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..

^
no, the F20 cant be triggered by the F42, but it can work the other way around...
the F20 doesnt have an optical receiver..

nickilala: lens does not effect at all, the sensor (both 1.5 crop factor) might.. one's CCD, the other's CMOS.. in terms of noise level, dynamic range, max image resolution

personal experience, i sent my A700 for servicing at North Point MV the other day. The warranty proof that they look for is the cash sale receipt that you get from the shop that you bought from.. even the warranty extension card does not count as a proof of purchase... this is the case when you did not register your product online at the website stated above by the others.

*i wasted 3 months warranty coz didnt register online within 7 days of purchace T.T so instead of 15 mths, i only got 12 mths from date of purchase*

Camera Model - Sony Alpha A100
Lens - Minolta 50mm F1.7
Exposure - 1/60s, f/1.7 @ 400 ISO



SELAMAT BERBUKA PUASA EVERYONE~!!!

its all about marketing, tease you people with awesome low ends without any news of higher end ones, then when market is full of new lower ends, then POW! introduction of much better mid range bodies at prices that are hard to resist forcing those with more financial ability to dump it for the mid range ones.

will be better, but your flash will nearly always fire at full power... and it only works if there's a low ceiling for you to bounce at..

the flash's power is controlled by the body via TTL

i'd support soulfly on that.. but wouldnt dismiss moo's reasoning as well, as thats the exact reason i got my A700, and i'm glad i took the jump

word of precaution, its getting harder and harder to get hold on good A700 deals lately..

that's all i needed to hear

no need 58 so high end 1st la.. 42 enough d.. next time upgrade body that time, get with 58 (or anything newer that time) then 42 can use as slave

weiliang88: there are only 2 choices so far if u want AF (auto focus)

the sony's new 50mm f1.8 or minolta's 50mm f1.7

of coz there are other 50mm 1.4's and 50mm macros, but those will be another level of price all by themselves..

use single shot AF or automatic AF mode instead of continuous AF.. that should fix your problem
