I am looking at the a230 RM1799 or the A330 RM2199...but many of my friends advised against it...
they ask me to choose from either canon or nikon due to better quality...and cheaper/more variety
of accessories/lenses...

quite like the A230 due to its affordable pricing and design....

hi there..when i first considered sony,my frens too advised against it..say canon and nikon more established and lens cheaper(50mm 1.8),but i see those pics posted in this thread and compared to those in the canon and nikon thread i just cant help feeling that the pics in this thread are awesome..and they are taken by sony dslrs!! rclxms.gif

anyway heres wat i think,since the a230 is a comparably cheap entry level dslr..u could just go ahead and get it if it attracts u..u can sell it off without losing too much if u realize u dun like it after some time..go to some shops or sony centre and try out d a230 cukup cukup if u think its ok for then buy it!!

so far this two days of playing around with my a300 i think sony aint dat bad afterall smile.gif

i wouldnt say you're wrong about the statement, but you have greatly mistaken, photos no matter how good or bad it is, is taken by the homosapien holding the camera and NOT by the camera itself. the camera is a tool, the same goes, you credit leonardo da vinci for the mona lisa, not the brush that da vinci used to paint the mona lisa...

very true..

i was just trying to point out that sony dslrs are not as bad as wat others say bout it since so many great pictures are created using them..to some degree the cameras helped rite? however i do strongly agree that in the end its the pictures that are important and that the cameras are onli the tools to create the final product that u wan..

if u r good n creative photographer..u produce wonders even if u r shooting with digital PnS...if u know nuts about photography..u produce shits even if u r using Dx3..

i had to agree that the tools help to a certain degree(otherwise y would we buy dslr anyway)..but the biggest factor is stil the man behind the camera..

lesson learnt..i will remember that by heart..

oo..icic..i always had the impression that larger aperture would produce a more blur and smooth bokeh..thats y im aiming for the 50mm..maybe i need to reconsider hmm.gif
still need more time to play around with my camera to figure out wat i really need..better dun rush n regret later tongue.gif
