Never happen as u never has hotpixel, or never has pixel mapping occured on your A350 ?

Not many ppl will always shoot very long exposure time, thus this might not be an issue for them.

I send my camera to SONY twice, first time when the kit lens jam, I ask them to remove my hot pixel, and yes.. the sensor is clean from hotpixel. After near to 1 year, before the warranty end, I send to SONY the 2nd time. I ask them to check on hotpixel again... The engineer told me that.. if not very critical, better don do it, as this might increase the noise when shooting long shutter.. I was like "huh, oh.. OKay..."

is there any alternative way to remove hot pixel other than bringing it to sony? i have used long exposure quite a lot these days..
my warranty for body finished by march 2010, i wont be back to malaysia till then..
never sent for service since i bought my cam

hey wanna ask u all...

which one to buy..
the alpha 550 or d90 nikon.....


gonna get one soon...

not this question again..

trust me, u cant enter sony thread ask sony vs other model, same to enter nikon thread ask nikon vs sony. there might be a bias feedback and it is really up to personal preference. some like nikon because the color slightly vivid compare to other, some like sony or canon may be the color a bit warm. some buy sony bcos they like minolta lenses and carl zeiss lens, some like sony bcos it is no video record. majority is influent by fren. i got see my fren totally dont what is dslr buy canon 450D after 2 week sold it rugi 200 and buy d90 just because brain wash by others in TT. very funny

and there are too many other feature to compare epsecially in term of noise and low light. just ask yourself which feature u like then buy it. i can tell you one feature that is a550 no video record and d90 do have. (actually i m the noobest at here, may ingore my message if others reply lol n one last thing. if u enter nikon thread they say sony a550 good i potong )

why need avoid, its a catch light.. nice in potrait, make the eye really shines

I am keen to buy A350, offer me your best price, COD in Klang Valley area, must be in 100% working condition, no "broken" pixel, fungus or dust on sensor. PM me please.

Does anybody happen to know where can i get this old lens?

Minolta AF 75-300/4.5-5.6 new

signither: Nice! And it doesn't look underexposed.

hkhk: To be specific, you mean pixel mapping on the sensor? As far as I know every time the month changes, the camera scans the sensor for hot pixels and remaps them. This is different from the Pixel Mapping option in the menu of Live View Alphas, to scan the Live View sensor.

That said I have never encountered a problem with pixel mapping on the A100/A700/A900, and I have not used other Alphas for over a few months to see it. Hot pixels caused by long exposures are perfectly normal. I've posted the links before. There's black frame subtraction there which is meant for long exposures. If you have to make a few long exposures, take one black frame and use that on all the exposures.

jimlim007: How about auto-focus speed in Live View? All other brands fail at that.

yeah, this sony rock! but abit suffer of smaller find viewer i read on 7D review by dpreview, it call the "relatively auto focus", does canon already caught up auto focus like sony?

if you want video recording with your DSLR, go for the D90..

hey nice pics!!d model looks familiar...I think i saw u while i was taking some pics with my fren there...this is at FRIM right?lol i was thrilled to see a sony user...

btw here's wat i took thr..some interesting pic..

True, it can be removed by the Long Exp NR. i send the camera for servicing when warranty almost end. Like other, I ask them to check on the AF, check on the hotpixel issue sekali, since sometime I still found some white pixel when i shoot with Long Exp NR ON.

at last, after lurking in the dark for near 2 years.... The light hath come to show me the path

sanyo eneloops..

maha not bad too

congrats.
I use Maha Imedion 2100mAh.
other good candidates are Eneloop and SONY Cycle Energy.

all those mentioned are good i belive
just make sure, do not get GP batteries
from my experience Maha Imedion perform much much better than GP in terms of durability
after more than 10 times recharging, the capacity decrease a lot
