btw it comes with a Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo 8GB..the owner keep telling me its a very fast card..lol...is it really good??i check ebay.sg its selling roughly 50+usd

SP90 is cheaper than Sp60 because SP60 is newer. Forgotten where I saw dy.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA........... congratzzzzzz ACHEW~!!!

now achew is in the pulprem league d....congrats bro...do give us a review on the camera bro....

so far so good..im trying to do some comparison on the ISOs(well..suppose to be the same as a900)..but i had some small issues here..lol...

firstly...my mac has no sw to read the RAW files yet..so i guess i had to settle with xfine jpgs at the moment...and 2ndly..im trying to shoot in my room with my flash(HSS enabled)...using aperture priority..but somehow..i always get over exposed shots on iso800 onwards...hmm..stil figuring out whats going wrong..lol

hint hint iphoto does it picks up my A350 just fine

congrats....

Between a Flipside 200 and Fastpack 200, which is a better buy ?
I would store a Sony A200 (attached SAL18250), SAL50F18, future Flash Gun....

nope..iphoto does not have the update for a850 yet..so does camera raw and lightroom.. =)

1) which one u prefer..kamera at bottom of the bag or behind ur back?

2) which method u prefer to reach the camera..?

my bad..never realized my iphoto is 08 version..not sure whether there is any update for 09..downloading it now =)


thanks wonka =D

I am waiting for a550 to come out le. Or upgrade like u a850. Hhehehe.

I need some comments from owners of either or both of these LowePro.

cj, u alwaz tipu them makan makan then shot them izzit? haha

OMG CONGRATULATIONS achew!

The higher your ISO, the further HSS-ed flash can go. I tried my F58 with 1/32 power with wide panel pulled out, 1/1000s 50mm F1.4 ISO800 - it seems to light up something 1-2 meters away. Or you could just bounce it.

So far the only RAW processor we know of, that reads A850 files, is DxO Optics Pro Elite 5.3.5 - you can use that to export a DNG file which can be read by any RAW processor.

cjlai: Great focus control!

i immediately wanna ask u .."how d heck did u get that kind of BOKEH?""" is like u r shooting with light city background FAAAARR FARR away from d subject.. thats b4 i see d last sentence..

I think Achew sp90 potrait king! n ryzan sp90 macro king!

my personal comment.. the human is joining/blending into the trees.. since is a silhouette shot.. i find composition of the subjects become very crucial. so u gotta grap ur chances.. (unless u can ask the person to move to ur desire locaction )

oredi congrats u in FB but still need to x2 congrats again here! i guess u r the very First A850 user here... oredi put ur name in d first page.. A850 owner list?

btw.. i collected my A700 today~ with extend 2 years fotokem warranty yeaha
money burned for this new babe (box dated 2007..with many discount voucher inside tat hav been expired !!) + 1k servicing + insurance + tax my car look like i'll hv to wait next month for a new lens...

Just now finally got the chance to go and try the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 at Ampangmall...take a walk from klcc. thanks to albert for letting me know the place.
after trying it for just a while.. im pretty sure that this is d lens i want (over the Sal16105) finally solved my dilemma choosing between SAL vs TAMRON... beautiful solid build quality lens. sharp at most of d focal length. n d F2.8 surely help shooting in d lowlight interior.. another interesting fact i find out on the spot is the Minimal focusing distance.. is around 10cm from lens front!! instead of 1.3 feet for the kit lens from sensor. just d ideal range for shooting food

d Good thing, i make up my mind on which lens to go. d Bad thing...

See, I told u the Tamron 17-50 f2.8 is damn nice. Now u kena poison oredi.

at first hkhk mentioned could it probably be the metering..i tried from spot to center weighted to matrix..it doesnt help...
i was wondering..im using TTL + aperture priority..should the camera adjust the correct exposure itself??? i tried to use iso1600..and camera give me shutter around 1/300..which overexposed badly..i try to use manual..i only get almost correct exposure at around 1/2000...i dont really understand y the camera choose such a low speed..

btw my DRO+ was on..does it really matter?i roughtly remember the setup was like iso800..shutter 1/200~300..F2..F58 using TTL auto..and my subject is only 0.9m away

anyway...just b4 i sleep..i did a really quick test on the iso(really quick n sloppy test)..all the photos are crop from the orig..no resize / editing done..xfine jpeg straight out from the camera..

iso800



iso1600


iso3200


iso6400


the original image resized to 1024px and spent 3min to edit away some noises(not the best noise removal work as i only use few mins..lol..)


i guess even for normal print 1024 shd be more than enough??which i dont see much noises left after my crappy edit(my mac charges was overexposed..lol..and the photo looks abit flat..but well..it could b better )
