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 blush.gif . 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.

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 sad.gif 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.
*
IMHO its a different segment of market. Whilst A300 are marketed to a noob who wants to learn dslr, A330 are more or less Sony's Prosumer camera. I've owned Lumix LX3 and MWB is a feature that is already built in it. They strip it as soccer moms don't have to go the hassle of setting it up.

Handling wise a300 is far superior than a330. I've contemplated to get a330 due to the rarity of a300 but the grip / the built really screams cost reduction.

w00t, regarding the A330 grip, i know a lot people (actually, just the alpha's owner) hate it. let face it, it is bad because u compare it to A300. if A300 were never around, and pop out A330, i best everyone will still be screaming how good the camera is.

Uzumaki NaruTo: i do agree, except, lx3 is not for everyone too. smile.gif again, that is ur humble opinion, my opinion may diff, so is other people. if A330 is not a learner camera? which is? A550? tit for tac, look at the price tag first. A300 is obselete, face it, A330 is the new, better A300. lol...

i still think A330 is still a good camera with the price tag at hand, compare to the "WHOLE DSLR Market". but still, A330 is still NOT AN UPGRADE for user of A100, A200, A300... it's like owning a proton2008, then u wanna upgrade to proton2009... ex1pect it to have new ICU and new fuel injection, answer is NO, u dont. people with A300, should just look at the upcoming A550 or A700. and sell ur A300 to the new comers... hehehehe tongue.gif
*
That is why you have to try and handle it before. If its uncomfortable better switch to something more comfortable to hold. I was seriously contemplate for a display a350 or a a550 due to the redesigned grip. Yes it should not be considered as an Upgrade but more to segmented market.

my range only from 24~90 leh...u hav uwa..macro..mid range..long range...prime...complete liao hahah..

Yeah but to become a bokehmon like you need a flash and prime lens. But then again cjlai's macro shoot are very tempting (He even told me need both raynox and sp90 to get the best result) .That already translates around 2k++ of purchase . sweat.gif

Any here my wife thinks that is a good thing that i am moved my vice from collecting toys to photography. Oh how wrong she is laugh.gif

well..sp90 is a prime too!! and flash is also essential for macro...so u can get sp90+flash...raynox..well..not very exp..but its okay even if u dont have it =)

so with that..u can be a bokehmon that do macro photography =D

I see.i thought only 50mm f.14/1.8 are consider as a prime lens. 90mm also falls under the same group eh? laugh.gif Raynox already got from sifu mitmivec when i started with lx3 i was thinking of selling it of for sp90 funding tho.

nv use any teleconverter b4..but its a lil bit soft imo...

i feel that with 30s exposure..the street lights at the bottom is kinda too bright compare to the lights from the building on top...u might wanna add in some filter to darken the light at the bottom a lil to make it more balanced?? or use the "black card" trick..
*
Just googled "black card" trick. Very neat. Learned something new today. notworthy.gif Later have to bring white card , black card. Credit card / ATM card probably useless cause no more balance laugh.gif

achew, enlighten me more on the black card trick..

Lets use the example that ranceed did.

If u use the black card as a 2nd shutter, basically u agak agak where the lights gonna be? then cover up say... half the lens?
