QUOTE(perfect10 @ Nov 4 2009, 06:40 PM) i wanna ask is moving from A350 to A550 an upgrade?? how long have u been using the a350? let this be somewhat of an explanation: QUOTE -about the same size and weight -new sensor but still 14MP -increased ISO speeds, but you should try the A350 at ISO3200 to enjoy the nice grain you remember from film in the 80's -higher fps -slightly bigger viewfinder -better 3"-screen (I still don't understand why they talk of VGA 640 x 320, but 921.000 pixels) -screen tilts down 90° instead of 45° -SD instead of CF (improvement?) -HDR -2nd live-view option added
-useless new user interface (glad it can be turned off) -battery remains the same -buttons are rearanged to provide space for the bigger screen
-Sony added an ugly two-color black grey housing

QUOTE(amadeo @ Nov 4 2009, 11:04 PM) Guy's,..... those of u who owns external flash and u want a very good video tutorial on using it, do look/buy/borrow/google the below video.. very good tutorial and tips in a very easy to understand guide suitable for beginners/amatuers.. it has 14 chapters and all i can say, i improve my wedding shot a lot after learning from it..   Chapter List : » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Chapter ONE: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS The first goal of this video is to guide you to the right way to use the tools you already have. The second goal is to show you how to create better quality light for all your OCF shooting situations. Both have their own series of problems we need to solve.
Chapter TWO: CHOOSING LIGHT QUALITY The end result (a nice picture) is much more important that how you got there, so let’s take a glimpse at what we can do as far as the look and feel of our OCFlash images so we can decide what type of photographic light quality we want.
Chapter THREE: INDOORS vs. OUTDOORS How ‘bout we take a quick review of the light quality choices we have for indoors and outdoors?
Chapter FOUR: EXPOSURE ISSUES EXPOSED No matter which type of light modifer we choose, we need to keep it in control with regard to exposure.
Chapter FIVE: EXPOSURE MODES: A AA, TTL, AUTO, MANUAL We have three basic types of controlling exposure in the OCFlash world: Manual, AUTO and TTL. Each has their place in professional photography, but where and when?
Chapter SIX: TTL EXPOSURE MODES There has been a TON of technology poured into the TTL systems in the past few years. Each new TTL camera and flash gets better and better, but we cannot rely on TTL to make all of our exposure decisions unless we discover where TTL fails. Here’s how to make your TTL system work better.
Chapter SEVEN: MANUAL EXPOSURE MODE Some photographers don’t have the patience nor tolerance for automated exposure systems that cause trouble. Instead, they take the old-school manual exposure route and shoot JPEGS with exposures as tight as a drum. We’ll show you how they do it.
Chapter EIGHT: AUTO EXPOSURE MODE Resting comfortably between TTL and manual exposure methods is auto exposure. Auto mode does a respectable job and is the cornerstone to many successful OCFlash shooters who rely on JPEG exposure tolerances for their bread and butter. Let’s take a closer look?
Chapter NINE: CHOOSING THE RIGHT MODE AND MODIFIER FOR YOU Wow, TTL, AUTO, MANUAL modes, direct, diffused, bounce bounce+direct. How are you going to choose the right system for your OCFlash images? Let’s make it easy by narrowing down the choices you have to look at.
Chapter TEN: HARDWARE: CHOOSE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB There is nothing worse to a photographer than not having the right tool for the job, or worse, having the wrong tool for the job. Here’s our top performing flashes and (in our opinion) the only ones you should be using.
Chapter ELEVEN: SHOOTING VERTICAL IMAGES We all need to flip between shooting horizontally and vertically. But once we get your flash and light modifiers set, how can we just turn them sideways and get good light? Here’s some tips.
Chapter TWELVE: USING TWO LIGHTS So many photographers ignore a second flash because they think it’s too much work and effortor it’s just not worth it, but let me show you some neat ideas for making your flash images so much more appealing than your competitions images?
Chapter THIRTEEN: WIRELESS TRIGGERING So how are we going to trigger these single and two light shots? Simple. We have a few different ways that work well.
Chapter FOURTEEN: THE IMPOSSIBLE TASK Keeping an eye on technology pays off.  wow this really helps me a lot in understanding flash fotography! anyone wants to download can get it HEREcredit to amadeo and finejava  and ofcoz Mr Will Crockett..

QUOTE(Tainted @ Nov 6 2009, 04:15 AM) I see. So either one would be fine anyways. Btw, my budget only allows me to get one. So let say, 55-200 vs F1.8 50mm, which would be a better option? [Considering the fact that I've read from reviews that a 55-200 is much better compared to tamron 70300, so i guess my option would only be 55200 and F1.8 50mm] i never actually try the 50mm f1.8 but my 55200 gives me sharp and very satisfying (for me) pictures with good IQ.. absolutely it's usefull since u dont have to change lenses that much.. but considering the 50mm f1.8 is macro so it should be okey to choose any lens in that matter
