambient lights nicely. Image also clean. Good shot.

I see you are getting sharp pictures now. Keep shooting!

vandechrome, i like your wide shots.

however the flower shot seems to be just ok. probably it doesn't look that nice in that kind of framing. to me, it will work in that kind of framing if it was a bed of flowers.

or maybe try shoot from a lower angle.

haha... i know it's cheap... but in term of sharpness color n bla bla bla... is it better than the kitlens... if it is better, then worth it... if it's not better than the kitlens... then no need to look. Has anyone any experience in this lens? Thanks...

thanx bro..BTW number added to the pics



thanx bro..thats the best shots i got today..

photo #2 and #3 are the same concept & idea... maybe u can try others attempts

vandechrome, where's Gua Tempurung ar? I'd love to take my kids there. I always loved going to Bt Caves as a kid. Blasted quarry companies blew it all to hell then cant go inside anymore.






Velocity's studio damn hot like oven man. Top floor, metal roof kinda thing. After 30 minutes AC on full blast still sweating like pig.






Go put it in Garage Sales sure got lotsa ppl want.

Whoaa. So fast V9 already. damnit,i cant resist the poison of Alpha la. My friends A200 is so fun to use

Go buy an A200 lar. Y u think I have A200 beside my 40D. Hehehe. Then u can have an A200 to partner ur 40D as well.

i post two so that alpharians can comment about the quality of those pics..





Gua Tempurung at perak..near gopeng..

Can go deep inside the caves or is it just a lil bit inside. I loved going deep into Bt Caves last time. Went to lotsa caves in America too whenever I passed them by. I loooooooooooooove caves but if Gua Tempurung allows a lil bit inside oni then really potong stim.
