I got suspended too
hope the staff will act also on other threads, all across the board, not just alpha thread... for fairness sake.

maybe if someone joins Alpha Orange League, cannot congrat too... as not constructivee?

anyway... thinking of getting the A550 + 1680CZ bundle...

the a550 + CZ bundle is sooo tempting la... ( ~rm4700)
if buy separate a550 body rm2700 + CZ 1680 rm2500 .... meaning save rm500 la
haiyya

STF maybe later on la... I need a walk about lense... and the 1680 range is so ideal for the purpose... CZ summore ...

well... the usual advise is ...
keep shooting to familiarize yourself with your new a550.
post your pictures here for comments to learn from the sifus and veterans here
another website for alpha owner is the alphanatics.com

and... dont forget to PM bro amadeo to put you in the A550 owner list
you can use the a550 user bar from page 1 of this thread if you wish, so that easy for others to know which camera you are using

Congrats porkchop
Btw which shop did you go to? I have to be careful not to be "pukau"ed when going there

Had a look at a550 in Centre Point, KKinabalu. Hold and tested it a bit. Quite nice. Much better handling ergonomics than a230, a330. One thing which I found to be slightly discomforting is the shutter button. Have to be careful when pressing the shutter button to auto focus as pressing it slightly can trigger the shot, rather than just wanting to auto focus. But I guess user will get use to this.

Which memory card (brand, size, speed etc) do you guys reccommend for the a550? There's 2 slots there.
Im seriously considering getting a a550, maybe the a550 and CZ1680 bundle.

difficult worr... left right front back top bottom all poison
my poison defense shield kenot tahan

eh, anyone has any suggestion what memory card to get for the a550? brand, size, speed... anything else? Its gonna be my very own 1st DSLR... so, Im still not properly informed and educated on this memory card thing... coz I read before some people complaining of their memory card. Hence Im trying to make an informed decision on which one the best for me. Big size would be ideal but what about speed? what size to choose? speed and brand too .

Appreciate if photo kaki here can share info.
