No it's not. It's with the 18-70. New one is 18-55.

oic...tq for the info,

*the poison has been decreased drastically..

a700 bodi only,othewise it bundle with 18250 or 16105

marushin : why the new kitlens best? IQ good?

IQ great,sharpness decent for a kitlens.its a plus if use on a700

for a700 nothing less than a cz

E:62:20 error code. you guys know what error it is?

that is the max speed for the popup right? (x sync speed)

totally agree....cz plus a700 = lower level of a900+cz2470....

I wanted to upgrade to A700.. but seem like it better to wait for the 3 coming model.. hmm October..

So what other accessories from Sony are real cool?

The new LCS-WR1AM wrapping cloth, that's what! I got one in brown. It's like a bag for your camera, but foldable!

The Japanese are very clever - this might've been something from their Origami books!


Here, it wraps a Sony Alpha 900 body with Minolta 24-105mm F3.5-4.5(D) lens and Sony HVL-F58AM flash. Perfect general-purpose combo (which isn't as chunky as the Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70mm F2.8 SSM.)

The ring at the end, is an elastic band that can catch onto the lens. Practice will tell you whether to put the camera more towards the center or towards the sides, so that the elastic band will wrap around the lens nicely.


Here, it wraps a Sony Alpha 900 body with Minolta 24-105mm F3.5-4.5(D) lens and Sony HVL-F20AM flash. Perfect social event/party combo! (Alternatively, a smaller Minolta/Sony 50mm F1.4 can be used...)


Of course, it is not limited to small lenses - here it wraps a Sony Alpha 900 body with Sony Carl Zeiss 135mm F1.8 lens.

It would've fit the Sony HVL-F20AM flash in as well, but the HVL-F58AM flash would not fit, so it would go into its own belt pouch. Which isn't half bad because you don't need to carry any camera bags at all! I don't find it fashionable to be walking around with a huge backpack, looking like a turtle in the process (I've always been a fan of sling bags.)

There is, however, the Optimus Prime trailer paradox... where does the cloth go when it's unwrapped?

Sorry to take this slightly off-topic.

In Live View modes of some DSLRs (excluding the Alphas - hence the off-topic), the mirror and shutter flips back down while focusing so that the AF sensor can be used, then flips back up so that Live View can be resumed. So wouldn't such a system add yet more wear-and-tear on the shutter?

thanks! really can't wait to go to the flash workshop... hehehe...

hmm... wonder why the 430EX didn't want to fire... tried bounce light, tried direct... none of them seemed to work... hmm... could it be that the flash's sensor was broken??

Guys, yest i went scouting....bintang maju in summit quoted RM1599 for a200 single kit lens + 4gb cf (pendrive with 40mb/s writing speed) and a bag (it was a nikon bag, lol! it seems he dont have sony bag..hahaha!) Is this price ok? and then, right in front of the shop, sony was setting up a kiosk booth, it seems they having some promo and sales today till sunday....and i saw the 'glorious' alpha logo on the booth....can they offer better price, or their pricing will be the same like sony style? thx guys....

I doubt the price would be any different from SS.. usually they open on behalf of the store anyway... so, they don't quite have the authority to lower prices...

Ic....i'll try to go today n see what they can offer...thx for the info btw...
