I don own that 55-200, so can't tell you what so special with it. But you can search for photos in Alphanantics, it produce pic with quite good IQ.

i second that....the extra MPs are depend on the needs..
buy a kit...train with the basics...then buy a flash...
after all then only consider a second lense...

i remembered it also...miahahahaha!!!

eh arief, you are from Muar ? hehe

Just want to share, short explanation from Digital Camera Magazine about filters :

With filters, you get what you pay for. The inexpensive ones may be inadequately coated to suppress flare or insufficiently hardened to minimize abrasion. Filters from reliable manufacturers such as B+W, Cokin, Hoya, Lee, Singh-Ray, and Tiffen won't compromise sharpness or contrast. But adding a glass surface to the outer lens barrel increases the chance of flare when light strikes it at oblique angles, so always use a lenshood.

Apa lagi... buy buy buy! hehehe... back already kah? Pics from the trip!! show show!

Oooo... how bout Sony ori VG then?does it use 1 by 1 or both as one as well?

i used to own this lens...in fact i own it twice!!! my personal verdict for this lens is, its quite useful in most of the time...normally, tele lens start at 70m, which sometimes too 'sempit' for me...focusing in a good lighting was ok, although hunting at low light. the size was compact too...can easily fit in normal sling bag while being attach to camera...picture quality is good considering to its price...nice, sharp and good bokeh too...i guess you can get the good 2nd hand unit at around rm450-500

as a sony vg user, the grip will detect the lower percentage and change it to the second battery after the first one depleted, regardsless i placed it in position 1 or position 2. and in my case i used both sony batteries. i dunno what will happen if used one ori and one 3rd party?,...

anyone can clarify this?

i guess sony VG also use the batt one by one...it just that, it can display the capacity of both batt while the octopus one show only the activated batt

how is the kitty SAM18-55 IQ so far? anybody posted anything?

So after one battery depletes, it will switch to another one and display its power percentage ?

Nice colour

yup

Wow the bokeh for the new kitlens is nice wei. (:

wah... that's what I wanted to know. whether it switches battery automatically or we have to switch it manually... thanks...

actually for sony vg...

it will auto choose the lowest power n use it till finish... then auto change to the other batt without u noticing it..

n both of the batt power is stated in ur camera lcd in % value..

nice?


ya la... i didnt expect it going to be like that at 55mm...

hey all alpharian...just now i went into D300 threads and saw them just keep on insulting a700....
just dunno y they wanna look down on us loh....saying a700 is FUGLY and square like a Spogebob.....damn...
