still not yet ....

today just went in the showroom and testing the A550 ....

I was like totally amazed with it's performance especially the speed priority mode.... but I have some question about it ... the speed priority (7FPS) means that totally cannot adjust the aperture on M mode? I did test the shot on speed priority in Manual and the aperture was free to adjust .... very confused >_<

Overall it was amazing however I dislike it's new handling .... everything wasn't fit well compared with A350 especial the AEL button and the shutter speed scroll ..... one more thing is the grip is slightly shorter than the A350 making me doesn't felt so comfortable as A350 but again I really maybe ... wanted this for the performance by sacrificing the comfortness XD

it means that you do your adjustment before u press the shutter... then the camera will use that exposure setting to capture all 7 shots... it doesnt really apply to M mode as your settings will be the same anyway, it mainly applies to P, A and S modes.. where normally the exposure will change accordingly TTL while shooting. But if in speed priority, the exposure wont change even if the scene shifts from dark to bright in-between the 7 frames capture

for your budget, i'd recommend for you to go for the 50mm either 1.7 or 1.8, and a flash, u could either go for the F58 or F42 if you're on a tighter budget


Added on December 11, 2009, 11:41 pmbut most of all, since you are still so new in photography, i'd always recommend to stick to your kit lens 1st and try to reach it's potentials 1st. then only you will know what's it's limitations and what are your real direction in photography, coz the kit lens covers from wide, mid and tele range quite comfortably. its a good kit to learn from compared to those 18-55 which would be a shorter range by a bit

oh on the A200 -> A3xx upgrade, you only gain in live view and 4MP extra in the case of A350

marauderz, on the contrary, i dont recommend the F20 for low end bodies, its growing potentials are limited

give it a try and u will see what's the difference.. then measure the 4R's print dimension, calculate the ratio, which ratio does it fit more...

hmm.gif quite true also, my personality is that i dont like to follow the crowd.. coz when i started Sony-ing, Sony is a misnomer in the camera world... not considering PnS genre

of course with the always-on strobes, u will see the shadow placement and can adjust the lighting appropriately before the shooting starts. but those strobes doesnt come cheap.

phew, i tot with flash also it will underexposed....
flash in TTL should work but i always set my Flash EV to -1.0 or more for such situation...
mcline_007: should be f/2.8 isit?

your camera's sensor does not have a wide enough dynamic range to cover these areas for bright and dark. normally, for that type of pics, its alright as long your subject is properly exposed, then the b/g doesnt really matter that much..

unless you're speaking in technical terms, then yes, only a flash can remedy it.

i think the lifespan of the flash lamp will decrease significantly if modelling light is used often
