i got both good and bad service from Sony Service Center Msia

the bad one, they never fix my backfocus issue (well, everyone now knows that SSC doesnt have the skill or people who knows how to fix it) and my crooked aperture blade on my kitlens (reason because it's a 'CHEAP' lens from their HEAD TECHNICIAN, i spended 1 whole hour argueing with him.)

the good one? i got my LCD changed and whole camera serviced in ONE hour during 'lunch time' when i was in midvalley's SSC. they are sooo nice... (reason because i am from sarawak, i cant wait a day or too troublesome for me to come back to midvalley the next day, and i need the camera tongue.gif coz i am vacation in KL, LOL)

* and because i have problem register online for my A300, i complained sooo much to the SSC, they gave me 6 month instead of the usualy 3 month extended warranty.

i tot AF speed is dependent on the motor in the body? meaning all lens(non motor) are about more or less the same speed?

the diff only when u have SAM or SSM or 'HSM' or any Motorised lens?

correct me if im wrong...for portrait..i notice that using long range the result is better than using close range most of the time(assuming the size of the model in the picture is the same)..the face usually looked more 3D from long range..and it looked flat when we shoot with wide lenses..

i 2nd that.

200mm F4 is much nicer then 50 F1.4.

ieR: SAM/SSM may or may not be faster than a screw-drive lens. For example it is widely known that the Nikkor AF-D 50mm F1.4 focuses faster than the Nikkor AF-S 50mm F1.4G SWM.

Focusing accuracy also depends - the Tamron 70-200mm F2.8 is bad and slow on the Canon/Nikon but good and fast on the Sony/Pentax.

kevinwcw: I keep forgetting to ask! Argh. There are talks about the A550 with 18-55mm kit lens coming in soon. If you don't need a camera now, you might save money by waiting!

lehtung: The butterfly showdown is awesome! I hope you got one from the side as well!

achew: Not really. It all depends on the angle of the face.

Kul | Mo0: It's just how I like it, with a wee bit of vividness.

ic ic, but there is a purpose of SAM/SSM rite? supposely SAM helps a lot in AF-C... SSM for bigger lens with bigger screw to turn bigger elements where it might indirectly cause a long term damage to the internal motor if no SSM for Huge Lens? but IF an SSM/SAM is damage, does the internal able to turn it? or the internal's motor is bypassed (no connection into the lens itself?)? i cant imagine the money involve to repair a SSM rclxub.gif

serial number is correct, try DSLR A550, or just A550 or SONY A550, i forgot but the system recognise one of the word only. forgot the format.
