Sony a850

Bundle with Sony 28-75 f/2.8.

clivengu : It looks like a photoshopped a900 only to me. Where's episode 2? (:

hmm weird.. no problem here accessing alphanatics..

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.

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!

If they don't like Sony so much, then write a letter to Nikon Corp Japan and ask them to stop buying Sony sensors la.

"Dear Nikon people, we don't like Sony, the A700 is fugly, stop please stop buying Sony sensors, geli la. Byebye. Love, Some Nikon Users in Malaysia"

LOL

P.S. If any nikon users read this and get offended, I'm sorry. I like Nikons, it's just some of the users pisses me off sometimes.

hi guys, see this http://www.smashpop.net/
this guy using a700 n alwaz make a very nice shoot.
he is our member here too?

oh guys, i heard from you guys some time ago, someone of u brought your alpha (past warranty) to sony service center for change of hand grip plastic.  - apparently no charge incurred.. may i know who is it? coz i tried sending my old A100 but they said it will need to be charged, even without changing anything, will charge me RM20.. the service rep said if i got the contact number/ proof of the previous change of parts, then i can get it too..

err..im using stofen omni bounce on my F58....

Got toilet bowl diffuser for F58. I'm using one. (: Damn good. Same size as Canon Ex580ii. (:

I got it from forumer a.k.a big time businessman a.k.a mitmivec. You should ask him for a F42 size. Cause F42 definitely smaller size than F58.
