Where did u test it? Hoping 1Utama has it tho..

u can change the AF on-the-fly like A200/A300 , thank god ..
top LCD is really useful...at least for me....faster and easier control....

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.

hehe....try it then u will understand...

besides, the front lcd is hard to view under sunlight..

with top lcd, i can change almost any settings on the go without accesing the menu, i can just press and scroll.
i can change
1) drive
2) wb
3) af
4) pic quality (fine, medium ....
5) iso
6) exposure
7) flash settings....

etc etc etc etc etc etc

Guys, one question tho.. Usually after one full charge, how many shots can u take sekali gus until battery is out? My 2pid PnS after 200 shots like wana die d lidat.. very annoying ler..

waaah... you guy already test-test the a550..!!
caya la...


I read that the front LCD is coated (IIRC) to minimize reflection/glare... hence supposedly better visibility under sunlight... is that true? better than older alphas? any confirmation or comments on this?

for PnS, around 200+ shots is normal (including on/off, occasional flash, photo preview, scrolling, deleting). for SLRs, it would be around 700-800 shots.

also what conversion software included in the A550 package?

lol, no idea about alpha la....50d says to have that coating too...but under sun sorry babe...

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

Woot.... no sample photo yet but let me present the 70300G...

The SSM is really really silent and I can hardly hear the focus at all.


The G Cap...


Sexy G...


The lens comes with a pouch too, and the quality is pretty good!


The only complaint now is that the rubber grips for zooming and focusing are very easy to get dirty...

Thanks!

I paid full RRP from Sonystyle... all shops in Kuching will quote you full RRP and need to order so I might as well buy from Sonystyle online. Shashinki a bit cheaper but the 10x treatpoints for Maybank card is too hard to refuse.

Yeah it's pretty long with the lens hood. You buy a 300mm of course will zoom for that range loh.

did u know u can installment with maybankcard?

Yeah... did the installment too...
