Str33tBoY: hahahhhaa i've seen u post that question 3 times now

A700 is definitely better than A300 in terms of low light.. im not sure if compared to D90, but its of same par as the D300, which in a way is a better body compared to D90, although being much older.

nikons are known for their low light performance, period.

until the new A5xxs are out, the A700's the best aps-c u can get at the moment from Sony

unless you're planning to jump ship, why do u even bother to look at nikon since u already have sony lenses?

and by the way, comparing apples and apples, D60 does not come close to A700/D300/D90/A5xx (for that matter)

D-lighting will usually hogs up your camera's processing speed when its turned on...
DRO will do it on the fly, so you don't have to wait for the camera to process the image and lose precious time

D90 have lotsss of good review, during A700 release, Alpha wasnt that popular yet, so review might be limited. and D90 is release about a year after A700, so the tech inside D90 should be superior.

instead of reading 100 pages of review to get to know what u wan, why not flickR it? u get to see more result out of A700 and D90. that way, u might know the skill that can bring the power of the machine out, instead reading all the spec, but still unable to shoot like pro tongue.gif

spec is one thing, it's good to know what you have and what you don't.

i'd rather advice that the buyer test the machines out for himself 1st than to look at other ppl's images.. that way it'll do the camera more justice as over in flickR, you're looking at pros/near-pros/pro-amateurs around the world at work..

at the end of the day, its all about the one behind the viewfinder that makes the most out of the camera.

actually, why not wait for A550? 14mp, 7fps, LiveView(the one missing in A700), Better ISO and DRO (compare to A700)... price? cheaper then A700

well, yes, that why i said check out flickr, see how people reach the limit of the machine, said-so, is like having a good D3x but not able to push it, but shoot like D60... flickr helps u to learn composition, as human are like monkey, monkey see, monkey do. tongue.gif hehe also, end of day, u are improving toward to pro skill, so as people always say, best way to learn is to learn from pro

testing the machine even with first 1000 shot wont justify you'll really like it or not in the end of the day, because people only realise how good it is when they jump tongue.gif like how most A300 user misses the LiveView after the A700 jump smile.gif

some may say how good is D90 how good this that, by looking at how pro pushes the camera limit, u would know which camera justify a limit of your choice. and the common problem with all buyer, the regret factor is reduce.

very true.. i must admit, i've learnt a lot from looking at photos from good photogs (consciously and subconsciously). i believe so that the LV will surely be missed, even I've not used a LV cam before feels that i'm missing out a lot not having LV. makes life so much easier at times..

agreed, but then, they will give excuse like, "noone use liveview one laaaa" or "liveview for noobs" hahaha, they really dont know what they missing. but they will shot back at use, why sony dont have video? hahahaha, i say, sony have leading HDvidcam, they dun wan spoil thier own market, and they are pretty cheap too.. tongue.gif
and yup LiveView is a major improvement, i primary use it during tripod shot, because i need to cover the OVF eyepiece, else unwanted light may get it from the OVF. landscape, long exposure, staged shot, live view help a lot, and it gives real emulation of the shutterspeed and apperture effect...

if i use "wide"..the camera would try to catch the focus point on the |      |  at the sides right? im kinda used to the center point as i could exactly tell the camera what i wanna focus..instead of letting it to guess >.<  ...so not very sure how does "wide" works..lol
last night it really frustrate me a lil bit...coz the kid just cant stop moving..and i have thousands of hands holding digital camera around me..sometimes when i press the shutter..den i realized..suddently got 1 hand come into the frame..zzz

easiest way, turn to AF then turn back to MF..

dont have to do that, press on the lens release switch for 1 second, then unpress, the lens will auto adjust to infinity

throw in kit lens somemore.. I throw in my A100 body!! HIAK!!! .. okey i take back my word
hey.. really nice!! NICE MOMENT!! rclxms.gif 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 tongue.gif
agree
nope, flare is original... no PP.. the 28mm prime is quite notorious for its flaring, which sometimes is a good thing

sometimes, i only use my 28mm and 50mm, switching between the 2 when needed, even at events.. troublesome at times, but to get the ambient without flash, it works like a charm.

and to what i've read, theoretically, SSS only kicks in below 1/10s.

Ok! This is just a snapshot but what I'm asking you guys is to guess the focal length of the lens used in this shot.

No peeping in the EXIF ok?
