yeah u r right..thanks bro

AlphaBeta: Undeniably, the professional-level offerings from Canon and Nikon have more features, but if you need an autofocus Zeiss or say the 135mm F2.8/T4.5 STF, you have no choice.

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. 

ok..undeniable..noise aspect..sony has no fight against C or N..but maybe due to my shooting habits..i dont really have chance to shoot anything more than 1600 yet...and from my test..3200 stil looks perfectly fine to me after my PP..

weather proof wise..well..being an asian guy..too bad i hardly bring my slr to play around with snow..the only chance i had when i was on my trip to korea..my humble a300 works fine..but of coz i never cover it with snow purposely(whats the point anyway)..and i remember i read about an article writing about bringing a900 to some extreme weather..and it works perfectly alright too..but again..its good to have function..but how many of us do that?

wireless flash is good...i seriously feel the need of it after i migrated to a850..but dont feel like spending money on extra flash yet T_T

grip wise..actually as long as its not too small...most of the grip i've tried(D90..D300....350D..5Dm2..50D..a300..a850) works fine on my palm..perhaps im not that picky..

i understand a300 is obsolete but what is the last pricing for it (as a guidance only)? i intend to get it as my 1st dslr because of its 'live view' where else nikon & canon do not have?

AlphaBeta: Eh, Pentax makes very feature-ful bodies with very desirable compact pancake lenses! Their K7 is an APS-C wonder. Go try one, seriously.

The K7 has a redesigned grip. That said, if you ever look through the menus you'll be convinced!

under heavy rain, how u goin to do it? even with ur body is water-proof, i wonder how r u goin to handle the front lens covered with water... 

initially...
later on...

think about olympus. i bet ur love will change as time goes by... 

Somebody mentioned shooting in snow?


No problem! My A200 still alive.. Pardon the bad exposure. I just bought the camera 2 month before I went there.
Of coz, it's not covered by snow la.

------

Is 51 AF point an overkill ? 
just wondering 

AlphaBeta: I used the A550 for a whole day, entirely in Live View mode. It's just so much quicker to get the angles I want (plus popping into MF Check LV best done with the camera away from one's face.)

Wonder is getting 70200G a good potrait lens? I find that i prefer to take Food + Ppl.....mayb could b my next lens in maaaannnnyyyyyy months to come...

who hving this lens ? i wonder is it crazy to carry this big white lens around?? hahaa

another TT, too bad i got to miss tis again
