Hehe good luck finding one mate. Its like hunting a very elusive and rare animal. Can start at sony centers that people rarely goes like Subang Parade. That's where i found mine . Forget calling SC lines, They have been trained to say it doesnt exists. Same thing going to other camera shops. I remembered there 's one a350 display unit for sale at JJ OU but other forumers says its better not to get it. Can try your luck at Subang Parade SC as theres two a300 there one is the twin lens kit (which i already grab XD ) and the other one is a single lens kit. Test kaw2 first.

Wahlou .. this is what I want .... What is Raynox ?

Anyone willing to have training session for newbie ? How about we organis to Zoo Negara during this weekend ?

Do you use manual focus or auto focus for it?

Is there having Marco Competition?

Yea .. who one to be organisor ? Please ....

May b cjlai can organise..

Wish I was in KL... hmm... too far for me... to learn tips and tricks from fellow alpanian, you can always join TT (Teh Tarik/Tech Talk) Sessions... you can learn alot from others... ask Mo0... he always know when's the next TT session... hehehe

depends on what type of macro you're taking... for insects/moving objects, I prefer Auto... but for flowers, I prefer manual... coz then you can choose which details you want to keep in focus...

when? where?

mOo bro the TTT (Teh Tarik session Taiko)

And provide sp90

Yes .. fast ..... how ? This weekend ?

hmmm since noone answer this, i will.

if the warranty card is unfilled. here is the tips to workaround to get the warranty working properly.

first of all, sony service centre (SSC) requires u to have an official reciept of the AUTHORISED shop u brought from to be able to send in for warranty service. unauthorised shop usually, u send it back to the shop, the shop to the supplier, and supplier to the backdoor SSC. but if u already register it in sonystyle, ur unit able to go in front door

the date will be refer to your official reciept+filled warranty card and sonystyle registration (make sure it match).

what u need to do to work around it is, (for unfilled and unregister unit, with or without reciept,...)
1. if u dont have the reciept
2. unfilled warranty card.
3. not registered online with sonysytle/mysony. (with all this, u can basically throw away the reciept)

let say ur camera was damange today.
1. go register ur gear in mysony/style.
2. during registration, when there is a column where it ask, where u get ur item from, pick, "GIFT" (so u wont have receipt! yay)
3. pick a buy date, maybe a week before (so u still eligible for the additional +3 month warranty)
4. then wait for a month, (dont send ur camera instantly, they will smell something fishy... wait for a few month)
5. email to sonystyle, they mostly will pass ur mail to ms. ann (sony alpha customer service )
6. write some bullsh*t how ur camera failed you. and ask how can u do ur warranty without a reciept because u got it as gift
7. they will give u instruction how to send it in for warranty



* i went to SSC in midvalley without any documentation, just the camera, and they still accept in for me

Speaking of Macro , I missed Ryzan

a lot ppl still misslead with the Ax00 and Ax30 camera. for new users or going to be Alpha owner. let me enlighten you.

A330 is not any 'worst' then A300, infact, the result/output of A330 is Better then A300! (pls dont compare it with A700 and A900)

the diff is just, the practical-ness of A300 has be alter in A330 that it is not that practical anymore BUT, more then 50% of the A300 user dont use it's MWB, or the quick local AF. so it doesnt really matter to Alpha developer.) but they do give u a better interface~ for easy learning.

BUT, A330, better shutter, better SSS, better DRO, better ISO will give u a upper hand in picture quality. e'nuf said.

thus the conclusion is, A330 is a good camera for a new owner. but it is not an upgrade for existing A300 user.
