stil got space to make it tighter right??there r empty spaces on top of the head...

50mm on FF is close to wad u said...on apsc..its 'zoomed'...

since u own sony stuff n ur frens own nikon stuff...i tot u shd know which acc shd b cheaper by now??

anyway..d90..d300 or even d700 is depend on ur need n how deep is ur pocket..perhaps u shd let us know ur expected function b4 we can recommend anything to u...when u feel that ur skill is limited by the gear..so ahead n upgrade...its good that u have ppl who can pass their lenses for u to test it out...maybe u r more comfortable with ur frens..otherwise im sure u could test out all the 'premium' lenses during alpha TT too....at least thats someting i nv tried b4..lol..all those lenses i've bought..first time seeing it = the time buying it...

don worry..me too.. =)

its been 4days without my camera...hands kinda itchy....feel so emtpy in my flickr..no new uploads.. =(

hopefully the sensor cleaning + possible calibration of the camera cost <100SGD....just incase the so called 'international warranty' isnt accept by the service center... >.<

first impt thing..very very impt...its Alpha =p *just incase next time users from other brands make fun of u *

i think at least 80% of the bros here would recommend u a300 as a start...don think the extra 4MP would giv u any significant difference...infact u'll probably end up with noisier picture...just my 2cents worth...




btw guys...i think sony heard my nonstop whining over here...hehe..they jsut called me...even if i failed to show them my 'valid' warranty...it'd only cost me 60bucks for cleaning + calibration...phew...now i can finally go slp =)

perhaps shd let the entry guy like me try out the entry lvl first....so when we upgrade...we would feel the impact..and appreciate more on the technology..

of coz anyone with a deep pocket can buy a900 and all the zeisses as their entry...but they wouldnt really know how to appreciate it...

i dunno...i sent in both my 50mm n camera...and i told them..some of my pics from the 50mm r very soft..probably need to calibrate...so they just write "need calibration" down lo....

been using my tamron sp90 and carlzeiss 1680 very often nowadays...feel so sorry to my 50mm..lol...when i got it back..must think of sumthing to make full use of it.. >.<

don even think about it...lol....

i had one that comes as a freebies along with my a300...firstly..the build feels like crap..loose joints...shaky..hard to align to the position/height u wan(partly due to loose joints)....i wont even wan to put my flash on it...

u'd b surprised how 'creative' i am in using all sorts of things around me to stack up and bcome my tripod =.= but of cos..safety of my gears always come first..

thumbs up for the super fast workrate by sony service center singapore~!

the story goes like this..

on monday afternoon..i sent in my camera and 50mm for cleaning+callibration..and the service officer told me that none of their engineer is working on monday..so they would not b able to carry out the assessment on my gears(since i cannot show them warranty card) and i would have to wait for their engineer to come back to work..and tell me how much it would cost to decide whether im ok with the price...

so ok..sounds fine to me...and like what i posted this morning..they called me..and told me that the price is 60bucks..and i told them..ok..just carry on...i was amazed by the speed when they call me again during the evening n told me my gears r ready for collection...and what even surprised me was that..i notice i actually had a missed call yesterday from sony...so supposingly..i shd b notified by them on weds morning and collect my stuff in the evening!! thats like they only took tues n weds 2 working days for the assessment + collection...thats amazingly fast to me...good job!

ah of cos nope..working night shift this week..when they called just now..i was on my way to work..would collect on monday instead....but since they said my stuff is ready for collection..i guess they would have done wadever they need to do...so very happy with the speedy services...and of cos..im satisfied with the price..much lower than what i expected..

*okay..im supposed work now and company doesnt have any internet connection..so im doing illegal stuff here..so i guess i better go work first..back here later..

how about using ur flash wirelessly??i find it quite fun to play with..and other than diffuse the light..we could also use the distance to play with the brightnness...

looks useful to me...but at the same time..it looks like something which could b DIY-ed.....*infact i saw some forumers in a singapore forum order their own parts n did one which almost the same...

check what??whether we make good pictures with the cameras?? =p

im working night shift last nite...back to home at 7am..and going to eat my chawan mushi now and slp =p

sigh...really no new camera like a700 or a900 range...

okay..i'll hang on with my a300 n stop turning into a gearhead..~ wahahaha...a300 ftw..

thats stil !@#!@# exp...totally not worth it at all....
