i hve the sony newest 50mm f1.8

its quite fun to use the bokeh, but sometimes at f1.8 it opens too wide the subject some part of it is blurred out too...never tested the f1.4 cos no budget, but the f1.8 is doable for now....been using it as a my everyday lens, somehow framing might be a problem if you are not used to the fixed length and need to be creative lo....

the other lens i have is 50mm f1.8 only
i was hoping the 16-105 can give me abit more range.....u know la sometimes goout shoot girls cannot get the range i want and other photog hog the place then i pengsan with my short range

ier, all ur fault la....i at the shop look look for 16-105 then suddenly duno y play the a550 aiseh.......yaa now i shooting at iso1600 and f4 indoors and its almost like iso200 on the a350 ehahehae.....shiok le....
somehow the interface very messy la...(in liveview)

dont wanna get the 55-200, I sold it off last time cause I didnt utilise it..was hoping for a wide + slightly range(16-105) was good....I am hoping if sony or sigma create something like 13-140 would be nice range(not so greedy on the wide and not so greedy on the zoom)

err now for new lens would have to wait till next year angpau lo.....my budget blow kau kau........anyway once i get to shoot something i post here...one thing good is the dro+5 (no chance to try the hdr yet, hope it can turn out like photoshop'ed combine hdr quality

wa lau, i still dont know to be happy with my purchase or cry..the a550 dual colour design is not easy to hide and if my gf/future wife knows I sure die la since we were suppose to save money for wedding.......

anyway i tried some sample test shot to tweak a nice creative setting, does it looks funny? i notice also don't trust liveview 100% i think the lcd got some tuning problem, when i switch to vivid creative setting everything look so saturated like +10 everything....but when review on computer, looks ok..

below shot (to try tweaking out the nice vivid colour)
Dro(lv3) vivid=contrast+1/saturation+1/sharpness+3
F4 1/40 Iso1600(auto) No Flash Fire

ier, how did u like the DRO on this?? it's Level 3

I cannot tahan DRO level 5...i look at it somehow the colour too vibrant make me feel pening...........DRO off also cannot (probably cause in my A350 I am used to DRO+) DRO Auto - normally sticks to level 1, so kinda not so nice

most probably i will stick to DRO 3 or 2

ahchew, hows the crumpler strap?is it comfy on your neck when u leave your camera in front of you (your heavy lens will tend to point down to the ground)? somehow my cam is abit heavy the current strap seems to be like "cutting" into the neck flesh behind there when left dangling...

ier, hmm glass type, okie i will try to look for those screen protector lo

lehtung, i took the pictures for you as below - General Settings
DRO(LV3- I like this setting) AWB F4
Somehow for each of the ISO the shutter speed changes, i hope its the right way to do the cropping. Anyway my analysis I still love ISO12800 after what I have been thru on the A100 and the A350

ISO1600 - 1/15

ISO3200 - 1/30

ISO6400 - 1/60

ISO12800 - 1/125
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


ier - I think i saw u posted the tutorial, yes I have seen it but not sure how much padding to put on the strap?? hmm maybe I should also customize something like yours too...I will try the HDR tomorrow outdoor and show u all how the performance...

all, one thing i dont like is teh formatting of the memory stick, takes abit longer than my A350 for a 4gb memory stick. Also the shutter sound wa lau it's kinda loud reminds me of my A100. Not sure if anyone knows? somehow the charger, takes abotu 1 hour to fully charge a 2% battery , its so fast meh?? my a350 charger also not so fast le....maybe i need to test it out a few more days first.

Ps. I hope someone get poisoned like me and contribute to Sony whistling.gif

albnok and tanjq87, thanks for the teaching and now its time for me to find the remote!! anyone selling??, I only got the A550 for one day and somehow too many new functions from my A350...need abit more getting used to
and YES I forgot I had the High ISO NOISE REDUCTION turned on, so for all of you all this might not be a fair example but it could be the "worst case" example of how bad you pics can look in high iso (can rite?)

just back from En.Zainal talk...looks like I am long way more to photojournalism...anyway just to show u what u have missed.
Todays I was supposed to find someone with 16-105 to see see test test, but seems like noone using over there...but saw a guy using 135mm notworthy.gif
Also was supposed to find out the actual size of 5MDH but ended up talking to a participant on his 6MDH seems like a super good enough bag for me..and also a lady with the Bagman (M size) icon_idea.gif somehow everywhere only selling L size

2 model shot + free 1 last minute
sorry all setting standard no PP yet..jsut to let u all taste something....and BTW A550 7fps my flash cannot recharge fast enough to reflash, had to use the slower fps setting.Ps. I hate facebook hosting quality - all downgrade
