well i'm not.. but i've seen the effects of heavy metals have on humans.. constant exposure is definitely not very good..
 I seem to have some problem my sigma 24-70 on my a200.. i read that it's center and border resolution is supposed to be quite good but most of the shots i take have a very soft border and even sometimes soft center... Seems like it's backfocusing alot in slightly less than optimal light condition.. Is there any way to fix it other than sending it to sigma for calibration? Cos the technician say need to send together with my body to singapore and would need more than a month to get it calibrated... Added on August 21, 2009, 5:52 pmI want to test it throughly on an a700.. but i don't have an a700 body to test with... Maybe it's the a200 AF not working so accurately.. I can't use the most edge focusing point on the a200 to focus my shots.. it'll sure go soft.. This post has been edited by raist86: Aug 21 2009, 05:52 PM |

QUOTE(albnok @ Aug 21 2009, 04:46 PM) MemorableStudios: Er, I've got a Minolta Dynax 7 which has a grip sensor and eye start sensor (it started with Minolta film bodies.) The Minolta Dynax 9 also had a grip sensor. I met an *******, who laughed at me for using Sony, he said why "you're using Sony ? make tv can la, but not camera..hahaha"The Konica Minolta 7 Digital lost the grip sensor. The Konica Minolta 5 Digital after that also didn't have it. The Sony A100 still didn't have the grip sensor but the A700 brought it back. The Dynax 9 was Minolta's last professional-level SLR with a 100% 0.74x viewfinder (same as the A900). The Dynax 9 also had a grip sensor, so there was no reason for Sony to purposely remove it on the A900. Unless the EU buat kacau. Funny thing is, the Dynax 9 was the first professional-level SLR to have a pop-up flash and could control wireless flashes and people laughed at it*, saying it's not a pro camera because it has a pop-up flash. It is likely because of that, that the A900 doesn't have a pop-up flash... but Nikon got the idea and put a pop-up flash on the D700... which is now, the only full-frame dSLR with a pop-up flash. (The Canon 5D/MkII/1D/1Ds do not have it.) I've been following the Alpha series (had the A100, A700 and then A900) and anybody who has been around that long would know about the grip sensor issue. It's quite uh... common knowledge. * People also laughed at the invention of auto-focus and multi-segment metering, but now every camera has it!  |

thank you bros and sisters, it's funny when people just couldn't let go of the fanboy mentality.
me myself eyeing new lens..and on the verge of switching to a new job..eyeing 5dmk2 if everything goes well(or maybe a850 if it has HD video recording capability)..was poisoned by the Kuroshio Sea video on youtube. P/S : But on second thought, I would not want to miss the great Alpha community, globally and locally  .This post has been edited by nabelon: Aug 21 2009, 08:49 PM |

raist86: The A700 has a F2.8 sensor in the middle, for more accurate focusing and the ability to detect focus faster.
nabelon: That aquarium video isn't a good example of dSLR video (the main reason people like it is for shallow depth of field.) That video could've been shot with a point-and-shoot with HD video capability! However, I still strongly dislike the rolling shutter effect (seen on every video dSLR to date.) When subjects move quickly across the frame, they flicker! |

That's why i hope to get access to an a700 to test the focusing accuracy of the sigma.. if nothing wrong with the lens, den i don't need to bring it back to have it fixed. |

The A700 non-EU version is the only Alpha with a grip sensor.
I used to press the Drive button on the A100 to disable Eye-Start AF. Otherwise, I love Eye-Start AF; it's like AF-C but it doesn't hunt. Use Eye-Start AF to aim near a subject to get it in focus... then half-press and shoot then. |
