Yala. lol
No me no a330.

coz indirectly I am working while showing you all ythe camera. So I OT 2 hrs from there. XD
You guys has poisoned me man. I'm snapping pics with various lenses today with the new "baby" camera. Will post pics later when I get back home. So hard to make a shot with blurry surrounding (or izzit called depth of field? )

maybe u should start some online sells and earn commision ...ofcoz privately..haha

yep it is called Bokeh!! hahah...

since u r working in sony..u shd have more chance to try out all the lenses/cameras than any of us right??


anyway...the quality/area of blurring is called bokeh(jap word)..DoF is the one determines how big/large the area u going to focus..so shallow DoF = huge area of bokeh...and vice versa...

hehehe... ya lo... consider OT also leh...

dingenius3, when you change AF points on the A330, you can see the red dots light up in the viewfinder.

lwliam: All M42 lenses are manual-focus only.

goldfries: Beats me, but the 18-55mm gains the MFD of 25cm while the 18-70mm's MFD is 38cm. Image quality does seem better and DRO+ looks much stronger in effect. However without a proper, direct, controlled experiment, I cannot say this objectively.

V12Kompressor, look for the Sony 50mm F1.4 (or 50mm F1.8 DT SAM when it comes) and put it on... you should get the shallow depth of field easily. Refer to the icon on the screen to figure out which aperture to use.

i'm more interested with the said improvements on the sensor found in the new bodies.

someone told me better not get A300, cos A200 still better in IQ / image processing. so ok la, now i want to see how A230 / A330 is.

hahhaa, finally, new GUI in play..

goldfries: i`m interested in the mentioned area too...which is the utmost improtant factor

but since that the sensor is the same one..does it mean that..if there is any improvement on the IQ...it would be due to the software aspect???

my knowledge on wads inside the camera is stil very shallow..not sure is there any new things changed/implemented which could improve the IQ other than the sensor

really??? niceeeee.....

wonder if there are any firmware updates for the a200... hm....

^lol...a200 and a300 using same sensor if im not wrong...and the new Sony's also using same sensor.. Very hard to say now....this camera still new..not much reviews yet.

should be the software...I have shallow knowledge too...but since D60 sensor is the same as that one used in A200 (IINM) then we should expect the noise control should be around there too:)
let's wait and see:) nonetheless, this small A330 will be attract many of my girl friends...cant wait to see its size!

cos i see the price difference quite a lot leh. so i was wondering what IMPROVEMENTS do they have.

i hope its not because of new body/stylish design..(but hey, the golden/brown version looks damn cool) just like the white pentax, damn cool too

same sensor doesnt really mean same level of noise, it all depends on how are the upgrades in the firmware/NR algorithm being run inside the processor.. so newer cams surely will be better in that sense, since i believe most manufacturers will definitely update things like these...

this is what separates N and Sony, since sony is the one providing the sensors for nearly most of their cams... but N's algorithm somehow works better than sony's..

yeap that is what i hope to see too!

as long as the hardwares arent too much diff..same NR algo shd b able to apply across the similar range....if the improvement is software base...doesnt it mean that theoretically a300/350/200 shd b able to enjoy the same benefit just that sony decided to give it a skip inorder to boost their sales for the new models?

Bingo!
