my roomate and i will go to hotel istana on 7th november...huhuhu
*
Most important is do ur homework.. check out wat suit you the best... money/usage/ mayb even kakis...(if many of ur friends using certain brand)... any many other factors.

When I first wan to get a dslr... I oredi set my eye on Canon 400D.. 1st. bcause of the "BRAND" i oredi know it even b4 i done any research. 2nd. bcause im using Canon pns camera before this. Then when i finally go through some research... I come out with few options... 400D / A100/ pentax K100... from there i finally decided A100 for this few reason:

1. Cheaper compare 400D (during that time)
2. 18-70mm (better range n better kit lens)
3. SSS (long term saving in IS/VR lens... I know i wont be Professional journalist or whoever that rely cari makan with camera)
4. Better grip for my hand...n better body buildquality..
5. Minolta technology n Sony (believeing in its quality control) , can get some old , but excellent minolta lens..(end up i din buy any minolta lens tongue.gif)
6. No friends playing dslr that time... im the first one.. so i din get any influence from others.. tongue.gif 100% own decision.. n still im glad with my decision... hehe

On other hand. I know the Noise level for the A100 unable to beat the 400D... but the above reasons is enough for me to decide wat i want.
So end of the day.. get what suit u best.. n Not following wat ppl generally SAY!

AlphaBeta: This, most simply, shows how the STF works optically:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Note that unlike the Defocus Control or Soft Focus lenses, it does not add a layer of haze or soften the out-of-focus area. Instead, every single out-of-focus point is graduated from the center. Thus there is never an out-of-focus thick stripe with bright outlines (bad bokeh!)

Also, the front element is oversized so that all OOF points are perfect circles (the 135mm F1.8 in the comparison, gives cat's-eye bokeh the further away from the center.)
*
Wow.... din know a bokeh can be so much different.... it makes me take note of "watever that is OOF" now in my photo... sweat.gif

asking 1 Q here...
go for A700 or A550...?
*
Hard choices... but i'll still stick with A700 (or replacement model)... A550 make fully use of liveview.. if u don need them.. i suggest A700 still a better one. But then.. A550 iso performance better...But the A700 build quality.. give me enough reason to stick with that..

Thanks albert for the great A550 review.. nothing compare to the High iso performance that impress me... at iso 3200, it is still SO CLEAN!! very very useable.! really a breakthrough for sony...

HDR function could b very useful for landscape.. But using it with "moving objects" like how u did with the human moving away.. oso can create unexpected interesting image. keke

I dont really sure what the improvement on the liveview compare to the A300 since i nvr use LV b4.. tongue.gif Just know that it can magnifiy 100% when doing MF. But it seems to be the most advance LV dslr in d market now.

Hi guys, i'm new to DSLR world and I just got myself a used Sony Alpha A100 as my first beginner camera. smile.gif

I found that this camera is quite easy to use and I wanna drop by here to ask one simple n00b question, without buying an expensive macro lens, what's the best solution for me to take a close photo?
*
So happy that there are still ppl appreciate the A100 laugh.gif Love the camera... I omost letting go of it...till i decided to keep it myself. Wonder will this camera last me for another 10 years.. If i din use it long time, will it bcome malfunction?? like car din warm up

fuyyoh.. u got A800! (A100+A700) hahaha... thumbup.gif

it sure will come handy if can combine n bcome powerfull fullframe! & When need 2 bodies for shooting wedding etc.. can separate!! brows.gif too much transformers...

I just took out out my A100 to play play while charging my A700 battery just now... & suddenly i feel so weird to hold my A100 again..especially d front scroll...it feel.. small n hard to scroll.. Must use it once a while if not scare later donno how to use it anymore...



I got a question... When i look into my A100 viewfinder...I saw a few blackdots in it... when i move my eye away a bit from d viewfinder i can see a line (like smkind of stain) on the viewfinder..

it is not dust on the sensor as it doesnt appear on my photo... Check d mirror n it look clean too... Clean the outer glass of the viewfinder oso is clean.. Not sure wat was it & where is the stain stick to... Could it be Fungus growing inside the camera? rclxub.gif
