Eh wat happened? first wanna get the VG n wait for angpow for kitlens replacement (Tats very long to go.!) .. skrg apa apa pun cant get liao? i oso feel wanna get the VG... whats the normal rate for the VG? sony center display unit Rm 980 consider ok price or not?


Wow.. smthing i like bout sony is they really design their product "like no others" beautiful... but seems a bit "hard" to use ... make me feel wanna spend on "deco" my camera with all these little things.

so nice... if u come across any such deal again let me know.. the extra battery will come in handy

nice... it look like u r shooting from another plane! align nicely

hehe.. is it true?? i hav my eyes on it if is true VG not as important as the Extra battery for me..

i usually use smart sharpening too if i need to sharpen my pic.. usually i wish i no need to sharpen at all.. (depend 100% on lens power! )

Woa.. my friend will SCREAAMMMM seeing this... she hates frog too much.

Woahaha.. so cool.. A200 + A700 all in one !

Moo: u sold off all ur lens????. See ur geavity gears left the A700 body only... hehe

i nvr really use wide area AF unless im shooting landscape or group photo with higher F numb. Just now i give it a try on how this Wide Area AF can tell apart wat i may want to focus.. but seems like doesnt really work for me.. usually it just focus ... in between objects... alang alang... could be different style of shooting. or does this has to do with AF between A900 n A700? mayb could be im not using a telelens.. ? till now seem the local AF still works best for me

Plug in for PP Cs2 tats gonna be Adobe Raw.. (version 3.5 i think)... im using that .. very effective.. n fast.. Im using it together with Adobe Bridge.. very good in managing the photos n compare photos in 100%...the only bad thing is u cant keep those setting in the camera like Vivid, sharpnest + DR ++ etc etc... I believe the Sony image converter does imbedded these info into the raw file.

but The Sony Image Converter r SLOOWWWWWW... hate it.

Er... im using Adobe CS3 actually... but i think if u manage to find the older version of Adobe Raw .. it should able to run on CS2 too. not too sure

Braynumb: I checked my Adobe Raw is version 4.6.. but the only installer file i hv kept is 4.5... Im running photoshop CS3.. but i have Adobe Bridge as well..Usually I run adobe Raw through Adobe Bridge instead of Photoshop..

I go into my Adobe Bridge. Select all the photos i wanna edit.. Press Ctrl R... it bring me to another windows Adobe Raw where i can edit / batch edit everything without the need to go through Photoshop...

Woah.. feel so sayang for it if is cause by user (which i think it should.. lcd shouldnt crack by itself).. i guess u will hv to pay for the parts... hope they can FOC labour since still underwarranty


Bray i send u the installer file for the adobe raw im using... mayb u can give it a try.

WOI.. don scare me.. u serious ah.. just few days ago saw u hv almost a complete set of gears n suddenly u selling everything??? need money to get marry? hehe or jump ship.. (no need paiseh... is ok to share)

if all this is real ... im interested in the BC

secondhand A700 rm 3300 sounds... expensive.....but ... RARE HOT ITEM... so no choice!!! Buy...

Mayb i should hike up my A700 n sell it at Rm 3999!! 1 month old only! with extended warranty 2 years.. ! LELONG LELONG!

Hehe.. then after that can upgrade to A850 after cutting ppl throat. ohzmygod r u interested? ohzmygod must b saying "oh my god!!"

hehe. I actually payed another hundred (rm 180 i think) for the extra 2 years warranty..

throw in kit lens somemore.. I throw in my A100 body!! HIAK!!! .. okey i take back my word


hey.. really nice!! NICE MOMENT!! I wouldnt dare to shoot smthing like this.. im too timid.. the "flare" comes in very naturally to set up the mood.. tell me that is not photoshoped

agree

"SONY. LIKE NO OTHERS!" but these days not as "cold" as 2 years back lo.. Last time ppl see sony is like .. "WTF!! WTF IS THAT!! hahahha SONY GOT DSLR!??? must get.. NIKON/CANON still the best (depend which fanboy is him).... dont even know sony got release dslr then still can criticize...obviously he knows nothing..

50 F1.4 of course is considering upgrade too (small step).. can fit for fullframe, F1.4, n i heard they say sharper n better image quality oh... nvr really compare side by side with F1.8 so i cant tell. or u can skip all these mini lenses.. n go directly for the 135 F1.8!... AHMIKE!! TIME TO RELEASE POISON!

It happened to me once in a while.. forget to turn off body power.. a bit worry too..

I go out jalan jalan this afternoon to test some shot.. I find these 2 "contrasting" signages.. n decided try to Focus on the signage to see if it works.... Turns out i think both of the r OOF...Shooting at higher F of course no problem since everything is sharp..

Photos below:


The photos r without crop.. shooting using Spot focusing Iso 100, F 2.8 -3.5, Shutter speed 1/100 n above.
I wish to get all experience sifus .. under this kind of condition.. is focusing on the signage (of that size) difficult for the camera? is it my problem i shouldnt even thinking of shooting using F2.8 since it will not work like tat anyway...Im trying to prove is it my shooting problem or d lens problem.. i hvnt got an answer yet

Yeah... by right at tat distance.. the signage should be in focus easily right.... i din try the manual focus with it... kinda hard to tell if is focusing correctly if manual..
I hv oredi did the chart test... but i cant really tell if it has focusing problem... scare i did the test wrongly.. shame to show here.... but hopefully u guys can help up...


Testing image quality at different F number:


Finally ur gears r Back after they r lost from the list

I was browsing back some old photos taken during March 2008 TT in Timesquare.. reminds me of some interesting photos...

I was playing with this i believe since the following photos r taken at 135mm F 1.8 :





photos taken from within the starbuck through glass n across over the cinema side.... Nice lens.. n it oso manage to capture smthing like this...

She gonna cry if she find out this thread...

nonono.. i don have lens that is more than 50mm!! is definately not me who shoot tat

So is that means the A700 sensor has misalignment or the lens? The test result.. im not sure how to judge... Yeah d more closer i go.. d more accurate the focusing... tats wat i find..
(Well. d Bigger the subject filing up d frame)....I'll give it a test.. if i try put my focusing subject slightly lower than the Spot bracket n see how it goes..

Lets arrange a TT next week!.. pls not this week.. hehe cause im just bout to catch flight now going back hometown.. n only b back kl this sat night Really hope to get u guys test it out for me.. If not i oso dont dare to go to the seller n confirm that the lens has problem...
