i tot the noise control are tweaked by Dx0?? i mean, from the link provided somewhere pages before, they said the Dx0 manage last minute tweaked the A850 for Sony??

correct me if i am not accurate.

this problem doesnt apply to Alpha only, it applies to almost ALL portable mass storage devices. well, when u click cancel, can u still open the drive from mycomputer? i have this problem time to time, from psp to mp3player (i think once on my camera, with old 4gb card)... i just click cancel, dont format, double click the drive again, walaaa, it opens.

accurate! if u move back, and frame it with a imaginary crop of 1.5, (meaning u shot wider composition) ur DOF will be the same.

have u tested the localAF? can u change the AF point with Dpad or have to access the menu like A330?!?!?!

THANK GOD... hahaha.

well, why arent the lcd infront of u less useful? i mean, all u have to do is, move ur head backwards, u see all info on the lcd, rather then tilt ur head backward and turn ur camera 90degree (or lower it) to see the lcdpanel... that make u unable to ANTICIPANT good shot for event, candid, tracks. seriously, think bout it. summore our sony battery life span is long. just my 2 cent, maybe people just love the lcdpanel on top.

mmm, true... but sony approach is using the Fn, so it will has less dedicate button like others

naiisss

did u know u can installment with maybankcard?

for purchase like camera body, i prefer getting from sony retail's. pay using maybankcards for 12 month installment,(sonycard can go up to 24 months!!!!and additional +1year extended warranty!!!!)

but watchout, some retailer sells demo units, as sony dont provide demo unit, they themself have to open one unit out for user to molest molest...

for lens, i get from supplier, *unfilled warranty + a little cheaper(not as cheap as KL), no catch.

*edit:typo

niceeee one! 400mm????

aside liveview and iso, i think A100 is a better body then A300, just my personal opinion. others might think otherwise

bro, u need to read up and experiment with exposure.

1. F1.8 is too wide open for board day light! use F8 if directly under the sun, unless u are under a shade/roof, then F1.8 might do (but i advise F2.8) ur shutter speed cant compasate the over exposure at the max speed (1/2000, or 1/4000)

2. flash is auto mode, when they detect u have too much sunlight from the WHOLE picture, the flash will fire at minimum powweerrr, so u need to do some read up and play around with manual flash

3. with diffusal.... =.= WRONGGGGG. it totally use for indoor to stop ugly shadow, and when u uses iso400 and above. but u can use iso400 at boarddaylight!

4. how to get bokeh but not over expose, for wide open lenses like F1.4-F2.8 for daylight shooting, ur shutter cant move faster then 1/2000 for entry level, or even for mid level, 1/4000 might not be fast enough! what u need is a +2 ND filter to cut down the light going into ur lens! (but warning! ur flash might not be strong enough to light up after using ND filter!)

ermmm. i think my advise arent really giving the direct answer, but all ur setting is wrong


*edit: ahhh i got advise already!, use P-Mode! snap snap snap, review > see the setting the camera choose to use (F number, ShutterSpeed)... learn to think Why the camera AI choose to use those setting, the AI will choose the best setting to apply to the best exposure)

yup, but the problem is, F1.8 at direct sunlight is too wide, unless u have 1/16000 shutter speed, then the metering sure can balance or iso50(super lo)

*Edit:
*edit: actually, A700, with 1/4000ss, F2.8 can work with no problem under direct sunlight (i think)

agreed. infact, alphabeta, u are looking backward, u never know what sony next step will be.... they do have the leading HD Camcorder tech, masssive funding, hunting for graphic-software company to buy out and harvest thier tech... etc and they own a huge R&D sensor factory that made sensor for both sony and nikons. they are rich.

no no we not shooting >.< hahahaha maybe we just a little agressive~ but hor, i envy u also, D90 also my dream camera! hahaha but too scare to jump, tak ada duittt

CPL filter is only uses when u know u need it, and u will know when u play DSLR after 6 month.

go check out A330. or A550 (if u can save a little longer and fork out a little more)

told ya not to study hard, work as photographer, they earn more...

mind you, a lot of concept of photography is forgotten, due to they love comfort.

yes, A330 not as comfortable(handling or feel) IF u are picky, i find it just nice.

but to let u be clear.
1. ISO on A330 is better then A300. output is important
2. A330 new shutter design helps SSS to preform better, quieter, software, and longer lifespan.
3. A330 bigger OVF help u compose better. A300 is smallest in DSLR history. composition is important
4. A330 better informative LCD info help learning easier, faster. A300 doesnt hav.
5. A330 better DRO then A300 output is important

bad thing bout A330?
1. grip, seriously, if u say u are new to camera, and not very picky, i dont see the grip is any problem, as they Dont Make Your Photo Nicer.
2. Manual/custom WB being remove. i believe, 70% of lyn A300 user still dont use it. so... will you?
3. mmm, i can go all day long, but non of these i going to mention will affect the result or output quality of the photo.
