I'd still prefer A700 due to larger sized magnesium alloy body. After using A700 for a while, A200 feels tiny in my hands.

Now anxiously waiting the pricing for A850. If it's not much different from A900... I might just get the A900 for its superior built (although a700 quality built on the A850 is not that bad too).

But I do believe it may different in term or performance btw each model? For eg. like a person who drive proton saga and mercedes, even if he dont know all those special function which embedded in mercedes car, he still can drive mercedes car faster than driving a proton saga. Doesn't it?

I got u!!
If u were to choose between these 2 model. Which 1 would u prefer?

Wow... full series of Poison spreader.. 11-18 oso one of my wish lens for travelling
hahaha good good.. wanna show the F2.8 power... n full size best without PP colour enhancing. Usually my 50mm i don need PP but my kit lens i usually will.

Yea when ppl ask me to get a500 I still dont think its better than a700 actually. LOL.

hahaha.. i dont mind a TT... i hv not attend any TT for a long time oredi... (smtime i avoid TT cause d poison r too strong...) but now i do like to TT to find out wats my next lens.. n perhaps body..
...tats my worry... i heard some1 selling new body A700 for rm2900 i should grap it tat time...

I  think if the image quality for a500  = to A700, but A700 has better body build Quality + controll.. i just go for A700.... actually disappointed.. not a fully A700 upgrade(waiting for 1-2 years)....very much wanna hold d A500 now.. get the feel of it... but

"The DSLR-A550 and DSLR-A500 digital SLR cameras are available from the end of October 2009. "

I think if i wait till that time to test it out, All A700 will be ALL gone!!.  

aha.. i c u hv SAL1118 one of my wish lens for travelling. must bring!

Added on August 28, 2009, 2:10 amOk i hv give up my hope for A500/550 for my next upgrade.. it is afterall the "replacement for A100"..... A700 here i come start hunting... any1 knows where still selling the body??? must b very very rare now.

This method was first discovered on Dyxum by this dude Agorabasta.

Zone Matching set to -1 to bring out the shadows (longer exposure and different tone curve.)

But then if you take a shot, you might find blacks to be too bright... so you need to set Brightness to -2.

Sharpness set to +3 to shrink the noise reduction pattern (try at -3 and then +3... you can see more detail with +3, and smaller 'grain' at high ISO. If not it will look blotchier.)

Finally, Saturation I put to +1 because I like it that way.

want extra lens for portrait purpose , any recommend lens less than rm1k?
