if possible, get the older a200 set. Ergonomics wise, the a200 is much better to hold and easier to use. You have dedicated buttons for certain functions and you can change the AF point easily on a200. Sometimes, shrinking stuff doesn't really work out, especially if you can't shrink your hands. If you can't use the camera comfortably, then there's no point at all as you'll tend not to use it after purchase.

A200 remaining stocks should be quite cheap now. Do hurry though as once they're out of stock, they are gone.

Oh yea, a200 uses cf card while a230 uses sd..
Somehow, i prefer a cf card to SD. Not so easy to get lost and feels more solid.

blink.gif  blink.gif but the raw file IS from the same camera you adjusted the creative setting already.  blink.gif  blink.gif

RAW is like film negative. it capture only what the sensor see plus some encryption from SONY.
Creative setting, like contrast, saturation, sharpness & White balance, is additional post processing from your camera Image processor. Basically it;s an instruction code stored in the RAW file.

If you shoot in both RAW + JPG. U will see the different. U can only get the RAW image file looks like your Jpg image using the Sony software. Other Software like Picasa / ACR likely will remove the creative setting, you will have to set it when u process your image.

Thus, it;s safer for your photo. Last time I set the WB to Tungsten, and shoot with flash.. u get a heavy blue cast. You will have to spend sometime to tweek it back to normal. If you are using RAW, just remove the WB setting and you are done.

wooott!!! i am now a proud owner of a a300!!

there are a few things i want to ask, as there are soooo many things/options and it seems all so confusing.

Other than the manual, which im currently downloading, are there any links or anything that can lead me to DSLR a300 for dummies? i press on anything i can see, but i still dont get it..

and, when i take out my lens, i see the innerpart of the cam has abit of dust.. i bought the cam (2nd hand) so i think the previous user changes the lens alot.. so do i just wipe it out like that?? the guy that sold it to me was telling me keep the thing closed, you dont want dust in it.. but i forgot to ask him how to clean it if there is dust.. (im still loading the video up there, so excuse me if its explained up there, slow net in office)

And, the lens, i accdentally touched it.. so my finger print is there.. using spectacle cloth should do the trick right? i dont wanna end up with a scratched lens.. so im abit afraid of touching my cam.. lol

hmmm... so it's safe to say shooting in raw + jpeg would be the best choice if you want to avoid any mistakes.... hmm.gif

question charging the battery blush.gif
and a stupid question..

i just got myself a set of Maha Imedion, and the manual on maha charger stated that
"it is highly recommended for brand new batteries to be charged and left in the charger
overnight for the first charge to fully activate the batteries"
it said let them charged and left in the charger, how about the power?
